Holding On and Letting Go 🎈

Sorry you are exhausted and in pain.

Irritating that your expensive pans were damaged. Lovely you had enough vouchers to put towards new. Sounds like you got a nice haul overall.

Enjoy your new dishwasher

I totally get the new dishwasher love. Having lived with and without them a dishwasher was on my must have list when we finally bought our home.

Its a pain about your pans but yay for clubcard vouchers! I used them to buy our crockery about 12 years ago and its still going strong.

Thank you SH - it was nothing a little rest and a hot bath couldn't cure.

There were a few 'small tragedies' around the house as the Sunflowers put it during their stay but it was just the result of people living.  There is a small knick out of one of my dining room cupboards as a result of one of these but it makes me smile when I see it as it reminds me of a happy time.  I don't mind my furniture having a few laughter lines 😁

When Mr F and I first moved in together, the house came with an integrated dishwasher.  Unfortunately it was a very poor quality model and only worked for one wash 😢  I'd been so excited about it as I'd never owned a dishwasher before and it was such a disappointment.  It's a luxury of course but one I'd rather not do without 😆

I have some D£nby cookware too and that just keeps going and going.  Such good value with the vouchers.

Proper Weekend

It's been a largely good weekend 😁  Mr F wanted to go out on a 'hike' on Saturday so I packed him and FDawg a lunch and sent them off into the great outdoors.  I would have gone with them if the plan was for a gentle stroll in the country but Mr F's 'hikes' are generally very physical and my shoulder is still a bit sore.

Whilst they were out I got some chores done and spent an hour and a half sorting out the veg patch.  Then spent the afternoon in a nice hot bubble bath catching up on my favourite TV shows 😁

I made Roasted Squash Risotto with Wensleydale for supper.  Then we settled down in front of the log burner with a bottle of red and watched a film.

A very relaxing and restorative day.

However, FDawg barked in the night and I heard Mr F get up to him.  In the morning I discovered that FDawg must have eaten something whilst out on his adventures which upset his tummy 😲 Let's just say my morning did not start well 😲  He was absolutely fine this morning though.

Mr F marched in the town Remembrance Parade today.  I drove us into town but Mr F had fogotten to hang the special lanyard on my steering wheel which lets me know that he's secretly plugged the car in to recharge the battery 😲  So now we need a new battery charger 😠  We stayed on after the ceremony for lunch in the town hotel.  It's being refurbished and the owner gave us a tour to show us how things were going.  It's all very smart and a much needed update.  We've been invited to the official opening 🥳

On the way home we popped into the industrial estate to pick up a couple of radiator valves as two of ours have failed - one is stuck open and one is stuck closed 🙄

We just had cheese and biscuits for supper as we were still quite full from lunch.  And I'm just finishing off the open wine bottle 🤭

Today's lunch costs will be met from this month's fun money and the radiator valves from this month's contingency fund.

It feels as though we've had a proper weekend rather than one filled with work and chores.  Work and chores need to be done of course but I don't think we were getting the balance right previously.

Hope your weekend has been a good one too

Love the idea of laughter Lines on furniture

Sounds like a lovely and as you say, balanced weekend.  Hope the new charger doesn't cost too much and hope FDawg is feeling better.
