Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

I think it's just dig a clump out and tease into smaller clumps and replant where you want them - they'll spread around anyway. Maybe add some blood, fish & bone when replanting and water in.

Thanks @pink_poppy. Busy night and a new person helping me. Did 34 covers!!!! Most I’ve ever done.

Busy!  I suppose tourist season has arrived

Gosh tired today. Cleaned a holiday cottage and just having a sit down and watching my serial before this afternoon’s shift. 

It’s only the second of May and I’ve been spending again. Ordered new hiking boots, very much needed as the tread has worn out on my old ones and I discovered a hole. Gone for the same pair as the old ones. Hoping they won’t take too much breaking in and I’ve got a new set of orthotics to go in. Also ordered some trainers that meet the criteria recommended by the hospital. Still came to over £200!
This getting old malarkey isn’t fun!

true but neither are sore toes.  the footwear will be well worth the investment

Decided to put the big walk off. I’m tired and one of the pooches is lame. Nothing visible so she’s on bed rest. Only did 23 last night but it felt like lots more. Met DD1 and OH in the pub after the shift finished along with some of the kitchen crew. 

DD1 leaves tomorrow, it’s been lovely having her here.

That’s DD1 back home. She ended up leaving on Saturday night as the 24 hour garage has changed its hours and wouldn’t be open if she left early morning. Sad to see her go. 

So we’ve done a thing. An expensive thing, however it should pay us back over 6 years. We’re getting solar panels. We’ve gone in with a couple of other people to make it cheaper so will need to wait for them to come and install when they’ve got all the orders and stock. Exciting!
In other spendy news I’ve ordered an ice cube making machine. Thats nearly it on spending. My new hiking boots and shoes arrived. The boots are fine but the shoes I’m not sure about. I’m waiting for a call back from another company to see what they recommend, so I’ll possibly be buying a pair off them to see if they’re better but 1 pair will be going back. 

Went to see a comedian on Sunday night. It was ok but didn’t come home with aching ribs from laughing like other ones I’ve seen. 

Yesterday was glorious and spent time in the garden. I’m helping my neighbour break her pony in. We’re at the stage of going out on the road. My job is to grab the reins if it looks like it’s going mammary skywards. So far, touch wood she’s been great and literally taking it in her stride. 

Currently locked out of work computer and waiting for the tech guys to phone. They’ve been updating the email system so not sure if it’s gone ok.

Waterfall sounds lovely. 

Solar panels sound a great investment.

Had a win on the PBs, that’s reinvested. Garden project is a case of 2 steps forwards and one back. Basically had to knock down some of the work we’d done at the weekend as it wasn’t right. After a bit of help from google, I’ve ordered some aquatic cement (who knew there was such a thing?)
Work was terrible yesterday. A new email system was installed which meant no emails till dinner time and then you had to shutdown each time you wanted it to refresh. Plus another project I was working on failed miserably. Arranged with a company to do the work needed, liaised with the staff at the site who they’d need in and the company never turned up. Not a happy bunny. Somehow the person who books the work at their end had booked it in for the first Tuesday in June. It means I’ve got to go through the whole thing again. Kudos to the company who admitted their mistake instead of trying to wriggle out of it and make excuses. 

Ordered some more shoes, see how these ones fit with the orthotics in.
