    Our dog loves the sunshine. She was outside all day yesterday. 

    Where are you off to next weekend?
    Next weekend we are off to Cheddar Gorge. 

    We have both said we are going away next weekend because it's cheaper than staying at home 🤣🤣🤣

    There’s a tiny stream on the park across the road from our house, our dog always finds the muddy bit 😬

    £393 sent to the motorhome HP loan today. 

    Not a no spends day we have to go and do the shopping after work. Don't need much this week though so hopefully it should be a cheap one.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was porridge, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is the legs from last night's rotisserie jerk chicken reheated and served with lime and coriander rice and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the insides of the windows
    • shopping

    We reckon it's probably about 21 or 22 years since we last went to Cheddar Gorge and that was only for an hour or so on our way passing. Looking forward to a proper stay there.

    Not a no spends day today. The dog is at the vets tonight for his annual check up and vaccinations. This is paid for via his healthcare plan so no spends there but as a treat afterwards we are going to get a KFC for dinner.

    Breakfast and lunch are from stores. It was toast for breakfast and we have both taken our packed lunches to work.

    No jobs to do tonight as we are taking the dog to the vets. We are going to take him for a nice long walk in the park over the road from the vets when he has been in there.
  • We must be in sync, our dog has his on Friday :D 
    Enjoy the KFC!
