    It's absolutely chucking it down outside so the van bedding can wait. We are not going anywhere in it this weekend so it can wait until the weekend I think now.

    We actually had a dry day today so managed to remake the van bed.  The clean bedding has been sitting on the spare bed for nearly a week waiting for a dry day when we weren't doing anything else!  Forecast isn't good here for the next 10 days but we still want to get away for the weekend as we're meeting up with some friends in their motorhome and we haven't been out for a while either.

    Another dark and miserable start to the day. But it is half way through the working week. It's all down hill from here :) 

    I have been and filled the car up with diesel this morning. Made the mistake of doing it in Sheffield this morning. Fuel is very expensive here compared to at home. But we needed some and it is done now!

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is lamb chops, chips and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the kitchen
  • We use the PetrolPrices app for comparing fuel prices RS - it's not absolutely guaranteed to be right, but does mostly at least give an indication of whether it's worth filling up in a particular location.

    We are normally more on the ball with filling it up near home where it seems to be cheaper. Caught us by surprise that it needed refilling again. Doesn't seem like two minutes ago it was last filled up!!
