That pretty much sums up my blogging attempts recently, as well as my diet!
But am doing OK on the house front at least, decluttered everything when we moved out and have kept on top of it since moving in. Had a funny story with a sofa that I ordered back in January; no sign of it 2 months later and the store discovered that the courier had lost it so refunded our money. How on earth does a sofa get lost?
So I duly ordered a different one from another store (and got £100 off when they reduced the price the following week), only to receive a message from the original courier the next day - to arrange delivery of the lost sofa! Needless to say it arrived and was promptly eBayed, another wedge of cash that we will spend at Legoland next weekend, but that's a tale for another day.
But karma came to haunt me! I felt a tad guilty about not 'fessing up about the sofa so decided to donate to charity a load of old furniture that I was going to eBay. And of course got less for the brand new sofa than I probably would have got for the rest, so haven't really benefited. Oh well, at least I can sleep at night!
Had a few manic months entertaining recently, making up for 6 months living in the van. Culminated in a big party last week to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Have been experimenting with pulled pork recently and nailed it on the night! 12 hours in a low oven, covered in a smoked paprika rub and apple juice, accompanied by homemade coleslaw with apple and fennel seeds. Oh, and a ridiculously hot chipotle sauce which was lush!
