The bed room/bathe room have been sorted simply in time for me to unseal the cabinet and discover the Halloween bits so as to add to the October show shelf.
The cats come out
The bats come out
The pumpkins come out, too
The treats come out
The ghosts come out
It is Halloween………BOO!
********************************
New heating oil tank, new en-suite, new flooring for en-suite and bed room………..That is a bit of my down-sizing financial savings gone in a single month.
There will probably be one other invoice later once they put the skin door into the previous en-suite to show it right into a freezer/retailer room subsequent month and once I purchase 800 litres of heating oil. Though the additional authorities ‘assist with heating prices’ fee will assist in the direction of that.
I must do No Spend November……………….however I strive it yearly (it is even there within the Labels) – and by no means succeed. It is not meant to be completely NO spend – meals wants shopping for, payments want paying and direct debits occur – however spending on as few days as doable and no extras. Though my ‘guidelines’ say spending on Christmas is allowed in order to not depart all of the Christmas current procuring worries till December. Possibly I will not even trouble to do this yr.
However away from massive bills it has been a beautiful month with gentle and largely wonderful climate and I’ve completed all types of issues together with
- Going to Eldest Granddaughter’s sixth birthday celebration. Visited her once more in half time period and seen the closest two grandchildren a few instances.
- I began slicing the horrible Yew hedge out the entrance till the wire pulled out of the connection on the hedge cutter so it is now at Brother-in-Legal guidelines home awaiting a little bit of re-wiring.
- Joined a brand new free course of train and wellbeing for over 60’s.
- Helped within the kitchen with the Soup and Puds fundraiser at WI.(61 individuals booked in, they get a smooth drink, a selection of three hand-crafted soups with a bread roll, adopted by a selection of 9 hand-crafted deserts adopted by tea/espresso all for £8. Thank heavens Bacton village corridor has a excessive pace sizzling steam dishwasher!)
-
Proper prepared for 61 guests - Drove down the A12 to the Huge charity e-book sale
- Been to a number of car-boot gross sales
- Re-organised some furnishings and cleared out a bag of issues for the charity store
All was going effectively till the boiler refused to change on on the weekend – Heating engineer wanted AGAIN. Assume this boiler is garbage, and it isn’t even very previous, as a result of within the 18 months I have been right here it is had issues 5 instances.
November appears to be a very good month, lots to maintain me occupied – Books to learn, extra NCIS to observe, Firework night time, extra of the train/wellbeing group, 2 WI conferences, there’s a few espresso mornings and craft gross sales to go to after which Christmas Fayres begin on the finish of the month…………………..and I’ve discovered two occasions with free espresso and cake……….I will be there!
