    Just seen the sad news about Kissjenn. So awful for her son. You follow diaries and get attached to people you don't even know in real life.

    Everything else seems trivial at the moment so will return tomorrow.

    Such sad news, I had a good day today and it all seems so irrelevant now, great of Daniel to post the news.

    Mr SA's carer is back at work, not 100% but getting there. I've had another allergic reaction - used some Nivea face wipes for sensitive skin last night and woke up this morning face all swollen. Have taken photos and will email them and ask them what's in them.

    Mr SA went to see about gym/swim today. He's going for a free trial on Thursday. It's perked him up anyway. He'll get reduced rates and the carer will get in free.

    Went for lunch with some retired friends today which was nice and I only spent £5.49 for a vegi burger, salad and drink. Also spent £42.10 on cat's flea stuff and dog food (online). Yesterday spent £5.25 in Sainsburys and gave Mr SA £10. So total spend so far this week £62.84.

  • It must be a relief to have the carer back and see Mr SA so positive Xx

    Thanks ladies, although he's back to being negative again today. I think he's building up to results day on Monday.

    Had a bit of a meltdown last night after I posted on here - dog was barking at nothing and making my ears ring, DD was tired and being argumentative, then when I got in the bath Mr SA started tapping on the door wanting to go to the toilet. By the time I got out it was too late and he'd messed himself. This is a problem he has, when he needs the loo he has to go straight away. I got upset, fed up of looking after everyone, I work all day and need at least some respite, you get the picture. Then when I finally got in bed I was just dropping off when Mr SA did a loud snort right in my ear and woke me up. He keeps snorting as well as jerking. It's like sleeping next to a warthog on a trampoline. All I want is a decent night's sleep. Then my face started itching again. Anyway moan over.

    On a mission to stick to grocery budget. £100 tops this week, new budget starts today. Mr T big shop, budget £70 or less came in at £71.87 plus a small Mr S shop £6.38 so £78.25 spent already. I usually do the big shop with Mr M to get staff discount but Mr T offered me £20 off if I did 3 shops of £40. But to be honest I think I would've saved more by sticking to Mr M. So £21.75 left to last until next Wednesday.
