It was very busy the last time we went. We didn't end up going in the farm shop at all. We had plenty to drink at the bar though and we got some milk from the vending machine early the next morning before anyone was around.
Looking forward to going again but it will be a Saturday so we expect it to be super busy again. Will be happy just to have some drinks again to be fair.1 -
Another hot and sunny start to the day.
Breakfast and lunch are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals and we have both taken our packed lunches to work again today. We are at a friends house for dinner tonight after work. Rather them than me cooking in this heat!
No jobs to do tonight. We will take the dog for a walk in the park on the way to our friends house. He likes it in that park.2 -
@RelievedSheff thanks for the heads up about how busy it is, I’ll give it a miss I think. Had I gone all that way to not get in I’d 100% lose my temper, tbf I think we all would.Have a nice evening.We aren’t cooking either at the moment, just eating Greek salad and the odd bit of grilled chicken off the bbq.0

Mid week already and another hot day forecast.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chilli, rice and garlic bread. Anything but BBQ. We are feeling a bit BBQed out this week. Will still eat out in the garden though.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- cleaning the kitchen

We are away the same time as you although we'll be on the White Isle rather than Isle of Wight 😆
You've done really well with the weight loss so far so don't be disappointed if it's not as good as you'd hoped.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
While I remembered I have closed credit card 6 down today. Now that we have made our final balance transfer we no longer need that account open.
So that is closed and the direct debit cancelled with the bank.3 -
