    Downstairs housework done this morning, and yesterday's washing mostly folded and out away, while OH went to put up a blind for DD2. Lamb joint has just gone into the oven for dinner. Need to round up some veg from the garden to go with it.
    Other things:
    Take photos of tent damage as this didn't happen yesterday. The firm I identified also uses a courier Foxgloves, not sure if it is the same one. The damage is at the bottom where a pin goes into the pole. The bit where the pin is attached has ripped and the fabric is ripped a bit alongside a seam, so even though it is not a large area, it isn't a simple patch unfortunately.
    In other news, my laptop is playing up and is going to be fixed tomorrow, so that is another expense I could have done without :( I am using OH's very annoying tablet at the moment.
    Must try to pick out some items to take to my sales unit tomorrow - looks like being a spendy week coming up, so some extra money would come in handy!

    Saw weirdish painting exhibition :undecided
    About to cook a crumble and dinner

    Thanks for all well wishes, feeling better but not really focussed :(

    Evening all :)
    Thanks for starting us off PF :)
    Spendy day today as I had to get my laptop fixed :( I have been fiddling with it since, as he had to reinstall Windows, and I therefore had to reinstate all my software, settings etc. Still not finished, but had enough for one day!
    Also had to do some food shopping, buy fuel and pay the milk bill :eek:
    Hoping to avoid spending tomorrow!
    Other things:
    HG fruit for breakfast
    Popped in to look at sales unit, must sort some items to take in there later in the week
    Still haven't taken photos of damage to tent :o

    Picked last of outdoor tomatoes and cucumbers, disposed of tomato plants in bin to avoid potential for nasty spores etc in compost

    Played with baby GS (and fed him raspberries) to give his Mum a rest. He was in a good mood today :)
    Used last of 'old' bread to make beans on toast for everyone for lunch
    Used up salad bits in fridge with dinner
    Not a very productive or moneysaving day unfortunately, though I guess getting the computer fixed was loads cheaper than buying a new one would have been!
