A weekend of pottering sounds good. Best give DH a wide berth though if he’s moaning about the football today 😆

Hi SA, it was DS that went to watch the football, he wasn't too grumpy and had managed to get his shirt swapped for free in the club shop as he had the name of the footballer on it  that's been suspended and arrested this week  .

Frugality continues, we had a sausage sandwich for brekkie using whoops sausages and for lunch i've had some whoops crumpets  :.

Banana and walnut cake made also chucked in some OOD sultanas, leek and potato soup and cheesy leeks for tomorrow made, still have a leek left so will see how much chicken is left from tomorrows roast, hopefully make a chicken and leek pasta bake for the freezer. Cherry and coconut cake made used up OOD coconut, only me that eats this so will slice up and freeze. Mars bar cake setting in the fridge and bolognaise sauce made half has been used to make a lasagne and rest will be frozen for another time. Found a garlic bread in the freezer so won't make the pizza dough. 

Dogs have also been walked and log baskets filled, so a cup of tea and catch up with The Bay.

Hello, wind blew the rain out this morning and its sunny and very windy so i've pegged out, hopefully as its mostly tshirts and tea towels they should dry, have put hoodies and jumpers on the airer in the front room as the wood burner is lit and the room is toasty,did put towels in tumble dryer though.

4 items listed on ebay, only low value items but every penny counts and also counts as decluttering.

I'm also excited as we booked a little holiday for me and DH last night, its at the end of July first week of the school hols. The cottage is about half an hour from Robin hoods bay, in the middle of nowhere so lots of walks with the doggos and peace and quiet. Deposit has been paid and balance of £270 needs to be paid in May.  

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday xx

How lovely a holiday to look forward to 😄 I’ve never been to Robin Hood’s Bay but know people who go there and love it.

Hi penny! All your baking sounds fabulous, haven't had a leek and potato soup for ages.

Glad everything has settled in the house and your holiday is something exciting to look forward to. 

Hope work isn't too busy this week, H x

Evening all, awful nights sleep last night, kept waking up every hour between 1am and 4am so i'm shattered today.

Normal mortgage payment has gone out today and £100 over payment, so we are in the 68s and down to 11yrs 3 mths.

£25 put onto DS lunch account and no other spends.

More cases at work and staff down as well, I just want to get to Friday and keep bug free.

Hope everyone has had a good day xx

Just me and DH for tea tonight so just having left over chicken in a cheesy pasta sauce, will also bung in some mushrooms and a dodgy red pepper.

Not much else happening xx
