    Yesterday was a busy day. We were all shattered and had an early night last night.

    Much quieter day in store today.

    Breakfast is a sausage and egg sandwich and dinner later is roast chicken.

    Today we are cleaning the van ready for next week's trip to Noth Norfolk. Its also having its MOT and service tomorrow so we want it clean for that.

    Not much else planned for today. We need to take the dog out if we can peel him out of bed. He rab himself ragged yesterday playing with the kids. Think he will have a quiet day today.

    We were glad when they went home 🤣🤣🤣

    Decided I will take advantage of the sunny weather today and get the van bedding and our bedding line dried if possible. Ours is in the wash now. Will be done shortly so will get it straight out to dry.

    I'm fed up of making beds today 🤣🤣🤣

    Having started cleaning this morning at 10am we have literally just sat down. It's been a long day.

    Glad it's only a short working week this week. Looking forward to getting out in the van now it is all sparkling clean inside and out.

    Been out to the garden centre with the dog to get him out of the house for am hour. He loved watching the fish and we were good and only had our free coffee. 

    Now sat down with a well earned beer.

    Definitely not a no spends day today. The van is in for it's annual MOT and service and the other half is at the dentists as well today. So quite a spendy day in store.

    £125 paid to the Paypal Credit account as well. Next month I will clear this account completely I think. Get it out of the way.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chicken thai curry with noodles and spring rolls made with the left overs from yesterdays roast dinner.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • filling the water tank on the van
    • giving the van one last clean around after the grubby mechanics have had their hands on it today
    • walking the dog

    Yep. That one gets paid off later this month. 26th I think it is this month.

    Get that gone and the Paypal Credit gone next month and then we just have the two cards and the van HP to pay off.
