This weeks shopping was from Booths.
As you can see I didn't buy much, apart from not really needing too much I am quickly running out of available cash as I crawl slowly towards my first State Penson pay out in May. The money I made from my Facebook Marketplace sales is just about keeping me on the straight and narrow, as the interest on my savings is also going down and down each month. I am now paying for all the necessary things for the renovation as Alan's account has virtually emptied.
We are not destitute by any means ... as the next paragraph clearly shows, but I am determined to stick to my guns and make it to my first pension date by using cash.
I called into Booths because Alan wanted me to pick up a bacon bun and a takeaway coffee for him while he was hard at work in the bungalow. I had been to the hairdressers so I was in the vicinity. I got myself a coffee too and we sat on the back step discussing garden plans now that we know the way the sun hits the garden at various times of the day.
It going to be a long time until the garden looks anything like a garden. This photo was taken at the start of the month, but apart from a few weeds appearing on the soil and rock pile nothing has changed ... but we can make plans. 😄
The front garden is very similar.

Hang on in there, Sue, May is almost upon us and you will have achieved your goal!
ReplyDeleteI fancied an iceberg lettuce this week but the one Sainsbury's delivered leaves much to be desired. The first few outer leaves hit the compost, they were so limp and horrible. Yours looks lovely.
