10 sleeps until my 2 weeks off :)
Today’s veg box is just vegetables, milk and a bunch of
bananas. They got something wrong last week again (the driver left the wrong amount of milk) so if it’s wrong this
week then that will be the 3rd time and I’ll have to reassess the
milk situation. I won’t know until I get
home from work. I’ve had to order the
box as we don’t have much in the way of veg now. This is all learning as I said before and
although we have soups and things made from items we’ve already grown, there’s
little fresh veg.
Their mistake does bring today’s total down to £15.37 as
they’ve issued a refund for last week.
So veg scheme delivery so far this month is £38.08 and Tesco was £64,
leaving around £148 for the rest of the month.
It’s my Nana’s 94th birthday today, so we’re
at my Mam and Dad’s for a BBQ after work to celebrate. This is becoming a bit of a tradition now although
we used to live a lot closer to them than we do now, so this is the first year
we’ll have to get back in the car and drive home afterwards (so no celebrating
with alcohol!). So Wednesday won’t be a “doing
night” as by the time we get home, I have
an hour’s work to do on Wednesday nights, so after that it’ll be bed time for
us! The animals are going away earlier
on a night, around 9:45pm now, opposed to well after 10 on the longest
days. The only bonus is it means I can
get a few earlier nights in again and not burn the candle at both ends. The kids are sleeping out for 2 nights now, which feels strange.
Duck update: Last night we put her in the bath and she loved it, it helped take the weight off the poorly leg for a while and she could be a duck again! I'm going to try some Epsom salts for her as online they recommended to put in the bath with her water. This morning she was still the same but is eating and drinking still so that's good. As it's just Steven and I tonight, we'll put her in the bath again and see how she goes.
