DS is back from Far East and has had a good holiday.

I got a £6 meal deal from co-op for dinner which included main, side and dessert for 2. It was pouring with rain when I left work but brightened up this afternoon so I took puppy out whilst DS slept off his jetlag

What breed is your puppy? Is he getting big now? I love dogs, parents have had a series of rescue GS, who've all been lovely if usually a bit bonkers, for the past 25 years.

Glad DS had a good holiday - hope you get one soon too!

Shes a Labrador and 11months now so shes huge ! DS has walked her twice today so I can have a rest. Shes fast asleep at the moment


I've had an email from my gas/elec supplier and they are reducing my direct debit :j I've been paying £69.50 since I switched in December and my latest winter bill came in at £9.03 (after monthly payments) so they have reduced it to £54 a month from 1 June.


I've been and done a big shop at aldi today to stock up as the cupboards were bare, and I spent £70.31 but the freezer and cupboards and fridge are full and that included loads of meat, cleaning items and toiletries.


I am looking forward to a long bank holiday weekend

I'm glad DS was able to do the walking you can have a rest.

Well done on lower electricity bill and the yum food. Roll on the warm weather although this will be a busy weekend and I shall work from home.

Im so glad its the weekend. DS walked puppy again today but I will need to do it tomorrow as he is on early shift. If its going to be a hot weekend I will need to walk her early before it gets hot.


I have to wait in for the new virginmedia equipment as its being couriered for free but I should get a two hour slot sent to me tomorrow.


I'm hoping to get some jobs done, especially washing as there is a mountain to do as well as dog towels and dog sofa throws ! Grass needs cutting, patio needs disinfecting & general tidy up needed in the garden. I will try and spread it over 3 days so I don't tire myself out too much.


My replacement cordless vax has arrived so I have whizzed round the rest of the house today, and used the shark for the puppy carpet and kitchen tiles. Puppy is moulting at the moment so life seems to be endless hoovering up dog hair. I even hoovered my fleece top whilst wearing it :rotfl:

Lovely sunny day today. One load of washing out on the line and the next load on. I have walked the puppy and scrubbed the patio to get rid of nasty niffs


My 2 hour time slot is 6pm to 8pm so at least I don't have to stay indoors all day listening for the door. I am going to do some gardening before it gets too hot !

It was very hot yesterday. I managed to walk the puppy early before it got too hot and scrub down the patio. One load of washing dried outside, ironed and put away. Dog towels also washed and dried. Me and puppy spent rest of the day snoozing. She likes laying on the tiled kitchen floor to cool down and I gave her a few ice cubes which she likes to crunch

Puppy room and tiled kitchen floor hoovered around 7pm when it cooled down and got another patch of grass cut. The grass is so long each patch I do has to be mowed three times and raked off between each cut. There is just one patch left. I wish I could afford a gardener. Most of my garden is low maintenance now but I really struggle with the grass. Once it is all short again I will have to try and do it weekly.


I saved money on takeaway food last night. I really fancied a Chinese but instead found a pack of egg noodles in the store cupboard boiled in 4 minutes while I fried half an onion and some chicken breast cut into strips with ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Yum ! I had the remains of a tub of chocolate brownie ice cream for pud bought in spar for £2


Another load of washing to do today and bath towels. Have just fed the puppy and played with her and now she is snoozing so I will walk her in a few hours before it gets hot.

Well done on doing all the washing and cleaning the patio. It is lovely by me too. It's great that you cooked your own food yesterday.

Hopefully you can enjoy today.
