We’re setting up a book swap at work. I don’t think I’ve read any of Hilary Mantel’s books but a sad loss all the same.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1202 -
I've had a slow relaxing day today. B got me up twice in the night last night so I was a bit tired this morning. I spent most of the day doing my knitting and also listened to a podcast for a couple of hours.
We took B out for her evening walk and ended up at the chip shop buying chips which we ate sitting on a bench on the river, it was a bit naughty but they smelled sooooo good we couldn't resist 😂😍😂 they were very tasty too.
We were going to go to Okehampton tomorrow but have changed our minds now so we are going for a walk along the river to the Quay, there is a lovely coffee shop that sells doggy ice cream and poor B didn't get to have one all summer. We normally walk to the Quay a few times over the summer but we didn't go once this year which is a bit sad now summers over. We are excited to realise that in a weeks time B will be allowed back on the beach so we can take her back down there now. I can't believe it's October in a weeks time 😳
I also had a mince pie today 😂Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -

We went for a lovely walk today to the Quay and back. We stopped off at a dog friendly cafe so we could sit inside because although it was a lovely sunny warm day there was a brisk breeze down on the river. I had a piece of apple cake 😍😍 DD2 had a croissant and B had an ice cream which she loved, it kept her busy under the table for ages 😂
We went for a stroll past all the craft shops just to check on who is still trading, there have been a few changes but the replacements look good. I didn't go in anywhere because I didn't want to be tempted to spend any money .
We then walked home again and I spent a couple of hours chilling out before sorting out the chickens and getting things ready for work tomorrow
I had a sausage sandwich for my tea and a mince pie 😊 and I have the other two sausages in a sandwich for my lunch tomorrow 😍😍
DD2 is feeling a bit depressed about life at the moment but she said the walk today did her good. She desperately wants to buy somewhere to live but can't decide if now is a good time considering the state of the economy, the high likelihood of the housing market crashing and interest rates going up, she saw a nice flat today but isn't sure about going for it 🤷♀️Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -
