    The first day back was fine. We are hoping there will not be any job losses this year! It was a NSD. Im hoping that I can maintain this.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • £96 is great, that was lovely of you to give it to your dad.

    Glad you had a nice day.
