Money going the wrong way
Wow yesterday turned out to be a very expensive day!
Car £220, car tax disc £100, petrol £25, shopping £85, bills £50, paying for holiday accommodation in October £93 AND, now this bit wasn't 'essential, two tickets to see Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds at the Bournemouth Internationa Centre in December - it is supposed to be (excuse the pun) 'out of this world' so I'm really looking forward to it. I had suggested to Peter that we could use it as a sort of Birthday treat night out for him but he was less than impressed so I've dropped that idea. I can see his point I guess as it's my choice to go but the tickets are very expensive and I'm paying for him too so he seemed like a good idea at the time........... but, as he said, I wouldn't be impressed if he treated me to a trip to an Air Show that he wanted to see - point taken!
This morning Peter has gone to footie and I've been busy busy busy, I've sorted out a stack of paperwork, baked two huge apple pies (apples supplied courtesy of my parent's garden), hoovered, blanched a load of carrots and beans for the freezer (courtesy of parent's garden and our garden respectively), done two heaps of washing and generally tidied and cleaned around - housework is never ending!
Had a letter today confirming that we are now officially with our new mortgage company - hoorah! I always thought it must be a huge hassle to switch but it's been a breeze.
The weather here today is dry but very overcast so I don't feel guilty now for settling down to watch an airline disaster movie on the box. I think I've seen it before (the airline is running out of fuel) but it's quality chill out time so I don't mind.
Later i'm picking Peter up at the station and then we'll probably watch the X Factor and then a film I'd expect - a typical Saturday night for us (who says we don't know how to party - ha!).
