    Well I took a month off posting on my diary. Mostly because I've recently sent an awful lot of people this way and I didn't want them finding me. :o but also I needed a break.

    Popeye however has nagged me daily to get back to posting properly. I'm not sure why, I think he takes real pride in our signature (our debts, so our siggie :o) But I think I've over estimated our debt this month, or double accounted for the overdraft or something..., so maybe at the beginning of September there'll be a nice fall :D

    Not a lot to report on the debt busting.
    I've given up Bingo/surveys/daily clicks :o and done no mystery shopping :o:o
    Popeye came home for a week, had flu and then left. :(
    DD has a job :jbut accidently strayed into the congestion zone and then forgot to deal with it, incurring a £60 fine :mad:
    Aged P's struggle onwards. Ma's memory has taken a turn for the worse and we spend a lot of time in her youth, and struggle to remember anything of now. :cry: But I've read a very supportive book, called Contented Dementia, and that has given us tools to deal kindly with her.
    Am learning words/drafting scenes and actually doing something about my writing. :p

    The plan for the next few days is:
    • a little bit of DIY (mending some render on the front of the house/painting door frames)
    • some garden clearance - very little was done in that WET July, but weeds are doing just dandy!
    • claim £70 from the carpet fitters for the carp job they did
    • investigate the next step in my campaign against an airline.....
    • help DD do another Boot at the weekend (sorting stuff, not actually attending :o)
    • get back to some OS catering (inspired by Bob ;))
    • do some cleaning (Hypno & Shaun to blame here ;))
    I've missed you all - thoough I've lurked. But I've enjoyed taking my foot off the pedals for a bit and now I'm back in the driving seat, for the last few laps. :p

    Thanks Shaun, I can rely on you for a good emoticon :rotfl:

    As for things to do.........Karmacat you are not wrong.

    I'm rather pleased this morning that the repairs I did to the render around the front door last night haven't actually fallen off :rotfl:But if the patching lasts until Popeye's next visit at Christmas I will be truly amazed. :D

    And I'm still not drinking alcohol during the week which gives me more energy in the evening but still disrupts my sleep enormously :confused: I lie awake at night for hours. What I tend to do is turn the light on and read. In the morning my bed is strewn with newspapers (Lodger buys a newspaper, I read it 24 hours later :rotfl:) I thought it would have settled down by now but it is still occuring :confused:

    At work the rows have continued, but one of the toddlers leaves today (unfortunately not FK) so FK will have new prey next week :(
