It has been a busy day , we had unexpected visitors, then the man to fit out bathroom floor and then Pippa her husband and Freddie!  I did manage to cut the grass in between all the comings and goings .

Tomorrow we have Pauls daughter and family coming for the day , I was going to cook a roast but decided on a Buffet in the end so I am not in the kitchen all the time. It would be nice if we could sit in the garden but I think we might be getting rain.

 

Good afternoon everyone, bursts of brilliant and hot sunshine and then overcast and grey but hot and muggy whichever option happened. 

I stripped the bed yesterday and washed the bedding, turned the mattress (nearly killed me) I dried the big sheet and duvet, mattress cover etc on the line and then finished it off in the drier to remove any remaining creases so I don't have to iron it. Then did a lot of pruning. Bubba robot was out again cutting the grass. 

Today I woke up with a dodgy back so not done much physical work apart from wiping down the kitchen cupboard doors and the rest of the laundry, my clothes and. underwear and the towels. I was going to do the dog and cat's bedding today but will do it another day, it was only replaced with clean a week ago and they dont' go anywhere to get dirty so it's not urgent.

Had.a surprise yesterday I went to the BP garage to fill up as the car was down to 1/4 full and it's now a Texaco garage, and I wanted to use up my BP points toward the cost, so carrie don to the Cornwall Services and they're no longer BP either, they're now Shell.  The fuel at the Services is just over 10p a litre more expensive than the Texaco garage on the old A30 nearer me so I turned round and went back to the Texaco garage. I now have £50 of BP points I can't use on fuel cos there's no BP garage near me. pfffft. You can use them on items so I suppose I'll have to do that.  Wonder why BP pulled out of those 2 fuel stations.

Enjoy your day everyone! xxx

Good morning everyone.

Its damp here but not sure if its mizzling now.

I'm off to bowls this afternoon. 

Good morning everyone another sunny day here but a little bit cooler thank goodness.

Had a surprise yesterday, an text from Domestic and General saying my freezer couldn't be repaired so they were offering me a new one. It only needs a power on bulb. pffft.    The engineer put one in on the alarm but didn't have a power bulb on him, same type of bulb different colour. So he's written off my freezer.  The replacement is coming tomorrow by AO. I've not had to pay anything. Its not the same brand as they no longer make my one, Candy, which is a shame as it's only 4yrs old and silent running which is why I chose it as its in my open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. It is also an A+ energy rating. The only thing I didn't like about it was it's black with a white seal around the lid.  Anyway the new one is a fridge master, black with a black seal around the lid. I'll advertise my existing one on Facebook for a few quid and it'll go toward the new porch lol 

Carol  so pleased you're feeling better now and it's great to hear you're going to get out now, can your man move the bolt down lower so you can operate it on. your own next time? Be careful out it's not really safe these days with all the roaming migrants. Will you take the beast with you?

Starry what a relief to get that floor finished. Diane how was bowls? 

Good evening, I had to call an ambulance for Pippa , her heart rate was 190 beats a minute and getting faster , she had taken all her extra Beta blockers but an hour later there was no change. The ambulance was with us in 15 minutes  , they did an ECG and things  were starting to slow down, they sat with us for 30 minutes and we all agreed she could stay at home so they left and she slowly got back to a much lower  heart rate. Freddie with my help made her a lovely card as it is her 35th birthday tomorrow.  I had ordered a birthday cake to come with my food shop tomorrow but Freddie wanted to choose her one, I am sure Pippa will so pleased with her Paw Patrol cake and also a Caterpillar one for  the evening when her step children will be there !!  

Muddles isn't a waste when they write of appliances when there is no need! we had the same thing with a washing machine , it could have easily been repaired but it was just easier for the engineer to order us a new one, we got the spare part ourselves and Paul fixed it and we gave it  to my eldest daughter and 5 years on she is still using it! the replacement we got  is not as nice as the one they wrote of!
