Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

Cor, soup and crusty bread is one of the all-time greatest meals. Going to have to copy you soon, I'm envious

Pringles for tea also a winner though 😁

Shame about the lunch but at least you know now. You could maybe put a polite review on Tr!pAdv!sor to warn others as that is very disappointing

Hoping you play badders indoors as it's really windy and chilly down here, I dread to think about the weather up there!

😀badders outside… we’d need someone on the outer isles to return the shuttle!

Went out for lunch with neighbour and friend who came over yesterday. It was lovely and made up for the other day. I had a beetroot and Carrot fritter. Popped into OHs work and annoyed him for half an hour.
I really hope for some nice weather, then I can get the girls on a walk and paint.
Need to bake some lemon drizzle cakes before the lemons run off and a fruit crumble. Not sure what I’m going to cook this week as not feeling very inspired. Theres a recipe I want to try but I forgot to get spinach so that’s not happening.
Closing date for job this week….

I did get the girls to the beach. Thought a good run round with the ball thrower….. it helps if you take the ball thrower and not the shoe horn!

Made 3 crumbles couldn’t do the lemon drizzle as I hadn’t got enough butter.
Attacked an area that’s going to be planted next year and drum roll, managed to nearly paint one of the reels. Just need it to dry then can flip it over and do the bottom.
Haggis, Neeps and tatties for tea with a whiskey cream sauce. I’ll make enough sauce to use it with sausages and mash for another nights tea.

Shoe horn 🤣

We survived yesterday’s 80mph winds. I’ve retrieved the bins from their swimming lesson in the stream. I’ll have to litter pick at some point as they’ve rejected their contents.
Had my nails done today. I went for more sensible colours in the hopes I get an interview. Getting my hair done on Saturday. Played pickleball on Tuesday, no badders this week as the hall is being used for something else.

wow - 80 mph winds sound fierce and clearly the gusts got the better of your bins 🙀

Fingers crossed you get an interview

lucielle

It’s supposed to rain until 10 so I’ll think about getting up then. I’ll litter pick the stream with my trusty litter picker, the number of times I’ve nearly face planted in that stream it’s bound to happen one day!

Hopefully the reels will be dry then I can paint another one. I did have a brainwave when I was painting the reel on Sunday. We’re hoping to get a concrete pad laid (waiting for a quote) and this will be the dance floor for the party. At each corner we were going to sink some poles into concrete se we can string lights up. Cue brainwave, if we put the reels in each corner we can put the poles into the centre of each reel. They’re heavy enough they won’t blow away and then we can dismantle it when we’ve finished. The only issue is we’ve only got 3 big ones. Going to see if one will fit in the back of the pickup and I could possibly get one when I get my hair done. Otherwise we’ll have to borrow the trailer again.

Didn’t get chance to see if the reel fits in the pickup, it’ll have to wait for another day. Had my hair done and booked in for December (eek how did that happen?). Whilst I was out OH was helping a friend who was having boat engine issues. Unfortunately he fell when he was climbing out (luckily it was on dry land). However he landed on rocks and has hurt his hip. He decided to keep moving and we managed to get 2 rows of blocks laid. I made him go for a bath when we’d finished. He’s sore this morning.
Booked a Morrisons slot for next Monday just before we get paid. I’ll have to do some money juggling to cover it and then pay it back.
still not heard anything from job. Hoping I hear this week.
Broadband switch went ok and I’ve put the saving into savings.

Hope DH is ok.

lucielle

He’s a bit bruised but moving ok. Yesterday was definitely a 5 pegger on the washing line. It all dried beautifully! Have to make the most of it wet weather incoming. I know I shouldn’t wish my time away but goodness me I hope next year is better!

OH is out tonight and I’ll have to pick him up later. Decided not to go to pickleball as it could end up being 2 trips out if the timings don’t line up.
