Thursday 31st July was a busy day for both of us, work-wise. I tried my best to hit sales targets I had set for myself but had fallen a bit short. I had to keep reminding myself that it was a slow slog and it wasn’t going to make me rich over night, or even in the first couple of years. I was still very much enjoying being part of Resort Experts and felt I’d made the right decision by going back in to the travel industry. We both worked hard with a very quick break for lunch which was left over fajitas with added fresh tomatoes and mozzarella balls. We were both in the front bedroom using the camping table as a desk and 2 camping chairs – this wasn’t good for my back as I couldn’t really reach the table properly. I also had the empty box from my new suitcase delivery as a side table. When I got tired I lay on my front on the bed to type. The good news was that the internet was getting fixed tomorrow as Virgin had finally got the message and were sending an engineer out. We still didn’t have a mirror anywhere in the house so I searched for one in the stuff left by the previous owners. I found a small heavy one which wouldn’t even go in the bathroom. I stood it up in the corner of the bedroom until I found somewhere useful to put it.
By 6pm, Captain Caveman had decided to treat me to fish and chips from the nearest chippy. Carleton Fisheries only opens 4-7.30pm on the weekdays and just at lunch time on a Saturday – it got good reviews online. It was £8.70 for a portion of fish and chips which we got 2 of to take home. I had salt and vinegar on mine because I knew we didn’t have any condiments back at the house.
We sat in the camping chairs in the front room and really enjoyed them. I’d even go so far as to say they were as good as Tony’s in Mosborough. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a cup of tea afterwards as we didn’t have any tea bags or milk! Before bed I realised I’d forgotten to do my measurements yesterday or update my income and expenditure spreadsheet for the end of the month. I was getting a bit slack now that I was in the UK! August was looking to be a jam-packed month with the first 11 days of it being spent in England.
