    Aw good meal idea there :) thanks RT

    Beanie I slowed down and did some logs for 15 mins :) I try and do some each day (and put the harder ones to the side for the boys who come visit and like to show off, I'm not daft) I like to chop easy logs :)

    Quick walk el muttlets and then back to the grind.

    Flatbread and tomato I think.

    Had boiled eggs for brekkie

    lol - it was yum;) 'cept we've run out of onions, so a piddly little shallot was sacrificed - and the cheese has been laid claim to by OH so used some leftover lentil/beetroot salad instead - thanks for the lunch reminder!:rotfl:

    (happy to report that last week's egg rations were free-range - and also cheapest atm - sold in lots of 15 - can you figure that one out?)

    Report is done. Hooray.

    Meeting moved from morning to 4pm - not so hooray. Its nice here.

    However, its all pennies.

    No eggs, in case you were wondering.

    :(

    Have texted chum about meeting up late tomorrow
    Have texted chum (diff) about NOT meeting up on Thurs (more work)
    Have messaged OH about picking up a bag of cheap tatties 25kg/£3 on way home which also means he'll have to leave on time for once.

    :)

    Write invoice and expenses, print and post.

    Cuppa and then meeting then I'm so going outside.

    Well, one egg.

    As I said to the hounds, none of us could do any better so we can't really complain.

    Tea from the stores. Meatballs and rice (turkey)
    Made a huge spag bog for the weekend. (reduced mince and veg :))
    Boys lunches secured and bagged largely from leftovers and aldi super six :)

    Reduced shopping a bit pants.
    30p huge cooked sausage
    53p for a cabbage.

    No reduced bread. What on earth is the world coming to?

    TRG paid for the shopping so that's 83p which aint out of my budget :) so technically my day has been a NSD.

    *Technically*

    :D

    Walked hounds at local harbour/beaches free exercise.

    All good.

    Mowers been paid and my bank account is in the black (temporarily).

    I've not seen it in that colour much.

    Might need a wee lie down.

    Night night folks.

    OK so given yesterdays funny meetings, and long day waiting for folks, I'm planning on a half day today.

    Remind me I said that.

    Chooks fed and seem happy enough (still not many feathers but some combs looking a bit perkier if I'm not mistaken).
    Hounds moved from bed to sofa - progress.
    Quite alot to do today and a sofa (bed) getting delivered

    Must get a wriggle on. Nice day here today - how about you guys?
