Welcome to todays diary entry! Another nice day in the bustling metropolis that is Northwich/ Anderton and as we have got an incredibly busy July and tomorrow is my only day off for god knows how long i thought we could do a pub stop over somewhere but then i had an even better idea which was to have a nice on a local campsite so after work i we were on our way and off we popped to Blakemere Holiday Park in Cuddington which is about a 10 – 15 minute drive away. This is one of our absolute faves and somewhere we have spent a lot of time at over the years.
Let me start at the beginning though, to be honest the day didn’t start great as i weighed myself and i had somehow managed to put on 6lb compared to the previous day which cannot be right so either yesterday was wrong or today was wrong but either it started me off in a huff. I am not sure i am eating a lot so cannot quite see why i am not losing at least a little bit of weight. If anything i seem to be putting it on. I think if i am serious about losing it i am going to have to start doing exercise and just not changing what i eat and just have the calories of the exercise to get me below where it needs to be.

Having 2 McDonalds breakfasts probably doesn’t help either but it is what it is. Work was relatively busy today or certainly felt like it although not many big deals on awnings or anything, with the weather as it is most people are looking for gas for BBQs and for patio heaters and things like that. Lots of smaller transactions. We are due a bit of a 4 day heat wave so we will see how that impacts the business positively or negatively. We have spent the last 2 days off grid just to check that all my solar bits and pieces are working correctly and i am delighted to say that is is definitely up and running now. I have to change some settings on the battery level indicator but it definitely seems to be working now.
I am so so so so pleased with it and i think that is pretty much us now for set up on the motorhome i cannot think of anything else that we need or want. I have a new turbo vent here that i need fitting and wouldn’t mind getting a new smaller vent in the bath room which looks like it has seen better days. Also another 12v tv but after that then we are absolutely set up with a motorhome which has been pretty much modified specifically for what we need it to do. I also want to take the big table out as well. It is huge and it is a right pain in the neck but I’m not doing that until i have found a replacement table that can fit in the gap. A finally a new shower curtain rail as our shower curtain is folding bits of plastic and it is held together with gorilla tape. But once those bits are done. We are set!
