Morning, everyone!  It is definitely cooler this morning - no windows thrown open right now.  I tried and closed them again because it felt cold!  Lovely!

I finally got round to sorting out the car.  To be fair, it wasn't that bad apart from the boot and that was only the shopping bags which, I swear, breed while I'm not looking.  Anyway, all sorted now, some bags have been chucked, the Christmas bags are now separate in in a cupboard, the plastic bags are also tucked away for when needed and the ones I always use are in a bag back in the boot with a couple of chill bags and a bottle bag.  MUCH better.
Inside the car was fine.

I did a bit of garden pottering after filling a rectangular container with good stuff from the bottom of the compost bin.  I dug up all the self seeded foxglove babies and replanted some of the bigger ones in the container.  They immediately flopped over, of course but this morning most of them seem to have revived so fingers crossed.  It will make a nice, moveable display next summer, I hope.

And . . . 

Hidden among the foxglove babes was - another dahlia!  It wasn't there last year so I guess one of then from last year did a triffid on me.  I'm pretty sure it is a dahlia anyway but time will tell.

A not very good snap of the confused dahlia - see those buds!!

I also managed a load of washing but left the ironing for today.

I spent a short time working out ways and means of paying the large bills that are incoming - glasses, car service (which will involve new tyres) and the rest of the Christmas holiday in London although that is not due until October.  It's fine, the money is there but I like to have it all worked out - when to move money across and from where.
Also, making a bit of a plan to build the savings up again.
I do like to be organised with finances!

Today is Slimming World and then just stuff again.  Things have really calmed down since last week which is a great relief.

I have another Slimming World Kitchen box arriving at some point today.  That's the last for a while but it has served its purpose and it's nice to do now and again. 

Have a lovely Friday, everyone.  Stay safe and enjoy everything.  xx
