flaxseed's Journal, 22 August 2011

This week appears as though its going to be a better week than the last, despite being quite cool with lots of showers. Its only August but there are signs that autumn is approaching fast. I'm managing to keep my eating well under control without much effort. Long may it last. Maybe its because I don't go out much and so temptation is kept to a minimum and funds are pretty low.

It seems really odd that I'm watching every penny when I've got more money than I ever dreamed of waiting in the wings. Solicitors grind exceedingly slow but the bills never stop. I've finally had the bill for replacing the hot water tank and I've had to have the woodburner overhauled as the backplate had come loose and slipped. The bills for Mom's house are still rolling in too. Thank goodness for credit cards!

I've had an invitation to a birthday bash on 17 September for OH's nephew. Its right on the south coast about 800 miles, but I've decided I'm going to go down to DD1 for a couple of days and then go on from there. I've booked a couple of days in a motel (more on the credit card!)so I can't back out and so far I'm looking forward to it. This will be my first OH family do and apart from the birthday boy I haven't seen or heard from any of them for about 12 months. It will be interesting to see how I am received and I definitely need to look my best :)

Peas are over but I had my first crop of beans on Sunday and they were very good. I don't think I'll get a huge crop because the weather will get too cold before they mature. Lifting the onions to dry out is next.

Keep smiling,balanced, focused and on track
