Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

Cable reels collected and nabbed some ‘baby’ ones. These could be used for seating or low glasses tables.
Yesterday was spent Diggering as the weather was ok-ish. Some heavy showers sent us scurrying indoors. OH talked to the chap who was using a humongous digger next door to see if he could quote for the concrete pad we need laying. His boss is going to do it, probably when they collect the digger.
Weather is vile today so we’ve battened down the hatches and lit the stove. OH is full of a cold so giving badders a miss.

Good luck with the job!

Well done for spotting the hedgehog ☺️

75 triffids planted between showers. Dropped some chocs off for the chap we borrowed the trailer off.
Another section of job application completed and sent to sister for checking. Started another section but struggling for inspiration. I’ll have another bash tomorrow.
I was just about to start tea and OH messaged do we want Indian. Yes! Mentally put tea on hold for tomorrow.
Had a really good catch up with DD2. Hopefully she can borrow a speaker for the party.
Still debating whether to paint the reels.

It’s another shocker of a day do I won’t be getting the mutt brushed. Part 3 of job application sent to sister to check. Once that’s done I can complete the application.
DD1 is a bad influence and I’m now invested in Celebrity Traitors. I watch it on catch up then I can speed through the waffly bits.
Need to have a finance meeting with OH My pits have still not been replenished and we’re over spending every month. The boat has been booked into a sale but that’s not till November and I doubt it’ll make very much due to time of year.

I did brush the mutt in the living room as today is cleaning day. She had a bath and was such a good girl. I had to leave her in the bath to grab an old towel as I forgot to take one in. Told her stay and fully expected her to jump out but she didn’t. I’ll try and give her another brush today just to pull out any hair from her bath

Application submitted. Roll on closing date

Positive vibes on the application.

Improvised tables and seating sound excellent

Blackcats

fingers crossed for the new job application.

I’m hoping I’ve done something clever, just switched our bb providers and hopefully saved £39. We’ve been with BT since we got bb but really need to save costs. Slightly nervous as me and technology don’t really gel plus I need it for work. OH was in on the call so we could both look at what they were offering. We will have to pay a small fee to terminate the contract but the savings will be worth it.
Went to pickleball last night. Played slightly better still not a lover of it but the people are friendlier than the badders lot.
In sad news Gary Golf has got a cracked windscreen. MOT is in January I think we’ll stick him in and see what else comes up.
I did get given a homegrown cucumber yesterday so looking forward to chomping on that.
Got bloods and my jab tomorrow, then we both have eye tests. Fingers crossed we don’t need new glasses though I know OH is hoping to get some and there’s no pennies in that pot!

Had my jab and gave the vampires some blood. Both of us had eye tests and we don’t need new glasses which is a relief. Met a lady in a shop that I knew years ago, it was nice to chat.
Had lunch out but to be honest I wish we hadn’t bothered it was expensive and not worth it. They also put a ‘discretionary’ service charge on the bill which I didn’t know about till I looked at the receipt. #annoyed.
We bought cement, damp proof course for the side of the beds and some adhesive to stick it on. Also got some paint for the reels. Dropped some bits and bobs off at the charity shop. Locally the diesel is £2.02. Very scary.
Weather is once again not playing ball so nothing done outside. I’m trying to cook pea and h soup, I soaked the peas overnight and they’ve been simmering for 3 hours and are still like ball bearings. Made an executive decision to have Pringles for tea.

Naughty next door neighbour and a friend came for coffee. They’ve only just left. Decided we’re going out to a cafe tomorrow so that’s something to look forward to. Lit the stove so everywhere is nice and cozy.
Got badders later so that’s something should be fun.
Soup finally cooked so we’ll have that tonight with some crusty bread from the bakers.
