oi what you doing here

elantan

well we got the car out today ...hubby took a half day and him and his dad spent a few hours clearing the snow and barrowing grit ...it wouldve taken too long to to do the full drive way but we have got the bit that was bad and the car sits at the top of the drive so yay ...i can finally go to the asian supermarket and costco and get curry pastes chicken beef etc etc

have done my scratchies for the day another 10p there and checked the bank ...no one has put in a million spare in change so no changes there to report

well we went into glasgow after all hubby just had to get to the asian supermarket...it was a nightmare really dangerous but we survived and parked the car at the top of the driveway so we can get out again if we need to ...

started my xmas shopping today and in less than 25 mins including finding a parking space it was all done ...i like that kinda shopping ...admittedly i only bought two things but then i only had two to buy so all done and dusted for another year ..yay

right have been reading a bit about these M.B.T's shoes/trainers etc ...and i think they might just help me with some of my health issues ...so i am going to add them to the list of things to save for ...the old me wouldve just went out and bought them and then worried about how to pay for them ...but the new me is thinkings ...right first thing is first you need a lawnmower so save for that then go for the M.B.T's and then the laptop ....now i think i will however save my treat money for them as well so maybe (hopefully) by march or so i will have a pair to wear ..

banks checked no extra money in them sigh ...scratchies done tree up nearly ready for my work tomorrow night ...just got to deliver these cards and i think we are good to go

Glad you managed everything and are safe and well.
What are MBTs?

MBT's i think are those shoes that work your legs and help you lose weight and tone up.
