Get a grip !

I almost can’t think about it. I am scared it will fall through. I couldn’t see the point of having a valuation for another £180.  

Breakfast was 9.30 so I’m hungry now. Chilli & garlic belly pork is crisping in the oven. I am having it with baked sweet potato and watercress salad.

Then we won't discuss it and just keep everything crossed.

Good choice of food 😃

Payday 🤗

Work has been ok. Have paid for survey £600 and spoken with the surveyor about a few concerns. Was able to do an electronic signature with my finger on my phone 😆 They will arrange a date with the estate agent of the buyer. 

Just about to take the dog out & get some sun

How very high tech Skinty! 

I'm glad your day was ok, hope the sun and walk is beneficial too.

I know, it was amazing. I’m not great with technology but even I could do it! 😆

There's a few good / positive changes over the last few years, companies making things easier instead of thinking bits of paper are needed.

Now stopping you now 😊

Feel exhausted today. Didn’t sleep well last night. Have walked the dog, tidied the kitchen, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, emptied the bins and wiped round the bathroom & put out a clean hand towel. DF & Auntie arrive this afternoon. I am working 9 till 12 and then if I have the energy I will tidy the living room and run the hoover round. Wish I had taken the whole day off now! 🙄

I slept for 2 hours after I finished work yesterday 😆 At least I only had to crawl from desk to sofa!

Df and Auntie arrived and it is lovely to see them. We went for a walk in the late afternoon sun and then to the pub for tea. DF bought the drinks and Auntie bought the food. They wouldn’t let me pay for anything. They both had senior citizens 2 course £4.49 and I had chicken chips onion rings coleslaw £8.49 so less than £20 for 3 meals & 2 puddings. I wasn’t going to have a pud but the pub mixed up the order and brought an extra one so they gave us one pud for free 😁 Can’t resist a free pud 😂

Today the forecast is dry and warm. I believe we are off to the coast for the day on the bus. DF and Auntie have their free bus passes so it’s just my ticket to pay for. I can just pay by contactless card on the buses now, so no need to carry any change. Much easier than trying to park the car and we can walk & jump back on the bus anytime without the need to return to the car park.

Meals are great, bet the free pud tasted even better.

Enjoy your day out, sea air and company will be beneficial.

Had a wonderful day yesterday despite falling and twisting my ankle in the morning while walking the dog 😩 I managed to put my foot in a hidden hole in the grass and ended up sprawled on the floor
 
I got home and put ice on it. Strapped it up and downed some painkillers. We got the bus and then just pottered along the sea front stopping to sit every now & then. The weather was lovely. Bought some ibuprofen in the boot chemist. We stopped and had a cup of tea at a cafe & watched the boats. Then got the bus back. Home and a snooze with foot up. It is swollen and sore but not as bad as last time. I will not need to find my crutches from my last escapade! Out to dinner at the harvest place & yummy fish and chips 😋 Again a battle over who was paying and I lost 😆 


Foot is sore this morning but hopefully it will loosen up once I get moving around and more pain killers and ibuprofen. Maybe I will then stop lurching like a drunk too 😆

Plans today are for a gentle stroll on the wildlife common & coastal path calling at the pub. Then taxi back.  I will insist on paying but it may not get me anywhere. This is the last sunny day in the forecast so will make the most of it ☀️
