Man its 'dreich' here.

*wet/damp/miserable/grey

Spent on some fish from the fishmongers (£6.05)
Spent on some hair slobber to keep me 'bru coloured BOGOF (£4)
Spent on a pair of shoes (flat red, leather) for my interview (£4)
Got a book called 'Lobster and chips' all things potato and fish related. £1 charity shop

Got bought a coffee in town

Stacked the logs on yesterday's list and have cleaned the kitchen/started to put stuff on the shelves.

Fire (s) are on its just miserable. The three loads on the washing line are getting a free rinse.

Reduced chicken for tea as the visitors are turning up tonight not tomorrow as I'd thought, then again I'm a space cadet.

Bed linen aired etc just wish the rain would abait so we can plan tomorrow but forecast is looking good.

6 eggs again today bringing the total to just under 180 I think

TRG is practising a song. Has anyone ever been in close proximity to a musician practising. You do get quite familiar with the song........

Book, fire on, bit of a sit down before the chaos.

Enjoy your saturday evening folks.

£12.05/165 grocery's for when I forget to update.

hair...food...eggs... rain...



seems to be a theme that happened here as well...

• haircut this morning (planned spend) - necessary evil for work - i'd emulate rampunzel given the option!
• will colour it monday (day off) - dye is in homestocks from the last bogof - banishing the grey, once again for work
• trip to the farm shop - some bargain veg - mega huge cauli & some other bits - all local :j - a bogof on free range eggs - £1.50 for a dozen - nectarines 4/£1 - and OH's fav 'slices' 6/£2 - and a free 'sample' of lemon curd! - amazing how much we come home with for a tenner when we go there!
• and the weather gods can't decide if it's sunning or raining! - at least the grass and plants are happy - and the birds, who are having a worm feast!

Have a fabby time with your visitors! & enjoy your roast dinner!

Aha, I too know well the joy of being in close proximity to a musician practicing a song. You do indeed get VERY familiar with said song - possibly to the point where you know it better than they do. I recommend stepping into a large imaginary bubble and venturing out only when necessary

Hi Pips, Yay to red leather shoes for £4 :j can I ask were they charity shop ones? I'd love some red leather flats but the only ones I've seen were extremely expensive :shocked: so I'll have to go without. Mucho luck with the interview. Sounds right up your street....

It's a funny old day here, it doesn't know whether to rain or shine but it's drying my washing beautifully (basket now empty :T) but I have a headache....could it be the weather?? Cuppa and some painkillers calling methinks....

See you later x
