Must have been the day for planning trips yesterday. That’s what we were doing too but for Bonnie Scotland not France.
We had a full breakfast this morning and I made potato cakes from some left over mash which were rather delicious and we’re heading to see ds for a roast turkey dinner.Bet the dog won’t chase a toad again….can’t have been very tasty 😳January spends - £587.581 -
While we were busy planning the trip the dogs were planning other things.
The lab was planning how he could fit in our dogs bed.
While ours was planning how he could escape to get at the chickens in the garden.

Indeed it has.Sun_Addict said:It’s been a beautiful day today. Really felt like spring is on its way.
We were out walking the dogs at 9am this morning in t shirts. Then back sat on the patio with coffee.
Very mild for February.
Spring is definitely on the way 😃1 -
Not a no spends day today. £393 sent to the motorhome loan this morning and I need to go to the shops after work and do the weekly shop.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. It was crumpets for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is slow cooked BBQ beef ribs with sweet potato chips, corn on the cob and coleslaw.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- load of washing
- putting the shopping away
