OH has just made a decision for me, I'm not going to work, I'm off to the chemist for some drops then back to bed to attempt to get rid of this horrible earache

I got upset that we needed the money but he said for the sake of 25 quid its not worth making myself worse over. Money I didnt want to spend on the drops though
maybe I'll give it another hour on the painkillers and see how it goes first.

but I can happily report our 3rd NSD of the week

Still suffering with my ears today
although not as much as yesterday.
Been to my Grandma's for lunch as OH still working on my sisters car at my parents.
Will be back to mum & dads tomorrow so we will get lunch there.
Lovely as it stretches my food budget that little bit further
Spent £1 today on some pikelets from the market as OH never had them. And that is all
Very impressed with my reduced spending, I'm finding myself questioning everything I do with relation to how much it will cost.

One more day spent at my parents, sunday lunch there, cant decide what to have for tea, desperately trying to avoid a takeaway.
Approx £12 spent on food shop this morning, will update with exact figure when I can be bothered to move myself from the sofa and get the receipt.
Nothing else to report today xxxx0 -

OK so I didnt exactly get alot done today.
So tomorrow I will resist the urge to go back to bed when OH goes to work, and instead I will finish my mission in the box room and get the rest of the house in good order.
Then I can concentrate on job hunting and other money making things.
At least that is the plan

Maybe a couple of days of doing nothing will get you feeling better!

Managed to resist the urge to go back to sleep this morning.
So the task for the day is to finish yesterdays list
And go out into the miserable outdoors to fetch bread & milk
All right after I've watched last nights Glee

OH got sent home from work ill at about 10.30 this morning, so I have done nothing, been nowhere and spent nothing.
And now I'm waiting for him to tell me what he wants for his tea.

Well OH was still off work yesterday so didnt get chance to post.
Did manage to get out to do a small shop which should last us into next week, will go and fetch the receipts in a min to update diaries.
OH also put petrol in his car so that was £50 I think which should last the rest of the month. Mine needs filling up too, which I will probably do tomorrow when I pass one of the cheaper ones in the area. Still £1.23 a litre though
but will hopefull last a while as I'm not using my car much while I'm not working.
Going to watch an hour of TV now then get the house straight for when OH gets home.
