Can’t keep up………

………….with anything

There’s too many eggs and too much veg!  We’ve sold some of the eggs and frozen some veg but there’s so much of them.  Course, if a certain someone didn’t keep buying rubbish processed food, I’d have more freezer space

We’ve started painting the hall, stairs and landing.  I say we, what I mean is I’ve done a bit and he’s done a lot, lol.  The watered-down first coat is on, we he can get on with the ‘proper’ coats now.  He’s also been painting the woodwork, that was a pain because the stain kept seeping through the new white paint, even with primer on.

We were both off work last week.  We visited Fairford (to watch the planes fly out), Axminster, West Bay and Weston-Super-Mare.

I’ve still been looking after me, though it was a bit rushed because we were out so much.  I treated myself to some new make-up, and bought a 200ml tub of Morrison’s shea butter (£2.99) – it’s wonderful for feet.

When the work is finished on the house, I can get back to crafting.  I’ve hidden it all away for now, dust and paint splashes are NOT going to ruin my work.

 

 

A big mess

Well, it WAS.   I’ve been cleaning up.

We’ve had a plasterer in for a couple of days, the whole house suffered the dust.  But the walls look great now, just waiting for them to dry out then we can paint.

My skin has suffered too, the dust has sucked all the moisture out of it.  I’m back on the Frugal Frump challenge today.  It was  a bit difficult to do when the plasterer wants to get into the bathroom to work, lol.  I’m fully dust-free, clean and moisturised.  Healthy food makes a huge difference to your skin, so I’ll be eating out of the garden a lot.  Here’s what we picked yesterday -

Beetroot, carrots, broad beans, peas and italian beans (can’t remember the proper name for them!).  There’s eight courgettes too but I forgot to add them to the pic.

 

A new me…..

…………… hopefully!

Yesterday, I found THIS conversation on MoneySavingExpert.  I read the whole thing, and today I’m going to go back through it and pick out the bits that suit me.  I’ve already tried a couple of the tips and I’m feeling quite relaxed and ready for anything.  I feel in control for the first time in months.

Cleo has laid her first egg, and it’s a lovely pastel green.

 

 

 

As you can see, I’m still not very good with this camera.  I miss my old one.

Here’s a pic of Baz, she’s got bumblefoot so is on Baytril at the moment.
