    Day off today :) Very very spendy day - hairdressers this morning for the last time before they close down :( Mr M delivery, Aldi fresh stuff shop, lunch out, eyebrow wax and tint plus Wilko shop for cheap mugs for builders to use.

    This weekend will be all about finishing clearing the kitchen and bathroom ready for Monday.

    Kitchen more or less all packed away now. Skip was meant to go Friday or today - still here!! Rang them they reckoned they knew nothing about it, so now going Monday - told them builders skip coming Monday - so annoying.

    Sofa has gone thankfully, at least the charity turned up if skip people didn't. We had a right ordeal getting it out of the house, total nightmare.

    Fantastic weather today, sat in garden all afternoon. DS brought grandkids, they had a great time playing in sand pit.

    Only spent 70p today on local paper.

    Tomorrow need to finish last bit of kitchen emptying then do bathroom.

    Can't wait for it all to be finished.

    Sounds great, apart from the skip not being picked up when you wanted...

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    No they won't charge us, we had it on 10 day hire and wanted them to pick up early.

    Weather hot and sunny already, can't believe it was light at 3am! Not complaining though. Just a few more bits of clearing then will be outside in that gorgeous sunshine.

    Need to look at finances, can't really menu plan as don't know what cooking facilities we'll have from day to day, will have to play it by ear.
