Thank you all

He's been a bit better today but is still very tired. I know it's normal to feel exhausted for at least a year after a stem cell transplant. He's got his neuro rehab appointment on Thursday and he's going to mention how he feels to them. I expect once you've had cancer every little twinge or feeling off colour panics you into thinking it's come back.

Just been doing my Morrisons online shop for Wednesday - 20% staff discount this week so making sure I stock up the store cupboard! I must say so far I can't fault their delivery service. I also make sure I get a £1 slot. DD reckons they are bringing out a loyalty card next.

Hello all

Mr SA seems to be perking up quite a bit thank goodness.

Not a lot happening on the money front - waiting for payday. I've started to jot down all my spends in a notebook just to see where the money goes really. The aim was to pay off the debt by Christmas but in reality, after a few calculations, I can only comfortably afford to pay £160 a month. To pay it off would mean paying at least £250 a month but now Mr SA is back in the equation and he's wanting holidays and meals out I doubt it can be done. However, I don't give up that easily and if I can shave a bit off the other budgets I will.

You can only do what you can do debt wise.
I think you do really well.

Mr SA now has a rash (looks like measles to me). However, he's been to the hospital today and they reckon both the rash and feeling off colour is a result of the vaccinations he had a couple of weeks ago. He's feeling ok now so hopefully panic over.

You should have seen my kitchen floor last night with the massive Morrisons shop - carrier bags all over. But at least I'm all stocked up now with the 20% staff discount. Just fresh stuff to buy now until next month.

Mr SA does daft things from time to time which make me smile - he planted up some herbs in pots for the kitchen windowsill. He carefully cut out the pictures from the packets and stuck them in the soil - then he realised the pots already had the herbs names on them - and he'd put every one of them in the wrong pots! Bless him!

Well been for the mammogram only took 5 minutes so hopefully that's it for 3 years.

Glad it's Friday - ready for putting my feet up (ha ha). Hopefully will have a very low spend weekend no plans to go anywhere as far too close to payday. Just been looking at holidays again and still some good deals for April. That villa in Algarve via James Villas has gone down to £648 for 2 including flights but still prefer to go to Lanzarote as weather more likely to be hot. Insurance for Mr SA is between £65 and £110 (including me) so not too bad.

Finance wise have paid another £10 off debt so now down to £2490. Roll on payday!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Already got my Mother's Day presents - some beautiful flowers from DD and wine and smellies from DS. Mr SA is now coming out in spots (chicken pox??). Sigh!! Have managed to spend £5 today despite Mr SA pressing for pub trip. Told him no money until payday! He sulked a bit but managed to persuade him he can't go out with possible chicken pox. He raised a smile however - I got out of shower tonight to find he had a face full of spots. Panicked but then he told me he had drawn them on with 24 hour stay on lipstick of mine - now he can't wipe them off! Serves him right for trying to trick me!
