Love the part of Derbyshire you went to we often spend an afternoon going for a ride there for a coffee,  walk around and call in a pub on the way home. We’ve never ventured in the MH yet.

Its a nice park up. Bit sloping even on ramps though. Really quiet overnight. 

We will go back this winter.

Good morning all.

A weekend at home for us this weekend. We need to get six Christmas cakes baked.  Three today and three tomorrow. 

The dog had a bath last night so he smells nice for his morning snuggle this morning. 

We will get up soon and get going. Will have a couple of coffee's, walk the dog and have breakfast.  Bacon and eggs this morning. 

Then we need to call to the farm shop and into town to find some tupperware boxes . Probably B and M now for those. Must pick up some Christmas wrapping paper as well. Make a start on wrapping the hampers later I think.

We are having a bbq for dinner later so will try and cut the Lawns today as well. 

Sounds like enough for one day to me. The van cleaning and bedding can get done tomorrow.

Wow 6 Christmas cakes! You’re definitely going to be busy! You’re very well organised thinking about wrapping presents already. Enjoy your BBQ.

It is round two with the Christmas cakes today.

Need to tidy up the front garden as well. Wedid the back yesterday. Shouldn't take long though.

The bbq needs a good scrub before it is put away for the winter.

Then later it is Christmas present wrapping. 

Breakfast is bacon and eggs this morning and dinner later is roast goat and all the trimmings.

We are going to take the dog to some of our old walks in Sheffield today as well. Going to call in on some family while we are there.

Another busy day. Will be glad to go back to work tomorrow for a rest.

I don’t know how you’re going to fit all that lot into one day no lazy Sunday for you 😆

We have literally just sat down after starting at 8am this morning. 

It's been a busy day but we are now sorted. 

The cakes are cooling. The house smells very Christmasy. Just prepped dinner so that is ready for later. The Christmas hampers are wrapped and ready to go.

We feel like we have achieved a lot today 😀

The dog loved his two walks this morning and seeing family. He is shattered now and fast asleep. He will enjoy his roast dinner later.



I think we can  have a cold beer now!

Great overall reduction on the debt over the last three years.

I am very impressed with your Xmas preps. I haven’t started yet.

Good Morning and welcome to the start of a new working week.

It has been an expensive morning. I have ordered the other half's Christmas presents this morning, a pair of consecutively numbered private plates for the van and the car. He was gutted when we missed a pair earlier in the year but some new numbers have recently been released so I have got in there before I missed them again. They were not expensive as private plates go. £606 for the pair including transfer fees and new plates. He will be like a dog with two tails on Christmas morning  

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is goat enchiladas made with leftovers from yesterdays roast dinner.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• weekly shop
