Starting afresh.

Hope your gran is getting better and home soon x"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

she's home she got released on Saturday so as you can imagine I've been running about like a headless chicken.
Prior to her getting released I blitzed the upstairs on Saturday, abbie done a mini shop for my gran for the basics such as bread, milk etc and I brought her home, got her settled and stayed til about 9pm when she said she was getting tired.
Nipped round on Sunday morning, she was awake with the tv on and the blinds open so slowly slowly she in on the mend. Made her toast coffee got her paper and spent some time with her before coming home and Xander went up and spent time with her whilst I blitzed the downstairs, went back up to my grans to make her dinner and wash her dishes, came home dished out my families dinner then back up to my grans to get her comfy and spent a hour there watching detective programs.
Sold xander's pile of clothes that were too wee for him so made £40, spent £20 in Iceland on necessities to get us through the week.
Once my wee mindee arrived I nipped to the post office to post my nephews card £2.45 because there was a badge on the card.....ridiculous and got my gran her paper, nipped up and she was sitting up, so put her tv as she switched it off at the mains, made her toast and coffee and asked if I could do anything for her before I went back home, kids are going up at lunch time to keep her company and then i'll nip up at 5 with her dinner as I made mince pie last night and i kept a slice for her back for today. I've finish work at 3pm then I'll have the gym at 7pm and I'll nip in on the way back to check that she's ok xx
So my days have got way busier but she's totally worth it.
Sent £15 towards the hubby's card nearly at the halfway mark should be there by the weekend.
Avon orders have been submitted, we got 3 new customers from our book drop so Avon reckons we should make £231 in commission so I'm happy with that deliveries should be with me on Wednesday and they'll be out for delivery on Friday. I'll keep £100 for us and the rest will be getting flung towards the card.

She's getting stronger every day thanks everyone for asking.
Felt good to get back to the gym last night looking forward to going again tonight good to get some me time.
Sent £6 towards the barclaycard
Need to nip to homebargains and lidl today so plans are do the school run get back home for my wee mindee starting, then nip to the local shop grab a newspaper for my gran and take it up to her. Make her toast and coffee and check to see if she needs any food, going to get her a few ready meals and and frozen individual bags of rice / veg so if she feels up to it she can ping her dinner in the microwave. I need to get dishwasher tablets as ran out last night.
Also made her up a phone list and I'll laminate it whilst KK has his breakfast as she's prone to spilling things just now
finishing work at 6pm tonight so one of the kids will be taking over gran's dinner duties tonight for me
