Seasidegal's Scrimpy Retirement Diary!

Seasidegal58

Thanks @beanielou and @EssexHebridean 😃

I finished cleaning and decluttering under the kitchen sink and the fridge. I found a couple of duplicates under the sink but have made a note of what I have in there so at least I won't triplicate!

The fridge is nice and sparkling now. It wasn't too bad product wise. The only things I have cleared out is some spice pastes and mustard which had been in there a while. I think sometimes just because they are made up of spices and vinegars one can sometimes feel that they last longer than they actually should.  There was also a bottle of Bailey's left over from Christmas and which had one glass full left in it. I don't normally drink Bailey's unless it's Christmas but just to get rid of the bottle I'm having it tonight!😃

Thanks @milann and @EssexHebridean. 😃
I'm off later to stay with one of my besties who lives in London - coming back at the weekend. I haven't stayed with her for ages - we have tended to meet up in the evening after I used to finish work.  She has been retired for a few years and now I'm retired it seemed like a plan as her husband is working away for a few weeks. 
So far this week I've met up for coffee with an ex-colleague and carried on decluttering and cleaning the kitchen, including the freezer, larders, oven, microwave, junk drawer, cutlery, crockery, glasses and utensils cupboards. 

SCRIMPY MSE THINGS 
Spends include coffees out, light bulbs for living room lamps, birthday cards, John Lewis voucher for friend's birthday, and rail ticket for today, 
I also got a delivery from Sainsbury. I wasn't impressed with my last Tesco delivery so decided to try Sainsbury. Also, I had a leaflet through offering £18 off your Sainsbury's order if you ordered over £60. It's my friends' Golden Wedding anniversary later this month so I bought a bottle of champagne for their present in with my order. This took it to over £60 so basically I got £18 off the champagne!😃👍

Enjoy your time away. 

Well done on the £18 off champers 🍾

Well over a month off the boards!  Not good but I felt a bit mwah and also came down with covid which left me feeling rather lethargic. 😷🦠
Anyway I'm ok now, apart from a lingering cough which is annoying. 😮‍💨
Major news is that my one bed flat went onto the market yesterday and I have a few two beds to view next week. Quite exciting although I'm feeling a bit panicky about it all!  As I get older I don't like change but have decided to go for it!

Will be back later with more of an update, but have got to get back to decluttering. I'm currently on underwear at the moment.....😉
Hope everyone is well - I've also got a mammoth diaries reading session to get through as well to get back up to date with everyone!😱
