Have been one day in front all week not sure why. So today I washed and I washed on Thursday so all I know it is Saturday tomorrow well today actually as I cannot sleep so am up typing this at 2-35am.
It has been another good day and didn't rain until about 7-30pm so we did well and I got more washing dried. Apparently it is going to chuck it down again tomorrow so Mr H has decided we should give the house a 'good fettle'? it will keep us occupied for a few hours.
Went up to see the allotment, Michael has done a sterling job with the weeds and stuff. Got the last of the rhubarb and some fennel which I will chop up into a salad. Also harvested some beetroot and spring onions from my little veg patch at home.
We have really pared our food bill down now and never have to throw stuff away. Plus the Bar-B-Q must have saved us a fair bit on our electicity bill as I don't bake any more and I cook everything I can on it. I think I have cooked food in the oven about twice in the last 3 mths. Whole chickens and other meats taste more flavoursome when cooked slowly on the barbie. The secret is cooking with the lid down.
As for the idea that I am a profligate shopper? well I got to thinking and Michael has more clothes and shoes than I do. I have more space in my drawers and wardrobes than he does. The last pair of shoes I bought will be 2 yrs old in September and they are Birkenstocks. I also have my first pair of Birks that I bought in Florida in 1989, they have been resoled that I can have conversations with my grandaughters about the latest stuff that is in. It keeps me young in thoughtd 4 times and I still wear them and always travel in them. These days I look but don't buy. I have to keep up with fashion etc
You will have to make sense of the last two sentances as I tried to move something and it all moved. Am still learning how to do things on the new laptop.
Next week will be Sheilas and Muneers birthdays and Roxannes 21st on the 9th Aug.
Am going to try a DVD in it now then am going back to bed to try and get some sleep.
Night all.

Mam stop trying to make out you don't shop. The reason Michael has more clothes than you do...is because you buy them. You can't stop buying things, whether it's for Michael, us kids, grandkids or for the house, or dare I say new cell phones and Mac laptops. You are a spending machine.
Hi Mr Pot, how's Mr Kettle?
Thank you Gina, I need someone on my side. I don't think Fuad counts internet shopping as 'shopping' but it is all the same.
It is like secret drinkers who drink in the privacy of their own homes, no one sees to what extent it happens, but believe you me it does.
Sonia, what I love about you is that you don't just shop for your self but for everyone else also. I take my hat of to you, as my kids say, nanan Sonia is the trendies nanan cos' she can text, email and also be on face book. How many nanans do that? I am also a secret drinker!!
