Back to work today after a week off. The joys!

Once again I am up a silly o'clock wide awake. I will be ready for bed again at lunchtime.

I have put Beef stifado in the slow cooker for dinner. I just have to cook the vegetables when I get in.



The concrete went in yesterday for the footings. They are going to finish the footings on Friday and work the weekend to catch up with the build.

This came up on my time hop yesterday. The cheeky boy.

We named and shamed him.


My name is pudding and I just stole a whole bag of dreamies and ate every one.

The big build as we have started to call it has come to a stop until Tuesday when the concrete is going in for the foundations. It was too cold on Friday. Apparently it's going to be a bit warmer next week.
My back garden looks like Steptoes yard plus a big hole.

 The big hole. With the paving slab going from the cat flap to the path so the cats don't fall down the hole.

 Steptoes yard

I have been trying to have no spend days for  a few weeks now failing miserably most days. I thought if I blog about it I might just manage it. So I am going to do a weekly post about it on  a Sunday.
I have got a little note book that I am going to note down if I spend and what on.

Today is a no spend day we are having a roast and it's all coming out of the freezer and cupboards. I need to get the  cupboards as   empty as I can. The kitchen is getting demolished in a couple of weeks. EEEKKK!

I am also going to get my backside into gear and start ebaying again,and try and get rid of all this treasure that's cluttering up my house.

|I have sold two things on Sphock this week so I have made a start.

Day two of the build

Day two and the digger is back. I really didn't expect them to come today with the weather. But come they did and worked none stop all day.

|We have massive footings. They have had to use the original one which are eight foot deep.

|The poor cats hate all this mess and noise especially cippy.

Chippy likes to spend his days doing his own thing coming and going through the cat flap. So i think he feels locked in.



This one on the other hand is pudding and  is a nosy bugger and likes to meet new people.

They both like this big hole.

Lets see what today brings. 

The big build Decisions

Every thing went OK at the hospital yesterday. We came home had some lunch and went off to look at kitchens floors etc. I was feeling really rushed, having to make snap decisions on the spot.

STOP  

No I said i'm not doing it we are going to have to live with the kitchen, flooring, worktops etc for a long time. I have an idea what I want. I have a board on pinterest I have had for ages but that's different isn't it?

Anyway I saw a few possibilities. The builders not coming for a chat until the end of the month and the Kitchen planner is coming next week. So I have a few more weeks to have a good look around. 

I think I keep putting it off because of the mess. I'm in a mess at the moment it's the added mess.

Anyway on to more pleasant things planning days out in spring and summer. 

I have just come across this it's not far from me so am looking forward to it.
