    Aww poor dog, sad to see Christmas go. At least you’re have a day to sort it tomorrow.

    Back to the grindstone for the other half today. He isn't overly happy about that 🤣🤣🤣

    It will be a no spends day today. Number 1 for January. 

    Breakfast was toast, the other half had taken his packed lunch to work, I am having some turkey with cheesy mash and Yorkshire pudding for my lunch and dinner tonight is venison madras with pilau rice and vegetable samosa.

    My task for today is to give the van a good interior clean. It won't take too long. The mats needs a run through the washing machine and if yesterday's load of washing is dry I will do the bedding as well. If not that can wait until the weekend. 

    Other than that it is a quiet day for me. I will walk the dog a couple of times locally and chill out in front of the TV.

    At least the roads shouldn’t be busy for OH going into work.

    He should have a good run there and back today.

    I'm just waiting for it to be a suitable time to take the vacuum cleaner outside.

    Yes definitely. It's a fantastic time of year to go away.

    First day back at work for the new year. This will be a shock to the system.

    A busy day on the payments front. £300 to credit card 7, £200 to the savings account, £100 to the Premium Bonds account, mortgage payment day and I have added an extra £25 to the savings account just to round it up to a nice number and get us the the £2k mark.

    Not a no spends day today. I need to go and do the shopping after work tonight.

    Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is salmon, stir fired vegetables and noodles.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • shopping
    • load of washing
    • bathing the dog
