Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

Need to hoover badly - but Maisie's really, really moulting and I only did it a couple of days ago & you'd never know

Seriously thinking of leaving this until Mon night (after Mum's been :eek:) so it's hopefully not too bad by the time Nicky arrives

Completely sympathise... the moggies are shedding madly here and I have found myself hoovering my bed :rotfl: as that seemed better than changing sheets every two days!

Hope you have enjoyed your holibobs.

Holibags were lovely and it was great to catch up with my pal ... but exhausting! We were really lucky as it was a fantastic week weather wise so really just pottered around and took Maisie for lots of early morning walks!

Not a lot to report so sorry for not posting more!

Hey Rising. Haven't posted on your diary for donkeys. Sorry to hear you are having a time of it. Will catch up on things when it's not so late at night.

Regards, BiB x

*sigh*

Another couple of weeks seems to have been lost

I'm really declaring this year as a total write off with regards to MSE .... the SoW has even fallen by the wayside (NOT like me as I've filled it in religiously for years now )

I have no idea what I've spent on anything ... the pots are empty :eek: (and car service & insurance to pay this month:eek:) - mainly down to having to prop everything up as on reduced hours ......

Go back to FT mid Sept - dreading it TBH but can't cover the bills on my reduced salary unfortunately

So ..... hope everyone is OK as really hardly online at all just now

I'm going to concentrate on trying to get back into NSDs (totally lost the plot with even these!) and trying to limit "damage" to the end of the year and start afresh next year

I'll pop in here when I can but really think I'm going to start a fresh diary in the NY for a new start!

Back at hospital on Thursday and really hoping my consultant can come up with something else to try ....

Hi Rising

So sorry to hear that things still aren't so great with you. Be kind to yourself, you've had a rough year so far. You're right, damage limitation is the way forward now and a fresh start when you're ready.

Love to you xxx

Hi Rising

What Wannabe says and sending you good luck for Thursday

Thanks Wannabe and Rosa

Bit disappointed with how things went on Thurs - consultant not concerned that I'm not better by now (he said he's not surprised as there was a lot of damage and it takes a long time to heal )

Have to come off my pain meds for my foot :eek: which I'm dreading - I've cut the dose right down (so it's not agony but I'm aware of it IYKWIM) but it'll be hellish without the meds so will have to see how that goes .....

Poor Maisie's been unwell so was at the vets last night - just under £90 :eek: which I really didn't need. She seems a bit better today but very droppy & no energy - have tablets for over the weekend and she has to go back on Monday!

Car insurance & service (funnily enough - both are £238! is that not a bit freaky:p) are already both on this months visa bill :eek: (and pot is empty!)

Need to .... but scared to go into my bank account I sent away the cashback for the mobile on the 10th but haven't heard anything yet .... must dig out the recorded delivery slip and check it

*sigh*

I should have £150 in my CU account (absolute emergency pot as I only put £10/month into it!) which I'll have to use but still going to be short

On the positive side (still trying to find one when things are tough!) - both freezers are absolutely jam packed

I stopped at Farm*foods the other day as was in the town where it is and OMG I can't believe how cheap it is - some bags of veg were 3 for £2!:T Before anyone asks - nope I still can't eat veg but got it for Maisie!!!!!

Have just dug out a chicken for tomorrow so will have that roasted & then pick it and make stock and probably have risotto too ... yum!

Oops - rambling again!:o

Hope everyone is well
