A council estate raised British city girl trying to make it in rural Canada

Hammer time

We were lucky enough to be approved to adopt the new doggy - Yay - I meet the lady who has him now a week today, at a truck stop to pick him up. (On a scale of 1 - 10 how dodgy does that sound lol).

We are doing it this way because she lives roughly 4 hrs away from me, and we have been forecast snow for 3 days around then - so we thought it best that I didn't drive all that way just in case.

So Cash the wonder flid had best get used to his last week of freedom before his poor little pampered ass gets a reality check lol.

As the countdown to Darcy coming home is nearing completion - I am obviously getting MY ass into gear, cleaning, moving, sorting and completing tasks that should have been done last week (why didn't I do them then????)

In about an hour, after i've wrtten this I will be going to the dump - we live rurally and don't have a binman - so anything you wanna chuck away - you do it yourself. Which is why I'm glad I own a truck - chuck it all in the back - drive to tip - open tailgate - kick everything out - shut tailgate - leave!!!!!!

Also after I have been to the tip i'll pop into town - I have a cupboard full of purses shoes and clothes that seriously are never ever going to get worn here - and I have a 1 year rule. If it aint worn in a year it gets donated. So yesterday was spent ruthlessly throwing stilettos and skirts into black bin bags to take to the salvation army.

I will of course not mix up the bags for the tip and the thrift store, as i'm sure the ittle old ladies behind the counter don't want to shove their heads in a bag full of mouldy cheese and coffee grounds.

After that I shall return home and finish off some staining of baseboards in the basement that we are renovating, then move the dead trees in the yard, do some laundry, vacuum and mop floors, tidy basement a bit and sit down exhausted.

Alternatively it could read - couldn't be bothered, i'll do it tomorrow, am having wine.

I agree with the wine part of this
