    Thanks all

    Mr SA not good today he has has two more falls. I was at work but DD was there and SIL visited and took him out. He has finally realised he needs his stick!!

    Diet and budgeting have been on a back burner this week. Mr SA and work have been enough on my plate (no pun intended!).

    Picked my fast tickets up today from train station. Can't believe they cost £162 for a 1.5 hour journey!!! Glad work is paying not me. Really looking forward to Tuesday. Hope Mr SA doesn't spoil it for me - he is worried I'll get lost in London on my own!! He says he won't settle until I'm home. What I'm really looking forward to is sitting on the train and having a coffee and flicking through a magazine or paper with no interruptions. I won't get an award as such, it's a ceremony to thank staff who have gone the extra mile. I suspect it might be a bit sucky but hey ho it's a day out! It's in Westminster Abbey so should be really nice.

    Still on track to be debt free by end November and hoping to resume normal service anytime soon.

    Well done re your awards ceremony Beanie but sorry to hear about your falls. Some people on my awards ceremony are going because they do voluntary work. Must be the season for ceremonies and falls so here's a :) and a :( from me.

    Have a wonderful time beanie and SA. Well deserved recognition of your efforts.

    Take care beanie. Xx enjoy your coffee and magazine SA...I can beat you on the train fare front. £193 return for a 1.5 hour journey each way if you want to go to London from Brizzle at peak times. Shocking.
