DINING OUT

 TUESDAY  - How time flies life is going so fast a week pass very quickly June is flying bye .The garden is benefiting from the days of rain  that we have been having over the last few days and everything in the garden is blooming and growing and coming to life.

Its raining this morning I cant walk the dogs so I had a coffee usually as soon as I am dressed I let the cats in and I walk the dogs .But today I had coffee and manage to sit down which was nice for me but the dogs are pissed off ,as soon the rain stops I will take them out .

WEDNESDAY - Our wage slips are online for us to view we are getting our pay rise and back pay and I have some overtime not a lot but it all helps all I want to say is I got a little more than I  envisaged I am happy I wish this was my regular monthly income I would be on easy street if it was , but it all spends hopefully on essential necessities and some extras roll on pay day back to getting my enhancements after my time on sick .

Need to go get some cat food and chicken thighs I also need to get some more honey chilli sauce before it all goes off the shelfs .

FRIDAY - Roll on pay day I think I will buy myself  a massive tomahawk steak to celebrate will maybe cook it with a couple of baked potatoes with three cheese fillings along with  , fried onions and stuffed mushrooms and some fresh warm crusty bread . Followed by chocolate fudge cake and ice cream .and a few bottles of vintage cider or scrumpy hopefully sat in the garden in the sun

Vodaphone are still saying I owe them money from March even though I have been into the store at Meadow Hall and shown them proof from my bank I even phoned the bank up and they confirmed the payment so my account was supposed to be updated for some reason they are still bugging me about I have not paid my May  bill until I know if I send them money its paying my phone bill contract they are still threating me with ending my contract with even a big bill I seem to be going round in circles .

At last after another phone call I reviewed a email from Vodphone saying that they finally found my missing payment no apology shit heads , least its settled sorted and hopefully closed .

TWO BARBIES TWO RESERVIORS

 SATURDAY - Was invited to a birthday barbecue at a little cottage in Golcar we took some pork chops , burgers , kebabs and sausages to cook on the grill there .The sun was out and it was hot/warm we had two young girls who live next door  join us and they where very happy go lucky and  made the evening it was a good evening even had a couple of beers no cider in sight .



Don't know what filter Helen had on her iPhone taking the photo below but I which I looked like that in the real world maybe fifteen years ago anyway I ain't complaining .


SUNDAY - Went on a walk I took the dogs out in the morning so we didnt want them out in the heat so they ws at home we walked two reservoirs Riding wood and Ramsden it was hot but part of the walk we was in the shade which helped its amazing how quick my water went half way trough the walk I was out not good .

After here we went to top of the moors where I walk the dogs some days we did a lap Helen did well she was feeling the heat and her. legs starting to hurt we got home and fired uo another barbecue the dogs had loads of chicken it was some of the food we had brought back from Saturday barbecue .

TIME OFF

 WEDNESDAY - Helen did a reading for a lady yesterday and what Helen told her made the woman think she was reading her diary , she was the accurate with all that she was picking , up the lady was totally blown away by what she was being told it gave her peace and she felt happy .

The next jeans I buy when I get paid are going to be from George at Asda the designed jeans I have bought the last five years wear out I have four pairs I rotate yet they all have holes in some black jeans I wear for work from Asda are fine so blue jeans from Asda instead of paying £85 I will be paying £18 a pair and they look just as good.

I also need two hoodies four t-shirts and two pairs of trainers which will sort me out for the next year or two .

The new Apple headset is mind blowing as well as the price but after watching the keynote I think its worth every penny if I only had a spare £3.5k if only maybe in the future the price will drop .


FRIDAY - Thank God the weekend looms hopefully its going to be hot the grill is ready for cooking the cider is in the fridge the meat still in the farm shop just waiting for me to buy it .

I have two weeks holidays booked last week in July first week in August these where the same weeks my father use to book for his annual leave  back in the day .I have still six weeks to take I have time booked of in October and December for mine and helens birthdays .
