    It is really hot at the minute. It was hot yesterday and again today it’s supposed to be. I feel sorry for the animals as they really struggle with their fur coats.

    Poor B just doesn't know what to do with herself,I got up in the night and she was sprawled half on her bed and half across the floor, she sleeps on the landing so I leave the window open in the bathroom and spare room which are at opposite ends of the landing in the hope there will be a breeze but there wasn't last night.
    Ive been squirrelling money away into my house fund left right and centre ,I don't want to spend it now though 😂 there's actually more in there now but I haven't updated it in my signature yet

    That's the other issue when you have saved money for something! 
    I can't remember the last time I managed to save that much money though x

    I thought I would sleep really well last night but my brain was having none of it, I had as many ideas running around my head it was ridiculous, then the theme for Chuckle vision decided to make an appearance 🙀🤷‍♀️although god knows why 😀😀I took a sleeping tablet at 2.30 because I could see myself being awake all night 
    This morning I'm on house work duty because I didn't clean up the garden mess I traipsed in yesterday, there were leaves, twigs and bark that fell out my clothes and hair all over the place. It's all done now so everything is back to normal 😊

    It sounds as you’ve had a busy day. Hope you’re planning chilling for the rest of the day

    I was planning on chilling out but ended up sweeping the patio and tidying more bits of garden 🙄

    Another busy day today, I ended up sweeping leaves off the patio,I have two shrubs up on the rockery above the patio and this year for some reason they are shedding their leaves all over the place, the leaves are tiny but get everywhere. I had hoovered this morning and five minutes later B had dragged leaves in stuck to her feet so I swept them all up and gave the patio a good tidy
    I did manage to spend a little bit of time sitting in the sun though 😀

    Tomorrow Im back at work but only for one day then I have another three days off 🎉🎉 I've emailed the other flooring company with all the details of what I want done in the house so I'm just waiting to hear back from them about prices then I can make a decision on the floors 

    I also looked at my local slimming world meeting tonight and it looks like the Monday night one is now running but the only problem is I don't like the lady who has taken it over, she is really miserable and doesn't have a sense of humour,I used to go to one of her groups before but left because  I used to dread going 😀I looked at the online membership but it's the same price as going to the group which seems like a bit of a rip off to me. I can't go tomorrow anyway so will think about it until next week 

    Right I'm off to bed now because I've got to get up early 😟

    I'm melting 😂😂, so far today I haven't done much at all yet because I'm too hot. I've got one load of washing on the line and another in the machine and I've tidied up the kitchen which was abandoned last night in flavour of an early night.

    I was going to go into town today but have decided to go tomorrow  instead. I am determined to check my online banking today to make sure I'm on track this month ,I keep saying I'm going to do it and then forget, this month has gone by really fast and I can't believe I get paid again in 7 days 🙀

    I have also made headway with the slimming world dilemma and have now found out that it's a different lady to the one is was thinking it was ,they just have the same first names. I've contacted her and I'm going to start going next Monday,the meetings are at 5.30 and 6.30 which suits me. If I'm at work I will have to go to the 6.30 one but when it's my day off I can go to the 5.30 one. I will try them both but prefer an earlier time 😊I'm quite excited about it now and can't wait to get started
