I have just got back from work only to find my Adsense account has been suspended because my account has been hacked,not much info given but someone in a far off land has done something in my account.I have had to fill in a form and email it back to them.They may or may not reinstate the account irrelevant of who is to blame.
Oh well that's that bit of extra money out of the window.
Today started off badly as well.i arrived at my first job to find she had moved.....i got back in my car to ring her and left a voice mail.luckily she rang back and said she had text me, now if she had would i have travelled 4 miles to her house, i don't think so...new address has been given and I'm back cleaning her new house next week.
As you can probably gather from this post I'm a bit down in the dumps today,nothing seems to be going right at the moment,its one big up hill struggle.I keep having to remind myself that i am doing well and things will get better but its hard.OH hasn't brought home any money in well over 2 weeks the joys of being self employed.
The girls are coming over again tonight for tea and little one is staying tomorrow,we have to make the most of the time we have with them.
I'm going to take solice in the garden now and plant some grow bags up in my green house.
Hope your day is going better than mine
until later

Energy
As i have said many times before i try and i try to reduce my energy usage.I was very proud of DD yesterday as she said to her boyfriend he couldn't leave something charging all night as it was unnecessary and we would be paying for it.That all being said about how good im trying to be we are doing something wrong if these charts are anything to go by, just look at the difference from this year to last. I know last Spring was very warm and this one hasn't been but its still scares the life out of me how much has been used.
I have gone from a B rating down to a C rating.
the blue is Electricity,the red is Gas.
Today is DD last day in year 12 she goes on study leave after today as her AS2 exams start on Monday when all exams are finished she gets 2 weeks off then starts year 13 end of June.She is very stressed at the moment with all the work she has to do.
I read a lovely blog on Martin Lewis about a ladies debt free journey she writes brilliantly and everyone suggested she writes a book ,I had the privileged yesterday of reading the 1st few chapters she has written and it was brilliant,i hope she does continue and manages to finish her book.
Im struggling at the moment ,not as much money is coming in as i would like.OH hasn't been paid for what seems like an age.It just shows me how important it is for us to pay everything off because we can control our debts but we cant control the weather and that really is beyond are control.
have a great day

How does your garden grow
Well definitely not with silver bells.
I have just had a wonder up my garden to see how things are doing.I have lots more to plant but i have now run out of compost.
Normally by now i would have all my baskets and bags planted and would be moving them in and out of the greenhouse to harden them off, I have done 1.
These Busy Lizzie's were reduced to £1.05 in Tesco.i also have Petunias and more Busy Lizzie's to plant (when i have more compost)
Red Peppers i have planted 2 in a bag,quite a few more to go in.
My strawberries have a few flowers, hoping to start a few more plants off the runners so we get more than 1 strawberry each.
My lilac tree
has started to bloom,this is one of the only plants that was in the garden when we moved in.
Garlic,getting big,1st time i have grown garlic could some kind soul tell me when you harvest garlic.
Onions lots planted and more to go in.
Tomatoes
lots of these some will go in baskets, i have a few of the upside down hanging planters and the rest will go in growbags.My cucumber plants are doing well ,i think i have about 6 so hoping for lots of lovely homegrown cucumbers this year..
loads more things in conservatory and green house all waiting to go out.
So how is your garden growing?

The Cotswold's
I'm back from my night away in the Cotswold's...
I booked this earlier in the year when Travelodge had its £10 a night sale.We set off yesterday morning and headed straight for Bourton on the Water
a lovely little village with a stream running through it.The weather went from chilly to warm but it was dry yesterday.We wondered in and out of all the gift shops stopped and had a cream tea.Picked up a couple of things for my daughters 18th and 21st birthdays which are later this year.Its a lovely village and well worth a visit.
We left Bourton mid afternoon and drove to the Travelodge we were staying in,in Burford.
It was basic but clean and tidy and had everything we needed.(i took some pictures for you newgirly)
We walked into Burford
another lovely village looking for somewhere to eat but it was all a bit pricey so we browsed the gift shops and went back to pick the car up.We then drove to Witney
where we could get a meal and a drink for just over a fiver.
This morning after breakfast we headed for Stow on The Wold,it was pouring with rain and very cold so we didn't stop that long.
We had a lovely couple of days away and i would highly recommend taking advantage of Travelodge sales.
Now to catch up on what you have all done over the bank holiday.

Not much has happened lately which is kind of a good thing as life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately.
Eldest daughter came for dinner last night which was great,i get moaned at all the time for always having my camera out but the scene in the picture below is one that i longed for ,for the 2 years my daughter didn't visit her dad for.
Cant believe the weather by now all my hanging baskets would be made and hung out only to be put in the greenhouse if a frost was forecast.Going to plant some of my veg out tomorrow,it will be nice to declutter a bit.
Little ones are around for a while tomorrow will make the most of it whilst i can.
We are going to the Cotswold's on Sunday/Monday staying in our £10 a night Travelodge we booked a few months ago.I think Sunday is going to be dry but not Monday but it will be nice to have a change of scenery,Life has been a bit draining what with the stress and worry of the girls being moved and trying to clear debts.So its time to recharge my batteries.
Hope you are all well

PS Fostermummy i now blame you for my obsession with The Killing.I cant even do something whilst watching it because of reading the subtitles and the soap is looking great.

Shes home
DD 2 is home from her school trip to Somerset and she loved it.It was very flooded but it didn't rain much.
The flooding obviously wasn't good but its helped the trip as she was studying physical Geography and extreme weather is part of the course.
Its lovely to have her home.
DD1 had a hospital appointment today,lovely MIL took her for me as i had work.Ever since she was a toddler DD has had problems with her ears,she has 2 new eardrums made in 1 ear and 1 in the other.Even though they have been replaced she still gets loads of problems,they get blocked easily and she couldn't hear a thing.Her ears were cleaned and now everything is very loud for her,one comment she mad to me which made me laugh was she didn't realise how noisy pulling toilet roll could be.
Im off to catch up on my reading now
so until later

May Day
Today i spent an hour and a half queueing in traffic to do a 25 minute journey
.Lots of problems in my area with flooding and that was the cause today the road was completely flooded only passable with caution and by driving in the middle of the road.
You wouldn't believe that how it is now outside is the same way it started.
Little ones were over this evening,mum didn't even come to the door she sent the girls in on there own.I know she was probably worried i would say something to her.
DS is threating so much over the girls going he was awake from 3 am.Hes hoping that she will meet him half way with the girls,by halfway i mean journey then he will be able to bring them home.This would be Manchester 3 and half hours journey for us and 3 hour 20 for her.If she agrees this would be amazing ,it would mean my son and us could see them on a regular basis in our normal surroundings..
Well back to nicer things the girls ...we have had another lovely evening playing in the garden.
Lets hope we get the opportunity to do it lots more.
Until later
