Well, it's lovely to be home.
But now I have some serious work to do.
While those 'comparison photos' I posted yesterday look OK, I know I'm not looking 'that' good.
We had no holds barred meals while away, and OMG can I tell I've over eaten.
I had already gained quite a bit of weight in the past 6 months, with stress eating. But now? I feel pretty yuk.
So, I am going to make a concentrated effort to lose a few kilos before we move, and also do more exercise to be fitter.
There's a few jobs to do around here today, and I also need to pop out to pay a bill.
Before I forget, I took a reading of our odometer before we left on our trip, and when we arrived home again.
We drove a grand total of 1,319 kilometres on our trip, or 819.5 miles. Fairly impressive. My butt only started hurting on our last day travelling!
Right, I'm off to get the washing on the line, and get on with my day.
10.39 am, and all is done around here. I'm now literally twiddling my fingers, wondering what the hell I can do for the next 50+ days until we move.
I have our dining suite on Marketplace, and the number of enquiries is huge, but no sale yet.
So many damn cheeky buggers offering way lower than my asking price.
If it doesn't go in the next month I'm giving it to the Hospice shop. It's so frustrating dealing with time wasters.
First afternoon in months I've got a massive headache. I've taken some painkillers, so hopefully it's gone by the time I want to drop Stew at the pub and then visit the kids.
ABOVE: Lacy called in this morning to return the house keys. She brought her little cat ... who did not like Coco at all. Coco was not fussed by the cat at all of course, I'm sure she would have happily played with her, but Sylvie was having none of it. She hissed and tried to whack Coco.
It was nice to see Lacy and get me house key back. I went out first thing this morning and when I got home I did wonder how I was going to get into me own house! Luckily, I had the garage door opener.
I did a bit of back shed sorting out this morning too, and put a big dog pen out the front for free pickup. It went pretty quickly. I've managed to give away quite a lot of smaller things that way.
Either on the roadside, or hospice shop drop offs.
Soon there won't be anything left to get rid of!
Well, except the dining suite. And I won't just give that away to any old Joe Blogs.
ABOVE: Stew sent me this an hour ago via Messenger.How did I get so lucky?
We celebrate our first meeting on September 28th this year... it will be FORTY YEARS!!! 40 years of being with him, and I wish we had another 40 to go. He may get VERY OLD AND WRINKLY, but I'd still love him. I on the other hand, will stay exactly the way I am now of course! lol As if.
He cheered me up no end with that little meme.
DOGSTAR is working on a film set in Minnesota, USA. She has to supply all the food/drink for the 'stars'. One of the main stars only drinks DIET COKE! So she has it ready to pass over to 'them' when needed.
Today she handed it to 'M' and 'M' was like "How did you know?" Cute.
Thanks for the comment telling me about it Christine.
So a wrap up of the evening... Stew arrived home, I dropped him off at the pub, then I visited with Steve and Bex. Steve joined Stew at the pub for an hour, then I took Stew home.
I wasn't in the mood for the pub, so didn't join the guys.
Home now, watching Coronation Street, before going to bed. Catch ya tomorrow.
