FINALLY

 I have been waiting forever for Spotlight to have a sale on Batting/Wadding.  They finally have one on right now, so this morning I am going there to get some more batting.

I use such a lot of batting, it's totally worth it to wait until it's on sale, then buy it in bulk.

After Spotlight, I am going to Bunnings for tent pegs for our outdoor rug.  We really need to use it in our new spot, as there's a muddy patch right at the front of our site that needs covering up.

I also need liquid chorine for our pool.   In another month or so I will be taking the cover off and really working on getting it ready for summer.  But for now, it needs a bomb of chlorine and some filtering.

So, that's me for the morning, I'll be out and about.

Catch ya later.

11.02 am:  It's been a busy morning I must say.

Out first thing to Spotlight, where I managed to get a really good workout!

Arms mostly.

Helping the shop assistant roll out 20 metres of batting!

It was a mission.

But so worth it.  As I said before, I've been hanging out for it to go on sale.

ABOVE: Eeee gads!  NO makeup on that face at all.  But I just couldn't be arsed today.

At least I made an effort with the clothes 'n' footwear, right?

BTW, those boots are LOOSE on my legs now!

There was a time I couldn't even zip them up.

I've come a long way from those days.

ABOVE:  It was a bit of a mission getting it in the car, but once the seats were dropped down, I managed.

It was raining fairly heavily so not exactly fun.

After Spotlight I went to Bunnings and Mitre 10 for tent pegs and the chlorine.

All done now,  and quite a few hundred dollars lighter, but I know that batting will last me almost a year.

I'm now going to have an early lunch, then do a couple of odd jobs around the house.  Not sure if I will sew today, I've got plenty of stock for the next few markets, if not all of them until next year.  So no rush, unless I sell heaps.

Sitting here, not thinking of going out again today.  And I read Leeann's comment about Grandmothers Garden.  Closing down, all fabric just $10 a metre.  I had received an email telling me all about their closing down FINAL sales just a couple of days ago, and  had decided not to go.

I didn't really need anything else right now.

But I caved in, jumped in me car and went out there just now.

ABOVE:  I knew there wouldn't be much left, and I was right.

VERY VERY little fabric to choose from today.  But I did manage to find a few that will add to me stash.

And there is my last ever receipt from Grandmothers Garden.

A shop with 40+ years trading,  finally closing for good.

I hope Hazel enjoys her well earned retirement!

7.33 pm: Lovely quiet evening on me pat malone.  Stew's at the pub.  Should be home soon.

And that is all I have for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow. 

DAY 29 DONE AND DUSTED.

Some days I just want to go buy a bloody burger and chips.  Today was one of those days.  I was out and about twice.  And twice I drove past numerous eateries... and drooled my life away.

This Challenge sucks sometimes!

But I'm clinging to the big picture, a smaller, healthier me.
