Tuesday and Wednesday

WEDNESDAY
I had a lot of backache and pain in the tops of my legs last night, really painful and it kept waking me. Not sure if it is all the cleaning or my strenuous Pilates class!

After breakfast I went to my aqua aerobics class as I thought the water would help and it did a little. It was another really good class and I enjoyed it a lot.

I came home and had a shower and washed my hair. Jon was out for a coffee I presume.

I did some sorting out in the bedrooms to make room for all the things that have to come upstairs while the builders are in, mostly kitchen things a lot of which will go anyway once our container arrives.

Jon came back and got stuck into painting again and more pruning in the garden. Our neighbours say the quote from yesterday was too expensive and we agree so they had another man in today which we thought was OK but they still say it is too much even though we are paying half. We have told the man to go ahead and do the work we want on the lime tree and if the neighbours don't want to pay we will just have them trimmed on our side and leave it at that. I think they are missing an opportunity here.

Another trip to the charity shop with more things and a quick trip to Tesco to buy some fish for dinner.

We had lunch and got stuck into more of the same, cleaning, sorting and pruning. At least we can see some improvement now.

We went out to Homebase to buy more bark and then had a cup of tea and a scone and cream. I only had a little bit!

I cooked dinner and Jon finished the painting so he just needs to put the tiles down tomorrow and then we can get things back in before clearing the family room ready for Tuesday.

The builder came with samples for the patio and we have chosen the floor covering and we are going ahead with making the window bigger in the family room as it will give more light.

Another Corrie marathon tonight so we are nearly up to date.

WEATHER
Sunny with cloud but not as warm as yesterday. 20 maybe?


TUESDAY
I decided to get on and get some windows cleaned today as all the frames were very dirty. As I was doing them a window cleaner was over at the bungalow opposite and so Jon told me to go and have a word which I did and they came over and cleaned all the outsides for £10 and they were a mess, they will now come every 4 weeks. I then just had to clean the insides and the frames.

I took some things to the charity shop and popped into the supermarket to buy a few things. I am still not very organised with meals and things. I don't want to stock up the cupboards as they will all need to be emptied in a few days.

Jon was busy painting the office again and in between doing some pruning. We had a tree surgeon call round to quote for chopping the lime tree and to share the chopping down of the trees from next door.

The builder called round to bring us the samples of the floor covering and we had a chat to him about a few other things and by the time he had finished I was late for my Slimming World group so went rushing off.

I only stayed to be weighed and knew it was not good and I was right as I had only lost half a pound. Had I been weighed last Friday I would have lost three but the weekend put paid to that! Hopefully next week will be better.

I came home and made dinner and then we watched four episodes of Coronation Street. Heather tells me we have to get up to date by Tuesday as Tina is killed and her killer is revealed in the same episode and she doesn't want to read it or see it on TV. Not much chance of that for us as we never have time to read the paper or watch TV other than Corrie catch up!!

WEATHER
Warm and sunny 21 degrees
