Afternoon all and lovely to see some new posters   Its a fab thread so I hope you stick with us. 
Today is my dads birthday so we've spent the morning baking him a date cake,  wrapped around a bow that I had from something i'd receieved and pinned a happy birthday badge to it that I find in the "birthday's box"
Ds2 & I did the cake. 
Ds1 and I have prepped for his birthday tea,  we've decided on enchilladas and salad which we had everything for which was good!
I've done another online workout and two walks around the block for exercise (was meant to be one but I forgot to take an rm survey letter to post!)
said rm letter posted
Lunch was mackerel, mayo, sweetcorn and grated carrot sandwiches - yum yum yum
Sent my dad his birthday card via moonpig email (and used a code to get 30% off)
Going to spend a bit of time in the garage now trying to sort it (old tenant has left so I've got bits we've cleared out of there that the new tenant didn't want leaving and I need to make space for a freezer I've ordered! 
Thats about it,  take care all.

Hello everyone, great to see new people joining in 👋

I like this thread it feels like home.

This morning I fiddled around with the bank accounts. I also overpaid a smaller lump sum off the mortgage - this has/will be financed by the difference in payment between the original payment and the revised payment after paying off a lump sum last month (I have factored the revision of monthly payment by this 2nd overpayment - approximately) until the end of the year I have made some notes of tweaks I would like to make to our accounts after payday.

Hi All I agree with people above about nastyness on some other boards, where people are busy deciding how people should - or not spend their money. I have been doing a bit of board hopping so have left some slightly random notes here and there - but mainly just trying to restate some of the things I have leaned in my last year on here. To be honest my life is a lot more organised now. 
Today was dropping one ds off to train to airport - have slightly modified my services! And this was combined with a walk in lovely botanical garden with other ds and we brought lunch. Only investments was a new sports t for ds as some of the old ones sting and 2 cold bottles of limonade. It is really hard to keep a drink cold and fresh, so that was a luxury.
Then had cold drink with neighbour and a chillax in the heat preparing to work this evening doing some screen stuff. 
Dinner is a catchall of whats in the fridge so will do some shopping - probably on Saturday. 
Have a nice evening everybody.

Evening all

Just a quick one as I have been working this afternoon, and have to water the garden in a minute. Today's small things:

Walked dog first thing for free exercise

Kitchen clean up

Cut some lettuce and reseeded the box it came out of with spring onions

Gave the basil a good haircut and made a big batch of pesto. Kept one tub out for dinner and froze 3

Salad sandwiches with homegrown lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber for lunch

Pesto pasta for dinner

Need to come up with a better list tomorrow!

Off out to water the garden now

This afternoon I sorted out the insurance on both our cars, saving over 40% on last year (where is the spinning Martin head when you need it?) We should also get cashback but I'm not factoring that in, if it arrives we will use it to overpay the mortgage.

I made the mistake of spending some time on a certain thread that had the potential to be controversial. There were some real bullies on that thread IMHO. I had to stop reading in the end

Morning folks (just)

Going to be a hot one here today so I hope you're all enjoying it/keeping cool.

I have come to terms with my hair more Up at 5am for a gym session. Feeling pretty good about it at the moment which is nice. Working a Friday overtime today so more money in my pocket for next month which will be nice. At the moment, things are ticking over salary-wise thank goodness. 

Today's list:
B/L/D from stores
OH to pick up the shopping
Make a list of things that need to happen at the weekend.
Check PMP

Hmmm not a lot here... Have a good one all

Afternoon all

Very hot today but it is fairly cool and pleasant indoors, with the windows open and the electric fan on. Today I have:

Walked dog first thing before it got hot

Tackled fruit trees which needed additional summer pruning, straight after breakfast, before it got too hot. Managed to give them a haircut without any bits falling over into odd, fussy neighbour's garden (I am taking little soft leafy twigs not huge branches lol, but gardening for them equates to outdoor housework, complete with hoovering....)

Put all the stuff I had cut off into the compost bin

Tidied up the tomato plants and watered them

Watered the fruit trees after their haircut

Made a big pot of chilli which will feed us for a couple of days, used up bits from fridge and freezer (operation run down freezers for defrosting continues)

OH picked the tomatoes and raspberries, I found a few radishes and more courgettes

Wrapped 2 ebay parcels for posting tomorrow morning, will print out paperwork later to avoid queueing. Must wait to use the printer till OH is out with small dog - he barks most irritatingly at the printer

Checked banks and updated spreadsheet. Can't believe it is the first of August tomorrow!

More money moving shenanigans, finished now I think. Opened a NS&I savings account - best buy atm apparently. Now wait for the interest rate to drop now I have opened one    

Still to do:

More watering later

Check the chilli for seasoning, and reheat it for dinner. Will do some rice and extra veg to go with it - griddled courgettes to use some of the mountain.
