No not the actual heating but the fact that it was put on . The Biggles came in with the weeny one before me and felt cold so the heating went on. It is off now so only about three hours damage done. It will be on again tomorrow for a little bit as the B doesn't like the cold and will be on again over the weekend most likely. Oh well at least I wasnt the guilty one!
Weeny and he had fish and chips. they will be eating pizza tomorrow night with garlic bread as I have a late night - do the job till its done night at work.
I had a cheese sandwich and some banana cake for tea. Suits me can't beat bread and cheese.
Night all a warmed up bed is a calling.
PS Sold a few more bits on Ebay - another thirty quid! Not bad eh! So about sixty in total so far. May be squeeze about 100 in the end. With enviro clothes, gold sale and vouchers Weeny has a christmas! B doing all the grub which is lovely of him. I am rejecting all presents bar for weeny and shall refuse to open them if he does buy any. He has been warned. I am not buying a bean for anyone bar the weeny. Hmph! SO there.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr Cold!! and how much do I hate Liz Jones!
Wrapped up - in bed with the walking talking hot water bottle. Austerity measures and body heat is free. Shopped for £26 today. Got a few bargains - best being two breaded plaice fillets for 29p! In the freezer - I like yellow stickers.
I built up the cot and the crib to check that I had all the bolts - easier than I thought as bolts were all mixed up - another job done, Ebay parcel sent off.
over all reasonalbly productive.
Heard that one of the biggest employers in the county Alcan Rio Tinto who employ 650 people are hot footing to cheaper climes. Rio Tinto - power station and aluminium smelting works. Power station may have a buyer but not the smelter. Thats alot of people and a lot of breadwinners who will be out of a job imminently. Basically yes we still need aluminium but its not profitable enough to make in this country due to the environmental regulations so Rio Tinto is hot footing it to somewhere cheaper to make just as much pollution but not make amends for it. Its just not profitable enough! Profit profit! Who does this keep in quails eggs and caviiar??? Not the smelters or engineers who work on the shop floor. Their wages keep food in mouths and roofs over heads. Greed and profit don't ys just love big business????? Bugger the environment and sod the little people- rich shareholders who want another holiday villa/chateau rule. So many families effected and where will they get jobs for the same salary???? Not locally thats for sure.
Liz sodding Jones ala Daily Mail - she generally annoys me and I find her whinny self indulgent vacuous and I have an urge to throw cow dung at her. What is the point of this women??? Thank God she stays within the confines of the Daily Mail and only ventures out on to our screens/other papers sporadically.

Broke my ebay cherry as a seller!
Am finally with the programme adb have made £28 already - am liking this muchly! I wait with baited breath to see what follows.....
Will car boot if they do not sell with a few other things but hopefully....
B and I got a bit sad about the selling of the baby equipment but we know its a shot inthe dark and I cannot afford to store or move them with me on the off chance. Its all good stuff- some thingswhen I had money I didn't scrimp on, thinking they would get much use and at least a second outing oh well.
We are ok and waiting and seeing how the long distance and the move thing works out.

Not a bad journey to drop off Weeny when I pass this every day just the rest of the A1 that stinks!
Mid October!
Spent the day after swimming sorting through cupboards - we have the enviro clothes pile, the car boot pile and the eBay pile. I have also looked out gold to sell.
I have given Weeny's cot to a friend I could have sold it but it meant alot to me so I gave it to someone who would appreciate it.
I have £15 in survey vouchers put to one side. Hopefully these combined with the selling endeavours should cover Christmas for weeny girl. I shall not be purchasing anything other than for weeny for Christmas. I shall not be sending cards or presents to anyone. Tough boobies! Others should understand that there will be no coffers left over after moving and I will not do unnecessary debt.
Putting hopes and dreams to rest and its ok..... Not just the financial ones but the personal also. Clearing out stuff like cots today was not as bad as I thought it would be. Time is up for me. Weeny is my only focus now.
Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We looked out our ghosty stuff. Alnwick has some activities on over Halloween weekend - spooky bus rides on an old dreadnought bus around the town, t(he castle and town can be rather spooky), stories in Barter Books - a massive second hand book shop in the old disused station and a competition for best witch and wizard in the market square. We had a trial run to day with the outfits which inspired weeny to watch Shrek 3 ( has lots of witches in it) and Harry Potter 1. She wanted to sleep in her witch outfit.. ahhhhh bless. All the activities we are doing are free btw which is ace.
We had curry - homemade and left enough to freeze for mummy's lunch next week. The thermostat is showing 16.5 degrees,Heating is set for 15 which I think is a little high. Only when it drops below 13 degrees do I feel can I justify heating. Both of us manage fine with blankets and cardies at the moment.
We also harvested our paltry carrot crop - rubbish but fun to exhume!!
Biggles doing a 22 mile walk with some military buddies dressed as a woman, all for charity. He will spend the weekend very very inebriated. Been a bit distant from B recently. Am finding it difficult to see a future... maybe this will pass. I just do not see a time when we can be together or when I will have the funds to be able to visit him. He will be away for minimum of two years then who knows where. I need to make my debt a priority then look at ways to become more financially secure for weeny..... I don't see how 'we' him and I fit into each others life plan anymore long term. Sigh hopefully this will pass. Weeny adores him. She will miss him terribly when he goes to London and I really don't know how I would handle it with her if he was not going to be part of our lives anymore.
Not making decisions just struggling with 'us' at the moment, what that means given me being absolutely totally 100% broke for the foreseeable future. He knows something is up - I turned down the walk today( civvies allowed) and also have made excuses about him staying over when he normally would have. Needed some thinking time.

So they came back with 86k. I am taking it an drunning. Will still accrue debt to the tune of approx 2k. It may get worse and I cannot take that risk. At least I can leave with my credit rating intact and the possibility of another mortgage in the future..... probably not but hey whats wrong with housing association????
Well some of them.....
I am downabout the loss of money and time with weeny girl. I coudl have opted for part time work and mothered her full time rather than three hours a day which is the approx amount of time I spend with her each work day.
I have put most of my goals away accepting that they are not I to be. Not as if I wanted to clinb everest like.....house owning of some sort, re training, more than one weeny, financial investment and security etc etc
I can do nothing till I clear the extra debt I shall accrue from selling and moving, solicitors, short fall etc etc.
We are swimming tomorrow morning then I have a plumber making an appearance to remove taps and sillicone the bath - no more weeny girl overflows or splashes and the downstairs ceiling should hold till I sell.
I have a survey of the house on 24th = am hoping it does not show any faults or bring the price down at all.
I have completed my social housing applications and hope these turn up something soon. renting privately is not great and expensive. I may enquire about any empty houses on the college agricultural site estate.
Am clearing out clutter tomorrow as well - what is to be sold, booted, ebayed etc, enviroclothes..... Shoudl have quite a bit to get rid of.
Eeek

Have extended the mortgage till I am 75... sigh. reduced mortgage payments by 80 so that helps a bit. Will change estate agents and remarket on 13th December. Maybe buyers will stick around.
Who knows.............. in the meantime its frugal frugal. I already feed and clothe us both for 160 pcm.
I think bugger it - will work term time when I move into social housing. Oneday willhappen at least then I can look after weeny girl properly rather than chuck her out to daycare. Thats the annoying bit - the lost time all for nothing, no security no investment, no option of starting again.
heating - have not had th eheating on so far and plan to keep going as long as possible. blankets it is!!1
