    It will be a no spends day today. Not sure how many that makes. Think it's 4 which is  poor effort!!

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is stuffed chicken with rice and roasted cajun vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • load of washing
    It's been a busy day this morning at work. We have all been swapping desks around. Our team was a bit fragmented and spread across the office so we have now all moved together. It's taking some getting used too this new desk, although it does come with a few across the city.

    It will be a no spends day today. Number 5 for March.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. It was toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is slow cooked beef casserole with Yorkshire pudding.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the kitchen
    It is a super cold and frosty morning here this morning. It was beautiful walking the dog this morning with the sun peaking out from behind the trees and the mist rising from the fields. It has made for a nice drive into work and with teachers striking today the traffic has been really light.

    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the bathrooms

    It's another grey rainy day in store today. There is a weather warning out for persistent rain here today. Our garden is getting quite waterlogged now.
  • Miserable weather isn't it? I hope Spring makes an appearance soon, I'm fed up of the cold wet weather now!

    Yes. Think it will be a weekend at home for us next week if the weather forecast doesn't improve. Not made any plans.

    If we don't get out next weekend it will be Easter before we are back out again.

    In other news we have decided to leave cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming until Saturday morning. We have friends coming to stay over at the weekend so we will only do it again then anyway. So it has been a lazy evening.

    Not a no spends day today. I have nipped to the shop for bread this morning.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is pizza and a few beers on the sofa.

    No jobs tonight other than walking the dog. A relaxing night in store watching a couple of films.

    Our friends might not make it tomorrow now. We will know for certain later today but their son is poorly at the moment so it depends if he feels better later or not.

    We had advance notice of the A57 being shut tomorrow evening when we got home last night. They are moving a wide load from Worksop to Goole. The load is 85m long, 6m wide and weighs 500 tonnes, so we have no idea what that is. But if our friends don't make it to see us we might take the van down to one of the pubs on the route so that we can watch it on one of the trickiest roundabouts on the route.

    We know how to have an exciting weekend  :D 
  • If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.
  • 85 metres?! Blimey, that might be worth a watch regardless :)

    Not sure where in Worksop they have constructed something so large either!!
