It was chilly by me this morning and just as I left work. I hope little doggie is well. Your breakfast looks great. I am glad you had that walk. The tiredness hit me yesterday and I am glad i took the day off as it did me the world of good. I hope you are resting now.

Hey Skinty
Glad you are feeling a bit better, that's some impressive list, and sounds pretty healthy to me too. And good on you for fighting on with the shoe company 'Never give up, never surrender!'

Shopping looks great as do the meal plans. Well done cutting your budget back down, now you are doing it and not having deliveries 🤗

(Please check the ingredients in the peanut butter, if there's palm oil, do not give it to PD)

Sports direct have sent me a label to print & drop off parcel at local shop for collection and refund. 

The vet has said it’s ok for a small treat for the dog so she has had it since a pup. As long as it doesn’t have xylitol in it.

Lovely sunny morning not too cool. Have been out for an hour with the dog. 

Used my entertainment budget & blew the healthy eating last night & had fish and chips with Free delivery £6.20. Don’t feel hungry this morning so just had scrambled egg & some melon. 

Need to pack up my shoes later to send back for a refund. I’m thinking of using my old shoes and getting some waterproof spray ? Does anyone know a good spray that will do my shoes, coat & waterproof over-trousers which are leaving damp patches on my knees ?

Nikwax is the only one I use. I even put it on non-water proof boots when I buy them. Been using it for nearly 20 years, my sibling for longer 😊
They do different things for clothes / boots.

Fish and chips sound great and just what was needed for a mid-week hump day!

Will have a look at Nikwax thanks 

Quiet few days just dog walking and working. 

I have decided to paint my small wooden shed this weekend as the weather is forecast to be dry & warm. I’ve ordered creocote from tool station last night on offer at £7.99  down from just over £10 on click & collect. They should contact me once it’s ready to collect. I already have brushes etc from last time I used this stuff. The wood is looking very dry so it will need a good soak.

I walked the dog this morning then dropped off my shoes at a local shop for collection & refund. Popped to tool station & collected my shed paint. 

I was thinking of starting painting today but it has gone cloudy & dark. There is no rain forecast but it looks like it will chuck it down any minute. My washing is just finishing so I will hang it out & hope it stays dry. I will do the shed painting tomorrow. 

Am at a bit of a loss for the rest of the day. Don’t feel like doing housework.
