Visited a farmers market this morning in a town about 30 minutes drives for home, enjoying visiting as they have some lovely produce for sale, spent £2.85 on a leek, courgette, parsnip and a large lemon, love the fact that there everything loose, no packaging that is not needed.
While we were there called into Waitrose and picked up some Ketjap Manis, for a pork dish I want to make and I keep forgetting to buy the Ketjap, also bought some crumble topped mince pies as a treat.

Awake at silly o' clock this morning, on my third cup of tea! Work to do list and house list have been done and I have a dog walk to do before I start work.  Short working week, have  along weekend coming up.

Yesterday was a NSD as will be today as I haven't planned to visit anyone today just in case my car need work doing after the MOT on Friday. So thankful she pass okay. Just added sent MOT certificate to boss to my work list. 

Yesterday I got my batch cooking done and we now have a variety of minced beef meal to last the next three months, will work these meals into the meal plan on busier work days. Have a pension man calling this afternoon to fill out the form to transfer my funds to one fund, instead of the four separate funds as they are at the moment. One fund, one management fee,much easier to oversee.

Last work day before my long weekend and I will be working late so a few hours toil will be accumulated. Set myself a goal to sort the loft by the end of the month, there is a lot of unlisted stock up there along with other  items that we do not use or need. Want to have  a good sort of the Christmas decoration as we have so many, hopefully get some bits sold. I have made a start and emptied two tubs that had clothes in, found a few nice dresses that can go on Vinted and the rest can go to the clothes bank. 
Also managed to clean the greenhouse, bagged up the tomato plants, ready for the tip, there is another bag of rubbish to go also. Bag of bits to go to the charity shop on the weekend. Decluttering going well!
On the money front, old bank account being closed tomorrow so hoping the switch bonus will be in my new account in the next few days. Letter have also go out to my pension provider to request information for the transferee. Hopefully a few surveys will come my way before I have to leave the house later this morning.

Brightening up after a grey wet start to the day, currently have a line of washing out that I will be keeping a eye on just in case the rain returns.
Couple of dresses listed on Vinted this morning, sold a shirt at the beginning of the week first sale in weeks, when the funds appear in the bank will be moved over to my emergency fund.
Have a couple of things to list on Market Place, loft clear out has well and truly began. Will get a little bit more sorted this afternoon. Mr D has done a tip run this morning, including an old laptop, that was sitting in a cupboard, why do I keep these things?

Quick Market Place sale £10.00 into our cottage holiday spending money fund for next year.

Last day of my long weekend, will be going to a town not too far from us about 25 minutes drive, we haven't been for a long time, nice to have a change of scenery and they have a lovely high street with small independent shop and several charity shops, along with an indoor market. Looking to start my Christmas shopping, want to pick up deodorants, shower gels for stocking fillers.

Hopefully the rain holds off long enough for us to have a wander round.

Bank account switch has been completed and £200 has landed in my new account, its now sitting in the 8% interest account.

Later start this morning as I had a late finish yesterday evening, using the time to get a few listing up on eBay.

Hopefully the day will brighten up, raining at the moment, so hoping it will stop by the time I have to go out.

It is JUST beginning to brighten up here a little.  Such a disappointment after the lovely cold but really sunny day yesterday.
