    Not the best day for a site visit. Typical after the lovely weather yesterday.
    No. It's almost like they picked the worst day of the week on purpose!
  • Hope you don’t get too soggy or blown away! It’s wild out there today...

    It was horrible out there this morning. Still I'm back home in the warm now having a hot brew. Back out again in 20 minutes though to take the dog for his lunchtime walk but I will come back to a bowl of hot soup and some crusty bread so not too bad.

    Forgot that one of the Ebay items finishes today. It has bid up quite nicely and is going to sell for far more than we expected.

    That's good news.  Is the money from the boat stuff going into the motorhome fund?

    It has just sold now. The other half has packaged it up and is taking it to the post office as we speak.

    The money from the boat stuff is getting put in the savings account for now. We will sort out what we get with it at a later date but it is likely to be something for the motorhome. Not sure yet. It isn't getting lost on debt repayments though we are certain of that.

    It was a pleasant surprise to come home too yes. 

    Excited to get the first of the outboard engines for sale now. It's going to have to wait until Sunday though when the weather is drier. Got to shift all of the cars around and get the car out of the garage to get to the engine. That should fetch, we reckon between £200-£300 for the savings pot.

    When the engines are gone that is the last of the more expensive items though, we think!

    It will be a no spends day today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, lunch will be some cheese, crackers and pickles and dinner tonight is scampi, chips and mint and chilli mushy peas.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • walking the dog
    The other half is having a lie in this morning with the dog. Can't say I blame them the weather is horrible out. He is tinkering about in the house again today with a few odd jobs. He finished off the downstairs loo yesterday. It looks great. Will post some pictures later when I get the chance to take some.
