Thanks, both.
Will be pushed for cash this month as I’m taking son2 to Manchester for 2 days then paying towards having central heating fitted! (I got the Green Homes Grant).
I would like to have the mortgage paid off by Hallowe’en...2 -
Central heating installation has been brought forward so will start in just over a fortnight! I’ll then be able to fill any scuffs and gaps and do a full repainting inside.
Son1 has his driving test on Monday. He made an error 30 minutes in during his first test (in November) and this is the earliest he could get a re-test. He had a couple of professional lessons before his first test (I taught him apart from those) but will have to YouTube observations over the weekend.
Manchester tomorrow!
And we enjoyed the football last night.4 -
Driving test has just been cancelled.2

Not much to report. Son2 can now leave isolation! I’ve done quite a bit of gardening. Waiting for the central heating to be fitted now!4 -
No payments made but I have just transferred my contribution to the plumbing company who will be installing my central heating next week.
I have also tidied the house and taken photos of the lack of central heating so I can compare photos afterwards (once I have tidied up and repainted)!
Now literally no money at all until next Friday as I'm over my overdraft limit. £5 in my purse but I made sure we had petrol, food, cat food and hen food.
