Including £3.99 delivery but worth it for not having to worry about going into the supermarket.Today’s jobsWashing towels ✅Empty / reload dishwasher ✅Unpack shopping ✅Wipe all surfaces ✅

Still not a bad price for shopping in the current circumstances.
Your to do list is impressive and the amount already ticked off!
We have clear blue skies too. I hope you get some time outside 😊Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -

My new microwave arrived at lunch time today. 😊 It’s smaller than the old combi microwave/ oven / grill & is fab. Basic push button controls & big enough to fit in a dinner plate so it has everything we need.It’s been so hot today ☀️ Have just got back from walking the dog. DS & gf walked her this morning. It’s lovely & cool out now but still warm enough for just a Tshirt.Have had an email from e on as my fixed tariff comes to an end soon. Have started looking & British Gas seems cheapest with £25 cash back on Mse

As the microwave was cheaper from j Lewis I treated myself to next working day delivery 😊
Its lovely weather again here. Had a lovely walk with the dog 7.45am for an hour and it was a bit cooler. She’s now in bed with DS & his gf who have been on nights. I started work at 9am and am just taking a break.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
