Get a grip !

Chrystal

That sounds like a fabulous day.  I'm jealous ( need a green eyed monster emoji)

Me too, it sounds like you had a great day and that you treated yourself and met friends. I can't believe that the rain has been persistent but ok so far and I hope it stays like this.

Thanks Chrystal, the nearest I can find to a green eyed monster posting from my phone 🐲 😂. Yesterday was a lovely day but I am exhausted today ! 

The rain and wind have now eased. Not sure if someone has tried to break into my shed in the night or if the wind has wrenched the door, but the lock is hanging off but still secured. I will need to go out later and secure it with the drill. Will probably need to use a piece of spare wood to batten & strengthen it. Thank goodness I didn’t declutter all bits of wood & spare screws I have kept “just in case”. 😉

is the only thing I can find ( using laptop)  Mind you I don't envy you the shed thing, hope you manage to get it sorted.

Rain stopped around 3pm. Took the dog to the park and she had a run around after her ball. Then fixed the shed. 

Found a piece of wood ideal size so thankfully no sawing required and screwed it into door frame at back of lock to strengthen then screwed the lock back on. It’s strong enough now for me to hang off so should be ok. I have only used the drill a few times but DF showed me how to use it. Otherwise I would have no idea how to attach drill bits, drill holes and attach screwdriver bits to screw in the screws or reverse the drill to remove screws! 

There is nothing very valuable in the shed but I would be annoyed if anyone  nicked my gardening tools or hover mower. 

Just finished and it’s started raining again 🌧

Another week almost over. It was pouring with rain when I got out of work. I had a £1.99 McD Big Mac and fries 🍟 and then had a snooze 😴

I woke around 3pm and it had stopped raining and the sun was out so I took the dog into the field with her ball. Nice to get some fresh air but very cold. I’ve just had a tomato cuppa soup bought in £1 shop (2 boxes for £1 😊) and some crackers. 

I’m trying not to spend much money now for the rest of the month. I have food in the fridge/freezer and cupboards so hope not to need shopping before we go away next week. I have council tax money to pay for petrol. 

Meal plan
-chicken fajitas 
-burger & chips x 2
-home made frozen roast dinner & swede/carrots to use up. 

-Chinese chicken & veg fried rice 
-Peri-peri pork steaks & jacket potato & tinned sweetcorn 
-spicy chicken & home made potato wedges, roast peppers & courgettes

Yum to nice food. I am going to try to empty my stores too but don't have the prep skills that you do well done. Hurrah for one week to payday and also to escaping for you next week.

I hope you are having a good weekend. We have rain predicted all weekend.

That will be 3 wet weekends in a row 🌧☹️

DS’s gf took the dog to the forest this morning so I did some sorting in the loft after work, then did the evening dog walk. Have got a car load of stuff to go to the tip. 3 old suitcases a bit mildewed. A pair of crutches, some cushions & a beanbag and a few worn out xmas decorations. Loads more to sort up there but did 2 hours today so that was enough. Am aching all over now 🥴 time for a lie down !

Well done. Have a good rest. We are both decluttering. Our houses will be empty soon. lol.
