    Nice day planned today but ended up at emergency doc with DH in terrible pain with an ear infection.
    £106 diesel. £37 in boots. Did get £32 refund from the order that exploded.
  • Ouch, hope poor oh is feeling better. Was the £37 all drugs and ear drops?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Not ideal, I hope the drugs have done their thing and DH is more comfortable now?

    So managed to get DD to a rally this morning and removed three barrow loads of poo from the field, mucked out the stable and moved the fence. Also got herself out with DDI.
    Feel like if I had a week off I would just about get the house under control.
    Today I am so grateful for antibiotics and modern painkillers. Also for Mr Tom Baker returning to Dr Who. The man is a legend and quite eclipsed the return of David Tennant and Billie Piper imho.

    Tom Baker returning to Dr Who??? Where have I been???? Other than buried in work!! Mind you gave up watching it as didnt really take to the last doctor. However, I feel a big need to catch up now!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
