    Hope you enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding.
    Yes, lots of water for a dog obsessed by it :smile:

    These walks used to be on our doorstep. They are a bit of a drive away from where we live now but we still enjoy them from time to time.

    It was a surprise how mild it was this morning. It's brought with it wet and windy weather though.

    £393 sent to the motorhome loan today. This time next year we will be almost there with that loan.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, 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
    • vacuuming the house
    I'm at the hairdressers tonight so the other half has kindly offered to do the vacuuming and cook dinner.

    Wow your totals are looking amazing - savings are catching up with the debts. I can't believe how quick that motorhome loan balance is coming down.

    It's Friday again. Another week has flown by.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both take our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is spicy chicken burger, chips, corn on the cob and coleslaw.

    No jobs to do tonight. It's another night on the sofa with a few beers and a film.

    Yesterday was spent cleaning and tidying the house and the van. We were finished by early afternoon so we made the most of the weather and walked up to the local pub for a few beers before coming home to a slow cooked curry.

    Not much happening today. We have taken the dog around the block and are just having another coffee before I make scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast.

    The weather forecast doesn't look great for the rest of the day. We need to go and get the car washed which we usually go for a walk in town while it's done but will see if the rain has arrived by then or not.

    Not much else going on. Think the dog is having a bath this afternoon and I'm doing a roast chicken with all the trimmings later on for dinner.

    🤣🤣🤣

    They do. He looks funny when only his legs are wet and they look like cocktail sticks 🤣🤣🤣

    He hasn't put his winter fat on this year. He normally bulks up a bit in winter and then sheds it through the summer. Will have to watch He doesn't lose too much over the summer this year.
