we found the lake !

quite by accident - but when we first reserved our house back in July, Karen the Sales Woman said there is a nice lake to cycle round, or walk the dog round etc - well we found it today, went for a walk and stumbled across it really.

THEN we put the new wardrobes together. I didn't expect the wardrobes to be much from Argos - it was a three door robe and one of the 'reviews' on this wardrobe said 'try as I might I could not get the doors to match up......................WE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME TROUBLE AND we couldn't get the back matched up either - obviously completely out of true - they look 'complete and utter pants'! BUT it;'s a wardrobe. So now we have to search out some wardrobes for Korin too - and NEXT year when we have the extra money we can have some nice wardrobes built in to that top 'dressing' room - as it is this month sees us pay the LAST rental payment for Cupronickel.......................£750 for absolutely nothing. JUST hope we get our £800 holding deposit back which will be some kind of compensation. FINGERS CROSSED.

We still have to go up to the rented to get the place clean - and put the two chairs 'out' for the bin men. We HAVE to get a shed errected here and the 'extra's which are at the rented into our shed before 23rd February, so we have ABOUT A MONTH. The last month has flown by, so we had better get our skates on.

Thinking of having 3 days off week after next so we can get curtain poles up and blinds up and the like....................we just don't seem to have much time for anything these days.

Good news that I got my child benefit reinstated, didn't realise that it had actually stopped and when I rang to change my address they notified me that it had stopped and they backdated payment and that went into my bank on Friday, I AM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED BY THE CHILD BENEFIT PEOPLE. I am going to SPEND half of that EVERY MONTH COMPLETElY AND UTTERLY ON MYSELF. I'm not selfish, all my salary goes into the house - I think both Key and I should START to spend something on ourselves - HE can have the OTHER HALF.

It was nice to go pick Keir and Olivia up for shopping yesterday. I gave them twenty quid, poor things !!! I'd love to win the lottery and see them OK, See Koz OK, See a few friends OK. Dream on.

I gave Koz her driving lesson money too - AND paid for her application to Uni - it's going to be an expensive expensive expensive time.

Back at work tomorrow....................say no more, it's not too bad tomorrow because I'm on my own. DREAD Tuesday unles God can work some more magic for me. THAT'd be real nice.

Not in the mood at all for crafting? Think I have too much on my mind from everything else.
