The Big Push Day 12

I awoke reinvigorated from my lazy day yesterday and got straight into the swing of things, i had my coffee and did the blog as usual but only allowed myself 30 mins online before heading off out to Hesdin. I checked the bank to see if the money was in, it wasn't so i will need to go in on Tuesday as well, then went to Mr Bricolage and bought three tins of paint and some weed killer. When i got back i started on the second coat of the stairs, masked everything off so ant would not have to cut in and got painting. I had just finished the cutting in when Janine arrived so i stopped and had a chat to her, she had brought me a courgette and some tomatoes so i sent her away with a cabbage and a cauliflower. Whilst Janine was here mam in law phoned, so i said i would phone her back once Janine had gone, which i did. The i made another start, again just as i was getting into it the phone rang, it was ant. A member of the crew he was working with had died on route and he was a little shaken by it and had to speak to me, so we chatted and he seemed a little happier, the only thing is we now don't know when he is going to get back.
Eventually i managed to get the painting finished, it doesn't look too bad, but it could look better. After this i headed over to Chris and Allan to say hello, i hadn't seen them at all over the weekend and i didn't want to be rude. They are having work done in their house too and Simon was there so we all sat with a cuppa and chatted for a while, then i headed back. On returning i decided to try and tackle the hall ceiling, i managed to mock something together and just hope it doesn't look too bad when it has been painted, then i called it a day.
I cleaned the house and myself up, planned the evenings viewing, then made dinner, lowly pork chops with brussel sprouts, peas and chips tonight, not very appealing but very welcome as it was the first food i had had all day. The tv was drivel as usual and a bit later in the evening i went on line to catch ant on skype, we chatted for a while then he went off to sleep and i went back to the sofa. By nine thirty i was watching ace ventura call of the wild, what a croc of rubbish, so i turned it off, put the dogs out for their evening constitutional and went back on mine for a while, then headed off to bed and read.
