  • Today I ordered 40 paper gift bags and a foldable saw from Am*z*n - got a voucher from the Biscuit app so only paid £9.99 for it all which is good. 

    The gift bags will be for all my dog walking clients and my doggy pals. 

    Saw is to help me cut the roots of a conifer tree which I've been trying to get out of my garden for weeks. 

    This week is the week it goes then I can move on to the other 5 that I need to dig out.

  • Eurghhhh. 

    Ordered a lamp last week which arrived and had a part missing - just had a courier pick that up so need to wait for a refund then re-order - I really love the lamp so will see if the next one arrives with all the parts. 

    My hoover has died on me - RIP Sharky - contacted customer service and they sent me a replacement floor nozzle which came today and isn't working - called them back and they're gonna replace the whole thing but I need to package up the old one first and return to them. 

    Need to find something to package it up in now. 

    Sweeping is a nightmare with 2 collies - I'm sick of it already!

    Managed to catch this cold that's doing the rounds so WFH today and tomorrow. 

    I've managed to get an extra dog walk booked for this morning so that's an extra £20 coming in which covers the cost of the birthday gift I just bought my bestie. 

    Today I need to;
    • Pick up 2 parcels
    • Package up hoover 
    • Print off return label
    • Washings
    • Housework
    • Check funds

  • Dog walk done and picked up bits from B&M to wrap this hoover up. 

    Decided to just collect the parcels tomorrow and can drop the hoover off at the same time. 

    Feeling rubbish today so gonna just stay in till my dogs need walked later this evening.
