Next steps; grip-relaxing bimbling, and avoiding the temptations

...I've never worn a nightie in my life!  2-pc sets all the way - but now i understand the lure of being dressed, to many creepy crawlies otherwise!

I've been known to nip out to the washing line in my standard nightwear (strappy vest top and big knickers) - but I'm usually awake far earlier than any neighbours. I regularly go in the garden in PJs, though - and have been known to run down the drive in PJs with the bins for the bin lorry already in the street 😁

How funny we all are, with different nightwear and preparedness to go outdoors in it. It will be lovely baggy, cotton PJs for the next two nights for me. I now have 3 pairs of bottoms in two sizes and three tops, also in two sizes. I think that covers the options, with one pair of shorts in that combo. They are a blue and yellow print from M&S, and I am happy to leave the motorhome confines in them when the dog needs to go out.

Right, I have started a Members RS with the BS we had our mortgage with. I hope I have paid in £250 this morning and scheduled a SO of 11 more. It will help with the "I need to be skint" thing that stops me being a spendthrift.

It will no doubt be needed for the pig-shed replacement (I dare not call it a plan yet). We discussed it yesterday and Mr Sl has agreed with my suggestion of an open double cart-lodge kit on a low wall. The open storage will face into the garden and the left side will be fully built, the right will have a door in the back, through into a garden room with a kitchen area with a 1.5 sink at the left end and a work area at the other. This will be where we extract our honey, so it needs electricity, water and at least a soak away. The work area I can use for my upholstery ambitions. I have two pieces of wooden furniture to reupholster. Both need leather seats and backs. One I bought at auction for £10 to practice on, the other is a double-seat bench in our dining room (I also bought this for a tenner). We need to find storage options for the current contents and then take most of it down in order to re-do the concrete plinth (that is undermining it, after rats and rabbits excavated under it!). It's a permanent structure on our deeds so will need the existing part to be on a wall. The garden room part is a temporary wooden structure so does not need planning approval, providing it is over 1m from the boundary.

I want to paint our sheds and existing cart lodge black too, so a bit of clearing around this to gain access is needed. I feel I have been talking about this for ages!! Bank holiday weekend is D(ecision)-day!
