What are you all up to today? - part 3

We've just been shopping at the town centre Tesco and bought a bottle of white wine for £3.95 and a reduced price sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice for tonights meal which just has to be heated in the microwave for 4 mins. We also bought some sausages, bacon and tomatoes for breakfast for tomorrow morning along with some reduced price bread finger rolls.

We've still got three more hours at work, so we're keeping our food and wine chilled in the electric cool box at the back of the car plugged into the 12 volt cigar lighter. It's just as good as a fridge.

Total cost just over £13.

Turned out to be a lovely day after waking up to rain first thing.  Rode the bikes through the woods,  lots of red Kites about today in the sunshine.  Have noticed this time that the woods have been much quieter than usual, far less families out and about.

Write your comments here...Could that be something to do with the football? I couldn't help noticing how much quieter the roads were when England were playing!

It's raining here in the Worthing town centre where we are sitting in the car waiting for the next order. 

Congratulations to the B2 family

Same here. All the best.

It was quiet there too after the weekend, when we were there towards the end of May. While you were cycling round did you notice how much of the forest has been open up? Very different from the last time we visited.

Yes, they have been clearing areas,  although not much more since we were here in August last year. They are digging up the courtyard area in front of the cafe and cycle shop, which may be keeping visitors away.  Site only half full tonight, although warden said they are expecting a few in tomorrow. 

Heard at 7.25am today our granddaughter has arrived .  Born 4.30pm Sunday 26 June.  Hard to get your head around as you wake up haha. Mother and baby doing well. . She's beautiful. Next couple of weeks are gonna drag!

Wonderful news, you must all be absolutely thrilled to bits.

They'd (not sure who) had marked out the roadways when we were there. It's taken them a few weeks to get onto the job by the looks of it. We like the site during the week but it gets too busy for us at the week-ends.

It's a bit grey here this morning. It's our second morning since returning to Northbrook Farm. We'll need to go to the bank to bank the weekend's earnings this morning to keep funds flowing in to cover forthcoming direct debit payments.

We also have some huge expenses coming up. The annual car service is due next month. Last time I had an annual service the bill came to over £700. The car also needs new tyres so that bill will come to about £600. Yesterday, I had to fill more fuel into the car. I just bought £29 worth. It's quicker that way because I can use contactless payment as long as the bill is under £30. Much faster than pin and chip!

However, the downside is that it does mean having to visit the petrol station more often. On a busy day I can use £15 worth of fuel in one day! 

On average, I think I do 50 miles a day in deliveries. On a weekend it's busier and the mileage can go up to between 80 to 90 miles a day.

I reckon each mile costs about 25 pence in fuel. So just getting from the club site to the town centre, a distance of 4 miles is a one pound hit to my finances. There and back costs 2 quid.

moving to Broadway, later this morning, hoping for better weather than we've had here in Ludlow. 

shame, as the Huck's Barn Farm CL is a lovely place to sit out, but not in the rain....

cycled out to Berrington Hall yesterday but got slightly 'damp' on the way back....

well, we need some sunshine and a decent performance from England otherwise there'll be trouble.... 

however, thanks to my darling OH, we will be having dinner with some 'real' footballers on the 30th July......
