Glad DH is back on the pile. Hopefully he will get it moved. That said my house currently looks like a bomb has hit it. Ooops. 

It's very nearly gone now, hurrah!  I almost have a floor.

My house always looks like a bomb site, so I feel your pain!

Our meal out was nice, and I was reasonably well behaved.  Steak with salad and onion rings, followed chocolate torte with strawberries which was lush!  We then went to a garden centre to have a mooch around the christmas section, and I bought myself a couple of faberge egg baubles - it's the closest I'll get to the real thing   

I found our water bill in my spam folder, and after 4 months of paying £90 a month, we are £162 in credit.  I'll wait until the meter has been in for a year, then hopefully our payment should be able to be reduced even more.

DH has removed nearly all of his pile, I just need to persuade him to get the decorations down from the loft now!  Hopefully tomorrow.

DH and I bought a new cooker 12 years ago.  We were promised that the insurance included an annual visit from a man who would clean it.  We're still waiting- unless it's an invisible house-elf of course.  Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx

Gosh that would be a dream (if they'd actually turned up!)

A nice round pad total for this month!  I must continue trying to get the extra in, it's very motivating.

One of my items is selling later, so hopefully that will start off December nicely.

Plan for today is to head to a Christmas market.

Little miss wants waffles for breakfast as she got a waffle maker for her birthday.

That’s a good PAD total for November. Enjoy the Christmas market 🙂

Thank you   I'm pleased with that total.

Waffles are done, but if it's going to be a regular thing I think I want a larger machine!  It only does one small one at a time, so takes forever.  I've saved half the batter for another day.  My knee is killing me after just standing there, that's not a good omen for today!  Hopefully walking will be better.

I make a huge batch of waffles and freeze them, pop them in the toaster to reheat
