Morning folks
I haven't caught up with the thread yet from yestertday but thanks to @determined_new_ms for starting us off!
Very randomly had a knock at the door yesterday just as we got back from the gym and it was the building chaps. Apparently they are going to start the roof this week. No one had contacted me and told me but hey ho!
Was really tired yesterday but went to the gym and then got out into the garden to tackle the hedge a bit. Managed to force myself to cook tea but I made it too spicy so poor OH ended up with cheese bagels instead! Work today so the normal sort of thing...
Oh and good news, my neighbour very kindly passed us £40 towards the cost of the gate!
Today's list:
B/L/D from stores
OH to do housework
Check PMP
Nip to allotment after work. OH will cut the grass and I'll pick over everything/tidy round
Poss wipe down some CDs while vegging out later
Have a good one all

Seen my accountant didn’t really tell me much more than I already knew re business tax / Range Rover. Wife came and felt the need to tell him we were there because I live my life on the ‘never never’. Absolutely mortifying. Rubbish day generally.7

You won't be the first and you won't be the last to sit in the accountants office and tell him that!alt80 said:Seen my accountant didn’t really tell me much more than I already knew re business tax / Range Rover.

This is the rock bottom part though - the way is up from here. I think as your wife sees you moving in the right direction she will be less angry.alt80 said:Seen my accountant didn’t really tell me much more than I already knew re business tax / Range Rover.
