More Water Problems

 Well they lifted the ban for hosepipes then turned off all the water due to a leak in a road. Four hours later it came back on, then after a few hours off it went again. According to a local FB site they caused 2 further leaks further down the road while fixing the first one. Lots of people moaning about roads shut off. Finally had water again in the evening. My lovely neighbours brought us 2 bottles of water from the supermarket. We have nice neighbours here and OH cuts their v small front lawn. They water our plants while we're away, take in parcels etc. It's nice but we don't live in each other's pockets but know we are there for each other if there was a crisis.

Sorted out all my winter clothes this week, and the summer clothes have gone into the loft. Seriously have too many clothes, probably because I rarely throw anything away. I've order a dozen new hangers as I don't have enough for all the trousers. Also bought some new hand towels as I like a clean one every day. 

Sold 10 things over the weekend on ebay. I'm amazed at the high price some people will bid up to. A doll I listed at £8 went for £20, and something I listed for collection only, due to weight, was bought by someone offering me £12 postage as they desperately wanted it. No luck selling on vinted yet but the 2 things I bought are lovely in vgc. OH found a load of bubble wrap in a skip at the park this week which was very welcome as I've almost run out.

Bye for now All the best x

An Update

Image
 Well I went to the market in town which was lovely to look around. OH had a stall with others promoting the U3A. This is a club for people who are retired and over 50. OH has been playing Badminton, Bouls, Shooting at targets, visiting various Mansion houses and Gardens like the brochure and playing Chess. It did rain on and off but he was under the big tent there. I looked around but didn't buy anything as prices were high eg £5 for a pancake! The cleaning routine has been put on hold this week as,  apart from stripping the bed and doing 2 loads of washing I've been in quite a lot of pain from the tooth extraction so decided to rest. Feeling better today so hopefully it will continue healing now. Son did the vacuuming for me which was a big help. Managed to sell some china and clothes on ebay and send it all but thats about it.                                          ...

The Dog Show

          1st Prize for the Waggiest Tail We decided to enter the dogs in the Dawlish Carnival Dog Show just for fun. Ava, our granddaughter, and our daughter were staying with us so Ava was delighted to take one of the dogs in the ring. She was closely followed by OH holding our other dog. Molly won the waggiest tail, coming first and was rewarded with a rosette and cone of dog biscuits. Her tail does wag constantly and at least twice the speed of other dogs lol. Nice afternoon there and thankfully the weather stayed dry for the day. Ava had a go on the bouncy castle and Mark won her a soft toy penguin on the rifle range. Managed to get the washing dry on the line today as tomorrow's forecast is heavy rain and thunder storms. It really seems like Autumn rather than August atm. The Carnival parade is tomorrow but we won't be going to that due to the weather. Bye for now All the best x

Busy times and what a Bargain

Image
Ready for family visiting   Went back to my friend's home last week and OH sorted out the base for the greenhouse. He used to work as a buildings manager/builder so knew how to do it properly. Will probably go again in a few weeks when all visiting family leave. ATM we have son here for a fortnight and daughter, granddaughter and eldest son coming for next weekend! Quite a houseful really. I went to a car boot sale last weekend and bought 2 brand new, sealed in packet Dorma duvet covers and matching pillow cases. Can't believe the price only £13 for all of it. Has to be my bargain of the year. Also bought a pretty M&S top for me for £1 and a small football game table for the grandchildren.  OH bought a concrete Dragon garden ornament, another plant and a plant pot.  We also drove to Dawlish last week as they had an event on the lawns there with music and various drink and food stalls. OH enjoyed testing the different beers lol. I'm not Tea- Total but don't drink ...
