Not that old. Bought it 3 years ago after I bought one for OH as well. Liked it so much for its convenience and easy pocketability that I bought a spare 6 months later. Cost was £12. sits in pocket with coins and keys etc and face protected. Battery life is still around 12 days. Love it.
Strange thing was that when I bought them on my travels they were on sale at three outlets. Two outlets they were locked to EE. I bought all from EE shops as they came unlocked from there. Surprised me.

Wet and windy here this morning, so not a lot to get up for! Not looking forward to working in the garage today, much better when the sun is shining.
Behind schedule with those below oven drawers, only 2 out of 3 complete as I had a couple of other things to do yesterday, plus we had to go to DD's house to feed and water her budgies.
OH is planning a bit of a kitchen reorganisation, so we have purchased some drawer inserts from Ikea to tidy the utensils drawer....I think a bit of a clear out is needed too!
She is agitating for the new drawers to be finished today, so it will be off to the garage soon for me.

We've just got back to the caravan after shopping at Argos. We found a head torch in the catalogue but it wasn't in stock. So they are ordering it and will be available for collection on Monday.

That reminds me we have a lot of nectar points to spend at Argos, usually check things out on line, click and collect.
OH has just bought a greatly reduced hedge trimmer from the Lidl Outlet on line via e bay, more nectar points accrued and a bargain trimmer. What's not to like.

Good to get jobs done Kj. OH has been cutting and storing logs, which has cleared a few spaces outside where they'd been left to dry out. A nice morning now turned to rain. Must take our terrier out soon, next week we have the extra terrier for a whole week so will be busy.

Perched outside owner's bungalow again here at Foxhill Farm so must be quick!
Very sunny morning so we walked from Alderholt just up the road. A rather difficult walk with several stiles along the way. Harry finds them quite difficult these days but still makes a game effort to throw himself across them - I do worry about him landing on the other side but he seems to manage so fingers crossed for a while yet. Lady, of course, just waits to be lifted over!
This is a nice area, away from the busier parts of the New Forest, well wortha visit.

The only problem with that is the two nights away don't always coincide with the days off on the work rota. Some weeks I get split days off, although next week I'm on days off from Monday to Wednesday, three consecutive days off but we need to get the fridge fixed. So I've emailed the workshop at Chipping Sodbury Caravans to see if it can be done on Tuesday. If so, we could spend Monday night on the Cirencester Club site and then another night away somewhere else before returning to the seasonal pitch for another 21 nights.
It's very difficult to make any advance plans because the work rota changes every week. You only get two days notice and sometimes only a days notice before the new week's rota is given.

We've just been shopping at Tesco Extra as my prescription with Tesco Pharmacy was ready for collection.
I'll be working 18:00 to 23:00 tonight. I'm hoping they'll let me off early like they did last night.

I did say "make a week of it when you have your paid holidays"
Presumably you can book your holiday slot at work a bit ahead?
And can take a week off in one go?
Your work rota not fitting with your 2 nights away is irrelevant in that case.
Once you have your seasonal pitch for next year confirmed, you would be able to work out when you need to leave the site for the required 2 nights, then plan your holiday week to include those 2 nights.
Leaving your seasonal pitch "resets the clock" on your 21 night stay anyway, so even if you found it did not work out exactly, at the nightly price of your seasonal pitch, it is not a huge loss if you cannot incorporate the regular 2 nights away.
What's the problem with your fridge?

Just started to pack in anticipation of getting away on Tuesday for two weeks at a CS near Malton. It's my wife's 70th birthday in a week's time and I am doing a bbq party for 24, for her, whilst we are away in the van - with the assistance of outside caterers who are doing the 'fiddly bits'. Caravan freezer is already full of food and a marquee is being loaned by the kind owner of a CL near Bridlington - who has become a good friend over the years. We are taking two cars and hers has become a glorified wine carrier! All a bit of a logistical nightmare - thinking about having enough glasses, cutlery etc - but I'm sure it will be good fun on the day. Is there a well-connected member of CT who can have a word about the weather on the 20th??!!

Vaxing the caravan carpets, today. Unfortunately the auto spray seems to have packed up on the machine, so had to spray them with a hand sprayer and just use it to suck the water out. Considering it is only a year since we last did them and we take our shoes off in the van, the water was a horrible shade of grey. Anyway they look a lot brighter now.
