Definitely rain 🙄😁
If you have unused products they could go on vinted
Your dentist sounds like a such a good 'un.
Anytime you're feeling low or stuck about not moving, remind yourself you have the dentist most people dream of!
Good idea to invest in ovens being properly done once and for all
Glad you've got nice things coming to you, but in future bear in mind that none of us know when an app might randomly shut down with no warning so maybe don't leave quite as much in there just in case!
Absolutely have a clothes clear-out if you need to but remember vinted also does homewares, books, electronics etc. Not as popular as clothes but if you have bits you know you wouldn't move with you, no harm in trying8 -
Def sell the toiletries on vinted, I love a Clarins anti cellulite cream which I always buy off there ! All the little bits you get in the posh advent calendars go on there too if I won’t use themSealed pot challenge 822

Great point about the app. I bought a couple of bits then withdrew the rest of the money. I just need to do a couple of listings now.PennysIntoPounds said:

As for the dentist yes! I saw him by accident as an emergency at the practice and stuck with him. He only does one day a week so the whole implant fiasco was caused by another dentist at the same practice who has subsequently left. I would not recommend the practice by I would recommend the hygienist I see who has extra periodontal training from the dentist I see. Both have said that if I am moving I should stick with them - and - if I am moving outside of a feasible to get to them distance then I should let them pick by new dental practice which is so sweet. (Dentist moving to a practice in Wimbledon soon so if anyone needs a new dentist in the area PM me as he is really excellent - I'm no where near Wimbledon but for now he is going to stick with his one day a week where I can get to - and I really would go to Wimbledon for him!)

Ordered hay, have used the last of it this morning. I forgot so I asked farmer if he could deliver today - p-l-e-a-s-e and he says he will so hopefully one of his lads can make it. He is a great sort and I know somehow he will make sure the horses have hay today.
Another reason for living here. Along with my farrier who is excellent too. Appalling timekeeper but lovely chap and excellent at what he does according the very good vet - another good reason too.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Back from vets with WattyDog. What a star he is, his walking is much improved, vet thinks he is managing fine and we discussed leaving him on the steroids or withdrawing. I've already halved the dose but we will try dropping a little more and seeing if he can manage.
I then asked about the chest/tummy tangles so vet fetched the clippers and clipped some of the tummy then found the serious knot - underneath was a sore - I felt such a bad owner. Four of us ended up on the floor attempting to remove knot and clean sore. WattyDog was just so good I was moved to tears. I bought him a bag of treats as a special thank you as he really did accept so much with such good grace and not the slightest mutter or growl even though it must have hurt and be sore. A little walk later and we are home, dinner has been eating and WattyDog is wondering just how many kongs that vet trip was worth! (I'd say the everyone we have in the freezer to be honest).
The bill was much less than the groomers, the tangles started because he could not go to the groomers because he has trouble walking and standing but I've worked out a way to groom most of him, the tummy was just defeating me as he has never been a dog for tummy rubs. So vet visited, a tummy clip and treats. All ticked off.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

WattyDog is a star - and his owner is too. Not everyone would have been as thorough. Now that the villainous tangle is gone, you will probably find it easier to keep on top of the tricky bits of grooming (particularly if he thinks there might be a kong in it for him).I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living.

WattyDog is absolutely the best star ever. I feel sad I missed so much fun with him because of PPH so I am just loving enjoying his daft company now. Each day is a new day. He walks like a drunk, staggers up stairs, firmly believes he can jump into cars (he cannot, VNM has to lift him, although he can climb into mine because it is low to the ground). We are just having a nice time now.
In other news, heritage assessment done yesterday, which involved chatting to a very nice man in howling winds about Laurel Hedges house and a lot of photographs taken. He cannot see any problems and will now go away and write his report. One step ticked off.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
