Don't forget, H&B are running their 'buy two, get one for 1p' offer at the mo.
The car cost £686, my old car just sold for £377 so am down £309. Have new motor booked-in to have the timing belt, tensioners and water pump replaced (they are past-due and £420 spent now gives me 4 years piece of mind).

Mind you, if the car had been in forecourt condition, it would have beem up for £2,500 so all-in-all it was a good deal.

Got up to watch the cricket this morning, Alan sooner than me , and pleased to see England doing well - well done KP :j :j

Then I went into Wisbech to the CAB to see the Macmillan Welfare Advisor there. My appointment was 11am but she has squeezed me in really and I had to wait about 20 mins to see her but when I got in there, whooooooosh ................... she got everything done so quickly DLA form filled in - automatic entitled to Full Rate Care Component under Special Rules for Terminal Cancer; Blue Badge form completed and should have that through in 2 working days - no photo or signature required on this fast track system under special Rules; she part completed the form for Carers Allowance but I have to hold onto that until DLA processed - won't get any money but Underlying Entitlement opens the door to other benefits; gave me form to apply for grant from Macmillan - we have to say what we need the money for, up to £250 grant possible. I'd forgotten to take in details of Alan's medication so I rang that in to the office when I got home. I have to get in touch with her again when the DLA comes through and then see her again to do the rest :j

From there I went to H & B to get some Manuka Honey and Akai Berry Capsules as I found these when looking for 'superfood' and anything that may possibly help with cancer - after all, it can't do any harm but as they say 'every little helps'

I then popped into the hairdressers for a dry cut and feel more like me again :j :j I have a short spikey haircut but it had grown quite long and, being thick, wouldn't stand up any more like this :eek: I then got my passport style photos taken, now it was 'me' again, as I have been putting off getting them done and I needed them to renew the photo on my driving license. while I am on, they charge £20 to renew the photo on your driving license, so add in the £5.90 it cost me to get them done, I think that is very expensive - after all, I didn't look that much different in my old photo to now Well, I did have spikey blonde hair then too, just a few less wrinkles I guess

Alan was starting to panic when I got home, as I had been out for about 3 hours, but settled and went for a nap soon after

Thank goodness it is finally done.

Indeed Beanie ... now just the waiting for it all to come through

Alan decided he wanted fish & chips for tea again today and 'subtlely' mentioned that there were no trifles in the fridge so I drove to Asda and got 2 family trifles and a few other bits, then walked round the corner to the chippy owned by our friend from slimming class. I saw her daughter whispering to one of the men the other side of the fryers and when I ordered, she came to say that her Mum had said they weren't to charge me for Alan's fish & chips - the guy, who I think must be our friend's hubbie, said that she had told him that I had to have them free. She had said to me last week, when I told her about the reduced prognosis, to tell Alan that he could have as many fish & chip suppers he wants, but I didn't realise that she meant free :eek: That is so nice of her and couldn't thank them enough :j :j

People are being so nice and generous to us

Aesop

You and Alan are very much loved Susan :kisses3:

We can feel the love coming through :A :A

I am off to bed now, didn't mean to stay up this late but was working my way through replying to pm's :eek:, but before I go - if you have a Lidl near you, check out their weekend offer which is valid on Friday and Saturday this time, being closed on Sunday of course. I checked and they have packs of 2 Lamb Shanks in either Rosemary & Mint or Rich Red Wine & Rosemary sauce, on at half price, normally £4.99 but will be £2.49 which is a fantastic price as they are gorgeous :j :j You would need to enter your postcode on their site to check as they do sometimes vary the offer in different parts of the country but if your local has this offer, I highly recommend it

So night night guys - sleep well
