Thats better

10 hours 5 minutes.....cannot be bad, did not wake until 9.30, good job we were not going anywhere!

I decided to attack the car, mats out and washed, also managed to get a stain out of the drivers arm rest....... it was a water mark left from when the ice on the inside of the car melted. Cleared out the boot etc and everything we keep in the car, its in the garage. The things from the dash board locker on on the shelf in the  porch we use to store shoes etc in. So I can just pick them up when we go to collect the car.

I went to use the little Dyson and clean out the seats floor etc, after 10 minutes it ran out so its on charge. Will finish it tomorrow, we might have heard about the car by then.

DB seems to be getting worse, he is forgetting things more freqently, this lunch time he was going to do the snack we have, he just walked away and sat down leaving everything on the work surface. I ended uo doing it. His condition is not really helping me either. 

I am waiting for my new medication to be delivered, I have also had to order some medication to tackle constipation, I know from experience that is going to be the next think to tackle.

No sewing today, will decide what I am going to do and start after the weekend.......

Usual fish and chips tonight, I am trying to cut down on sweet stuff, so no dessert. If I need anything later I will have crackers and a small amount of cheese.

 

Late today

We were up early doors today, it was mobile library day and I had a delivery from Morrisons. We just got home as Morrison arrived. Towels into the dryer.

It was very cold, had to defrost the car. We appear to have lost the scrapper, so have sent for new ones.

Waiting to hear the car has arrived, it will go through the workshop and get a full valet before we see it. I have done a bit of shuffling and have the cash waiting. I hope the weather is not too cold at the weekend I need to valet the inside of ours and put the contents in the garage until we get the new car home.

Supper tonight, shepherd's pie, carrots and peas. No dessert.

shattered

last night so went to bed at 8pm, DB watching TV, eventually managed to sleep until DB got up for the toilet, was then awake for a couple of hours, so managed just over 7 hours last night.

Its a fine but cold day a bit warmer than yesterday thankfully. Laundry done and in the dryer.

Messing about trying to download designs, fancy doing a zipper purse, need to sort the pattern first. 

Our neighbour over the road, called in this morning, I have not been over recently, could not risk falling. She wished us a happy 2025, she was off into town to do some shopping, she usually has her lunch in town and gets a taxi home.

Supper tonight is egg and chips, I have some roulard, its raspberry, we had some last night, it was delicious, part of the stuff we got from M & S the other week.

Oh Dear

the bad nights are back. Last week I scored 1 8+ hours and 2 9+ hours, the last 3 nights have been pathetic......61/2 hours over 2 nights!! I definitely felt decidedly rough this morning, took me an hour to feel half up to par!!

So my cleaner has been, all nice and clean now, just need the sheets to be collected next week for ironing. I have another laod in this morning and will have to do a clothes wash tomorrow. It will go in the dryer.

The snow has gone and with it the mist but its still very cold out there.

I have finished the figures for the nativity, I now need to find the instructions to make then free standing. Also thinking about staking a table in  a shop in the Bell Centre, several handicraft people have stuff displayed in there. I need to look and see what type of things the other table holders are selling.

Supper tonight macaroni cheese, jacket spuf and baked tomatoes, no dessert unless O defrost the roularde from the freezer.

Sorry

about yesterday, I hit the wrong button and away it went into the ether. It was sunny but still below freezing. After DB had his siesta we went out and de=frosted the car, put the windscreen shield on. This morning both the fog nd the frost had lifted.

Its a rather grey day, but at least most of the oice has now gone.

We had our usual Sunday brekkie in bed, finally managed into the shower around 10.30. I had booked lunch at the carvery, so no cooking for me today, we will have a roll and a mince pie for supper.

I am just sewing the joining bits for the nativity, once they are all done, I will soak them and using the instructions put it together. I do need to get some fast drying glue, cannot sit for hours waiting for glue to dry.

So thats the weekend over once again.........

I have just lost everything I had typed, just cannot be bothered........so thats it for today, more tomorrow.

its more

than brrr, down to -7c overnight, the sun is shining, but its still  -3 below freezing, no way am I going out. If I slip there is no telling what might break!!

I ran out of white thread yesterday, I was expecting it in the post, yesterday but it has just arrived, so I can carry on with what I was doing. I am using the Lumi just now. I have finished most of the figures, so working on the stable which is sewn in 7 bits. I need to get some clear glue so I can put it together. Its not going to be easy to store. Might have to see if I can beg borrow or steal a shoe box or something similar.

DB is cracking on with the puzzle, he has managed to join it side to side in the middle, so now working on the bottom half.

I have cooked belly pork this morning for tomorrows supper, tonight is fish and chips as usual. Just now we are not eating dessert.
