We have to go see the mortgage advisor tomorrow at the Leeds we have been on a fixed term contract since buying the house three years a go this is now up for renewal and a new term to agree we have been fixed at nearly 6.5% for the last 36 months.Hopefully it will drop a decent amount and make life a lot easier , hopefully it will be a early Christmas present that we both benefit from for the nest few years to come.

Last few weeks i have still been able to work extra shifts . I have applied for a supervisors job vacancies which would mean a minimum of 45 hours a week one hour more than what i am currently doing , starting at two in the afternoon and finishing at ten in the evening which is only a hour later than my current evening shift , plus they would be a wage increase and sick benefits and pension would increase so all in all it would be a good promotion IF I GET IT.Stocked up on a case of Magners pear cider which was on offer eight bottles for seven quid we ran out of incense sticks and night lights , Helen did some card readings totalling four with another three to do next week .

Ebay i bought recently a white Breo watch a in car-charger for our i-phone's and a phone case for He lens i-phone .All for under a tenner . had to buy a new car battery for the freelander £93.00 Other purchased Skullcandy head phones lasted a few hours before they got trashed due to the wire getting mysteriously cut in a few places rendering them useless good job i only paid £12.99 for them 50% off from Hmv.

Got to decide what we are doing over Christmas dinner this year do we cook it ourselves or go out to eat at a rustic country pub or go to Helen in laws a toughie , advantages of cooking our own -

1.it will be cheaper.
2.wont involve any driving.
3.know we Will enjoy every mouthful.
4.free drinks.
5.can watch TV whilst eating.
6.can have 2nd and thirds.
7.cat and dog get to pig out too

disadvantages
1.have to prepare and cook it.
2.washing the dishes.
3.turkey rest of week .

so inlaws or Pub?

Guess that's decided then will eat out , out on the moors at a little country pub within about a 45minute drive of our house , unless it snows which will be another issue .

LISTENING TO JAMES - GREATEST HITS

Sunday lazy lazy Sunday well it was until i decided to go to Thruscross reservoir near Harrogate/Otley for an afternoon walk with Helen and Pip our little Jack Russell .about five miles from home realised we had forgotten pips lead , had to go back home i thought about buying a new one put finding a pet shop was pointless task so did a u-turn and went back home.
We finally got to our location and parked up and started the walk the first bit was nice and steady easy peasy stroll the the trail was littered with pine needles from the fir trees it was either muddy or hard going and in ways it was a bit like walking on a carpet , when we passed the mill ruin we came to a bridge to pass over the water , to get here took just under a hour it was around half past two the sun was out and it was a pleasant afternoon i thought we had completed one side of the reservoir , so we crossed over the bridge to come back to the car park .What we didn't realise at this point is that the three off us had completed less than a third of the walk as you can see from the map , which we only looked at when we got back home .From THIS POINT ON on it was muddier it was darker , it was up and down hills over fields and meadows and sty's it was twice as hard going on a few occasions we lost sight of the reservoir Helen was pissed off the dog was pissed off i was knackered my back and hip was playing up and aching terribly i had fallen down an embankment and to cap it all it was getting darker and colder bt he minute,over another hill and we saw the road going over the reservoir on which we drove on to the car park it was in the distance and guessing it was about another mile and a half away we made it back to the car i was in that much agony Helen didn't want me to go to work on the Monday , we got home Pip slept from getting home at half past six till the following morning , i did get up the following morning and did go to work , next time will look at the maps and distance we are walking we covered seven miles on our trek Helen has vowed never to go back to Thruscross reservoir again.

Today we went back to the Trafford centre Manchester to pay the balance on He lens engagement ring , And of course to get engaged on the 5th November Bought from HMV a gear4 smart dock reduced from £99.99 to £39.99 with a built in FM radio remote control and equalizer with i phone app to turn it in to an alarm clock so pretty chuffed at the price and quality.

evening went to the Leeds Cathedral in Leeds city centre it was the Filipino yearly mass we was invited by my co worker i clean operating theatres with on a evening , to sample the the local cuisine and dishes cooked by him and his Friends very good very nice a very empty plate , After we called at Helen's parents house to tell them we was engaged and to show them the ring we had got a few hours earlier , we ended up playing the card game whot and playing domino's before going home.

Thinking is it possible to go back to the Trafford shopping centre Manchester to pay the remainder off on Helen's engagement ring so we can get engaged on bonfire night , that way we can never forget the date and they will be fireworks on every anniversary , I have tomorrow but if can't then there is always Saturday i will have to see if I can stretch my money to cover the remanding balance if not there is always Cash Converter's my laptop and camera on the buy back option would raise me the £200 I need.I could even buy a cheap ring get engaged then once we get the diamond ring from the jewellers swap them problem solved.
