Debt Reset....

CRANKY40

Good morning, 

I finished the month with £12 in the grocery budget which was good considering that the HT was home for more meals than usual. I sent £10 to the christmas pot and left the rest in the grocery account. I also managed to put £200 into my savings account. It should have been more but the HT needed trainers. I offered to pay as he pays for all his own clothes, travel expenses and food when he isn't in the house. 

BF's house is finally finished. It still needs paint on the walls that were plastered but we're having a break while we recover from the last 10 weeks. The house feels much more comfortable now though and the bits that we didn't really like much were all removed/altered during the other work. 

I've finished my springfrost blanket. I had to change one colour because it wasn't available anywhere and I chose my own colours for the border. I also didn't do the frill thing which should have been the last border row - I'm not a frill person. The sheep is nearly finished. I need to make one more leg and then sew the legs on. 

The HT and friends want to go to Amsterdam. I have pointed out that they can't even go on a night out to the nearest city without coming back without most of their stuff.....

Take care all of you 😊

Forgot to add the photo of the blanket. It's folded up -  I promise that I did make the whole blanket 😁

That's beautiful work, @CRANKY40. So neat, & I love the colourway.

The blanket is fabulous - well done you! As for the HT and the Amsterdam idea - your droll observation made me chuckle! Goodness knows what they'd manage to lose that far afield!

The blanket is stunning!

Thank you all for the blanket comments, you're very kind and it was fairly easy to do. With my heart in my mouth I put the HT's wave blanket in the washing machine this afternoon. It's come up lovely and clean and I draped it over the clothes maiden to dry. It's almost dry already which is really quick and I wish I'd known how easy it was - it would have been washed way more often if I'd realised.

I just love the blanket. You are so clever. I did laugh at the Amsterdam comment…I suppose you could just let them get on with it on their own, you might just find them milling about at the end of the street? 🤭

Beautiful blanket - such pretty colours and so neat.

I missed the posts on the HT's night out - definitely a grey hair accelerator for you.  And Amsterdam - yikes.

my youngest went on a school coach trip to the First World War battlefields and came back without their wellies (which were mandatory but loathed).  They also lost their History text book and passport.  Not sure how they got back into the country.   Of course like most teenagers they were adamant that none of this was their fault and declared that I was too stressy to keep going on about it. 😳

Thank you. I didn't choose the colours, it was made from a pattern on Attic24's blog. It did occur to me last night that I could have unfolded it a bit more so the width at least could be seen. 

Oh yes to the "it wasn't my fault" - the loss of his door keys definitely was but the phone/bank card/ID going home with his mate was only partially his fault he says. Apparently he gave his phone to her to mind because the weight of it was pulling his trousers down when he was dancing then she went home without saying goodbye. I did mention it to her last week and I said he would have been stuck in the city with no way of getting home. The look of amazement on her face......18 year olds are so much fun.

I'm allowed to mention such aberrations/lack of common sense roughly twice before the huffing and the "don't keep going on" comments start 🙄🤣
