Simple living in the country - back to basics

Hurrah for the submission, everything crossed for you.  I've added 1.5 stone if we are on comparisons, and none of my 'good' work clothes for customer visits fit waily waily waily.

I did do half a stone off but then fell into some wine and cake last week.  Whoops.

Morning 😊

Thank you all! 😊 I am going to endeavour not to think about it for the next five months until they get round to making a decision 😂

So, today. Mr C is meant to be going to his dad's, but he didn't come to bed til about 4.30 and is still fast asleep... so I suspect may postpone. There are still road closures round here because of the floods - not many ones actual route, but things are a bit disrupted.

I've worked all through the last two weekends and am in high need of a day off! Not quite sure what I'll do with myself yet, partly depends if he's here or not. I'm booked on an aqua aerobics class at lunchtime. A friend has suggested meeting for a cuppa one day this week, so I might see if she's free today.

Also the chicken house desperately needs cleaning out, the run is full of mud, there's a giant pile of veg peelings etc that needs ferrying to the compost, the whole place could do with a good hoover, and I am very keen to get on with oiling the skirting boards! 

But I'm off today, working for 2 days, then off for another 6 (more strikes next week) so might save the DIY for then...

Congratulations on submitting your form and fingers crossed you are successful.

Now spend some time recharging your batteries especially as it has required so much of your leisure time.

Yes, definitely do something fun and relaxing today and save the diy for next week!

Well done Cheery 👍  Time to kick back a little and reward yourself for all the hard work.

I'll add a vote for making today about fun, relaxing stuff, or at the least real "quality of life" improvers, especially allowing you have time coming up for the DIY side of things!

Well, nothing much productive has been done yet, you'll be pleased to hear 😂 I went to aquarobics, which. Was great fun 😂 but surprisingly exhausting. Then we met a friend in a cafe, which was nice. Home now, and I'm worn out 😂

I think compost and chickens now, and then feet up. 

Oh, and I did the baking this morning, all looking cheerful, and I've added two months worth of water payments, and the bank rewards programme money, to the savings pot for this month. Off the top of my head I can't remember how much is in there now. 

The blinds we ordered for Mr Cheery's dad have turned up today too.

We've got a large damp patch by the kitchen window where the ring gets in when the wind is just in the wrong direction, which it clearly has been over the last few days. Had the dehumidifier on it for a few hours but it doesn't seem to be shrinking, most vexing. 

Right, best go and sort out this chicken run before my enthusiasm wears off any more...
