Oh bless you!
I hope I can paint tomorrow. I have given the garden a quick watering. I spent £2 on junk food and ate the lot. I was supposed to go on the cross trainer but I ate so I have something to burn off tomorrow:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
The lady has just been to visit. I need a gas safety certificate but she loves the house and says I will be fine. They have to do a DRB check too. I already have one but they have to do it again as they are a new employer. I should be having students aged 18-25. It is quite exciting.
My friend should hear about the terms of his redundancy payoff today. I hope it is ok.
I painted my garden table, did a clothes wash, and walked to supermarket bought loads of fruit and took a taxi back - cost was £29 in total.
My fleabay parcels arrived and my new red posh coat fits beautifully so I am selling the other two. The red shoes look great and fit!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will also sell my Ladybird Book collection to see what I can make. I also have some garden compost bins I might be able to sell so I will see if they are in a sellable state. I will work on photos and adverts tomorrow and post them at the weekend.
All in all, it's been a good day.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
That's really good news about the student letting SW, it sounds really positive. I hope it all works out for you.

3Dogs arrived last night at 9. I was half asleep and let her in and went back to bed. I am sooo embarrassed but I was so tired from yesterday.
Today I have taken pictures of ladybird books, coats and will post them on ebay. Also I washed the windows at the back of the house. I might tidy in the garage as I have nothing to do.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Susan is staying with me and she is a vegan so we had salad and pasta - I have been on a diet for 2 days. I am dying for crisps etc. I was supposed to go for a walk but dropped out as it was too hot and I kept snoozing in the sunshine.
I have a great tan on my legs! We sunbathed in the garden.
Tomorrow we go to the Allergy Free and V Food show in London. It's 4 food shows in one, this is the third time I am going and it is great. Steve is going to sit with me in the back of the car - I'm going to be pinching his bum for the journey- Don't tell him. lol.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Blimey did we did eat! lots but it was all nice healthy stuff - I am lactose intolerant and diabetic, susan is a vegan, the boys eat anything and we ate so much.
I have come back with a collection of free pens and this healthy eating stuff which will make my skin look amazing I hope. I didn't get to pinch Steve's bum as I fell asleep in the car on the way there and on the way back.
Total spend £12 on tube day ticket, £20 on meal and drinks as Susan (3Dogs) used loads of vouchers. The weather was glorious and we saw London at its best.
We saw an estate agents where you can rent flats for ridiculous prices. How on earth does anyone afford to live in London now? Does anyone know anyone that can still afford to live there?
Today I am going to do some exercise and some work too.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
