    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 :(
  • woooohooo just got a lovely table & chairs for £40 :j its only 3 chairs so we need to go to ikea to get another but a f r i gg in n g steal I say! :money:
