Day 1497 flying to Bristol for a weekend in Exmouth ✈️

I have been awake on and off for most of the night. I did wake before midnight with such a fright that Khaleesi was at my feet! How can you sleep when a 6ft 3 guy and a dog get into bed and don’t wake you?!?!?

I got up for the loo 3 times…. And finally gave in and got out of bed at 4.50am.

We parked at the Flying Soct car park. We got that for £40.99 which is the cheapest for Glasgow. Edinburgh had much cheaper parking but no use to us today 😂😂

The 3 minute transfer time was closer to about 20 minutes but that’s ok. We were still there in plenty time according to my anxious brain.

No stress this morning. All calm and straightforward. It’s lovely to have Craig with me for a change.

Our flight was delayed by about an hour…. The plane was late landing then they couldn’t find a tug to push us out. Who knew that wee thing was called a tug?!? Makes sense!

I wrote this in the queue for the toilets at Bristol Airport and haven’t stopped all day.

We had a lovely lunch at Helen’s mums where we’re staying.

There are lovely lanes in Devon.

Then went for a walk along Exmouth beach.

Tho I this is the boat we’ll be on for the wedding reception tomorrow.

Craig’s turned into a dinosaur!!

Then we had a lovely chippy tea with all the family and watched this lovely sunset from the living room.

A lovely end to a lovely day and it’s 9.40pm!!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1241 another whirlwind of a day but a deposit on Abbie!

I got to bed about midnight last night and managed about 5 hours sleep. My alcohol free head has felt hungover all day… that’s very unfair. Shows how much of a hangover is actually sleep deprivation!

Was lovely to see do many neighbours out on their glad-rags last night! Megan was stunning and Stewart is a very handsome lad! It was lovely to be a part of their day.

I shockingly didn’t get any other photos other thank a lovely shot of the twinkling hall way at Dalduff Farm.

AND despite my best intentions, I completely lost track of time and forgot all about the blue moon that was due between 8.19 and 8.25.

I missed the “once in a blue moon”. 😆

I did get photos of the moon when we left.

So up this morning and out super early to get to Tartan to wash Abbie the Campervan in time for her 3.30pm viewing.

By 8.51am they said they weren’t coming. 😳

I am SO proud of the way I handled that whole thing. I love when I am so aware of my lack of reaction to something. I’d upset the lovely lady who had made the offer for Abbie. She spent the evening talking herself out of it. I’d been stressed and late leaving the house for the wedding last night, k thought about it a lot. I’d gone against my gut feel for some more money.

As soon as I knew the others weren’t coming, I was pleased instead of raging, as I knew my gut feel has been right. I wanted to accept her offer last night and leave it there but I took the advice to wait for more.

Of course I would have got more for the van if they’d wanted her but hey… in my life now, a gut feel is really important. I trust my own intuition 100%, I may just question it a lot but it’s only because I still don’t trust my own opinion above others.

So I messaged the lovely lady straight back and through the course of the day she paid me a good deposit!! I have no idea when she’s coming to get her but I drove like Miss Daisy tonight…. I must investigate that saying, I use it too much!

So I’m sitting at Silverburn Shopping Centre now waiting on Lea as we’re meeting for coffee tonight. The sun is shining so I’m sitting outside on a bench instead of going in.

As usual writing this I feel relaxed and calm.

I’ve sold Abbie the Campervan. The end of an era but the start of something exciting for me, like what on earth will I buy next?!?

I thought it would be a VW Caddy so I could still camp but I honestly think my mind might be changing…. Back to a normal car, with reversing sensors and all the mod cons. Hmmmm food for thought!!
