Tis valentines day,not as big a deal as i would like,still at least i carved a spoon for Sarah and she as always seemed pleased with it.
Up early as Sarah had to take the car for MOT at zeal's garage,the boys were a little restless so we got ready and all walked the dogs up to the post box and back,one letter was to the author of the North Stoneham book of which my family takes a large part.Once home Sarah was already there ,and the car failed and we are looking at around £400.00 to get it through an MOT and then £200.00 to tax it,and we have to have a car out here in the arse end of beyond,which means serious cuts in the budget over the next month ,seems like something keeps coming along! i need to find a way to make some more cash.
After breakfast with Sarah we all piled into the car and went over to Sutton veny for two new tyres for the front of the car,£120.00 !! still the old boy that runs it let me have a couple of hundred big bearings for catty ammo,then it was off to lidles for some shopping,this week the family lives off £40.00 for food for the six of us!we stopped briefly at home to drop off the shopping then it was loading the car up ready for more work at wincanton,once there it became apparent that the building site had taken my wood from the Merrel's garden so there was a hoo ha over that,we got more done and Sarah cooked sausages over an open fire which hadn't ,believe it or not ,done before.Next on the list of things to do was go over to tammsens place to fix a wobbly wardrobe,it turned out to be a complete rebuild which will need finishing in the morrow!
Tea tonight is faggots,mash and french beans with gravy,and after a day out in the cold i am really looking forward to it as is Sarah and the boys.
