Saturday

A short blog tonight as it is late and I need to go to bed after a busy day.

Heather left early this morning to meet her friend and then they were going down to Brighton on the train for the day.

I cooked a full English for Jon and I and then felt very full as it was too much for me.

We went out for coffee and I had an iced lemon tea as a coffee would have made me feel very full!

We did our shopping and I found a new dish drainer, washing up bowl and a cutlery tray for two pounds each in Tesco and all in grey to match the kitchen! Bargain!

We got back and I started to prepare the skirting board for painting. I hate the preparation but if you don't do it the finished job is not good. It took a long time and in the middle I stopped to make a sandwich. Jon was out working in the garden - lucky him!

I decided to put masking tape on the floor as it would be easier in the long run but it did take a long time to stick it all on the floor. I then started painting and that was pretty much it until seven o'clock. I did stop for a cuppa which Jon made and then carried on. I finally got it finished. the door will need another coat but at least we can now get the curtains up.

We had bought a Tesco meal deal for dinner and Jon cooked it. Chicken, jacket potato, peas and beans followed by raspberry frangipani tart. Very good and especially as I didn't have to cook it.

Heather came home and had had a good day sitting on the pier in the sun watching the world go by.

I tried to book tickets for Andre Rieu in London and it was difficult to find some. I got through the paying process and then it would not let me continue. How annoying is that? I hope we can manage to find the tickets again tomorrow. I did manage to book for Dawn French in Cambridge in November.

I need to get up early and sort myself out tomorrow and get my nails done etc ready for my trip to the X Factor!
