Almost the weekend and it's payday tomorrow as well. 

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 and mint burgers with chips, corn on the cob and homemade coleslaw.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• load of washing
• vacuuming the house
• cleaning the bathrooms
• plugging in the van

A busy night tonight but it does mean that we can make a quick getaway tomorrow night if we get everything done tonight.

It's payday, so that makes it savings money shuffle day as well. £100 sent to the Premium Bonds, £200 sent to the savings account and £50 sent to the ISA.

We have also had a £400 underspend this month so that is going to the savings account as well.

Breakfast and lunch are from store today. It was toast for breakfast and we have both taken our packed lunches to work. Dinner tonight is at the pub we are staying at overnight.

No jobs to do tonight other than jump in the shower when we get hone and stick a few things on the van. We are not going far this weekend. I think the most distance we will be from home is 5 miles, but we have a few places to visit lined up and a couple of nice local overnight stops.

We had a lovely time at the pub last night. Some friends we haven't seen for a while popped in for a few drinks which was nice.



This morning we have been for a walk in the woods and then to the cafe for breakfast and been to the garden centre on the way to tonight's stopover. The dog is already shattered. 

It's surprisingly quiet here at tonight's stopover. It is usually busy with dog walkers. Made getting parked up easy.



Not much else going on today. Plenty of walking and then some chicken, jacket potato and coleslaw for dinner later.

We had a brilliant day at Cresswell Crags yesterday. Met some lovely people and had a really quiet night.

We walked the Crags at 10.30pm last night and it still wasn't properly dark. 



Today we are going to have a lazy morning here. Coffee and bacon sandwich to set us up for the day. 

Then we will head to get some gas for the van and pop to the farmshop on the way back home.

Not much planned for today. Will cut the grass and get a couple of loads of washing hung out to dry.

We had a lovely day at home yesterday. The weather was great for it. Managed to get the gardens tidied up and a few loads of washing hung out and dried. We decided to crack out the BBQ and did a rotisserie jerk chicken for dinner which was super tasty.
