Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

😂😂😂 Oh dear 😂😂😂 No idea how on earth I did that as I hadn’t even been reading my old diary. At least I hadn’t rambled on somebody else’s.....no hope I’m afraid
😳😂
I went for a walk with dh this afternoon - there’s a new coffee van in the local park so we thought we’d try it out. It was very nice but I won’t be going again - Costa prices in a take away cup. I’ll stick to my usual cuppa for £1 at the place I went yesterday or take my flask.
I popped into Aldi for a couple of bits and a big ball of Aran wool jumped into my basket all by itself. Anyway I’ve just ignored all the projects I have on the go or am waiting to start......repairing my chairs - 1 back left to do, knitting a cardigan for gd....I’ve done the back, knitting a jumper for myself - I’ve done the back and part of the front and renovating the dolls house - crocheted blanket for the bed and making bunting for gks - not started yet BUT I started crocheting a granny square blanket for my neighbour who is expecting in the summer. It’s by far my favourite hobby as I can do it without even thinking about it. Looking pretty good so far. I’ll have it finished fairly soon as it’s in Aran. I’ll need 30 squares and I’ve done 8 today but had to stop as my arm is aching. I will not start anymore projects until I’ve finished what I’ve started.........

We went to the bank today and whilst there walked along the canal and had a cuppa from a lovely little take away cafe on a barge. We had it in the park by the side of the canal and it was lovely with spring flowers and a couple of squirrels amusing us and it was only a couple of miles away from home. At least this pandemic has made me appreciate what is on my doorstep. 

Not sure what’s got into me as I’ve tossed and turned and watched to clock get to 4 a.m. before I’ve nodded off the last couple of nights. Hopefully it’ll be better tonight. I need my beauty sleep 😉

I need my beauty sleep but don’t always get it always been a poor sleeper I envy people that can get a full nights sleep if I was you I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight thinking about that damn builder 😡

Boo to the builder.
Not really good enough.

milann

I generally nod off ok then have to get up several times but usually go straight back off. I was tired too 😳
I gave the builder a piece of my mind Beanie 😡 I fully accept things can be held up with weather but really feel they’re taking the mick now......think he can wait a few days for his cash - play him at his own game......I was going to go to the bank but something cropped up and I couldn’t make it 😳

Good on you Maman.
Sometimes you have to shout loudest to be heard sadly.

How annoying about your builder 😡 . My builder always turns up when he says he will so it shows it can be done! I hope he doesn't let you down again.

Your walk with your friend sounds lovely 🙂. I'm really looking forward to going to more varied places after lockdown. I've only been to school or the supermarket since Christmas (apart from the vaccine centre) and I'd love to go somewhere different for a change.

Hairy we are quite lucky - we have quite a few places that are a walk or very short drive away.....10 minute tops. Quite a few now have takeaway drink outlets....although that’s not too good for the bank balance.
I'm pleased to report a better nights sleep and a very lazy morning with breakfast in bed watching The Unforgotten. I’m half way through series 3 and quite enjoyed it.
Next door is a corner house and there is a massive hedge around it. Anyway he is in the process of chopping it down. It’s made our house a lot lighter. No idea how he is going to get rid of the bushes - his garden is full of them piled up. Rather him than me trying to get the roots out - they must have been in since the houses were built in the 30s as they’re literally like tree stumps. 

We have considered taking our bushes out from the front of the house but I’m not sure.....we have a small wall below the bushes and we’ve been quoted £900 to rebuild it. It’s looking very unstable atm but I can think of better things to spend £900 on 😲
A NSD today and I’ll pay my cc in full later(I don’t class that as a spend as I’ve already counted the spends onto the card) I might do the census whilst I’ve got the computer out as it says you can do it in advance - I’m not planning anybody moving in overnight and hopefully we will both still be here tomorrow 😉
