  • It's a private lake and the locals pay about £80 a year for 2 people to be able to walk and fish on the lake. We only passed three ladies the whole time we were out there . It is lovely I wish I lived nearer to it.

    The lake looks very calm and the bacon butties sound delicious but best of all I’ve just noticed you are only 11 more payments to being debt free 👏👏👏 ‘This time next year Rodney 🤪😂’
    I enjoyed the chat yesterday too.
    i went to the NT place today and for the first time ever there didn’t see any deer. I managed to walk around the smallest circuit with a rest at every available bench. There was a pizza van which was a very welcome find so we shared a pizza then drove to the water park a few miles away and had a coffee at an outside cafe before heading home to the building site.

    Morning just, done the parental shopping and my own. Then had my head  whizzing round by my parents , they are hilarious they argue all the time, call each other but love each other to bits. 
    I have done an Argos, Bodyshop , Next order at their house for all Christmas things . I won't let them worry about Christmas this year , normally I take mum to the big shopping centre and we have a day when she gets all the families presents and I get my mums from my dad , so this year there was slight panic but all sorted now. 
    My mum doesn't like the colour of her new prop for the washing line that my dad has made so he is doing it a different colour 😂to keep the peace. 
    Washing in , am going to have to sort out my finances this weekend I have money going here there and everywhere . 
    Coffee time first .

    Glad you’ve got your parents Christmas shopping sorted for them. They sound entertaining 😂 Made me smile about your mum not liking the colour of the prop 😂

  • Best to avoid that shopping centre as whenever I have been in its not been Covid safe at all. Not even remotely near. 
    Love the picture of the lake. Have a lovely weekend x

    Thanks for the shopping centre info Nicnak, i was debating whether or not to chance it in December....might not bother.
    Lol to the colour of the prop.....what colour does she want 😂😂
    Good that you’ve done the shopping on line. I know what my ds wants but no idea about anyone else....

    I have literally ran in to next and come back out of the shopping centre but agree whole heartedly with you.
