15months to debt free - I hope

Please be careful up ladders by yourself! Glad the gutter isn't in much need.

Lovely to have a lift back from your procedure, and extra nice that you're doing your primani-fan friend a favour by having it 😁

I took Bear out about an hour ago to the sound of a British winter - car engines idling as owners scraped their windows. It is frosty here and am sat with the back door open for Bear. That is not going to last long so he will probably go upstairs to keep Mr LH company. Not that he will notice as I wont see him until lunchtime. A load of washing in the machine but nothing else done yet. Weigh in later.

Evening all.

We went shopping as planned  and when we got home we found the freezer wasnt working. Slight panic as it is fairly full. I was checking prices for a new on line (being grateful for our emergency fund) and Mr LH went to measure the existing one as it needs to fit in a particular space and found that somehow it had got turned off. It is now down to temperature so all is well and we have saved some money. The shopping came in under budget as well so a double saving today.

I have ordered some new net curtains which should be here soon and then I can finish off cleaning the lounge. Its not worth taking the nets and curtains down when I will have to do part of it again soon so just dusted what I have already done.

I still havent planted tomato seeds as again it was too cold to be in the garden butmight get it done in the morning before the rain starts. Another small sale which I will post in the morning.

Cashed out £10 on surveys today and have managed to get some surveys today so about 25% towards another £10.

Plodding through the book on Chinese history. itis a semi academic book so I am really having to concentrate reading it. Due to concentration problems I am takng it very slowly and only reading for short periods.

I dont think there is anything else today except I have lost another 2lbs.

Meals. Breakfast - oats and fruit, Lunch - salad, scrambled egg, b&b, dinner slow cooked lamb chops, boiled potato, runner beans, carrots and cabbage.  Snacks -  2 spoons fat free natural youghurt and grapes. I do love grapes cant you tell. Shopping was tough as I really fancied some chocolate but managed to resist but had an extra  piece of b&b. It wasnt the same but filled agap until dinner.

Hope you have a quiet evening.

Phew to the freezer, glad it was something simple. It’s the one appliance I dread breaking down. 

Well done on another weight loss 👏

What a relief re the freezer! Any ideas on how it got switched off?

Well done on another sale! I'm hoping to be well enough to do car boot sale this weekend, but as I've said that the last four or five weeks I'm not booking anything yet!

I have no idea how the freezer got switched off. i am just glad Mr LH found it before I bought a new one.

I stopped doing car boot sales a few years back as we have a choice of two. One you have to get up at the crack of dawn for as it starts about 6am the other starts at midday but the field its held in is so full of ruts it is dangerous for me even just behind our tables and Mr LH refuses to wreck the cars suspension anyway. It is also use by sheep for much of the time so you also have to avoid what they leave behind.

Evening all.

Another miserable day with drizzle and general dampness. What my Scottish friend would call dreich.

The tomato seeds are planted at last and the seedlings watered. Parcel posted so thats done.

I am trying to think what we can have for dinner on Friday as I really dont want to have to faff about after my op but neither do I want to put anything in the oven as I would have to bend down to get it in and out and bending over is someting I am not allowed to do for a couple of weeks. I could kneel down but not only is get down painful but get up is even worse. I am coming down on the side of a stew as I can throw it in the slow cooker before I leave and leave potatoes ready peeled. If Mr LH would go to the chippy we could have fish and chips but although he will take me I refuse to go in with an eye shield looking rather stupid. Yes I pure vanity but there it is.

 I also need to think of something to take for lunch as I need to leave home at 10.30 for my appointment at 12.30. That gets me there early but there can be delays on the way. I am thinking a sandwich of some description but cant decide what. My choice would be egg mayo but I dont think others would appreciate that.

1 load of washing done and the towels I washed yesterday have been put away.

Bear was not good with another dog today and took great exception to it walking where he wanted to go. This was the worst he has been for some time and he then did the same thing when the postman was walking down the same bit of pavement. He has been so good recently but we know there will be set backs. Tomorrow is aanother day.

Not a no spend day due to the parcel and neither will tomorrow be as I will need to buy some mushrooms to put in the stew.

Thats it for now. Have a quiet evening.
