Comments

Hi all - hope you have had good weekends. Hope your bday was fun sans and big hugs to you Triangle, I am so glad your accident wasn't any worse.
I have had a frugal weekend, largely because I was so poorly and fluey yesterday I only made it out of bed for three hours! Still feeling rough now but my in-laws visited today from Cornwall so I have made an effort.:)
This weekend I have:
1) Had a LSW - just 50p towards parking!
2) Read my library book yesterday for free entertainment. ( The whole book!)
3) Watched Rhod Gilbert on I-player for free entertainment.
4) Went to a free cinema screening of Invictus this morning. It was very good, I can recommend it.
5) FIL paid for us to go out for lunch.
6) Lots of indoor hokey cokey.
7) All meals apart from lunch from stores.
8) Checked banking, quidco etc
9) Replenished toileteries from stash.
10) 30p worth on SCs ( Well done on your win mbaz!).
Looking forward to getting back to normal tomorrow and that's just after a few days so can't imagine how fed-up you must be Milly.I hope this week is the week you get better.
Enjoy your evenings, L x0 -

Very fed up Lurleene!!! But...strangely used to it and now bit scared about going back to work:o I do just want some energy again....Imy Mum came to visit yesterday and took me to town for an hour - mad how tired and achy that made me, but I enjoyed the wander!
I could turn into a recluse tho.....:rotfl:I really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Jazzyjustlaw - hello! Yes, I was at that screening - I was being MSE with my pot of shop bought sweets.
I reckon MSE-ers should wear name tags to these things!Do you go to many?
Milly - bless you, you poor thing it must be so isolating. Hope your sparkle is on it's way back. xxxx0 -
