Escape to the country & living off savings

Hi I’ve got the same vase and have an LED candle in. Looks lovely on a night

Thanks chapea 😊 I will look out for a candle. I have never heard of the store Suze suggested but it turns out we have one in the city so I will arrange a visit when my friend gets back off holiday. ☺️

Sunny morning and supposed to be warmer today. I’m just putting a load of washing in to hang out before I go to aquafit. Need to collect meds on my way home. I feel tired today so will rest when I get back.

Pool was cold today 🥶 so I did 30 minutes then got out and warmed up in the shower!  Collected meds from the chemist. Home & lunch then fell asleep 😂 

Lovely warm afternoon with a nice breeze not too hot. Have been weeding the garden & washed my pool stuff & hung out. Curry in the slow cooker. DF popped in and put another primer / undercoat on the top steps which have been uncovered. Now ready to rip up the stair carpet and paint all the skirtings next week. May also need to touch up wall paint in a few patches in the dining area. Had a look online and managed to get identical paint (sage green) online from wilco to be collected from the range.  £14.99 paid from diy pot. Am really chuffed I can still get the same colour from them. ☺️

Nice weather forecast for tomorrow. Lots of washing to do and I will weed another portion of the garden.

Have ordered 2 pairs of shoes from shoe zone on offer 2 for £10 with free delivery tomorrow ☺️

That’s a really good bargain SYA - 2 pairs of shoes for a tenner with free delivery! We lost our local shoe zone - very annoying.

New shoes arrived this morning and they are a great fit ☺️ One pair broderie anglaise white ballet pump style and one pair pink & white lace up pumps. 

Returns are free to store but if you don’t have a local one Suze it’s £2.50 to head office or free if they are faulty. 

DF has been round to put a final undercoat on the steps ready for a one-coat satin now. We are going to lift the stair carpet on Monday and do a trip to the tip with old carpet and couple of big branches we couldn’t get in the car last time. 

Somerset pork casserole is in the slow cooker today. I have hung washing out and done some weeding. Just relaxing now after a bacon sarnie 😋

Hey SYA - hope you are having a lovely weekend. 

Wanted to tell you about something new I tried today - it’s an app called Too Good to G@ - and I pre paid £3.30 for a ‘surprise box’ from Aldeee and got everything in the photo - there was another item that was one day out of date so not included that in photo. 

Cannot believe there is so much bacon LOL those will be going in freezer. 

I never tried it the app before - Hubble a bit devoed  tho that I didn’t go for a bakery goods one from Gr@ggs or St@rbucks 🤣 - they also do all ‘meat and fish’ surprise boxes from certain grocery stores as well and the price is to be at least 70% less than what they were going for in store.

Ive caved tho and bought a surprise box from St@rvucks tmoz  - OH bit happier with that hopefully LOL

PS anything that we can’t make use of I will
be putting them up for grabs for free  on Ol!o this evening 😊

You were lucky with the paint @Skint_yet_Again
You must be looking forward to the new carpet.
DF has been so helpful with the stairs
