😆 all I have done today is walk the dog, hang out washing & put dishwasher on. It’s sunny & bright ☀️ but a cold wind today 🥶

 Sorry it must be my poor writing, the other jobs have been done over the week just gone, the first week of my holiday started on Monday! 

Pancakes were 😋 1 mashed banana, 2 beaten eggs, 1tsp vanilla extract, 1 1/2 tbs coconut flour all whisked together, then 1 ladle per pancake fried on one side for about a minute, then about 30 seconds on the other side. Made 3 pancakes. 

Friend was too busy yesterday so we are hoping to meet up today.

We’ve got lovely sun, but you can have your North wind back 😆

You have still done more than me. It looks bright here but i am not sure how hot it is.

You can keep the wind! That was a bad one up here as it caused some of tenement over the road to fall off this week 😲 hopefully yours isn't that bad.

It was just a cold wind yesterday, not a bad enough one to damage anything thankfully. 

Friend didn’t ring yesterday, so I went with DS’s gf & the dog for a long late afternoon walk on the common & in sheltered spots it was lovely & warm. The sea was a glistening deep blue, it could almost have been a summers day, until we got in the open again 🥶

I have moved £350 of my payrise to my chair fund. Just over £60 of that was my tax refund for working from home as I changed my tax code online. I have put my meter readings in the app & I am £24 in credit, so I don’t need to use it to cover the winter energy bill. Heating has been off since the end of March. My tariff ends at the end of May so I will be looking for a good deal soon once my fix period ends.

Sounds like a great walk, being outside and by the sea is refreshing.
Food looks yummy and tasks look manageable.
Good start to your chair fund. I know it's not right having to buy one to WFH, but sometimes needs must to get the outcome wanted.

Hope you've sun today ☺️

Its brilliant that you have a benefit to the rubbish conditions at work. This chair will be of use to you. I am so pleased with all your walking and lovely views. I hope your sister is getting better. Well done to all your jobs and yum food. 

doingitanyway

The first thing I will do when I move is buy a good chair for working. So important.

Can’t believe it’s Monday already. Have been (really lazy) resting around the house all weekend 😆

Had a couple of lovely long walks with the dog and different friends on saturday morning & Sunday morning. Only job done is tidying the living room & moving some boxes of stuff upstairs ready to go in the loft. 

I loaded my incinerator ready for burning papers once it got dark, but neighbours keep leaving their washing out or their windows open! I just can’t bring myself to stink up their houses or their washing. One house across from me has left white sheets on the line all day yesterday and all night, they are still there this morning! Hopefully if it’s as cold as they forecast today they will be gone by tonight & everyone will shut their windows! 

Jobs still to be done this week
mow grass
check car tyres
hoover whole house
Pour boiling water on patio weeds (half done)
burn paperwork (shredder broke)
Move some stuff into loft
clean dog slobber off patio doors 
Second coat of paint on hall radiator
