    Glad you’re ok. We certainly seem to be paying for that lovely weather we had at the start of the month. I’ve managed to get washing dry today but it’s very cloudy. Come back sunshine ☀️

    We’ve not had rain here for a while…..I think it rained once during the night but it’s just grey and sometimes a light drizzle. We actually need a good storm to get it out of its system then get some sunshine back. I think the greyness is so draining.
    You must have been shattered to sleep until 12. You obviously needed it. 
    Hope you’re feeling a bit better 👍

    It has rained her overnight and it is quite refreshing. It has really cooled down the air and thankfully watered all he plants and the grass. 

    Hope you are feeling better and able to get some of those jobs done. x

    It's just humid here and sticky, I have done basic level jobs in the house but nothing else

    Hi everyone just popping in for a quick update. It's been very hot here today but I wasn't outside in it because I had a trip to Ikea planned with DD2. We had lunch there and got to try their new plant based meatballs and very nice they are too 😍😍 

    I bought a couple of runners to go on the upstairs landing instead of the carpet that I'm pulling up ASAP, they are quite big and look really nice, I might temporarily paint the floor boards white until I can decide what to do up there, I'm loath to replace the carpet because it will get wrecked again, the runners I've bought can be machine washed and will look nice with whatever I decide to put down. 

    I also bought a hanging plant pot because I have a spider plant that I want to hang up in the corner of my bathroom and of course my favourite little cakes too for a coffee time treat 😍😍

    Today is the second of three days off and I was intending to do some more painting but I'm having a pain flare so haven't been able to do any. I'm hoping to do some tomorrow but who knows what will happen, I will find out when I wake up 🤷‍♀️

    I also need to do my banking tomorrow because I have money to move around. I'm using £200 of DDs rent to add to the Xmas/ birthday fund and keeping £100 out for both DGS birthdays which are in July. This will mean I have £400 saved up in the Xmas fund 🎉🎉 
    I also need to remember to call the flooring people tomorrow, I keep forgetting so I'm going to leave myself a note for the morning 😊
     
    Today was sunny and really hot and Im hoping for the same tomorrow so I can get all my washing done 🤞🤞🤞my house looks like a laundry at the moment because I couldn't dry the washing outside 🙄

    It’s a pain when you can’t get the washing dry….my pet hate is washing about the place. Hope you are feeling ok and can get some of the things you want done.

    Me too,I normally have space in the spare room but it's only small so when it comes to bedding that won't fit. I'm hoping to catch up now and it's sunny again today 🎉🎉

    Just waiting for the washing to finish spinning so I can peg it out. It's sunny again today so hopefully it will dry 🤞🤞I've also got to nip out to the shops because we have run out of cat litter and I forgot it yesterday,I'm annoyed about this because I wanted to be at home all day today. I am taking some stuff to the charity shop though while I'm out so not a complete waste of time. I will also be cleaning my doors ready for painting when I get back  😊
