Mmmmm, raspberries, I'm envious! KW has plans to turn a section of the garden into a 'kitchen garden' for us and I'm going to ask for raspberry canes to be included. We did have some at the allotment, but they didn't come with us

At least the gardens are now getting a good load of rain to rejuvenate them!

I am glad the doctor knows what is wrong and can treat it and it is not serious. Sounds like you had a great time in London and free cake !! and shots !! Its been raining here too stopped now but a very soggy puppy walk this morning !

I was v soggy too! Yikes. Then I came home and had haircut (£15). I have paid off my credit card from holiday earnings. Oh it's great having extra money but now I have to stop spending and remember that I am poor again.

I have loved this extra wage. I have 5 new bags for work, ( I do like a pretty bag) a new coat, a couple of blouses. I have also ordered some alliums, tulips, muscari bulbs, planted the lavenders and bought a few other plants for the garden (All bargains). It has been marvellous to have been paid to travel to great places.

Now I am back to being poor! My parents and brother come tomorrow. I would like to do some ironing if there is time. Then I don't think I am working this weekend and will sightsee with them.

I just checked my Barclays account. OMG they have given me £14 in cash for interest for one month !!!!!!!! If anyone hasn't transferred they must it is amazing. This is going into my mortgage overpayment.

I seem to be going to Brighton tomorrow for work. After tax I will get about £50 for this. How cool is that? My brother will go with parents to the local beach here and is deciding whether to go to Brighton, Bournemouth for Sunday. He wants to go on a zip wire. I have £60 for spending money till the end of the month. I will only buy some things for the family but I am not allowed to buy anything for myself as I have loads of nice things now. I would like to give some of my holiday wages to my parents as they always bring me food, some of it will go on the house insurance. The rest I will save so I have a safety net.

This second job has been really good for you SW not only allowing you to treat yourself and your family but you sound so upbeat it has been good for the soul

Enjoy the time with your family, hope it's not raining there

We went for a 10000k walk on the beach and have all had a snooze. I haven't spent anything but I do fancy a backpack - I have a new glittery one but this is only £55 and one in a design I like????? I shall see.

Oooh sounds lovely, I really like backpacks.

Treated myself to 2 Harris Tweed ones ages ago and they wear so well, will last me for ages so they will.
