A sunny start to the day. It always makes it so much easier to get up and about when it's sunny.
It's van MOT and service day today. Hoping it is a straight forward one this year, we don't expect anything to be wrong with it and it is only due an oil and filter change this year.

Just heard that the van is ready to pick up and has passed with flying colours again. So all sorted for another year on the road.0

Back on the weight loss this weekend with a one and a quarter pound loss. Well chuffed with that.
The van is going to cost us a set of tyres. They are close to the legal limit so need changing. We were going to change the wheels and tyres anyway this year so it will just bring that forwards a few months. We will choose which ones we want and get them ordered.
Which mean I will be raiding the savings account. But the money is there for them so no credit which is a good thing 😀0 -
