    Oh Blackcats that made me laugh! I can imagine. I am glad to have a change of travel patterns this week too. House photos done. Now I can't decide whether to keep cleaning and titivating the place ready for viewings or disappear out for a walk while there is some sun.

    Pot is still £160.96 with £8.20 pending and I'm into the 7s! £78.18 to repay.

    I did, we went for a lovely walk and it was sunny and bright. It really lifted my mood as I slept really badly last night so definitely the right choice. A second house viewing booked for tomorrow so a lot of progress made since I called the estate agent last Thursday.

    Pot is £160.96 with £9.57 surveys pending and £3 coming on Vinted from an item I posted this morning. £73.81 to go to get back to a balance of £247.34.

    I had a wander round the Inside Aardman exhibit at the Young V&A in Bethnal Green. it was nice to see more of their drawings and models. I don't know how anyone has the patience to do stop motion work.

    Paid in a Vinted sale of £3 and some survey money. Holiday pot is up to £175.15 with £3.50 survey money pending. I'm in the sixes now with only £68.69 to go.

    OH tackled the council tax forms for universal credit reduction last week. Now we are just waiting to hear. Today is family visiting. It's been nice to have 67 days of doing other things although there has still been a lot of stress over the phone.

    OH had a promising first job interview and has been put forward for a short contract that would be perfect. My job hunting is not delivering a great deal back but I've had the odd rejection email.

    We've been going for some nice walks and listed 3 unwanted things. Next week's OAT is the huge tent. We realised it could go in the autumn and wanted to wait for spring/summer. Need to get on with it now!

    Good luck getting the tent listed, that'll be a great OAT done. If it seems too big a job, do pics one day, description another day, and actually listing on another day

    it's a great time of year to sell a tent.

    Sounds promising for your DH's job hunting. Fingers crossed that the council tax reduction is applied quickly.

    Sending good vibes for the job hunting and the house sale.

    I must visit that exhibition at the V&A

    Thanks for the goid wishes. It was a bit of a week here. Little Sis hadn't been back home for two weeks when my father had a fall, broke ribs and an artery. Tuesday it was touch and go. He came out of intensive care yesterday and the consultant is delighted with how he came through surgery. Now he needs to regain leg strength enough to leave his bed and heal 4 ribs. Eek. Both little sis and I are struggling

    Tent listing went on the not this week pile. The photographer took loads more photos so hopefully the house will go on the market next week.

    OH job hunting went well on Friday. A video interview, phone call and then another video interview all for the same job. Final interview on Tuesday in the office. This would be a great boon and would make us a lot less desperate on the house sale.

    My money news, it was going really well as you can't spend what you don't have. Now I have bought petrol and spent £6.75 on a sandwich and two hot drinks in the hospital cafe. And I don't care. So there!

    Holiday pot back at £175.17 with £3.50 pending in surveys. Worked out the extra two pence came from interest. Only £68.67 to go.
