Also need to sort finances - have told the union I'm unemployed so they're suspending my subs, and cancelled gym membership... still transferring bank stuff to an alternative account...

Have to do a bit of this too.
Am planning to spread the (little) money about a bit.
Gonna open an account with Tridos at some point.
Waiting till we move to save hassle though

I am thinking this too.
Have many, many chores backed up.

So far I am thinking:

Wash up
Do load of washing
Take rubbish out
Take recycling out
Pack up a big bag for the charity shop
Bag up all coppers and change
Pick up my parcel from the post office
Take charity bag to Barnardos
Pop to Tesco and run the coins through their machine
Get some bread, milk, washing powder and something for dinner
Start clearing out some cupboards
Make dinner

That all sounds like more effort than going to work. :eek:

That looks good but I'm stuck with my existing accounts - nobody will take me as a new customer because of my credit rating :( Luckily I've got an old account with Nationwide (from the 80s!) which is somehow still active, so I'm transferring all payments across to it from my Lloyds account, which is linked to an unpaid credit card. Once I've extracted myself from the bank's grip on my finances I'll let them know I'm out of work and they need to set up a payment plan for the credit card.

And there was £13.02p balance still in the old account - get in! :D

Oh......YES!!!

This weekend we have a fair bit to do round the place so will swing by and take them off your hands at some point if that is cool? My dad dug us out a load more crates (of all shapes and sizes) but we have no big crates/boxes.

Bloody lethal on the side roads/pavements
Nice stroll to the shop though and did a good deed :)

I was slipping all over the shop even in my walking boots but saw a guy who was blind walking along with a stick!!!! Fucking madman and was in his 50/60s I would guess. I was not in any rush so shot over the road to see if I could help him. Turned out he only lived twenty yards away and was pretty freaked. Turns out he was just walking to Tesco to get milk and a Cornish pasty!!! So I marched him home, strolled up to Tesco and got him his goods and delivered them to him. Daft git wanted to give me a fiver for my 'effort' which entailed a 10 minute round trip. Nice chap and feel like the day has been useful now.

:)

have to decide by tomorrow, whether to go to norfolk or not, i'm off tomorrow anyway, if it isn't feasible, I'll be back at work on Monday, when i should be sitting near a log fire, drinking wine :mad:

<shakes fist at the weather>
 
Okay, phase two is underway...

Washed up, bagged up recycling and got a solid amount for the charity shop.
Donating all the clothes that I simply never wear.
Looking at my remaining wardrobe makes me realise what a boring fucker I am when it comes to clothes!!
 
Had a sleep and been downstairs for food and tea. Now back in bed, still feeling rotten but am warm and cosy and happy with that :):cool:
 
Just applied for a balance transfer on my credit card

Wonder if the fact I've only been working for this company since October will affect the outcome? It is a virgin one, and I have been with them for years at home...:confused:
 
I'm meant to see the DSS tomorrow to sign on and have an inevitably tedious 'Back To Work' session. :(

But right now the buses aren't running because of the snow and don't look like they will be tomorrow either. With Xmas New year and now the snow I'll have gone two months without setting foot in a JobCentre by the time I sign on next. :D
 
We seem to have a pooing ghost in the building. The bloke's bog stinks, and yet no-one's been near it for the last few hours. :confused:

Also, the website I was using seems to have crashed, which is going to be my excuse to go home and do some writing. :cool:
 
I've just put a holding fee on a new house, freeze no more shall I!

Its in a bit of a rougher area (well, at the moment I'm in a postcard village full of yokels) but the folk seem ok and the house is much bigger and normaller compared to my little cottage, but hey, normality beckons and who am I to deny its inevitable hold over me. 3 beds as well, well, 2 beds and a studio :cool: I painted the fucking basement floor last night trying to spray a simple rose outline, spent the next 30 mins fucking it up and trying to get back where I started from, which I did and it WASNT EVEN AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TIME ffs I know you dont need to hear this shit BUT IT PISSED ME RIGHT OFF :mad:
 
I care marty! I care! :(

Are the roads just all looking a bit too shit to travel?


And yay to a new pad yets! :cool:
 
boo! :mad:

will you go into work and take the time off another time, or sit at home in your pants instead?
