Hi August Austerity-Fans,


Hope these help links someone. Folk have been so kind to me lately I'm trying to pay it forward. I'm currently giving one of my staff a free lift to work, it costs me nothing aside a wee bit of additional fuel as he is sitting in the otherwise empty passenger seat. I'm not doing any extra miles. There is so much in the world I want to replace some of it with .

* Check online banking. Done.

* Continue my Challenge 500 miles challenge to travel 500 miles for free before the end of 2019: walking, hiking, climbing, cycling, running and swimming. I'm up to 301/500. Done.

* Packed lunch for work. Done.

Well I love the idea of kindness Ally, so thanks again. I tried to use the free Subway wrap on Thursday and was told that my local Subway weren't participating. Mean.
Unexpected nsd today - didn't leave the house. Bestie came round for a cuppa and a brief catch up which has really helped to improve my mood. It has been quite a productive day just pottering about. And obviously the weather being a better made a real difference (in spite of loads of wasps finding their way in but not back out again)

Just a quick bedtime question to ponder:

How do you declutter a double bass?

Morning I've been up an hour (an hour of blissful peace!) and am on my second coffee having already hung out the washing

Today we are heading to a beach Will take packed lunch with us

I'm going to go to the allotment shortly for a couple of hours. I'm going to give up my allotment this year. I'm sad about it as I do love it but I just don't have the time for it anymore and it looks like there will be more demands on my time going forward. I want to wait until the winter though as want to dig up my raspberry & redcurrant canes/plants...

Oh and I are in serious discussions about how much of the garden I can have for growing (he is against it as feels it is messy and for most of the year will look messy) To that end I am spending half hr a day giving our garden some love and trying to work out what I can have where....

Going to buy some hand sewing needles and complete my jumpsuit ready for my weekend away in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday I used some scraps of fabric and made an arm band for my phone for when I'm running

dinner will be the los not had yesterday

that will do. Think I'll get ready and go now

Good morning everyone :coffee: :hello:
Hope everyone is well. I've had a bit of a rotten night of sleep for some reason so not much raring to go today... However it's been weeks since I've seen my mam and sister so I'm heading off for a couple of visits today. It will do me good. Both kids are still sleeping and we're meant to be heading out in about half an hour so I think I should maybe wake them.
Other than that I'm not very sure what today might bring - I have no plans for anything much...

I don't understand the question.

Sorry to be mysterious - the biggest item in my clutter berg is a double bass, that nobody is now using, and I am running out of places to store it as it can't go int eh garage! It will probably go on the spare bed, but it's a big beast.

And now I was just taking up curtains for the room I have decorated and my ancient sewing machine started burning. I think it is shot. A very sad day.

But am being super MSE in room make over have only bought paint so far.

I bet you can find out what is wrong with it and a tutorial on how to repair. The old machines were built to last
