Time to Face The Music

Enjoy your fish and chips!

A walk in Derbyshire with fish and chips sounds great. Enjoy!

Didn't end up with fish and chips in the end. Went there but we were there at a funny time between breakfast and lunch. So we went for a walk on another trail not too far away and had a coffee and pasty at a brewery shop cafe along the way.

The weather has been glorious, sunny and warm. Lots of people out walking today.



The dog is now shattered and asleep in his kitchen bed snoring.

We got home and set about some jobs. Van bedding back on, front garden tidied up, weeded, grass cut and hedge tidied up, dinner prepared and Christmas presents we have already bought wrapped.

The dog was upset he didn't have a present so I wrapped up one of his favourite toys for him to unwrap again 🙄

I thought that might have been where you were headed when you said you would probably get fish and chips and I can’t blame you, they’re lovely from there. 

Shame about the timing but it sounds like you still had a good day out.

Walked along that road many a time. I’ve actually been camping (proper camping in a tent) in Lathkilldale but the less said about that the better 😬

Not a no spends day today. We need to do the weekly shop after work tonight.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is beef in black bean sauce with noodles and spring rolls made with the leftovers from yesterdays roast dinner.

No jobs other than walking the dog and doing the shopping tonight. We had a productive weekend so we can have couple of nights off the house work.

Bacon and eggs is always a good way to start a busy day in my view! Lovely photos from your walk as well - it's an area we really want to explore more of!

Not a no spends day. I has to nip to the supermarket beginning with T this morning to get some bits of veg. They didn't have much in Aldi last night and what they did have looked rubbish. The shelves were pretty bare in both rather worryingly.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was some sourdough toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is jerk chicken thighs with rice and vegetables.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• load of washing (which will be hung in the spare bathroom to dry)

The traffic has been terrible this morning in Sheffield. It has taken us far longer than it should to get to work.

I have my CSCS test this morning. So fingers crossed that goes smoothly. The mobile test lorry is just trying to manoeuvre it's way around our tight works car park now

Good luck with the test. I remember only too well Mr SA having to do that test every so often to get his card.

Hope your CSCS goes well - I only recently found my old card in a long unused purse - feels like a whole different lifetime now! 

I sympathise on your traffic issues - we've got caught up in the fallout from the Dartford Crossing being closed thanks to the idiots who've climbed up the last few days - it's pushed a lot of additional traffic into the area we commute into.
