Thanks OBNW

Better own up to new spends - 11.50 grocery top up yesterday and 3.80 on kids today.

Did do some walking in town yesterday and did walk kids home tonight at quick pace so better than usual but food intake today was bad. Want to be able to walk to the office but the laptop bag and paperwork I have to lug everywhere is too heavy. Been looking at wheeled holdalls and they seem to be £70 plus. That will need some serious thinking. Hoping OH gets his car back soon so I can start asking him for the bills etc I have paid Nov and Dec - circa 120 a month and most of xmas but dont want it to continue. There will be a several hundred pound bill for the car so hes saving at the mo.

I rarely admit this but I'm well into walking, I am adicted to my pedometer and try to do 10,000 steps a day to keep fit and healthy!
Its soooo much cheaper than gym membership, if you are within walking distance from work a laptop trolley has to be be the answer and must surely pay for itself quickly!

Well found a holdall for £40 so that should kick start the walking. Spent £1.10 on parking and £5 lunch. Tried on contacts for the first time and they were great. Wont replace the glasses fully but nice to have a different option. Some will power today - didtn hit the vending machine or get a take out.

Now the sad news, little Truffle the hamster got out of his cage. Wasnt worried when I got back as I thought he would come out for food but then I found him . He somehow climbed up onto the worksurface and fell in the sink where I still had water feel so guilty why didnt I pull the plug last night. I can only hope he enjoyed what life I gave him. Not sure if I want to replace or not.

Aaw poor you and poor truffle . We have wee cookie the hamster and if she escapes she climbs everything in front of her. SHe fell off a high shelf once but other than appearing to have some concussion for a day she was fine.

Thanks MIT

They are loony arent they! I swear he would have jumped from my hands whilst I was stood up. Im going to miss him. Anywhere else he would have been fine. Still cant think how he got to the worksurface. I knew he could get into the cupboards but still .

Aw KP so sorry to hear about Truffle.

Well some how I am not feeling too down and keeping a sense of humour today

£40 holdall is WAY too big so will need to return

Tomtom died and looks like its beyond repair. I cant work without it. Borrowing OH at the moment. Good deal in Halfords but out of stock so hope to pick it up from abother store. Down side is its £150 (half price). I could get cheaper but do use it an awful lot and its a great deal. Last one did last 4 years.

Oh and Washer/Dryer not working - reported it yesterday but no response yet :mad: That at least shouldnt cost me anything.

Havent dealt with the cage yet - keep looking at it and feeling sad. It will prob be spure of the moment dismantle and clean.
