    Haha can just see it now all the crocks flying about. What do you actually do with them in transit - do you have to wrap them in paper or something? Sorry if that’s a bit of a dumb question but I’ve never driven a motor home probably never will lol I’m just curious.

    We have melamine plates and bowls which we used on the boat. They are just stacked in a cupboard.

    The mugs and glasses are on some non slip mat on a shelf.

    The cupboards and drawers all have catches stop them flying open in transit. As does the fridge to stop the beer escaping.

    Not broken anything yet but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time. We had regular breakages on the boat!

    It should be a no spends day today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. It was crumpets for breakfast, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I am having jacket potato and cheese for my lunch and dinner tonight is pork chop with sweet potato wedges, beer battered onion rings, grilled cherry tomatoes and homemade mustard coleslaw.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • cleaning the kitchen
    • vacuuming out the van
    • making coleslaw and beer batter for the onion rings
    • walking the dog x 2
    Tonight when the other half gets home he is having an hour or so tinkering with a few bits on the van. There are a few annoying squeaks from the interior when it is being driven that he reckons he can quieten down with a few bits from work, so that is his job tonight.

    Good news about getting your vaccine tomorrow, hopefully you won’t get side effects, there doesn’t seem to be a pattern to who gets them and who doesn’t. Very impressed you make your own onion rings. Have a good day.

    How's the dog doing in the van? 
    Perhaps that's what your rear view is for - keeping an eye on him lol

    He loves it. He keeps trying to get in it every time we walk past it on the drive :smile:

    We keep him in the cab with us when we are travelling. He lays between the two seats, he is pretty good like that. As soon as we are parked up he then jumps on what has become his seat.

    It won't be a no spends day today. The other half is going to pick a few bits up from the shops on his way home after work tonight. It will be low spends though.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was toast, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I am having vegetable rice for my lunch and dinner tonight is slow cooked goat curry with pilau rice, onion bahji and chilli naan bread.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • vacuuming the house
    • dusting the house
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • walking the dog x 2
    I would normally do the bathrooms tomorrow but with having my jab tonight I have decided it is probably best to do them today, I don't know how rough I will feel tomorrow.

    We finally got the remote heating and hot water controls to work on the van last night but not without a load of messing about. It seems to be a bit temperamental to say the least. But we got there in the end. Can see that coming in handy while we are out and about.

    Definitely get the bathrooms done today just in case. Hopefully you’ll feel fine tomorrow but you never know.

    Hope all goes well with you jab. If its the AZ one I understand side effects are less with the second dose. Good luck.
