The alarm got me up at eight, i came down and watched the news for a little and then got on with cleaning the kitchen, then the living room, the hall, put the washing away, tidied the bedroom then dug out an outfit, had a shower and got dressed. I came down and had another coffee, then went online and did some bits and pieces, ant phoned to say he was at St. Pancras waiting for the train. I set off to pick him up at eleven, making a quick stop to check the bank, i got to Lille with about five mins to spare, only to see his train was delayed by ten mins, so i sat and people watched for fifteen mins.
We got back on the road and headed home as soon as he arrived, he talked on for a bit in the car, as per, and we both had a good chat, he intimated he fancied a drink this evening, another trip to Hesdin. When we got home he unloaded, put the flowers he had bought for me into a vase, nice variegated pink roses, and i opened his just to say i love you card. I went online and checked the electricity bill, it was still saying i could not open the bill so i got a bit fed up and phoned them. They told me because the refund was so large they had stopped it and couldn't tell me when it would be paid, i hit the roof a little, we are talking about nearly 1500 euro's we have over paid, and demanded to speak to a manager, this got something done as the operator then told me she had refunded the money and it will be in our account in a fortnight.
Ant went up to bed and i went in to Hesdin, the bank was shut so i couldn't nip in and top up the account, our transfer still hadn't hit the account, a bit of a pain. I headed up to Lidl and bought three bottles of wine and a couple of bags of rice cracker snacks and bits for the chili. When i got back i took the dogs on a fast walk for half an hour then got the trampette out and did half an hour on that. I put the chili together and left it to simmer for a good while then got ant up. We sat and chatted for a while then had some wine and tucked in to the chili, not bad considering it is something i never make, then followed the usual evening of wine and chat followed by Glee, which i don't really remember now, then tumbling upstairs to bed.
