    Glad things are going well with the business, and that you're seeing plenty of the kids, hun.

    Keep updating!

    Blooming long, hot day today. This is me....:mad: , not because I'm angry but because I'm now that colour...:D . No, not that colour, this one...:mad:

    Took the twins to their first ever tournament today. DS3 was selected but not DS2 as he is right-footed and we have more than enough of those. DS3 is the sweetest left-footed player I've seen at that age....anyway their team were knocked out at the semi-final stage after extra time. They won four and drew three of their seven league games and didn't concede a goal at all but then lost in the semi by 1-0.

    Caught the sun out there big time without even realising it.:j . Bought four ice-creams @ £1.00 each plus £2.00 for programme and parking. Off to see DS1 and DD1 tomorrow whcih will be nice.

    Did that job for my new customer today which cost £5.30 over the Severn bridge and a tenner in petrol.

    Got up today aching all over after yesterday's football tournament. Boys still awoke at the same time though....:rolleyes:

    Went down to see DS1 and DD1 this morning and got back about teatime. Only spend was another £45 in fuel in the car ( was Tesco's and 45 Clubcard points though )....

    Boys gone back now and house is quiet again. :(

    Didn't really do too much today. Morning and evening post runs as usual, my mate John came round for a coffee and we discussed where our respective businesses go from here.

    Basically, for the last five months since I've lived here, my rent has been £115 a week but I owed him around £1,000 from some work done on my car, tyres etc and a bit of rent arrears when I moved in. I worked an extra morning and evening a week to pay that £1k off and next week, it'll be gone. From next week, I'll be cutting down by one evening a week at the same time as the rent goes up a little so basically I'll be doing five mornings and two evenings a week to earn the same as my rent. That's quite a good deal for both of us as he has a reliable, trustworthy tenant and I get my rent paid for doing nine hours work a week...:j

    Quiet day spend-wise yesterday. Coughed up £1.27 on five bagels then this moring, I spent £4.34 on some cheese, coffee and sugar.
