Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

Holding the off button for 30 seconds seems to have got it over its hissy fit. Phew going to Skye need lots of reading materials. Now have a lovely, sparkly mobile dog kennel. No dogs have been in it so far , doubt that'll last long. First of Ds2s cars getting done today.
Been to the opticians and they think its because I got different nose pads put on when I picked the glasses up. Anyway they've put another different set on, so I'll 'see' how I get on.

Still not sure about the glasses. When I sit down to work on the computer they're ok. When I'm doing the parcels I stand up using another computer and its then its worse. I'll stick with it for now. Another car sparkly and clean. Though I was annoyed with DS2 as he left his with 10 miles worth of fuel (I was going at least 17 miles) so had to detour to fill it up. If he'd have told me I would've set off sooner.

Had a sneaky night out last night. DS2 and GF invited us to the pub quiz, not sure if they were hoping we were going to be their secret weapon but as we came second from the bottom.....doubt we'll be asked again. It was a good night.
Not long till we go, getting excited. Also bought a pallet of creosoted fencing posts, we'll collect them nearer to the time. Its going to be a slow journey as we're taking Daisy digger up, fencing posts, wire netting, filling the spaces on the trailer with logs and any other heavy stuff. OH will do the driving as I certainly don't do heavily laden 16 foot trailers!

Had my hair done yesterday, looks good. After my gym session I had 6 mins in the sun shower. Hopefully it will help with vitamin D and my B12 levels. Plus it will turn me from white fish belly to tanned tuna!
Took the hounds for a walk and then spent the rest of the morning cleaning out the pickup ready for next week. Even managed to wash the seat covers, first time in 4 years, forgot it had leather seats!
This time next week we'll be up there
