15months to debt free - I hope

Well done on the walking.  I hope you don't have to wait too long for everything to be wound up, you've been waiting long enough!

I hope you all manage to keep cool over the next few days. Horrible heatwaves.

I have written to my local councillor as yet again our recycling hasnt been collected. It wouldnt be so bad if our council didnt collect food waste so our bin is now stinking as there are the cores of kidneys and some rather nasty spinach which I completely forgot about and was in a cupboard not the fridge. I dont envy the collectors assuming they collect this week. The excuse I have been given is that there is a shortage of HGV drivers. The garden waste is completely round the twist. On the website it said ours wouldnt be collected. It was! Then this afternoon I received a meassage via the council app telling me it wouldnt be collected tomorrow but put it out anyway and they would come on Wednesday.

Usual small shop this morning and then very little else to report.

Mr LH is driving me nuts going on and on about different cars he wants. I dont really care as long as it doesnt cost over the limit I have given him. The solicitor has agreed to release enough for his car on completion day and then perhaps he will stop telling me all about different ones. 

I am at the theatre on Friday - completion day so if the solicitor wants me after about 2.15 he will be out of luck. I am going to instruct him to ring our landline after that time and that I authorise Mr LH to answer any queries. Hopefully it will be done before then.

Have a good evening. Incidentally it is sort of raining here but not enough to settle the dust..

 A horribly hot and sticky day today. 

A load of washing done on 30 degrees. Ther will be a couple of items to iron tomorrow.

Managed to knock the sugar bowl over just after I had filled it. Why does it go so far. The floor is still sticky despite being swept and washed twice.

Some money shuffling done and bank account checked.

Dropped a condolence card tto a friend who has just lost her dog. I suspect we will see her tomorrow so will get some flowers when I go out to the hardresser in the morning.

I have now lost just over a stone so the walking and healthier eating is working. I am not spending so much on food either despite a grape addiction.

Will be an early walk tonight so I am back for sewing bee but it may be shorter than usual if its still hot.

Have good evening..

A stone is fab, well done you.  I love to snack on frozen blueberries on an evening

A grape addition isn't bad. They are mostly water. At least you aren't addicted to pain du chocolate. (I secretly think I am).

My last addiction was Milky bars and not the small ones. I dont know why I am finding things a bit easier now but I am just going with it . I still sometimes struggle to get past the chocolate in the sm but as I am looking forward to a new wardrobe it will be worth it. 

Hairdresser this morning was ok. Bought some flowers for our friends whose dog was pts yesterday and they called in this afternoon. They are absolutely heart broken.

Laundry put away but no ironing done so thats a job for tomeorrow. 

I have dropped the sugar bowl again but this time it broke. It was only a pyrex one but I am quite upset as we have had it since we got married over 50 years ago. I will try to find another one but not hopeful as it wasnt a popular design.

Garden watered using the last of what was in the water butt. No rain in the forecast for at least a week so will have to save the waste water from the kitchen.

I have received the invoice from the solicitor ready for Fridays completion and have let him know I wont be available most of the afternoon. Hopefully it should all be done before I am at the theatre but delays can happen. A friend of our didnt get her keys until  about 6pm. 

On that note I will say have a good evening.

Fingers crossed for you it all goes smoothly and promptly on Friday

Phone call from the solicitor or rather his assistant to confirm my bank details. Shame I was about to put my card into a cashpoint machine so reversed the scooter away as I knew I would need said bank card not to mention my glasses. All sorted. 

It still feels very unreal to be so close but the champagne is already in the fridge. We will enjoy that with fish and chips when I get home from the theatre. As I wont get home until between 6.30 and 7pm as it is quite a long bus journey and a bit of a walk to get to the bus stop.

Latest supply of grapes bought this morning. Cant be without them. A bottle of vodka and some strawberries also bought ready for Mr LH to make strawberry vodka for a friends Christmas present.

Ironing done before it got too warm and kitchen floor washed.

Nothing else today so have   good evening.

I bet a huge weight will be lifted from your shoulders tomorrow. Champagne with fish and chips sounds like the perfect celebration. 

Well done on the weight loss too.
