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.0 -
