    I’ll look at the site too- thanks EH. We had our caravan parked at Carnon Downs between Truro and Falmouth. It’s changed ownership now to the camping and caravan club. We want to check it out when we eventually get our van.

    Not a no spends day today. We have a home shopping delivery coming tonight mainly to stock up on beer but there are a few other bits in there as well. We had to nip to the shop this morning on the way into work because I forgot to pack the dogs dinner for work, while we were there we have picked up the first few Christmas presents for this year. I will wrap them this weekend and try to keep on top of the wrapping this year.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores though. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is steak pie with chips and mint and chilli mushy peas.

    We got the house cleaning finished last night so we don't have anything to do tonight with it being Friday. I just have a load of washing to put away when I get home. Tonight's plan is to chill out on the sofa with a few beers and probably finish watching Squid Games.

    Today seems to be dragging on. It is very quiet at work today, loads of people have taken the day off and most of our clients finish at lunchtime on a Friday. The phone has not even rung today!!

    Roll on 4.45pm when I can finish and go home.

    Looking forward to a weekend at home this weekend even though it is going to be a very busy one.

    That was like me yesterday, I was clock watching all day. I hate it when it’s like that, I like to be busy. Although I’m WFH today it’s still quiet email wise. I think a lot of people are breaking up today for half term.

    It will be quite a spendy day today. The dog is at the groomers this morning and we need to go to the farm shop to stock up with fruit and vegetables and some meat.

    Busy day ahead. We also need to get the van out to wash it and tidy up the front garden.

    Breakfast and dinner are from stores though. Bacon and egg sandwich this morning and a ox tail curry tonight for dinner with sweet potato bhaji,  vegetable samosa,  rice and naan bread.

    We will be ready for a couple of beers later if we manage to get everything done today.

    It has been a super busy day. We managed to blitz the front garden while the dog was out of the way at the groomers. That looks a lot tidier. Hopefully thats the last time this year that the hedge will need cutting.

    The van is now clean inside and out. I just need to wash the bedding tomorrow and get that back on. It was absolutely filthy on the outside. It looks a lot better now. 

    We have been to one farm shop for the fruit and vegetables and nipped to the garden centre to pick the dogs food up and let the dog look at the fish. Had a free coffee while we were there as well. Not sure why but we seem to be having trouble getting the dogs food locally. It is only Lilys Kitchen so nothing out of the ordinary but most of the shops here seem to have stopped selling it for some reason.

    The garden centre had the Christmas stuff out. We didn't get anything this time but we are going back in a few weeks to pick some stuff up as presents and some decorations for us as well.

    Judging the amount of Lily Kitchen pet food donated to the foodbank a lot of pets maybe don't like it.
