Talk about a wet weekend!

Evening Everyone,

Hope everyone is well and is having a good weekend. The weather here has been atrocious again all day. I'm fed up of getting wet every time I step outside. 

It was so bad here earlier tonight that even the dog refused to go out!

Hubby had made arrangements to go walking with his mate tomorrow but they have decided to postpone until later in the week when hopefully the weather will have picked up a bit. Fingers crossed!

It pains me to have to either have the heating on all day to dry the washing or put it into the dryer. Roll on summer when we can dry all the laundry outside. 

Apart from the obvious financial benefits of line drying your washing it actually is much healthier. I love getting into a freshly made bed that has been dried outdoors. Smells and feels so much fresher and aids a better nights sleep.

Looking forward to the lighter evenings too so that we can spend some time getting the garden sorted out. Hubby wants to do a mini make over of the garden this year but obviously this will need to be on a tight budget and I will post pics of this as we go along.

I'm having a year off doing anything major in the cottage with having lots of expensive events lined up.  We are supposed to be having a new shower fitted but this won't cost anything apart from the shower itself which we will get at trade prices. My son is a plumber so will get it for us and then fit it for free. Well, I say free but I'm sure I will be repaying in other ways. Such is family life.

I've got my eldest granddaughter sleeping over tonight as her mum has gone out with friends and dad is on nights. My daughter is working tomorrow too so I will be taking my granddaughter out and about. I have promised to take her out for lunch with my mum ( great granny ) and also to a spring fair at the church. She's hoping to buy a gift for her mum for mothers day which is on the 31st of this month. It is also her own birthday on the 31st so if I get time I will take her to choose a gift for her birthday.

I'm hoping to get back to my routine of walking to our local shop in the evenings. Firstly for the exercise, secondly to walk the dog and also to check if they have reduced any fruit or veg. I'll keep you posted on any bargains I may get.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone and fingers crossed for an end to this blooming rain. 

Until tomorrow
