My journey to a debt free life

I'm also very interested in Vikings and would love to visit the Jorvik Viking Centre in York .

The tart looks very tasty, OBL. I think the pastry should be okay so long as it was kept in the fridge, and all the veg are bound to be good for you. (As well as tasty).

I haven't been to Sutton Hoo but I went to the Yorvik dig while it was still a dig - I remember walking round some wooden structure looking down into the area where the archaeologists were working, and there was a basket of Viking oyster shells that you could help yourself to as they were finding so many. Mine is bound to be around somewhere! I've been again since, when the children were at such an age that their main impression was the smell when we went down into the reconstruction - and it really was smelly! Another time I was very nearby supporting a client and we sat down on a low wall to watch the world go by... including a Viking complete with a sword and a Marks and Spencer carrier bag!

I'd also recommend Jarrow Hall, which I went to when it was Bede's World.

Hopefully you will get to all three one of these days.

Wow,I would have loved this 😊 loving the image of the Viking with his M&S bag 😀

Sutton Hoo was somewhere on our journey home from Southwold.....not especially close. It broke the journey for us so we’d travelled a fair way before we got there. We hadn’t been to that area of England before so we did travel  a fair bit. Ds and dh did the driving and I just sat and relaxed so wasn’t paying that much attention to the distances.

I remember taking my 2 to Jorvik soon after it opened...it was the smell that was the main talking point and sticks in my memory too. I do go to York quite a bit in normal times - it’s about an hour and half from here, but only been in the museum once. Yes it’s quite funny seeming some characters walking through the streets in full Viking regalia sporting a mobile phone or carrier bag 😂😂
Glad you got better hours for the day in clinic 👍

I've been to York once in my life on a school trip and it was before 1975 so not for a very long time, I remember loving the place though

I think I've found mice in my garage so will need to do something quick to sort that out! 
Have a lovely weekend x

Oh no, if they are there because of the rabbit supplies I recommend buying a metal bin to keep it in , if they cant get to it they will move on

I went to the Jorvik museum experience years ago when I was a student and it was really interesting, especially the smells as some have said. I may have been to Sutton Hoo as a child but would love to go again. I hope you get to go one day OBL.

What a pain about your feed being mostly missing, I hate bad service like that 😡.

I will one day hopefully 😊. I have had an email from Pets At Home to say they are sending another bag of corn, lets hope this gets here in once piece 🙄.

Today has been a truly lazy day at Cluckingham Palace. I am sooooooooo tired it's ridiculous. Last night I went to bed at 10 pm and didn't wake up until 11 am today and I'm still fighting to stay awake 😟
Yesterday at work was a pleasant day which went by quite quickly but I did struggle with tiredness all day , it was also NSD 3. I spent last night finishing a book I've been reading, I really could see how it would end and in the end it was quite ridiculous and far fetched so that was a waste of time 
Today I haven't done much at all, I walked B this morning in the lovely sunshine then came home and lounged around before tidying the kitchen and sorting the 🐓🐓for the day. I have had an email from Pets At  Home to say they  are sending me another bag of corn which should be here on Tuesday, to stop the🐓🐓from rioting I gave them a fat ball and an apple to munch on, the new drinker is saving me time and effort because I haven't had to refill it yet instead of refilling their dish everyday 🎉🎉
Tomorrow Im working a long day so I just need to make sure I set my alarm to the right time this week. After tomorrow's shift I am on holiday for a week which I'm really looking forward to. I am hoping I will have the energy to start doing some of the jobs in the house that I can do, I will wait and see how I'm feeling 
I'm not sure if today is going to be a NSD because we might be ordering a pizza for tea 😀

You must’ve needed that sleep 💤 Good news about the replacement feed, quite right too. I think a takeaway is well deserved 👍

Cor blimey it's Baltic out there today 🥶🥶🥶🥶 I'm so glad I've got this week off so I can stay inside if I want to. I've just been shopping and have enough supplies for a few days so will only need to take B out for her walk and sort the 🐓🐓. I will need eggs at some point because the 🐓🐓have stopped laying again and I forgot to buy some this morning 🙄

Yesterday at work was interesting but a good shift apart from being kicked in the side of the face by an agitated 16 year old, luckily it was just a glancing blow 🙀🙀 I was worried it would set off the TN but so far touch wood I seem to have got away with it 

I seem to have woken up with a bit more energy today so that's a good sign. I'm trying to use this week to get myself into a routine of getting up at a set time. It's not particularly early (9.30 am) by most people's standards but that's early for me on a non work day. I took my Calms Night Time last night and slept really well, my problem is restless sleep so although I could be in bed for a good 9 hours most of that is spent tossing and turning trying to get to sleep until I have a week where all I want to do is sleep, I'm hoping to regulate it a bit more and have better quality too, we will see how it works out

When I got home last night my replacement bag of corn had been delivered and it had a flaming hole in it again 🙀🙀 luckily it had been placed inside a plastic sack so I don't think I've lost any this time. I think I will give up ordering it online and stick to my local pet shop from now on, it's just really heavy to carry home. Bs dog food also arrived today which was lucky because she ran out yesterday and had to have cat food for her tea 😀

😂😂hope the dog doesn’t start meowing after eating cat food😂😂 
Not good being kicked in the face. Pleased it hasn’t had any bad effects for you. 

Enjoy your time off work and stay warm
