Actually, I have approx. 3000 sq ft of exposed dirt to cover with a 3-4" depth -- for the winter. Did I mention that the juniper bushes were VERY overgrown? Trimming them back exposed a heck of a lot of dirt that I want to keep in place until spring.

20 pound landscaping bales.

I hope so. We've been going through the Family Thing for almost two and a half years now and it's hard, I can't imagine 10 years.

Good luck!

On Friday I always check my bank account if everything is as it should be. Today I saw that there was €100 more on it than I expected. After clicking on the details it only tells me my bank transferred €100 to my account with the description "correction miscellaneous costs". I did a search on both the banks' website and a Google search, but I haven't found out what it exactly means. I send an email asking what "correction miscellaneous costs" means and if it was a correct transfer. I just want to be sure before spending the money

.

An extra €100 would be nice, though. It has been an expensive month. I would pay half of the costs of renting a cottage in January.

thanks!

it's not family. I think I've been pretty careful about avoiding saying who it is. I'll share later. it's an entity not a person. yeah, it's been harrowing

no one in Dallas?

Nope I am 300 miles west.

Rumpelteazer · 11-08-2015, 03:54 AM

The €100 deposited into my bank account by the bank is, as expected, a mistake. They mailed me back that they are aware of the problem and will send a message to me when they have figured out a solution.

Meanwhile I'm enjoying the quietness. No (jack)hammering, drilling, scaffolding building or tree cutting.

Well, for the inconvenience and potential problems it could have caused you, I think that they should give you €100 compensation.

I wish! I wonder how many people contacted the bank about the transfer and how many used up the money.

I expect the money will disappear from my account tomorrow and the bank will never send a message explaining.

Preparing to spread the final bales of pine straw .... it has FINALLY stopped raining .... for one day only it seems ...

Rumpelteazer · 11-10-2015, 12:21 PM

The bin with my stamps and dies was not only getting too small, but also very messy because of all the different sizes of packaging. Last week I ordered a fridge/pantry bin and bags for stamps and dies that fit in that bin.

This morning, before work, I cut paper inserts for the bags and now I'm putting in the dies, stamps and sets and labelling the bags. Hopefully it'll be easier to find things. I ordered two packs of 25 bags, but it might not be enough, so I'll have to order more later this week.
