Well the remortgage is now done and finished and we are saving a tidy sum in monthly payments. This is a relief. Finances have been hard these last (almost) two years since my wife’s redundancy but we are still here.
We were feeling flush so bought ourselves new garden furniture set (after three years of deliberating) and a 40” Samsung HD Smart TV - the internet on the telly- whatever next. I have been watching You Tube videos of The Wedding Present latest gigs and the new songs. The TV is also 3D enabled. You can probably tell I am impressed by all this.
The wife is following this new diet The Dukan Diet. She is living on oat bran, yoghurt , cottage cheese and fish with the occasional lettuce leaf and bit of cucumber. Bizarre but she has lost half a stone in two weeks.
My daughter’s A level results were good ( A & two Cs) but not quite good enough for her first choice Uni or her insurance offer. So, a mixed bag of emotions in the house.
She has been offered places in Liverpool (Hope not John Moores) and Uni of East London but is reassessing what she wants out of further study. Looks like she might be staying at home for a while at least- I have ambivalent feelings about that.
The son is back in LDN after his German holiday-a week of which was in Majorca – but iwill be back home shortly before starting his year abroad in September.
A couple of Sundays ago the wife drove me to Blackpool to see Posh lose 2-1. Made up by Posh trashing Ipswich 7-1 on TV last weekend!
Music wise not much. I am listening to 6Music on the way to and from work. I am missing Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 2 during the evening. I don’t get to listen to their 6 Music afternoon show as I am at work – but just realised I can listen again on the iPlayer on the new TV!!!
Bank Holiday weekend and the sister and brother in law are up – so a mixture of drinking eating and arguing. And I have to fit in a 20 mile run
