Looking for the silver lining

Morning all !

Got my day at home yesterday, not exactly feet up as had to go to the shop and take the dog out. Mr SA had his feet up all day and was no help whatsoever. He was pressing to go into town for a coffee but I stood my ground. However, I can't get out of it today unfortunately. Hopefully if we go early it shouldn't too busy. I could do with picking up a few bits anyway but I really don't want it to turn into lunch as I've got the dentist this afternoon and then that's another day gone. Because I'm meeting my friend for lunch tomorrow after the hairdressers Mr SA is sulking, saying he'll be on his own and threatening to go into town for a coffee on his own (a very scary thought!). I can't stop him but he's behaving like a child to be honest, he knows I'll worry about him. I don't want him to join me for lunch because I want a gossip with my friend without him there. If you can remember the last time I took him with me in the summer when he ruined the evening. I feel like just when my kids are grown up and off my hands I've got another one to replace them.

Payday tomorrow so will be paying some off debt but more importantly paying the spending card bill which is rather more than I would like it to be but then I've been free range spending for the past few weeks (annoyed with myself about this) so only have myself to blame. Checked the date of the end of the 0% card and it's a bit earlier than I thought - 28 January. I might have to end up lending myself the money out of savings to clear the last bit, I don't want to get involved in balance transferring again, especially for such a small amount.

Thank you Robin, good to hear from you

What an ordeal in town today, Mr SA forgot to take his stick and ended up stumbling about clinging on to my shoulder like a drunk. We didn't stay long, it was heaving and not a pleasant place to be. Plus we're back to the too warm for December weather again so I was sweating in my winter coat.

Had a filling removed and replaced at the dentist so not as bad as I thought but still not what you want at Christmas. Numbness has only just worn off. Didn't cost anything as have Denplan insurance - my dentist went private a few years ago and everyone had to take this out.

I was so so sad to hear about the tragedy in Glasgow town centre today what an absolutely dreadful thing to happen. I can't even begin to imagine the shock for the families of the people involved. Why is there always a tragedy so close to Christmas, it happens every year. My heart goes out to those affected.
