Excellent news about the bungalow Paulie!
Up early.Wrote a list and ticked most of it off ( all but top up kindling and logs)
Had a bit of work prep to do…this is going to be a crazy week! But I have to embrace the crazy week in the same way as I accept the quiet fortnight’s when there’s nothing!It stopped raining briefly. So we went to the CP and had a splashy kind of walk…little river was back ( joined up puddles).
Slightly growling! I had put a load of stuff on Vinted and have my settings to drop off at local shop…however apparently this can be overridden and is where the buyer chooses. So last week I had to go into town. Today I had to go to down town Supermarket…fair enough…went on way back from our walk…drop that off in locker…and ggrrrr…there’s another blooming item sold and it’s to go to these same blooming lockers! So I growled! And then had to come home and pack it in a parcel and will then have to go back to down town Supermarket! But not today! It’s not very convenient nor money saving to be back and forth using petrol! For the sake of selling a top for £3.00…so mainly I just growled 😆Had a baked potato with ham and coleslaw for tea.Milder than it’s been today, just very wet and windy. So heating just on for a wee while and I’ll fill my hot water bottles soon and switch it off.I just need to wash my floors and then I’m tidy and ready to start a new week…which will be of much in and outs!Candles on and looks all cosy.5 -

loving how much joy HWBs bring this group - my sort of people

for the weekend
1) singing - new mass setting went well this morning
2) football - Luton won hooray and have watched some good FA cup matches
3) buses (and common sense) - we were going to buy some milk on the way home from church, MrT is right by the bus stop but I thought to check the time - buses 2 minutes or 38 mins and it was raining - we caught the bus
4) best friends - mine turned up unexpectedly lunch time - there was plenty of food and he accepted my invitation then we decluttered 2 past their best before single christmas puds and custard
5) best friend's car - we then went to the big MrT to buy the milk (and other items on the shopping list but not so urgent)20*25 for 2025: 489 / 5001 -
Just off to bed but musing on whether PaulieHerts will remain true to her roots and keep her user name or whether she will change it now she has found her forever home.....
