Saturday

Good morning, everyone.  The weekend has started and I hope you've got some good things planned.

Yesterday was a lovely do.  I got loads done although there's still stuff on the list.  It can wait though.

I changed the bed and washed the sheets.  It's always nice getting into a bed with clean sheets, isn't it?  I can understand why the posher hotels change the sheets every day.
I got my corner tidied so when my cleaner arrived, there was nothing in the way.
I drove off to Sainsburys to do my shopping and, surprise, surprise, bought some clothes.  Not loads, but . . . oh, well.  I also got some new bedding for the guest room.  Not an impulse; as when I ironed it all after the Christmas holiday usage, I was shocked at how battered it has become but, fair enough, it has to be a good twenty years old so it's earned its space over the years.  I saw what I liked yesterday so I bought two single quilt covers with pillow cases and another pair of pillowcases as there will be two pillows on each bed.  That's now all washed, ironed and aired and today I shall pop them on the beds so I'm ready for whoever my next visitor will be.
I also got the printer ink (ouch) and various other bits and bobs that added up to an eye watering total  but never mind - this is the month of two state pensions as it's paid every four weeks.
Once home, I sorted everything out, started the new bedding in the machine and generally pottered.  It was all very pleasant.

Today I am out at a Thermomix course over lunch time so I guess that will take up the useful time of the day as when I get home I will sit with a coffee and chill for the rest of the day with my knitting and the foodie mags I bought yesterday.
Lazy me!!!

  1. It seems like you have earned a rest today after all that shopping LOL! Your guest room will look lovely with new bedding it is always a good way to revive a room.
    Printer inks are really dear - I found that Wilkos are a better price - a bit cheaper than Sainsburys usually but they only stock the most popular ones.

  2. What the heck is a Thermomic course........I shall Google.
    As for printer ink costs........really annoying and my printer will only work with epson cartridges, I tried a cheap version and it just came up with "Not compatible"!

    1. :-) A Thermomix is a shockingly expensive but wonderfully flexible and useful kitchen gadget, the only one I would find it hard to manage without. When you watch cheffy programmes, there's always one in the background but it's never named.
      I bought it with a small inheritance and have never regretted spending the money, ever.

    2. Ooops, just realised I typed it wrong and have corrected it. There's an x at the end, not a c. Sorry.

  4. Hope you had a lovely relaxing afternoon with the knitting and foodie mags. I pulled out some cook books to look at (again) to try to work out some new food for this week. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
