Time to Face The Music

Well done. I was like that with eBay at one time, it gets quite addictive I agree 😆

The worst part is packaging stuff up to post. It took ages this afternoon wrapping stuff in bubble wrap then wrapping it in parcel paper. Managed to rope in the other half though so we shared the job.

The dog is still crashed out after our lunchtime walk. We only did 3.5 miles but we explored a different part of the woods and he was charging around like an idiot, was paddling in a beautiful clear stream and he had a good swim in a lovely clear pond we found.

No photos unfortunately I forgot to take my phone 🤨

Just sat down with a few beers now. The lamb shoulder is marinating in the fridge ready to be slow roasted before too long. Veggies are prepped.

Probably first weekend I'm not jealous of your fry up I cooked one here ha. 

Great news re eBay and agree re packaging - can imagine the stuff you're packing up are odd shapes too.

Wife is putting some stuff up tomorrow on depop - 100 she's the only 30 odd year old using that lol but she !!!!!! loves it, gets a massive buzz when some kid buys her old !!!!!! lol.

🤣🤣🤣 all odd shapes yes!

The other half is furloughed next week so he is going to dig the outboard engines out of the garage to stick on Ebay next week.

They should be decent money earners. Collection only on those though so no wrapping to do.

Your garage is a real treasure trove 😆 Might as well get rid and put the money towards the camper van. My dog hates me taking photos, deliberately pulls on her lead the minute I get a good shot.

Honestly we didn't realise how much boat crap we had stashed around 🤔

I dud threaten the other half with getting rid of the car in there if it doesn't go on the road this year. 😯

Apparently it will be roadworthy this summer so we can use it!

Ha how long has the car been off the road?

£150 paid to Card 5 today.

It won't be a no spends day today. We have a couple of parcels to post and the other half is getting some treatment to put on the bit of fence that we have got and the gate.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores though. Breakfast was crumpets, lunch will be jacket potato and chilli and dinner tonight is a lamb goulash made with the leftovers from last nights roast served with some rice and some garlic bread.

Today's jobs include:

• working from home
• vacuuming the house
• dusting the house
• walking the dog

The other half is doing outside jobs today before the storms that are forecast hit later in the week. He has the fence to paint, a herb container to mount on the garage wall and plant some rosemary in there for me and he is planting some carrot seeds. We are going to have a go at growing some of our own vegetables this year while we will be at home more than usual.

Just under four years. There is nothing wrong with it, we just have not had the time to use it. It just needs to go for an MOT and a service and it should be good to go again.

I assume your OH will do the service on the car but less than a day of garage time there although the brakes might be stuck after all this time? Probably want tyres too but not going to be expensive and as you’ve no longer got the boat probably lots of opportunity to get out in the car. I’m missing my ftype my mate with the MG invited me to go to some (hopefully happening) event.
