Superbly I managed to finish one of my clients decking today. It seems to have been going on for an eternity, and after the Ronseal incident I was anxious to get the task completed and move on. After a week of continuous greying drizzle the sky was blue today, the clouds light and fluffy and I worked on my tan as I hunched awkwardly for a painstaking four hours, brushing up and down, this way and that. The decking, in my opinion, now looks great and shouldn’t get into such a state of disrepair again for several years, though once again it came close to not being finished as it came to the final dregs of stain to complete. 

Along with my happy mood came that inevitable shopping lust and after receiving a 50% sale email (yes, that’s 50% everyone!) from ASOS I couldn’t bear not to look, just in case I might miss any incredible bargains! Lucky enough I found some, and they will be winging their way to me in the next few days while I wait with quiet anticipation. Control thrown to the wind (for I really don’t earn enough to be blowing more money this month) I was clicking away filling my shopping basket when I remembered that Ellen had in fact offered me a £10 off voucher if you spent £60 and deciding that I ought to take advantage of this I held off instantly buying, leaving my screen open, just so I could check back later if I needed to. Lucky I did! I went back to the shoes page and to my horror the pair I wanted were now sold out – I had the last pair in my basket. Well of course, I couldn’t wait, I had to have those shoes and I had to have them in an 11. To find such a pair of shoes and then lose them at the last might would have been devastating! Thank goodness I looked back!

Can’t wait to get my goodies…..though no more spending! What with maximuscle, grain for the chickens, pee pads for Toby (my neuro cat who has the annoying habit of peeing in the house) and now this…the second clothes spend of the month, I’m going to be totally broke!
