Get a grip !

The cancellation fee with this company is a minimum of £50 plus more depending on how much work they have done. They will probably charge me for sending emails & phone calls eg to sellers estate agent 🙁 so I wouldn’t know the exact amount until I decided to cancel. I may contact some others later today

I went out with my friend (who has no dogs) last night and had a drink & then an Indian meal at a local restaurant. Food was excellent & had a good evening. Cost £16 each. Friend insisted on paying for the drinks at the pub. It will be my round next time. 

Plans this morning - 
walk the dog 
collect meds
put petrol in the car, £20 should be enough for 2 return journeys to the office next week and 3 the week after. 

I am working this afternoon

Meal and catch up is good, as does your shopping.

Try and rest up this weekend and I'll do likewise.

It’s a lovely sunny morning. I’ve fed the dog and got a cup of tea and am going to get a bit more sleep. Plans for today 

walk the dog
wipe down/ hose off dog slobber from patio doors 
hose over the patio & disinfect with some zo flora. 

Wash towels & hang out on line
do some shredding 
Make chilli in slow cooker

I have so far sorted 3 outfits to wear into the office. There is no dress code but I like to wear something different to the office than what I normally wear so I can change clothes when I get home & relax after work. I hang around at home in my “scruffs” comfortable worn clothes that it doesn’t matter if they get covered in dog hair or dog slobber 😆 I also have different clothes for going out with friends. However a lot of stuff in my wardrobe has not been worn since long before lockdown and I need to clear it out. I don’t have loads of clothes, but the ones I do wear don’t fit in the wardrobe 

That should be enough of a list for today and Sunday! The rest of the time will be relaxing. Hopefully a no-spend weekend.

All sounds good and definitely enough for one weekend!

Had a lovely dog walk yesterday morning. Bumped into my friend with 2dogs and had a good chat. 

Made a chilli in the slow cooker with mince beef, peppers, courgettes, onions, tin tomatoes, baked beans and kidney beans. Ate one portion and 4 portions into plastic tubs & frozen. 

I sorted 2 carrier bags of clothes for the charity shop and one bag of broken “stuff” for the bin. 

Towels dried on the line and DS’s gf did 2 more loads which also dried. They sort out their own washing. I will wash my bedding this morning. The forecast is for nice sunny weather all week getting warmer up to 28 degrees which is a bit scorchio for me. ☀️ The dog has her 2 cool mats out already, one downstairs in the kitchen and one upstairs. 

Did lots of sitting around with foot up resting 😆 Today I will walk the dog later and finish my other jobs on the list, plus wash bedding.

You've done well, hope the catch up was beneficial.

28° is very warm, get a good breeze circulation going round the house and some ice on the go for soft drinks.

Have walked the dog this morning in the sun. Bedding has been washed and hung out. Just waiting for the duvet to finish spinning so I can hang that out too. It’s only a thin duvet and my machine is a 8kg so it fits in ok. 

I have been sorting some stuff out in the kitchen ready for packing. I’ve ordered a shop to be delivered at 11.45 including bacon as I really fancy a bacon sarni 😋 

Skint_yet_Again

Bacon sarni was lovely yesterday 😋 Spent most of the day pottering. Sorted a box of paperwork. Bedding and duvet all line dried. Lovely fresh sheets on my bed. I gave the patio doors a quick wash down. 

I’m going to steadily go through my stuff over the next few weeks while I am waiting for my survey on the new place, so that I only take what I need & want. I will try to be ruthless 😆

I have just fed the dog and am back in bed with a cuppa. Hopefully I will get a bit more sleep, then walk the dog, then working from home today. 

I need to get more fruit later today to take into the office over the next few days & I need to get and post a Father’s Day card so it will not be a NSD today.

The more ruthless you are, the cheaper it will be to move with just one van and a few car trips with lighter / personal items.

Bacon's is good!

Hope your day goes well.
