What small DFW things will you do w/c 22nd June?

Afternoon all

Very hot here today - got some bits done this morning before it got quite so hot and sticky. Still on a bit of a go-slow, I do a bit and then sit down a bit etc - but I have:

Early dog walk 5 am

Home grown strawberries with breakfast

Stripped bed off and washed linen. Now line dried in the hot sun but need to wait for OH to come in from the workshop to help me turn the mattress before bed can be remade.

Hoovered through downstairs, put some items away (we must be an untidy pair!)

Daily stuff, cleaned kitchen sink, emptied bin, put recycling out, cleaned loo and basin in bathroom, changed towels etc

Shopping delivery from Icyland earlier, mostly frozen stuff, as I find it better and cheaper than Mr A. All put away.

Investigated odd text from Mr A regarding a delivery scheduled for today that I had cancelled. Apparently they have cancelled it because they couldn't take payment.... presumably because I had already cancelled it (??) Will see what happens wrt the order that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I know there is no problem with the bank account, so there seems to be some confusion their end.

Found an old wooden box in the garage, and asked OH to drill holes in the bottom and line it with old compost bag plastic so I can use it for a planter

Lunch was a use-up toastie thing

Dinner will be the remains of the spinach pie with potatoes and salad

Still need to check banks, remake bed and water the garden.

Hope everyone is managing to keep cool - it is cool in the house, but really hot in the garden.

Glad you’ve found your mojo ziggy - so thoughtful of you to send homemade cards non sure  the recipients will be thrilled. That reminds me about a set of homemade cards I bought years ago. I’ve used lots but there are still some left- will get them out and have a look - thank you 😊 

todays list:
☀️ I woke early so have done some research online for something that we want to purchase that I know nothing about. Feel like I have more info now to discuss with mr PF later 
☀️ Check banking. I’d never thought of having all my DD on the same day. Thanks baileys babe and Dawn for flagging it. One for me to work out how to do that. 

☀️ Spend some of today outside making the most of the weather 
☀️ Round up of fridge for lunches 
☀️amend food order after other delivery yesterday. Agree that Icyland are better quality than mr a for lots of products Dawn. The strawberries they delivered yesterday were far superior to the the supermarket ones we had delivered last week and were the same price! 

☀️ Some knitting 
☀️ Watch final of the sewing bee
☀️ Move a gifted piece of furniture in situ. 

☀️ Sort that last of the smalls (vast) colouring pen situation out. I’m down to sharpening the coloured pencils 😂
☀️ Look online to see if the charity shop are doing another collection point anytime soon 
☀️ call opticians as my glasses have gone wonky and they need straightening but need to understand what procedures they have in place 

have a lovely day all, enjoy the weather whilst it’s here. Next week doesn’t look anywhere near as good.

have already checked bank and spreadsheet this morning and have cleared 50% of the cc I'm targeting at the moment. Still a long way to go, but feels good :-D Today I'll:

- make a list of everything I might be tempted to buy in July that I really don't need

- go through my baskets and find some elastic for another face mask - I know I have some somewhere :-)

Morning all

That is some impressive debt clearance @Ellie_BB

Up early as usual and went for a walk with the dog. It really is the best time to get anything done this hot weather! I have also:

Hoovered and dusted furniture in bedroom, cleaned bathroom, put a load of washing on, kitchen clean up etc, opened greenhouse, picked some mangetout and a handful of loganberries 

Coffee time now! Other plans for today include:

Wash a garden planter for my sales unit - it is all covered in spiders webs and won't sell like that!

Put some stuff away in the garage

Pack a couple of ebay items ready to post, and print out the paperwork for the post office

Maybe list a couple more items

Dust some of the downstairs furniture. Is it me or are things getting really dusty with the windows and doors open all the time?

Sort out the loft conversion / spare bedroom as it has become a bit of a dumping ground.

All food from home, got meatballs cooked in the fridge and can just reheat them in tomato sauce to go with pasta and grated cheese for dinner. Will add mangetout!

☀️Check banking 
☀️knitting
☀️ Small bit of housework 
☀️ Bake something

Morning folks

Grey and rainy here. Mixed feelings as I'm glad it's cooler as my bedroom is currently 25 degrees but concerned about leaking roof.
Also of concern is that my phone charger has vanished. I am currently blaming OH for tidying it away somewere random. Suspiciously found a lead-less plug in the fruit bowl which is def an OH action. Found. OH had randomly chosen to dismember it, add the plug to the fruit bowl, and mix the lead in with the leads of his electric drum kit 

In other things today, usual trip up to the butchers and the supermarket for click and collect. Not sure what I want to do today as am feeling a bit groggy. Combo of heat, hayfever and period pain. it might just be a case of knitting and general potteirng, depending on the weather. 

The proper list:
B/L/D from stores - done
Reconcile budget sheet (if phone charger found)
Generally not spending - done
Poss have a few thoughts about back of allotment. - been up there for 3 hours on my own and had a good tidy! We'd originally made a pile of all the useful scrap wood but it wasn't tidy. Now that the back of the plot is clear, I stacked it all neatly and started the mission of expanding the soft fruit bed. At the moment, the blackcurrants and raspberries are all jumbled together and you can't get into them to pick or weed.

Have a good one all

Morning, yes much cooler today than yesterday. Though I was shocked at scenes from Bournemouth - as much as I wish I could have been at the beach I can’t understand why people would take such risks. Anyway, not much planned for today:

• Check bank and update budget - Done
• Purge emails- Done
  
• Prepare chicken for lunch - Done
  
• Dinner - spaghetti bol
  
• Freezer Inventory - Done
• Weekly Meal Plan

Counting the days to payday...4 more days to go!
