Afternoon ladies, been hot here today so I went out and strimmed the lawn edges and then mowed over them to suck up the cuttings, did both front lawns and the big back one. The front is almost all week tho. 

Rain's forecast for tomorrow. I see there's a petition to get Starmer out, well 2 petitions, one to get him out through vote of no confidence and one to get him to resign voluntarily I can't see either happening. He's ruining this country and heard today he's put a stop on the money that the Tories were putting into our armed forces to modernise them, so it'll make it easier for us to be taken over I expect, as we all know where his loyalties lie. 

The surveyor's still picking holes in the plan for the new porch, saying it's 2cm's too big now, Bob the builder came over and changed the plan again yesterday and said if he finds anything else to moan about just tell him you won't bother with it now and keep the one you've got and just repair that as and when you can.  I've emailed the surveyor and said it's not technically a porch anyway it's a conservatory/garden room in which case it doesn't need planning permission up to 30sq metres. He's a right jobsworth. Bob said the windows will be ready end of next week so he's hoping to start work on it the week after. We'll go ahead whatever the surveyor says, we're both fed up with him being a jobsworths. 

Going up the pub Sunday for a carver with Jackie and Chloe, so just going to book a table for that and then do my dinner. I lead an exciting life. lol 

Hope you all had a lovely day and stayed cool, rain tomorrow! Glad to hear the floors done Starry, bet it looks nice. 

/Afternoon everyone. Been a weird day weatherise. Hot this morning and rainy this afternoon.
Sold my 4 wheel rollator to a lovely elderly couple who came all the way over from Plymouth for it. They were over the moon with it. 

Had an email from the Jobsworth surveyor with my permission letter and he's now calling the porch a 'summer room' so I suppose that's the same as a normal externsion/conseratory after I sent him all the gumpf from Cornwall Council Planning. So now there's no worries about size and we can legally make it any size we want. Sent a copy to Bob who rang and said he'd chase up the door and windows today to see how they're coming along.  

After all this Bob better not let me down and he better make a good job of the work or I'll go mental. 

Just going to feed my rabid pets and then find something to eat myself. 

Good morning everyone

 dry at the moment but looking cloudy

 Jefferson went home yesterday and I cleaned the house and I’ve got visitors popping in this morning. Sainsbury’s delivered so that’s so that’s all put  away. Just got to wash my clothes then I’ve got the afternoon to myself. My sky install went well but the landline wasn’t connecting but it is now. So just got to get to grips with a new set up

Afternoon everyone. Your mother is amazing Starry for her age but it's understandable it's all a bit overwhelming at her age. 

I had lunch with Jackie and Chloe at my local pub, a carvery followed by apple and pear crumble and clotted cream. They gave me a lovely doggy box for Dora, it was full of roast beef so she had half for her dinner tonight and the rest she can have tomorrow. So she was well pleased.  They came back to mine for coffee and an hour's chat then went home. 

I checked my emails and have sold my chest freezer so I'm pleased with that but it was on Ebay and they took over £11 in fees!!! Pity it didn't sell on Freeads or Facebook marketplace where there's no fees but never mind. At least I got £73 for it. I didn't realise Ebay have put their fees up again so that'll be the last thing I sell on there. Apart from clothes which are free to sell if used. 

Just got to do something light for tea and a cuppa and relax for the rest of the evening now. 

Thought I'd posted on here this morning but obviously hadn't pffft

Yes it is a big fee Diane isn't it. They've put their fees up recently, I shan't put anything else on there unless it's second hand clothes because they're free to list and no fees. They've done that because Vinted has taken all the clothes sellers and making up for the loss by upping their fees, crafty so and so's. 

Two lovely Orthodox Jewish young men came this evening for the freezer, in all their black and white gear with those long curly wurly dangly bits of hair in front of their ears, can't remember what they're called. So the hall now looks enormous with that big white lump out of the way lol

I went made today pruning, cut back half the hydrangeas, a purple prickly thing, bamboo, most of the bramble and a lot of nettles, the brown garden wheelie is chocka block now, and its not due to be emptied til a week next Friday. 

I've got to catch the fish in the small pond and put them in the big pond tomorrow ready for the garden chap to empty the little one ready to move it. That'll be fun. Not!

Just checked out my first Morrison's delivery for tomorrow morning.  Hopefully there won't be any substitutes. Wonder what the delivery driver will be like, the ASDA one's are really nice, there's only one grump thank goodness.

I saw on the telly the energy prices are going up next month or end of this one. I took out a fixed rate package for a year after Christmas I think it was, and when the prices went down I dipped out, but now I'll be smiling when everyone else pays through the nose. 

Oh well off to bed early ready for another day of work in the garden if it's dry enough, and have to put Dora out for her last pee of the day. 

Hopefully you all had a lovely day! xxx. Nite nite all, sleep well and sweet dreams.
