Well just got the car back.
Bank balance back to practically nil now! Ah well, when its gone its gone, and boy did it go fast!
Back to the real world of budgeting, and balancing the accounts etc etc.
at least the shopping deliveries will be here, and we will have food coming out of every available space, so DGD and I will not starve for a month or even two if I am following the Grocery Challenges properly, or a bit of Bob and Shirl, from Wheezls ideas.

It's made a difference to my grocery bill already and I only do an occassional meal from it.

I was wondering where it was all at, and struggling to get things together, thought I may have to read a very long thread, and thought it a bit rude of me to ask where the link was to those already in the know!.

I have tried DGD with Porridge today, but she didnt like it. So that was not a good start. Very rare she doesnt like something I have given her, thank goodness.
So she is having a slice of my toast with MrA version of "love it, or hate it!."
But I have had that in the cupboard for months. I only have it occasionally now, as seem to have a lot of Marmalade from App F00d, still to wade through.

This morning we are going to visit the boys, and DGD has been on about her cousin for days and days now. So she is definitely missing them.

I have not heard from thier mother at all.
DS says that they are Sending one of their friends to go and get her tomorrow, if they can muster up the money for the petrol!. She should dam well pay them, and I am sorry, but I am not sure I want to give any money to get her to come home. Not becuase I dont want her to be back home, but becuase she has "made her bed" and she should be responsible for her actions.
So the boys have not seen her for 3 or more weeks now, I am loosing count.!
Its two weeks since I saw them, so it must be 3 weeks. yesterday.

Worried about the new welfare plans, I hope that I am not going to loose the money I am getting as its already a pitance. I really would love to work more, but its just impossible. Caring for DGD is a full time job at the moment. What with all the meetings as well.

Right I better get moving my achy joints!. Dont think that cutting my gabapentin down was very good, I have pins and needles all over my body. and its horrible.

Apart form our shoes DDG and I are dressed and ready to go and see the boys. My tablets are starting to work a little bit more now, but the pins and needles effect is still there!
DGD is talking away to herself, she mutters and mumbles all the time about something or other. Currently she is playing with the door snake!.Catching! Oh no! seems to be the favorite words at the moment.!. Its quite comical to watch and listen to her.
I suppose I should be doing the washing up after breakfast and hanging out the washing thats still damp from yesterdays dash to get it in off of the line, however my arm is a bit behind me at the moment and washing my hair in the shower was enough for it. So I will rest a bit ready to drive about 9.45.
I shall make a start on the adjusted menu plans for the next week as part of it I am not going to be here now, going to BF's for a couple of extra days for his eldests birthday mid week.

Morning,
Even though I only saw the boys for an hour, I obviously madea difference to my arm, with lifting the baby and cuddling him tc etc. As I was struggling, and in too much Pain by tea time. I put DGD to bed after her bath, and went straight to bed myself. Fell asleep with the laptop on. Woke around 11pm. But soon went back to sleep. (used my Media player on, to relax me, and drift of).

This morning, I have had a reply to a message sent to twin2, but she is still anti me, as one of my friends apparantly told her off. So nw I have told Everybody her business.etcetcetc. At the moment I even feel like "naming and shaming" her, if that would have done any good.! But it wont. So I dont.

Twin1 didnt come back with us yesterday, when I would have liked and she was supposed to.
DS has said to not help anymmore, including him.
Not sure if I wrote that yesterday or not?

This morning I have still got mild pins and needles down the leg, but not as bad as yesterday. However I still have the feeling of " prickly heat" over the body. Will talk to the nurse this morning.

May miss my App F00d delivery, as they sent an email yesterday to tell me its coming today, but I am already commited to things this morning. I could give Twin1 bus fare to get to town, but then she would need to be let off taking DGD to play and stay this morning. So which ever way it is, I will have to help her! So frustrated with her, for spending her money in one hit!

Oh and another thing, Twin1 gave out my phne number to the father of DGD, (who after 3 years now wants to know her, and wants to see her!). I am fuming. She had been told that if he got intouch she was to give him the SS number!
Now I suppose that I will be plagued by him.
I did tell her I was angry with her, and I also told him that he was to ring the SS. I also told him that he was not to ring me, but I am not sure that he will obey that. Then I dont know him. Never met him.

Right, I am home for an hour. Before going to collect DGD back from her visit to the play and stay in the town.
I came back as I am expecting my delivery from AppFd and hoped not to miss it. I have finally had information on the tracking system that its due between 2.15 and 3.15 so that means I can go back and get her quite safely with out fear of loosing my delivery. Phew.
I must have ordered a lot as there are 3 parcels tracking!.
Mind you some are big bags of flour, at 3kg so they are weighty and bulky. Now where I will store it, I am not sure, as I had hoped to have had the clear up done before hand. Oh well, such is life.

I saw the nurse, and have given my blood for testing, results end of next week.
She took my blood pressure again, and thank god today it was only 128 over 88. Back to normal. I was apprehensive after last weeks being so high.
But I still need to rest more, stress less, and do less for the rest of the family.
Twin1 has said that she does have the bus fare money for this afternoon, so thats lucky. I dont have to go to Northampton today now.
So lets hope that today is going to be an easier one then the last few. However the way DGD is testing me, I am not sure, Perhaps she will wake up on the other side of the grotties this afternoon! Well we can hope cant we!?

I am going to see if i can finish the flower bed in the front of the house, by the road side, while she is not here.
Catch up later.
Hope everyone has a good day, and a good weekend/bank holiday if any are off out and about anywhere.
