Morning all
Checking in before paid stuff, trying to fly a bit but work so busy again that I’m just really managing to tick over with the basics. Weather has been rubbish so washing is piling up, I don’t like using the TD all the time. Forecast for later part of week looking better so maybe I can get caught up then.Hugs to Dizzy, so sorry to hear the news. Also hugs to anyone else in need and get well soon vibes to Natty.I’ll try to post later with a report of some flying! Take care all x8 -
Good morning all
So that’s what it’s like to sleep all night. And still tired somehow.
Full day at work today, but dinner was prepped last night, ready to go in the oven when I get home. Wm is on with a load, but there is a beautiful pink /purple sky outside atm, so I guess that the weather isn’t going to be great for drying it. In reality, very little other flying likely to happen.
GWS wishes for Natty, and hugs to everyone else x8 -
Morning all

Question - on a laptop I sometimes get a split page. But this doesn't happen on any other website. Anyone else had this?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

I've been in the WAC since 5.30 this morning, which is an improvement on 4.30
WMx1 of 2 is swirling - the weather forecast here is "sunny intervals and a gentle breeze" so that looks promising. After today, the next window of opportunity for hanging out will be at the weekend.
Still struggling with a list of letters, texts and emails to be sent, so I've made another cuppa and will plod on until DH gets up and makes breakfast.
I should like to empty some of the pots and start planting bulbs later, but DH might want to take me out out for lunch (I hope!)8 -
I'm not sure how productive today will be.. I went to bed early so was awake in the middle of the night being cross that I was not asleep. My hip is extremely painful and drugged so I am likely to be useless.
I am still unsure about this loan situation and getting the house sorted. I need to put it all on paper and think about it logically I think.
Things on my must do list today..
post 2 ebeasty items and cancel a third.. I had 1 item and sent offers to watchers and ebeast threw a wobbler and allowed someone to accept the offer after someone else had already bought it.. but I am pretty certain I do not have a second.. I will check that first but I am pretty certain.
DW
WM/TD/in/out/shuffle/fold/away before cat sprinkles.
I want to empty a drawer upstairs to house socks.. I have 3 baskets of paired socks... better than the odd ones I had previously.. but still.. they need to go somewhere.
uniforms/lunches for tomorrowThrow blob of gammon in SC and new potatoes can go in later.. the girls can have wedges and fish.
OHs list for tomorrow!Loo seat in bathroom.. I was all excessive and bought a new one because mine is badly stained .. no idea what from, but it is gross and looks gross no matter how much you clean it.stuff in shed/loftde-fluff plugholes .. I loathe that job, it makes me gag so he gets to do it!change bed sheets/duvet covermince grass/weed/dead-head garden, again!Put away toys for over winter.I have a tesco crate to shuffle tins about in the shed.. they are in carriers at the moment and it is messy.Anything else is a bonus here!
Love and hugs to all in need

Prescriptions ordered.. mine and Boogs.. OH is thinking he has another hernia.
OH bossed to clean up cat shpoop and make tea.
I have sent inquiries for new window/doors, made a decision to buy the thickest underlay I can find for the front room so I am inspired to buy the cheapest crappet and then I will have stair and front room done at the same time.. the rug from the back room will then be binned (if I don't do that today) and the rug from the front room banished to the backroom. I have made that decision.. it took a while lol.
Moomin is having chips for breakfast.. as you do!
Next pile of quotes to find..

Good morning! (just!!)
Slow start again here - I am such a sloth! I have put on the WM and done some admin though.
I am going to hang out the washing, then I need to sort out some compost bins! I will be up to my elbows in muck I think! I need to empty the food bin in the kitchen into Lottie the Hottie, then empty the big compost bin at the allotment onto some beds ready for winter, before refilling. I think it will be a bit soggy, but the sun is out so I should take advantage!
I also need to call the ISP and haggle a better deal (a frog that has been on my list for a while!), and put on the DW and clean up the kitchen a bit. Then I think I will settle to crochet some more granny squares and maybe sort my crafting bits into tidy, organised areas
That is the plan, I had better get on with it!!
Have a good day everyone. Natty I hope you are resting up. Hugs to those that need them.8 -

Valli, yes I often get a split or partially loaded screen, but only on this website, most frustrating.
Just back in from work,
Bed is made, clothes picked up
Dinner planned & lunches for tomorrow
Dry cleaning collected
Bank visited
Going to have a cuppa and see what gets done after that. I need to plan a couple of lessons, I think I have everything but need to put it all together

The purpose of this site is to help people save money and so MoneySaving discussions need to stay on topic. If you want to post outside of this topic there are lots of other free open forums you can use to do this.
I am now worried about us.
