  • Hello :wave:

    Still plugging away here. NSD the last two days. DD1 is given money but returns it unspent :confused:. She also brought me a lovely bracelet from a car boot.

    Budget seems reasonably on line some overspends some under. 12 days till payday.

    -1251.43 savings
    12492.47 loan
    67.72 current
    1710 citi
    736 tesco
    13754.76 TOTAL


    This may go up or stay the same when planned spends from savings are due from May.

    Have just read about your ankle KP, hope your feeling better today. Make sure you rest it loads and enjoy your time off (that's if work don't send your work home)
  • Thanks GR

    I hope they do send some work GR I am so bored. This weekend has been spent between lying on the bed and couch with the ocassional hobble to the comfort room! I am really worried about putting on weight due to inactivity. Being very unfit and overweight at the moment its too easy to do nowt but eat. I have hobbled a bit more today so will try a bit more each day without going mad. I dont want to have any extra healing time. Its six weeks with no weight on the foot and Im only 5 days in :eek:.

    Thankfully its more discomfort and imobility rather than pain so thats a bonus.

    Spends wise OH had £10 yesterday for some shopping with pillows included. I am using four at the moment and a rolled camping blanket! £48 on another Tesco shop. Cant seem to get a handle on that at the moment.

    Nowt else to be done as DD2 has fallen on her arm and hurt it quite badly. 90% it just needs to heal but the 10% in me that thinks there is a small chance of a break means OH unhappily and reluctantly sent up to A&E for the second time in as many weeks.

    I am very tired and hungry. Leg feels like a boot left on that needs taking off :mad:. DD1 in charge of cooking a pizza :eek:

  • With all the excitment I have overdone it and my foot feels weird so resting. DS downstairs watching cartoons, DD1 at youth group and no news from hospital except waiting for xray :(. Hindsights great eh try to get a bit of exercise and it backfires.

    Did have £40 in my purse but now gone on odds n sods including some Golf I believe:mad:. Feeling a bit out of control at the moment.

    Hate waiting want to cuddle DD2 and make it all better. Not be stuck in bed.
