    Ditto and hugs
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    GL with the result in Feb. Quite a while to wait though for results. I'd find that very hard.

    Mr SA a lot brighter today and he's been out for a walk with his carer and the dog. A lot of it was worrying about the scan, he's admitted it.

    Not a lot going off today (good), been sticking to diet, exercise plan, budget and alcohol free days. Woo hoo :) Low spend day today £2.95 - coffee, paper, fruit. Mr M delivery coming tomorrow, can't believe how much stuff we've run out of despite all those top up shops. DD has been off work the past two days and she's eaten us out of house and home!

    Thanks Beanie. When you think about it his immune system is only just over a year old and although he's had all his vaccinations again there are going to be all sorts of bugs he has no immunity to so he's done well to stay well for as long as he has done.

    A big spend day today due to big online shop plus a smaller spend in Mr S. So today's spends were: Mr M £2.87 on way to work for fruit and Special K bars, £1.40 on a coffee at work, £11.00 in Mr S, £80.78 online Mr M shop and £2.50 on wheelie bin clean so grand total of £98.55!!!! And I still need to buy some veg!!!

    I'm coming down with the dreaded lurgy I've been brewing for the past few days. Felt awful today at work and struggled to make it through the day. Just in time for the weekend - great!

    Spends today have been £11.50 in Mr S, although £6 of this comprised a birthday card for DD and a magazine for Mr SA. Plus put £30 in DD's card instead of buying her a present so total spend £41.50. Pleased to report though that, apart from the online shop, everything is being paid for in cash.
