Day off today, I am tidying housey for my parents visit and doing washing. Hospital appointment at 11 it went well and I have been given a new blood test meter. Lodger filled in tenancy contract and says he doesn't ever want to leave OMG Hurrah. I spent £10 on travel. I got change for carboot on Sunday but I had to withdraw £20 from cash machines and then spend £7 of that and my cash envelope money to get change for the car boot. lol.
Dead excited about parents coming down and the car boot. My house will be clear.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

It looks like there will be good weather this weekend which is always a good thing for a car boot
Hope you have a good weekend with your parents.

Thank you all so much. I've just arrived home and parents are here. The sun is shining and I am over the moon that we have a looong weekend. Dad says he can fit the table in the car. Hurrah.
Mum and brother have fixed my lights and also mowed garden. I have just watered it whilst they have gone out for a walk and spray washed my windows at the same time with the garden hose. The boys and their mum visit tomorrow. I am hoping to pack car boot stuff and also figure out how to fix up my clothes rail. I am so happy weather is boiling as I can do loads of clothes washing and it'll dry really quickly.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
The car boot was busy. What was surprising was that not many people bought my nice clothes instead they bought all the tat I thought wouldn't sell. I made £96 and gave it to my dad as all I wanted to do was declutter. It is so nice to have some space back. I am so happy I have wanted to have a decluttered spare room for so long.
I will try to sell what remains of my nice clothes on facebay in the next few weeks.
Today I walked 5miles in the heat on the beach. It was great. I spent £18 on clothes for brother as a present.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
£96 is great, that was lovely of you to give it to your dad.
Glad you had a nice day.
