I've actually sat outside in the sun and had a cuppa :j
It's really windy but it was great to be enjoying the sun.
Washing flapping on the line
Coats chucked in the machine to take advantage of the windy day to dry them on the line.
Goodness doesn't a bit of sun make a difference

It's here abouttimetoo! We've had balmy summer weather all day in the Garden of England. Walked to the pub and had lunch in the beer garden whilst wearing our t-shirts then got back and sat in the garden having tea and cake until 6 pm. That may have been the summer - and you all missed it

What a beautiful, glorious day. Was windy at times but being able to spend time outside in the sun was fab.
I'll catch up with posts tomorrow as I am well and truly bushed.
I feel as though we have broken the back of some jobs we needed to do - garage sorting still on the list as are the fridges. I wasn't going to miss being outside.
Watching the washing billowing on the line was good for the soul.
Still something at the back of my mind which I can't grab hold of - hopefully this will come to the forefront.

It sounds like wherever possible we've all taken advantage of the glorious day yesterday, which was in stark contrast to Saturday.
I've OPd a further £80 which is left over from grocery budget and no further shopping needed this week. As I'm paid at the end of this week the pot will be topped back up.
15p check ins with £co on Saturday
All washing dried outside and no TD used
I want to sit down this week and understand the RM charges for posting, to understand whether to continue eb@y selling or not. We had already put more for collect in person, so I am guessing that this may become more common in the future.
I wonder what delights work has in store this week?

Hope work isn't too hectic for ya!0 -
