Champagne Lifestyle on a Lemonade Budget.

Had a lovely afternoon with DS2 and his girl.  A delicious lunch even if I do say so myself.  DS assembled a flat pack coffee table for me and he also attempted to get into my safe for me.  Don't ask.....😂. I can't remember the combination and I can't find the emergency key.  I think I might need to try a locksmith, not sure what else to try.  

When it got cooler And they had left I made a start moving some of the rockery stones that were stacked by the side of the house.  I need to move them so I can get the outside painted, so I've Transferred them to a space behind the shed for now.  I did think of getting rid of them but as DS1 pointed out they cost money and between us we can find a use for them.  I could even build a rockery. 😂.    Hopefully I can get most of them moved next week, a few each day, although I will have to get the boys to lift the big heavy ones. 

 No point having strapping sons and struggling to do it myself.  Sometime you just have to delegate.  

Why have a dog and bark yourself.  😂

I keep seeing the Married at First Sight adverts on TV. I can't believe people actually do that?!

@helensbiggestfan - rather than working from home would you consider being mobile and going to clients at their own home?  There are still a lot of people who don't drive who would welcome that.  I have a mobile hairdresser comes to cut my hair every 6-8 weeks and it's great as I absolutely hate going to a salon!

Or perhaps you could do a combination of mobile and at home, which would be the best of both worlds.  This, of course, would only work if your couch is one of the folding ones and not just in one piece which would be difficult to get in and out of a car and into client's houses.

Lovely to catch up And gives me a lot of inspiration... 

All the artwork was great to see - especially the two ladies, the Caribbean one reminded me of a very happy holiday...as to the feline friends Just scrummy. 

Glad the chiropractor is working their magic, do take care, lifting heavy bits ( rocks ) etc perhaps not the best at the mo... 

champagne moment - being able to stop reading text books and indulge in some fiction reading...

 hello my lovely friends.  

Yes my couch Is a folding one, but weighs a ton so I would struggle.  Maybe after my treatment when I'm fitter and stronger.  

Bit of a frustrating morning, my treatment was cancelled.  Never mind I'll tackle some gardening, then recover with a nice long soak in the bath and a bit of Netflix.  

It's funny which programmes grab you......Not seen  Married at First Sight.  My guilty pleasure is that First Dates one, 😱😂.

Blackpool was a nice break, although very busy so quite a worry! It was nice to have meals cooked for me, and delicious they were too! looking forward to my gym reopening, only really use the pool, will be nice to get going again. I always do 40 lengths, its what I set myself at when I joined and I've stuck with it. I bet I will struggle at first.

Saturday is hairdressers! my hair is quite thick and wavy. I usually have a short bob, and foils, 2 colours. The bobs grown out and I think I am going to keep it a little longer, I always struggled straightening the back. It looked nice when the hairdresser did it but I never got it quite right, so thinking of a mid length bob

One of my favourite dishes is risotto. But I’m hopeless at cooking rice.  

My champagne  moment....,Finding out that tinned spelt makes fabulous risotto. Mushroom risotto. Yum. So easy, takes minutes, a perfect lunch.
