Feet up

Another day off for me although still having to sort stuff out, the sitting room curtains arrived this morning. I will have to get my cleaner to sort them out and put them up.

Another resonable night, just over 7 hours, have to be up early tomorrow, they are collecting the dish washer. I have started to wash the pots etc by hand again, breakfast and lunch are not too bad, its the pans etc for supper that floor me.

DB seems to be spending more time sleeping just now, I know he is bored, but hopefully that will change next week...........

Have to finish taking the plant house to bits and put it in a black plastic bag. I also have some more bits to collect to take to the tip on Monday morning.......sorting Thursdays supper out as well, will get a ding dinner from Aldi and leave it in the fridge ready for when we get there,  it will get done in the oven, the microwave will be in the van.Will also put the two folding tables in the car along with everything for breakfast on Friday morning. I need to make a couple of lists, so I do not forget anything.............

Supper tonight, fish, mash and parsley sauce. Have stopped doing chips for DB, he moans he cannot chew them.
 

Quiet Day

I am so exhausted I am having 2 days off. The drier was collected this morning. The dish washer disconnected last night, so thats everything disposed of apart from a few bits out of the garden. I need to bring the plants round that I am taking round to the front, so they do not get left behiind. I have one more trip to the tip with a picnic table and chairs plus a couple of other bits, will go Monday morning, that seems to be a less busy day.

I cooked a gammon joint yesterday, so will slice it this afternoon, salad for supper tonight and will keep back a couple of slices for Sunday, the rest will go in the freezer.

Its a bit of a funny day, sun keeps coming and going. A slight breeze, so hopefully not too hot. I am not taking DB again when I go to the flat, yesterday I took him and had to  bring him back before I had finished sorting stuff out. He was complaining about chest pain. When ever he gets worked up he gets chest pain, its in the wrong place for a heart attack, so 2 pain killers and a snooze later, and he was ok. 

Chap collected the dryer this morning is an odd job man, so he will put shelves and the curtain rail up for me once we get settled........a good job out of the way.

21st of August the linen cupboard and a console table will be delivered, everything will be ok then, we can just settle down and start 'living' again in the knowledge that  until Edwin shuffles off this earth we will not move again.

Gammon and salad tonight, might make oranges in jelly for dessert.

I need to get off the merry go round

 Another busy day, a visit to the tip with more cardboard and also plastic pots etc. I have to try and get the grow house apart, I have someone who would like it. I also put the wall unit on the local page for free, someone has asked for it. Another thing gone.

I went over to the flat in the afternoon, took some stuff from the house freezer, collected some of the dry washing to bring home, I was running out of knickers. Another visit today with bed linen and towels for the two bathrooms.

Its a warm morning but with a breeze, so not too bad. I was going to do shepherds pie tonight but doing mince and tatties instead, I have some veg to eat up.

Window cleaner came this morning, so paid him and told him to wait until the new people were in before calling again. The lady also came for the shelves.

Cupboards are gradually emptying, I will start on the under sink cupboards next, just leave what I need for next week.

Have to take the grow house down for Bopnnie tonight, thats if I can get it apart. I have an extra cover for it and also a winter cover somewhere.

Not so bad

The weather was not as bad as it was forcast, we did have periods of heavy rain and high winds, but inspersed with sunny spells.

This morning it is sunny and the temperature is rising, we still have quite a strong wind.

DB continues to ignore any requests to keep quiet and stop pushing for various things to be done......I put in the postal re-direction at 10pm last night to shut him up.

Needless to say when I got into bed my back siezed up again, I had to stagger into the kitchen, holding on to furniture to get a drink!!

Off to the tip with the last of the cardboard, I hope. The wall shelves came down yesterday, none of the charity shops will take them despite asking for furniture....... so its either broken down and goes to the tip or I leave it in the garage.

There is still some clearing up needed in the garden, plastic pots etc destined for the tip, I need to collect them in a poly bag. I am going to take one trough with us and a couple of plant trays, I can put on the window cill in the kitchen with herb plants on. I am also going to  take some of the potted plants to stand on the small patio.

Supper tonight is beef casserole, I am going to do dumplings rather than mashed potato. No idea about a dessert.

Its raining

 But not too heavily. Cleaner is here, she has taken down all the shelves and the TV down and holes filled in.

I tried to do too much yesterday, ended up with my back giving me gyp. Sorry about the spelling mistakes yesterday, did not proof read before I posted it. The house is like a tip, but it can stay like it, we are moving in 10 days. Had to ring the DVLA re my driving license, changed our address, so it will go to the flat, now have to contact the electric company  re the switch over.

The wind is blowing fit to bust, expecting heavy rain later this afternoon.

No idea what's for supper, will sort something out.

Hopefully a quieter day

This morning I went down to Aldi for stuff I needed to take to the apartment this afternoon when we go. Seperated the stuff out so have left whars going in the boot along with the stuff from under the sink and the duvet and pillows for the 2nd bedroom.

Not such a good night but almost 7 hours so not too bad.

There is a storm warning for tomorrow, so I will be nipping up between the showers to take some more light stuff, will put the blind down in the second bedroom, so no one can see the mess in there.

Supper tonight roast chicken, roasd potatoes, cauli and calabrease. 

 

I just want some peace......

DB has started again, its driving me nuts........washer went yesterday evening, the rest of the garden stuff has gone today.........there is just the stuff to go out for the bin men on Monday. I have bagged up some stuff to go over to the flat/apartment, mostly stuff from under the sink. Scrapped the floor where the washer was and hoovered and mopped it so thats clean. DB is now hastling me to ring about getting the dryer and dishwasher taken away. It grieves me to have to lose the dishwasher, but its just too big to fit in any of the cupboards.

This morning DB asked me what we were going to do for food the day we move, typical!!! I will address that later.

I don't think Trevor will be coming on Monday we are forecast to get heavy rain, no point in brining him over for him to spend most of his time sitting in the garage. I hope to empty the garage freezer tomorrow, might manage to get it cleaned so Clare can take it when they are here on Monday. Will also be sorting out what else can go over into the freezer, its only 4 baskets, so smaller than the two I have already. Am gooing to get a man and his van to take that one to DD2 the day before we move, will use the cool box for the milk etc.

Off to the tip with the boxes this afternoon......... 

Pasta with tomato and bacon for supper tonight.
