Escape to the country & living off savings

Skint_yet_Again

Thanks dia I had a lovely day full of baby cuddles 🥰 Went for a walk with baby & niece and dog in the shade of the woods. Took some painkillers before setting off & was ok once I got going. 

Spent the rest of the afternoon at home with feet up reading my book & they do feel a lot better today. The ice cream van came down the street so it would have been rude not to 😆 Ice cream sundae with flake & nuts £2. 😋

Lovely and sunny day again today. Weeds are coming through the stones again in back garden so I will try and do some weeding.

Glad your painful feet are recovering.
Just hearing the music from an ice-cream van makes me feel happy...
Enjoy your sunny Sunday

Thanks dia. I did a bit of weeding & half the garden is done. DF is coming tomorrow to help & we will try to remove an overgrown black elderberry. 

One load of washing dried on the line. The rest of the morning was spent sitting out in my chair reading my book. Had lunch in the garden. 

Feet are still painful so I went for a walk to loosen them up. Managed to ignore the ice cream van but have given in this evening and had a slice of carrot cake from the freezer. 

Current account balance £54.19. I have enough meals to last until I go to my sisters on Friday. I will use the holiday pot for petrol.

Those ice cream sundaes have played on my mind SYA & I've gone & bought a tub of ice cream , box of choc flakes, strawberry sauce & chopped up some nuts ..that should keep me going & off the diet I keep putting off !!! Hope it's sunny for you today

Sorry for leading you astray thriftylynny 🤦‍♀️

No sun here today & it is a bit cooler. Have done some gardening with DF. Then I had lunch and went for a walk. Ankle feels much better today. 

I have renewed DF’s magazine subscription for Father’s Day / birthday £38. Paid from xmas/ birthday pot. 

No aquafit tomorrow. I have my hospital  diabetic eye test. DF is going to drop me off then go shopping while I have the test. I hate having the drops in & wont be able to see properly for a couple of hours.

Nobody likes the eye drops SYA, hope it goes well.
The thing about living so high up for me is I just can't be bothered to go all the way down to the ice cream van, which makes me a little sad but does save me money!!

Hope appointments go ok.
Glad you have DF to support you

Thanks Time2count and dia 😊

The local hospital is only 10 minutes by car but we don’t have a bus route that way anymore so DF said he will drop me off and pick me up again. Otherwise I would have asked my friend to take me or get a taxi. Worse case scenario I could change to the hospital in the city and get a bus

Lovely sunny morning today  ☀️ I’ve been out in the garden and watered my tumbling toms. Flowers have appeared so looking promising 😁

I have mopped the bathroom floor plus swept and mopped the kitchen floor and am now sat with 2nd cuppa. The eye drops make my vision blurry and make me feel woozy so I will probably lie down with the radio on for a while when I get back home as I won’t be able to see to read or watch tv

Hope all goes smoothly for you SYA x - tumbling toms and flowers - sounding lovely in your garden 🥰
