Thursday.

We both got up at 6.40 and had our breakfast. Next we had a coffee and I made a loaf of bread. H dismantled our dining table and we got it upstairs. At 10 he went for his Spanish lesson and I went up to turbo. I just had a nice steady ride and did 24 miles in an hour and a quarter. When H got home we had a salad sandwich for lunch with a coffee and then we lifted the dining room carpet. It was hard work! We wanted a piece of it for our small bedroom and the struggle to get it upstairs was unbelievable! We want part of the lounge carpet for the large bedroom so how we will ever manage to get a bigger bit upstairs I can’t imagine. For dinner tonight we had chicken curry which was nice.

Sun at last.

I got up at 6 put on a load of washing and made my porridge. We had a coffee and I hung the washing out. H lifted the landing and stairs carpet and the underlay ready for next week but we still have the dining room, centre hall and lounge to do. We keep clumping up and down the stairs, it’s so noisy without the carpet! I got out of the way by going outside and doing some gardening. It took me all morning to cut round the edges of the half moon bed, the oval bed and all the way down one side of the lawn. I had already done round the patio and the strip in front of the patio doors so all I have left to do is the other side of the grass. While I was doing that H turboed after he finished the carpet. We had a fried egg sandwich for lunch with a coffee. This afternoon I read my book and for dinner tonight we had quiche with mushrooms and tomatoes. All my washing is lovely and dry and it was so nice to be outside working in the sun.

Tuesday. .

I got up at 10 past 7 and had jam on toast for breakfast. The trouble was I thought it was 10 past 6 so I had a leisurely breakfast, read my magazine had a coffee and went up to make the bed and dressed. Then I looked at the time and it was 9.30 an hour later than I thought it was! So I had to change again ready for a bike ride!! I did the same ride as yesterday and managed to do it 28 seconds faster!! When I had finished I had a shower and we had lunch, a sausage roll, cup s soup and a coffee. H went up for a ride. He did the same as me but he did it 4 minutes faster. When H finished we had a cup of tea and a slice of cake. For dinner tonight we had spaghetti bolognese, it was very tasty.

Monday.

I got up at 6.30 and put on a load of washing then I had porridge for breakfast. We had a coffee and I helped H move our sideboard. It was hard and took ages. It’s so heavy we had to empty it first and stack all the crockery on the table, I still couldn’t pull my side out because my back is still painful so H ended up doing it on his own. We had a coffee and began to carry things upstairs. At 10 I got ready to turbo, I rode for an hour and a bit. In the hour I did 20.3 miles. I have never been so hot! I only wore my shorts and vest with the window wide open and was boiling!! I had a shower, read a chapter of my book and then sorted lunch, we had a corned beef sandwich, a slice of cake and a cup of tea. I had hung my washing out earlier but when I looked out of the window it was raining! I got my washing in again and it was as wet as it was when I hung it out. For dinner tonight we had pork chops, broccoli, carrots and mashed potato with gravy. It was very nice.

Mothering Sunday..

We both got up at 6.30, I put on a load of washing ( sheets etc) and we had our breakfast, H had toast and I had porridge.  We  had a coffee and I put the washing into the tumble dryer because it’s pretty damp outside. I made the coffee cream for my cake and when it was done it looked pretty good. Tastes nice too. Next I cleaned the cloakroom and swept the kitchen floor. All 3 of my lovely children rang to wish me happy mother’s day. This afternoon no 1 son and his wife came round,and the next minute it was daughter and our youngest granddaughter. I have 3 lovely cards and I am so proud of my lovely kids who have all done so well in their lives. A basket if gorgeous flowers and plants and a bottle of wine from daughter, a fantastic outdoor, wall hanging clock/ thermometer from no 1 son and no2 son is taking me to the garden centre when he next comes home. We all had a great afternoon together and a nice catch up. Our lunch was sausage rolls and cake. For dinner tonight we had pasta with chicken, broccoli, carrot, onions and peas in a white sauce. Now I will watch the final of S C D.

Saturday.

H woke me up at 6.20, I put on a load of washing and we had our breakfast. We then got ready and went to Asda. When we came back we had a coffee and H went up to the pain cave for a bike ride. I hung out my washing, brought the bin in, swept the kitchen floor, made the bed and then got on with some baking. I made sausage rolls, melting moments, and a coffee and walnut sponge, it took me all morning and has given me backache!! We had sausage rolls and melting moments for lunch with a cup of coffee. Then this afternoon I made a shepherds pie for dinner tonight. I got my washing in, all dry. I had a bath and did some veg to go with our pie, we had sprouts, carrots and cabbage. I am now going to watch Crufts laying flat on my back to see if I can get rid of the pain.

Friday.

I got up at 6.30 and hung out yesterday’s washing,  I didn’t have enough to make a load today, one of my rare days. I had toast for a change for breakfast and then a coffee. While H was on the turbo trainer I got on with some housework. Our house is in a terrible state, the carpet men aren’t coming till the 20th but we have taken all the cupboards out of the lounge but most of the clutter that was in them is all over the place. Never the less I feel quite excited at the prospect of a complete new look in our lounge. We had a cheese sandwich for lunch with celery and a coffee and then I spent the afternoon at the hairdressers. For dinner tonight we had jacket potatoes, mushrooms, peas and a fried egg.
