Dear Friends:

The bathroom sink is calling you! Let's shine our bathroom sinks and counter tops. Scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe down. Take time to wipe down your counter tops and give them a shine as well.

Your mission for your Stash and Dash space is to go back again to throw away anything that needs to be tossed or recycled. We are going back to do this again because now that we have peeled back one layer it is very possible that there is more to be tossed or another space to toss from.

Well the washing the sink bit is done and the hall floor cleaned (I was on a roll and its a tiny floor).

Must do some decluttering later.

Today I pick up my boy woop woop! But before I get mega excited I must make a list of stuff to do when out and about and use the petrol properly.

I know we need butter and milk and mutt food.

Must see what else.

Usual list will include

Banks
A bit of washing
A bit of picking a boy up
A bit of walking
A bit of mutt feeding and egg collecting and hen feeding.

So I'm sure there will be more.

Bit of a spendy day yesterday

Fuel 22
Coffee and snack at airport 15, parking 11 (yes extortionate) but the boy was hungry after a 35 hour journey.
Some bits dug fud, cheese, juice and coffee etc at discount store 8.75
Reduced bits later on when out £8.50

Boys home and flat hunting online and looking at stuff from the house to steal, nothing changes except this is his final year.

DD is looking at laptops and seems settled in her flat.

I'm working today and have work folks from ooop north staying the weekend and raiding my apple tree to take home and make chutney with. They also got a whole load of jars delivered here with free delivery.

They're good at DIY so we might get a gate in at the back of the garden in exchange for a car full of apples

All good. Hope you all have fun things planned for the weekend.

Dear Friends:

We are in the last day of Zone Three! Your mission in the bathroom is to mop the floor. Now, you can do this with some hot soapy water and a rag or mop. There is no perfect way to mop. Just get the floor wet, wipe it and dry it!

Your mission for the Stash and Dash space is to do a 27 fling boogie in the space. Grab 27 things to throw away, give away or put away! Now you have seen how you can work on these stash and dash spaces a few minutes at a time every day and make a difference.

Hey RT well done! I still don't get it but DS said, hey the house is nice and tidy isnt' it, where have you hidden it all..........:D cheeky monkey.

Nice weekend here. Visitors gone and nice 'touristy' time had by all. Apple tree is lighter but still looks laden.

Bit of a funny weekend with lots of discussions around food stuff (colleague staying was also LFHW)

Also a bit of discussions by DS and me about change in income/circumstances and spends now things can be afforded and how much they have/haven't changed. Whats good and whats different. He's funny he really makes me think about things. Clever boy.

I said something about not affording something the other day and DH said now that's not true. Which also lead to a discussion about means/affordability and choices.

Pondersome indeed.

Hope you're all good.

£22 petrol
£6 reduced grub yesterday
8 free pallets on reduced grub trip
Free cakes and ice-creams over weekend
Roast dinner leftovers boxed for lunches and carcass in freezer for later.
Soup made from reduced veg and ham hock frozen for lunches.
Left over brekkie frozen as breakfast rolls for in the week.
Free smoked cheese from up north.

All good.

Well RT was a bit inspired and I DO have a flight to some big hills to consider. So I wanted it clear first



And yup Orkney smoked, two packets and a big large block of Orkney mature.

I like folks who bring cheese. Its the same chum who sent me a parcel of reduced cheese finds at xmas :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

She's a keeper.:T

Although her telling me did I know that I could freeze cheese and if I grated it just use it straight from the freezer.

LOL - she use to be my lovely volunteer and now we job share. Good heart reminding me though of how to do it. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
