Escape to the country & living off savings

Hello SYA I've been absent but I've dipped into your diary often so not much to catch up on. 
You have totally been my inspiration for thinking I could live well on a small income and now I am trying it. 
Ive not been entirely successful but will keep trying

Great to hear from you dia so pleased you are settled in your new home. I’ve been over to visit your diary and have subscribed. Look forward to cheering you on

Glad you had a nice weekend Sya, I have your thread on book mark,  but how do you subscribe to someone's diary,?

It’s the same thing Tresinia 😊

Very cold this morning but sunny.  Woke up a bit snuffly. Went to aquafit and had a good workout. No whole hot roast chicken so I got a couple of peri-peri wings instead. Have had a snooze and feel better so I think I will go for a walk in the sun & take some books back to the old phone box 

Out with my friend tomorrow for lunch. Then starting decorating with DF on Thursday

I love a spring time refresh decorating SYA - it’s the perfect time to do it and it makes everything feel brand new and more special.  

Glad to hear you are feeling better now. 🥰

Was the Aquafit water chilly??

Sounds like a nice day so far.
I've started a yoga class on Tuesdays. Will try to stick to it as you do with aqua...
Enjoy your walk in the sun

Thanks Sya! I always worry I'm missing out on something lol.  You have inspired me to get cracking with my own decorating. I need to start with my kitchen which need all the walls washing down with sugar soap before re painting.  Keep putting it off

Good luck with the painting Tresinia. I prefer painting to wallpapering !!

Walk was lovely dia and a picked up a new book to read. 

Water was cold Suze 🥶 Feeling a bit grotty again today. 

Went out to spoons with my friend for brunch. She paid as I gave her a load of clothes to sell on vint’d & she put the proceeds in a “lunch” pot. Pottered round the shops after and bought oven cleaner and descaler spray for my kitchen sink. Not very glamorous 😂 Paid from household pot. 

DF came round for a cuppa this afternoon & we are making a start on the wallpapering tomorrow. 

Have just been outside burning old paperwork in my incinerator (aldee purchase). Once all the embers died down I poured water over everything from my watering can to make sure it was cool and ok to leave it. Just another box to burn 🙄

Lovely sunny day. Load of washing dried outside. 2 walls and 3rd window wall now papered. 

I have lost my voice again but friend told me to still pop round for a cuppa. DF is coming again tomorrow to do the feature patterned wall. I have cancelled aquafit. I don’t think the cold water helped on Tuesday. 

I’ve decided to move my bedroom carpet into the spare room and then get a new carpet for my bedroom and the stairs/ landing.

Oh SYA you are going thru the wars are the moment!  Hope you are back in the pink asap.

Wallpaper sounds exciting - I was telling my OH about your DF and he says he’s making him look bad 🤣🤣

enjoy your cuppa and I have to say you are made of stern stuff - they would have to PAY ME to get in chilly water 🥶
