Morning allDidn't get round to posting yesterday as I was so busy! Hoovered upstairs first thing, then went outside for most of the rest of the day. I repointed the boundary wall (now exposed due to our having taken down another, redundant wall), and moved stuff about on the patio, swept up and tidied. Was worn out after all that and had an easy dinner.This morning I got up quite late (for me!), had breakfast and have walked the dog.I am going to tidy the garage this morning I think, and sort out my sales unit in town this afternoon.Also need to update my spending diary with weekly shop and DIY items bought on Wednesday. Nothing spent yesterday, and apart from paying the milk bill, I don't intend spending anything today either.4

Morning all,
Working in sainsburys all weekend. I'm off both jobs Monday and Tuesday so I'm going to see what the local garden centre has in store. It's also our anniversary Tuesday so we're going to the cinema Sunday and getting a take away.
