Escape to the country & living off savings

Yay to the comfy recliner!  And lol about snoring in the garden (you aren’t alone if it helps! 😉)

Could you just leave the heavy chair outside if you had a tarp to cover it with? Keep the birds from decorating it.

As regards car cleaning I reckon as long as the bits you need to see out of are clean, the rest doesn’t matter!

Possibly not applicable to DF but if he receives P3nsi0n Cr3dit he would qualify for the s0cial tarr1f / h0m3 3ss3ntials rate.

You'll enjoy the recliner and agree about putting a tarp over it, A1D1 have them in.

As for the car, dedicated soft broom or flat mop and a bucket.

MF he doesn’t qualify for PC but thanks for the info, might help someone else. 

Sunny & warm day ☀️ Good session at aquafit. Home & lunch then DF came round with weedkiller for the ones I can’t pull up. We had a cuppa in the garden but not very peaceful with builders next door.

Thanks SQS and dia 😊

Lovely sunny day. Went to local high street for birthday cards. Got 4 for upcoming bdays & a stamp £5 from birthday pot. 

Popped in to see DF as his bb & phone have been cut off 😳 His provider phoned while I was there & apologised. He will be reconnected on Monday & they knocked £10 a month off his new contract & £50 compensation. Hopefully will all be sorted Monday & he is happy with the reduced price 👏

Walked to my friends house & then on to one of the village pubs.  Roast beef carvery, diet max cola & choc fudge cake. 2 course Wednesday special £10.65 plus drink total £12.65. No yorkie pud or stuffing, 4 small roast pots & lots of veg. Walked home again.

Managed to get a couple of jobs done off my list today. Have had my bob chopped off into a short pixie cut. £30 from annual bills pot. Tonight I am going out to ‘spoons for dinner with DF. Two meals out in one week 😁 It’s my turn to pay from entertainment fund.
