Hello :wave::wave:
Today:
Got newly self employed OH to drive me to the station as a car park season ticket wouldn't be cost effective this month due to upcoming leave :T If you pay daily, it is £7.50 each day :eek: and then the train fare on top :eek::eek:
Checked online banking -as expected, but must watch spending as OH has now left his job and gone part time self employed, so we are a salary down - he did this with my backing I hasten to add, but must still watch pennies!
HM meals including last night's leftovers for lunch at work (colleagues are jealous of my leftovers I hasten to add :rotfl:)
OH mostly cooked supper - he is definitely getting better :T
OH did some washing and dried it on the line outside :T
Free paper to read on train - I have plenty of work things to read, but prefer a displacement activity on the train!
Have a nice evening everyone - bed soon for me, as I didn't sleep well last night for some reason
