I don't think many holidays abroad will go ahead so your uk breaks sounds like a perfect plan.
Have a lovely week Abba, I hope you get some rest and your leg is better. xNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054 -
That's nice Abba, glad you got to spend some time with her. My Nana had mini strokes there's an acronym for them but can't remember it. It caused her dementia and when she had them her behaviour completely changed. Her medication helped with them so if it is this then medication can hopefully help to stabilise the seizures.

Evening
hope everyone had a lovely new year we have had a quiet one so far
I’ve started my new target so far I have £303 in my re-render account and have started putting things up for sale on fab, so far have made £15 and cleared a lot of space from the tv unit I have kks old tablet up for sale someone is meant to collecting it tomorrow, should get £55 for it plus hubby upgraded my iPad for Xmas so I have my old one to reset to sell and I’ve told the kids I’m selling their Nintendo DS’s as they don’t play with them and there’s two of them and loads of games. Agreed to split the sell of the ds’s between my re-render fund and abbies house fund.Trying clear the tv unit as plan for this year is to upgrade the living room as I want a new couch and hubby wants to build a false wall and get the tv on the wall so there will be no need for the tv unit anymore so trying to get rid of the cables etc from the tv unit so it’s not as stressful come the time to get rid of it, well abbies taking the tv unit and the couch when she moves out.
todays my rest day from exercise so making the most of it and have hardly moved from the couch watching my tv shows, it’s been nice, no update on my gran still running tests to see what’s going on xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054 -
That fund has gone up quickly. I have just got rid of my TV cabinet and had the plug socket and cables all moved to the back of the TV now. It is up on the wall and looks a lot better and my living room a lot more spacious.
I sold some of DD's old things as well because she doesn't play with them either.

Afternoon
how is everyone
its my first day back at work everyone is eating their lunch so I’ve done my banking and need to get on with some other paperwork whilst they are eating.
sold kks old tablet got £55 for it so straight to the re-render fund as you can see I have £579.05 in there already woo how this was also my child benefit that got squirrelled away as well.
next task is to list the Nintendo DS’s for sale they’ve all been charged will need to test the games then we are good to go. Also listed a cupcake maker which MIL bought us when we first moved in this house and it’s never been opened so we shall see how that gets on. After they’ve been listed I’ll get my iPad on there as well xx
my gym has a competition going on where the winner takes £150, £100 and £50 in Nike vouchers based on how there body shape changes during lockdown as you know I like a challenge we have to get them on my fitness pal where they will monitor our diet and we have to do 5 workouts a week and prove it which I can as hubby bought me a chest strap for my workouts. this is just what I need after Xmas so it’s on xx
My avon books will be getting delivered on Friday but I won’t be collecting them will be asking to text or pm me or pm with their order as don’t want to risk my customers as most of them are elderly. Orders are quarantined for 4 days at my house anyway prior to delivery and all wiped down with disinfectant as part of my COVID 19 procedures anyway. Hubby swears this is why we haven’t caught it so far as I no longer dust, I disinfect every surface after hoovering it 😂😂
one of my minded nurseries have closed So she’s going from 4.5 hours to 11 hours a day with me so those extra pennies will not be counted in my budget they will be getting put towards my re-render fund xx
