    Mid week is here already.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is spag bol and garlic bread.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • load of washing
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • weigh in Wednesday (this will be interesting!)
    I'm at the hair dressers tonight so the other half is going to sort out the washing and cook dinner which is nice of him.

    Last day of the working week today for me. I have tomorrow off to take the dog to the groomers.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is salmon wellington and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house
    I have finally got to the bottom of the laundry so the washing machine can take a break today. Not a long one though, I need to start on the bedding tomorrow!

    Weigh in Wednesday showed a half pound gain for me which I am more than happy with considering the amount of nice food we ate and beer we drank while we were away. Back too it now so hopefully I can shed that half pound in the next couple of weeks.

    That's a great result with only half lb gain from your holiday.  I always put on nearer half stone!!!  Mainly because of the baguettes, butter, cheeses etc.  I'm sure you'll easily shift that small amount over the next week.  I'm still trying to shift the weight I put on at an AI holiday!  Think I've got about 3lb left to lose!

    I was surprised because we have eaten lots of cheese and bread and drunk lots and lots of beer!

    Think we must have been walking it off. We did plenty of miles every day.

    Feeling like I have cabin fever after two weeks outside and now being sat at a desk all day.................

    Can’t moan at half a pound on after a good holiday. You’ll soon shift that. 

    The first week back at work after a holiday is always the worst 🙁

    I have today off to take the dog to the groomers later. Its not felt like a day off so far though.

    Still had to get up and take the other half to work because I need the car!

    So far this morning I have, been to the farm shop, cleaned out the inside of the van, washed the dogs van bedding and the floor mats, now got the van bedding in the wash.

    Just sat down with a coffee then the next task is dusting the house. Would like to get the Lawns cut today if they dry out enough. Want to get our house bedding in the wash as well.

    Dogs at the groomers at 3pm then I will need to pick him up and pick the other half from work. I'm not going to get there in time for when they shut so he is going to walk up to the pub and I will pick him up there. Might have a beer while I'm there 😀

    Because I was so busy yesterday we have a quiet day today. The weather isn't great this morning so it is a good job I got the outdoor jobs done yesterday. 

    We had a lazy start this morning. It was 8am before the dog woke us up which is almost unheard of!

    Just had a couple of coffee and walked the dog and come back to a bacon and egg sandwich. 

    Got a load of washing in which will go on a dry cycle as well. No chance of hanging washing out to dry today.

    Going to go to the shops shortly and that is today's jobs done. Going to wash the outside of the van tomorrow when the weather forecast is better.

    Think we are going to walk to the pub at lunchtime for a few drinks. Then it will be back home and a chicken saag masala later on.

    Another lazy morning this morning. Could get used to this 😀

    Not got much to do today. Got some washing in which will hang on the line, thus is the last of the holiday washing now at last and we are going to wash the van today. 

    That won't take long so we will take the dog out for a good walk afterwards.

    Doing bacon and eggs for breakfast and we have a roast chicken dinner later on.
