Monday stuff

I have unchecked the stay signed in box and apparently now I am allowed by the grace of google blogger to comment!! Not sure how may blogs I will be able to comment on but this is a start.  

Well we had our lie in before making our way to the swimming pool - weeny girl loves a splash.  We have investigated lessons but they are only offered 5-6pm week nights. Hmm I leave work at 5pm then pick her up at 5.45pm. Will have to keep swimming more often till something comes up.

 Sainsburys for supplies ( only because I thought I had a spend 30 get 6 off voucher but it was out of date). 

Lasagne x2 prepped one for tea the other to freeze. We made choc crispy tiffin type fridge cake!! Weeny girl chuffed.

Biggles back from his epic ride in time for tea.East coast to west coast via the scenic route taking in Alston and St Mary's Loch.   I shall not ask about speed. He has been given the evil eye and a filthy look.   tut tut Biggles.


I need to get some canes for the beans- I need to get some canes for the beans - and repeat 

AND NOW....

I can't even  comment on my own posts or reply!!!  So this is a bit of a reply.......Yes  we had a grand dinner and a lovely walk on the beach as well....   :-)

 oh yes the half days how much fun are they!!! lol I prefer to spend as much time with her as I can so don't care a jot really  its just a shame for her.   Maybe one day  we will move so far away that its really not feasible anymore and I know for one that he wouldn't put himself out to visit at all. I always wanted to live on Shetland..... lol

And hello ....

And hello to eveyone following my blog tooo!

Sick of Blogger!!! And a wee whine and some fun

Pah - Blogger still being a pain in the butt. Can only comment on some posts other ask for a stupid id thing which I don't have so can't post. Grrrr Am not being ignorant bloggers just hindered.


So far have accomplished the cleaning, washing and ironing and gardening. Weeny girl at other families. He is returning her early - common occurrence this. I like to maximise the free time I have with her. Despite having her here I feel as though I get hardly any time once you factor working to the equation. He works for himself and had freedoms that I do not. Still he sends her to his mothers  and returns her early and never asks to see more of her outside of his chosen time.... pah

First venture into strawberry tartage- architecture leaves a lot of be desired. Pork steaks and all the trimmings later for Sunday's dinner.


More ironing. Sat evening rather chill - excellent chow mein made by me.

TFI FRIDAY

Am tired and  glad of the meagre lie in tomorrow - Tomorrow I can roll over and cuddle the weeny one till I can be bothered to get up  or maybe I will cuddle Biggles - oo decisions decisions - both ( well  a lie till I have time to get small one to her other family's  house)

The garden and the kitchen are my only goals for the weekend. Oh and ironing ( booo) Thats it -and  minimal spends, maybe some bike time...............  Who knows.

One day will have to paint that sodding bathroom!

Quick post............

No more money drama's. Will check email at some point. Too tired tonight - weeny girl asleep since before 7pm  - fell asleep on the sofa. 

Pay day today so off to pay for the car tax £130 sodding quid.  Other than that - a bread drama!!!!
First time in ages I purchased a loaf of sliced long life wholemeal ( Tuesday) opened it today to find that half of it was covered in mould.  Weeny girl wanted cheesy toast so had to use it - the non mouldy bits what do you think I am!!!  Would take it back to Morrison's if I hadn't. Oh well will have to get on with home baking!!!  I should for the sake of my thighs leave the home baking for a while or keep it for special occasions!!

Am 10stone 10 sometimes 10st 8 so it is creeping down a little bit - 9st 10 would be fine Ihave decided. When in my 20's it was 8st 10 as the ideal weight but we live and learn and get older and need a more comfortable arse to sit on after another 9-5!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have been disgusted with myself for ''letting myself go'' ha ha ha


My mission is to keep the house in a reasonable state so that I can wash the kitchen floor at the weekend!!!


Am watching Three in a bed - the programme about the  Bed and Breakfasts - super funky Snooze in Brighton - lots of vintage but a bit too pricey for me!!!  I  prefer bothy's, hostels and tents the odd caravan and late rooms for splashing out!!!

Out of context reply - sodding blogger

The below is my reply to the Pissed off as a pissed off thing  comments! Blogger is being a pain!!

This is Eeeek - hi peeps! have updated the rest of the story above. I have had enough and it is a shame. To be lied to, threatened and accused is enough. I can't afford to do the solicitor thing as I don't have the cash to pay one and wouldn't be entitled to legal aid. I would like to give up POA but don't know how to do it other than pay a solicitor.
I should have taken more notice of incomes  and outcomes and what was being asked /used for.  Despite a pension and rent finances were permanently at a deficit and no saving available. 1k per month from a yearly income of 12k doesn't work if you have to budget for landlords insurance, maintenance etc. If you don't you haemoragh money - simples now I see it.
