morning. I thought I’d posted earlier in the weekend but apparently not.
jve been very lax with posting life has seemingly gone crazy here again.
this past week hasn’t been too bad soends wise £20 ds’ annual bus pass is the biggie I think.
it was my birthday yesterday and I was given some lovely things. Very spoiled.
this week I have to do our house insurance renewal - probably around £450.
and pay our annual rates bill £463 (a bit like council tax in the Uk I suppose). It’s based on the sq ft of the house/amount of rooms etc. some bizarre calculation like that it also includes the garage garden and parking spaces. Wierd.
I also have to pay our £5 fine for not doing our “branchage” properly. Ie for not making sure that the tree at the front of our house was at the right height to overlap the pavement. Twice a year representatives from the government come round and measure over lapping trees and hedges etc.
if you don’t do it properly you get £5 fine. And then it gets done for you.
DH is in Luxembourg this week. He only told me yesterday. Ffs. Apparently it’s been in the calendar for a while (true) but it was in there from 19 sept - when he was meant to initially go. He had told me that trip had been cancelled but not told me that it had been rescheduled. so I’m home alone with the kids.
