Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

benbenandme

One more item on ebay, can't pay the drama fees online so will add that to tomorrows list, time now to start planning how to arrange Dads book. I have bought a blank memory book from Hobbycraft but don't want to start writing on it yet, so am going to get 60 of those clear plastic wallets and "practice" the layout etc. Now first thing to decide, do I do everything in chronological order or group stuff under friends / family / work / pets etc?? I think the latter option will be the easier one to go with, will ponder some more ....

Morning all, lots to do today on my list although it shouldn't actually take that long to get it all done. His appointment is at 9.30, so need to leave here at about 10 past 9, so far have managed to get dressed, ds had breakfast, dishwasher unloaded and refilled, lean washing put away / folded for ironing, bits and pieces in my room cleared up, so time to get ds in the bathroom and then I've got a little bit of time to get something else crossed off the list before we go out

Ironing is done :j :j There wasn't that much in the end, I was really careful to fold everything beforehand so not much needed doing, pleased to have it done and put away though

Ebay parcels are ready to go, hopefully I can whizz through the list quite quick today and get some other bits done too.

Found a roll of brown paper under my bed so I don't need to buy that now either :T

Finally managed to weigh myself this morning. 8 Stone 11 (I'm only 5'2" so it's not as good as it sounds ) so I have stayed at what I was the week before last. Want to get back down to 8st 7 and if I can stay away from the biscuits and chocolates and do a bit of exercise it should be a piece of cake....:rotfl:

Have a good week bb and hope the appointment goes well today.

Spends = £4 on a new concealer in Boots, £25 on friends leaving present (work will pay me back), which also earned me £1 in Boots points and came with a free Sanctuary giftbag with 4 travel size bottles of goodies in :T
The dress looks hideous on and will be going straight back, so thats £20 saved there and I delivered one of the ebay items as I had to go past where the lady works and she needed the top for tonight, and she gave me a fiver for dropping it off :T

I knew there were more spends; also sspent £33.90 on the balance of our trip to the Isle of Wight, and £41 on ds drama fees up til Easter.

Ds passport form came today in the post too so I need to get that sorted this week as well.

and so to bed

The crim phoned tonight and I spoke to him and explained that I can't afford to pay mediation, he said he thought I would get legal aid as I'm on a low income, when I explained I wont he said he'll see what other options there are, he did sound surprised and said he wouldnt expect me to pay that sort of money, so we'll see, I have learnt by now not to believe one word from him so I wont hold my breath just yet, but lets see ....

Went to visit Mum and then Dad this afternoon, he practically ignored me and ds the whole time we were there, he was just in his own little world and wandered around the whole time, leaving us to help the staff put up the valentines decorations

Tesco shopping is done online tonight, I had a £5 voucher to use up by the weekend and needed quite a few bits so its coming tomorrow night so thats one more thing crossed off the list. I did order lots of fruit and veg, somehow I need to get my focus back, I have just totally lost it. Its 6 months tomorrow til we go on holiday and I can tell I've put some back on cos all my clothes feel tighter and I feel frumpier, so why can't I just stop eating rubbish?? :cool:

benbenandme

Just realised the isa payment has gone out, so thats £50 into the pot

benbenandme

Woohoo, goodbye August 2019 :j :j
