Raffles, who in tests, does not prefer Whiskas, purchased at grave expense, has decided he will get his out tucker.


The bird populace has been reduced by two.

5. The leak we thought we had in conservatory roof has hopefully turned out not to be a leak and was just our stupidity of leaving the roof window slightly open

1. Had to make a frittata after dropping the turkey egg box.
2. Chatted with one set of neighbours which was lovely get on well with them as they match our sarcasm, as for the other set of neighbours their fence fell apart, and we put it back into their garden, it’s enough to say that they refuse to speak English to us, but have perfectly bad French to yell at their children each day.
3. DH worked on the car all afternoon finding and touch wood hopefully locating oil leak and maintenance, I think we will need to look for another car next month, the only
4. Enjoying the slightly wild weather.
5. Properly emptied out the bathroom, it was long long overdue, I was also going to do the office and clothes but didn’t
6. DH and I sat together and watched a movie rather than having it on in the background while doing other things.
7. Deep clean for towels, the actual washing machine and any other things that needed doing.
8. I’m looking forward to tomorrow, I’m not working and my plans are to look for throw out plants and pop over the bridge for some bits and pieces armed with vouchers.

Morning!

Couldn't sleep.

OS Pleasured for yesterday.

1. Craft Festival with friend. Could have spent a fortune, but agreed we have too many unfinished projects at home! Limited ourselves to one project each and gained some much needed inspiration! Both only spent about £5.

2. Pledged to finishing unfinished projects. Find out about craft groups and Knitting and Natter groups to focus our efforts.

3. Back in time to go to Boots to use up vouchers. Found two lip stains reduced from £9 to £5 each, so paid £4 with vouchers!

4. Dinner of turkey legs in cranberry sauce from the slow cooker. DS2 was not keen but.......

5. Trip to cinema to see 'Guardians of the Galaxy' using Sweet Sundays vouchers. (Been buying sweeties with wombles, and we get to eat the sweeties, so bargain!). We all really enjoyed the film.

Hoping to continue the declutter, tidy and pack for hols. If I can do some school work too, I may sleep better tonight!

Have a great day. HE x

Ooh just a word to the wise - i did this once with out of date suet (not vegetable), and had to chuck the whole lot as it went rancid. Better to chuck a few packs of suet than all that lovely fruit.

Yikes.Yes,I might reconsider...

Interpretations provided for marmite, if requested.

Peeps in fridge to find out of date items. Oh look, there is the butter. 4 months past its punter buy a new one date. And the mint. Two years beyond its intended life. The salt, is undated. I will check the sugar loaf later .Shepard’s pie of lambed mince, lip stain. New? Frith. Look how many moor times do mI has to tell you. It is PORAGE. Look at the pack with the man in a kilt! DD makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. Trips to the tip. Oh no, DfV out of sink.

5 Book your ogle boxes for the film of the week. BBC 2 Saturday, and set your clocks for the Sparra Time. Early morning, catch the worms! 6:05 Blackbeard the Pirate. The film is 100% true. And is a better watch than the normal non schedule of 7:00 Cerebral read my new book infest. 8:00 Wannabe Dancer roundup 8:30 Cook off against the clock. BoPsie already has the pop corn in for this one! Attendance is compulsory, because on Sunday, I shall be asking questions!

4 Yesterday’s shopping came in a £15.76 pence. And we got a treat of Apple Tarts as well. Salad, mushrooms, for curry. Pork pie. Cheese and milks. As BoPsie has been good this month with the W8Rz offers, we needed no juice this week.

3 Raffles is still refusing Whiskas. It is now a battle of will. There are 8 sachets left. And 4 days till pay day! The local vermin, newts, Great Crested variety (unprotected from Raffles!), are endangered. Currently the feather count is low.

2 As we did a tight game of live Scrabble on Friday, which of curse BoP won to prevent BoPsie from getting within one of two on the pounce, I rather protected you from the drubbing BoPsie got last evening. 430 vs 211. Two seven letterers, EYEPATCH and NESTING. Her LIQouR was removed, even though she had used the blanks for ou, was removed as it was not found in the Chambers Official Scrabble Words Book. My ID was laid last to use all my tiles. Lve Scrabble will resume again shortly. Then BoPsie finished me off with a classic, Rex Harrison. The Constant Husband.. Cannot say it was true as it was filmed in Colour.

1 I paid for this ...

I can’t help wondering where chickenopilis went from 2 posts a day to nothing, hope you keep a virtual eye on here chuck.

I’ve decided to get back in touch with my mse ways they are never far away, I’ve been prompted from our Wales visit where we ate a lot more “from the land” and the fact that my handover will finish Sept / Oct so any extra saved is a bonus while I have the chance. DH is like me and like’s a full freezer as we have a good few years ago had to live from it, it’s a comfort factor. I am hoping to forage a little for blackberries to make up some deserts. “I’m also contemplating (inspired by a JackieO post) a 2 to 4 week no spend from mid-September. I’ve also been through and updated and printed off coupons for item’s I would shop for and a free salad, I also have some “free” samples being posted.

1.Today I took boxed up 100 books, I wanted to take them to a “books for free” place but I couldn’t find one within a feasible distance, I have to be honest with the amount of stuff I am clearing I could open my own shop so now I have boxes as clutter rather than books???
2. I went to a use by date shop but it had swapped hands and it just wasn’t anymore, Poundland find today latest pot of Clearasil pads, bought a couple of paint brushes for impending garden fence painting. Costco was a big spend as we bulk bought animal cleaning wipes on voucher discount and bought a few business bits for DH as he’s picked up a bit of freelance paid work from visiting Dad and fixing things up. In my look outs I didn’t find any cheap plants thou.
3. Looking at some of the super moon photo’s, it didn’t look much different this end, the best moon I have ever seen is the harvest moon setting it was stunning and seemed to take the entire sky.
4. The animals are having fun running in and out of the showers and telling me all about it.
5. Its late and I haven’t made tea yet, I am going to do a fakeaway chicken fillet in bun with salad and hm chips we may not eat until very late but not actually that hungry recently.

I have my sights set on some ripe blackberrys tomorrow there’s a catch it means I have to climb a ladder to get over the garden wall and then another small catch getting back again, I don’t do those sorts of small heights!!!
