 I have recently done a bit of shopping, firstly these Clarks trainers were reduced to just £20, a great price, it was not a need but a want, who can resist a pair of pink shoes, they will look good with jeans. These are from their online outlet site, click here if you want to check them out, they are all perfect, just old designs, which does not bother me.

I found this Tshirt and jumper in the sale at Trespass, both for under £30, I blame hubby for this purchase, I was not going into the shop, he dragged me in. Both will be very useful, the Tshirt is 100% cotton, just great bargains.

We packed the outside furniture away, it's all under this cover, very compact, the chairs tuck under the bench and the cushions pile on top, the cover is totally waterproof, we are waiting for a cover to arrive for the table, no room in the garage this year. 

I was sent a copy of this gardening magazine with seeds, for two years I subscribed to them it finished last year, I have no idea why this was sent, I tried to email them, but was blocked as I don't have an account anymore?

Tender plants are in the greenhouse, other pots are moved to ensure a clear walking space, ornaments are all in a big box in the garage. I still have to mulch the veg beds, I have everything for my new spring bulb pots, Molly wants to come and help me create them. The rest of this week is rainy days, so a timely sort.

Monday we sorted both bedrooms, we slept in our spare room, giving our visitor our big room an en-suite,  BIL was rested ready for his long drive home. We have sorted the fridge, froze a few bits and checked dates to ensure nothing is wasted.

Tuesday it rained all day, later I sat with the children whilst daughter met their teachers, all three children had great reports, both Molly and George were very tired. Today, Wednesday is another very wet day, I have to pop to town on the bus to deliver a birthday card, then home for another blood test and Lilly's second vet visit.

I am pleased with my purchases, I should not need anything else this year. I have packed away the Christmas bits, we have ordered a huge book for Will, he told hubby he wanted it on Sunday.

I have pulled out my cotton Christmas fabrics, I have decided on my patchwork, with my back still feeling great I can get my sewing machine out. I have also all the ingredients for our cakes, we have had a few busy days, hopefully I can get them done at the weekend.
