Milann’s mutterings through retirement

We went to the NT place it’s only about a 20 minute drive - the sun was shining here but torrential rain there. We sat in the car until it stopped then ventured into the gardens where it promptly started raining again so we gave it up as a bad job and came home. We got the badge Dh wanted 👍

We had forms through from the solicitor…all things we’ve previously answered. But Dh has been panicking as they’ve asked for all sorts of planning permissions….when we’ve looked into it, it’s only folk in conservation areas that need it. So we need to tackle the forms once he arrives home. I’ll be glad when this move is finished.

I’ve been having trouble with my teeth and been to the dentist several times who just keeps telling me I have hyper sensitive teeth and use a sensitive toothpaste. I’ve used this for years. Anyway this morning when I went, he has reluctantly agreed to file the main culprit down and fill it. So thatll being a couple of weeks time. I do wonder if I went private whether theyd do more to help.

Right that was a real moaning post.

Good news is we’ve had a coup,e of hundred pounds back from the van insurance 😄

I’m not sure where time is going 😯I went to a friend’s house yesterday and helped her transform her little front garden from a weed bed to a flower bed complete with surplus weed membrane from our shed and various rocks. I’d given her plant cutting last year that were still in pots ready to go out. It’s not worth transporting rocks when we move and there are still plenty in our garden - the ones we took were from a storage box. She was really pleased with the transformation, as was I. I’m feeling it today though and its only a bed about 6ft by 2 ft 🤣 and there were 2 of us 🤣 she now needs some more slate to cover the membrane….as I was trawling fb last night there was somebody wanting to get rid of 8 bags of slate on the freebie page so her family is picking them up for her this morning. I’m really pleased with it and all using surplus supplies so £0 😄

We had a lovely afternoon by the seaside with the big tower on Friday…it was persisting as we left home but we had faith in the weathermen and as we approached the sun came out. It blew the cobwebs off but was so nice to see blue skies. Money was spent in our favourite cafe but was worth it.

I’m at a party later with the singing group…..I’m not really feeling the vibes yas I’m tired but it might be my last chance before the move….the next party will be Christmas and hopefully we’ll be in our new place by then.

We’re beginning to bring the buildings from the railway ready to take down to my dds to store for a while. There a tad delicate for th removal men and will take up a lot of space. They’ll go in her garden until we’re ready 😄 There not much space to store boxes in her house but the garden is fine.
