    Morning All,

    Things haven't been as MSE as I planned (often the case)

    - Ended up buying lunch when out, but only cafe food so not a ridiculous amount, we enjoyed the English heritage day and it has been great value as I used clubcard points to buy the card.

    - Yesterday was stay at home as it was hot, watched a film on Prime and went for a walk in the evening. I am not sure what today will bring. All food at home.

    I have been looking at Pressure washer for some time, anyway some research has found the Karcher outlet store with reconditioned units massively cheaper than anywhere else so I am thinking about buying from there, but I will sleep on it before purchasing.

  • Morning :) Had a relative lay in this morning and got up at 6.45. Madam came and got into bed with me around 6.15, snoozed off and left me there partially awake! Always the way!

    Today is set to be a scorcher :) we're going off to the beach for the day :) Will take lunch, snacks and drinks. Last day of oh's time off :(

    go to the allotment in a bit fr 1.5 hrs :)

    Dinner will be lo chicken tagine (oh & madam) colcannon & veg

    I've had a quick swish round & tidy up of the kitchen so as not to waste my flyladying yesterday! Will flylady lounge & hallway today ;)

    Going to the cinema with dd this evening to watch Girls Trip. Going to a cinema where seats are £2.50 each :)

    Want to sort out my cc but might now wait until tomorrow. We'll see how the day pans out....

    Still need to sort out the veg drawers in the fridge. Might do a batch of roasted veg and bake a cake before going to the beach....

    Ok that's all! Still trying to work out which bed to get. Also can we survive with a double duvet on a super king size bed so we can save some more cash????
