    Well we have stayed okay so far and all the glasses got collected. I've played some more games on my phone and cashed out again. Its not good earnings in relation to how long I've played the games but ive done it as an add on in the evening so it was free money in that sense! £21.50 is on its way to my PayPal account!!

    So everyone is paid except the plumber who is due to come and put the radiator back on after our plastering. I've asked him to service the boiler whilst he's here. I've money set aside which is hopefully enough. We painted the lounge this weekend. Took forever to dry between coats due to the time of year but we are calling it done. (New plaster just drinks paint doesn't it!) 
    Still need a side gate, not essential but will mean we can let the dog out easier if we have one. 
    Christmas fund is being spent as we speak. I'm currently feeling totally knackered and need a week in bed. Surely it's almost the weekend.....
    And Tesco have finally got around to asking for money. Moor croft and wescot have each been given the delights of managing the two accounts. Both have been ringing lots. I answered to wescot yesterday and asked for my number to be removed and will do the same for moor croft when it's convenient to pick up. I've not paid anything for a while but will set up a payment plan in the new year.

    Hope all the work on the house has made a lovely difference!

    Yes hopefully so. The windows have made a difference already, they look nicer, the bay is not on the verge of collapse and we think it's warmer. I'd like to say our bills will now be cheaper but the house attached to us is empty so we are not sharing any warmth 😂. Just need to put everything in the house back in the right room now and deep clean. Dust, tools and tat everywhere!

    I've answered to moor croft and they have removed my number so it's letters only now, both accounts are on hold for a month so that's all okay for now
