    Morning all!

    Much better sleep last night although I don't really feel raring to go. I think that the roof stuff is nibbling away at the back of my mind. Plus we have a house inspection on the 14th. They've never told us off but just can't settle knowing that I'm being checked up on. 

    I had an email telling me that they have calculated and approved my loss of notice pay. Except it makes no sense whatsoever. Spent an hour on the phone to my friend last night going through the figures and can't make it work. It's either too low or too high. Have emailed them back to ask how it was calculated.

    Trying to think of a list to focus me up today. Weather is damp again and I kinda need to get into the garden. Anyway:
    :cookie: B/L/D from stores. Must think of some lunch.
    :cookie: Treat more wood with stain as OH takes so many chunks out of it with his band gear - done
    :cookie: Fix chunks taken out of corners in the wall likewise - done, and given it a dab of paint.
    :cookie: Towels on a very hot wash to give the machine a clean at the same time - done. I've put them on the line but it's been mizzling all day
    :cookie: Crochet - done
    :star:Attempted to cut the grass and ragged some weeds out. 
    :star:Put the dining room back into some semblance of order 
    :star: Put away my washing

    Will add more as I go...

    Have a good one all

    Evening folks

    Where is everyone? All gone out for a roast dinner?!

    Bit of a busy day. It's a year since OH's dad died so m-i-l wanted us all at her house. We did our best to keep fairly distanced but who knows eh? Can't really go against the wishes of a grieving widow! Contrary to what you might expect, we all had a good laugh and it really took her mind off it. 

    I made some apple and raspberry jelly this morning using raspberries from the allotment and apples that were stored in the freezer. It looks fab and seemed to be setting well in the pan. Have dropped a jar in to the neighbours as they keep passing us beer. 

    We nipped to the allotment for an hour or so on the way back from m-i-l's and did a bit of tidying. OH really tired though as he's not sleeping well. Denies that it is related to the date but I suspect that it probably is the underlying cause. He's been in relatively good spirits considering, although he did have a funny five last night. 

    In MSE things, I just need to prep everything for tomorrow and start the week again!

    Have a good evening all

    That has been a very quick year @carrielovesfanta I suspect OH's tiredness is as you say in part due to the anniversary, hopefully, now he can it has past he will rest better.
