    Looking forward to seeing that number dip below £30k for you, 100% deserved with the dedication and consistency you've put in.

    Might be always something waiting but you're doing really well and seems you're prepared now mate. 

    Happy Friday.

    Happy Friday Alt. Hope you are having a good one? 👍 

    Counting down the days until the 19th when the van payment comes out and that total can start with a 2. This time it is staying that way as well!

    So the lie in didn't go well thanks to both the dog and the other half. One day I will stay in bed longer than 7am 🤔

    Busy day ahead today. We have plenty of jobs planned. We need to go to the farm shop, wash the outside of the van, clean the inside of the van, tidy up the gardens, wash the wheelie bins, go to the garden centre and somewhere in that lot walk the dog. 

    I have one load of washing in the machine which should be ready to hang out when we get out of bed. Mind you the other half says he heard it raining earlier so not sure the washing will dry on the line!

    Breakfast today is a full English and dinner later is some homemade pizzas on the bbq.

    You’ll be ready for a sit down tonight after all that. It’s spitting with rain here this morning, I think it’s meant to be dry later though.

    Well we have been foiled by the weather already. 

    First load of washing is now hung to dry in the spare bathroom. The bedding from the van will have to go on a wash dry cycle.

    It is thoroughly miserable outside this morning. 

    Just having a coffee and mulling over our plans.

    We have managed to get a fair amount of the jobs on our list done today.

    The van is washed outside and most of the inside is done. Just need to vacuum it out tomorrow. The bedding is washed, dried and back on the bed.

    The wheelie bins are cleaned out, dried and bin liners installed.

    One load of washing is hanging to dry, the van mats and dog blankets are washed and dried. 

    We didn't manage to get everything we wanted from the farmshop. They had sold out of a lot of stuff. We did get the pizza peel from the garden centre we wanted though and the dog got to see the fish. 

    We have just got home again. Don't know if the pizza will happen tonight, that is a bit weather dependent and the jury is still out on that one. We have decided we will have a take out if not.

    We have a poorly dog this evening. 

    We suspect he has snaffled something disgusting when we emptied the bins for cleaning. We didn't see him do it, but we very much expect this is the case.

    The other half is sleeping downstairs with him so he can make a quick exit into the kitchen or garden if necessary where it will be an easy clean up.

    We were both going to kip in the living room but the other half has sent me upstairs to bed and said he will stay with the dog.

    Mind you it's no hardship. The sofas are super comfy. We have both slept on them in the past.

    Hopefully nothing serious and just a dodgy tummy which will be sorted by tomorrow. 

    Looks like an early night tonight!
