Escape to the country & living off savings

Skint_yet_Again

Thanks SQS. Made the most of the warm sunny day yesterday. Pottered in the garden, hung out washing, read my book. After lunch I had a walk round the village and picked up a bag of free pears left outside one of the houses. 

Today started very dark and raining. It’s brightening up now & sun is appearing. Have been to aquafit & called at asd@ for swede, stew beef and milk. My friend is back from her holiday and is popping round for a cuppa later

Utilities are a good price, especially for a house. 
Veggies and meals sound delicious as always. 

How's your shoulder and aqua classes going ☺️

Sorry haven’t posted for a while. Have had to return to south coast to nurse puppy dog who has had a cancerous tumour removed 😢 She has lots of painkillers & is sleeping a lot. DS & gf are still working long shifts. Not sure how long I will be here for. Have shuffled money & interest to fund extra petrol & buying some of the food. Will try and post another update soon

Hope PD is ok, sending positive thoughts.
Make sure you're getting rest too as it's hard nursing a furball who doesn't understand what's happening x

Good news from the vet that puppy dog is healing well and stitches out in 10 days 😊 so it looks like I will be here until then. 

Met up with my no-dogs friend and had a walk along the seafront while DS was home looking after the patient. Picked up a kebab for dinner £8.

Have shuffled more money around so I should have enough to cover extra costs while I am here. Will use money from the car pot for petrol home. 

Car pot = £900 (£50 per month)
Covers mot, service, tyres, brakes, repairs. MOT & service not due until December

Great news SYA about puppy dog 🥰 - how wonderful that you - through your hard work and planning - have the flexibility to relocate like this.  

Your ‘no dogs friend’ comment made me laugh.  🤣 are they allergic?  Generally opposed to dogs?! 😳

Lol SQS. On my old diary my main friends down south were described by how many dogs they had. 😆 My one dog friend, my 2 dogs friend and my no-dogs friend. 

DS is off work today so I have been for a long walk along the coastal path with my no-dogs friend while he looked after the dog. It’s so warm & sunny I even put sun cream on ☀️

It’s been a beautiful day hasn’t it - perfect day for a coastal walk!  

The trees that have already shed their leaves looked a bit put out today 🍁🍂 and some spring bulbs/ plants have already started peeping out their beds.  🌼💐

raising a glass of P!mms to you this eve with the last of our strawberries and limited stocks of mint that ain’t bolted. 

Enjoy your beautiful weekend xx

Great PD update, she's young and heals quickly. 
You're sounding relaxed playing nurse, getting out and about while catching up.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday 😊
