Sunday night

Dog has been sick and a bit off today but not stopped her playing with her ball on the park so can't be that bad.

Decluttered recipes file, did 20 minutes on cross trainer and today has been a NSD Although Mr SA tried to press for a town visit I resisted. I am skint until tomorrow anyway when he gets his PIP. DD pays her board on Friday and Mr SA gets his ESA Wednesday so we will be ok after today.

He now wants a personalised number plate for the scooter and has started talking about getting his licence back in September. It's never ending.

Hello SA!! Oh no! Sick dogs are quite grotty. Ours was vomitting the other week and it was dead unpleasant and involved a lot of carpet scrubbing afterwards. I refused to do it as DD is his mother! Ours recovered really quickly as well thank goodness.

Can't believe it's work again tomorrow. I'm all set except that I want to stay in bed!! Good luck with work tomorrow. I'm also waiting for money and have £5.47 until Thursday when CSA money arrives. Like you I shall be okay for the rest of month but will still have to go into overdraft as I overspent masses last month before starting my diary. Ah well! I have a plan and it is cunning!

Have a really good week.

Thanks HJ, hope your first day back at work was ok.

Time to send meter readings in to Sc8ttish Power - did it via app and the result was a very scary £443 in debit. Still not changed monthly payment though. I have a horrible suspicion I may have been mixing up my readings for day and night electricity readings. The day total is less than the night one. OMG I am probably in debit by hundreds Life was so much simpler when a man came out, read your meters, they sent you a bill, you passed out with shock then paid it.

Found a scooter number plate for Mr SA on eBay, only £3.38. So that will keep him quiet until his next whim.

Eeek to the fuel.
I have just changed suppliers & owe old one £188ish which was not part of the plan :eek: :sad:

Hopefully we will have caught up after summer Beanie. I knew it would go pear shaped when they reduced my monthly payment from £120 to £64.

Hello - waving madly

lovely to catch up, as Beanielou says boo to the not pleasant bits!

Hooray for the scooter, do I take it is a large one i.e. an 8mph job that can go on the road?

Struck me, Mr SA is feeling quite socially isolated being alone all day, and not having carer, hence his protests of your evening meal with friends. Now he is mobile with the scooter and decreasing risk of falling.... is there something he could get involved in during the day to meet others?

Must admit, Ive been very low for the same reason.... and have got myself back involved in Am Dram and I am feeling so much better.....

Heres hoping more smiley faces on monthly goals.....

Oh no SA, I hate it when you end up owing with the gas and electricity. I never let them put my payment down much as it never flipping works out does it! xx

Great to see you're back BM. Mr SA's scooter is 4mph he's not allowed one that can go on the road due to his slow reaction times. It's plenty enough for him. He's enjoying taking the dog on the park and has got chatting to quite a few people.

Been to Zumba and tonight is an AFD too, so 2 more boxes ticked

Hi there SA and everyone! The scooter sounds fab for Mr SA. :j Glad he's getting out and about as it'll do him good and take the pressure off you a bit if he's had enough interaction in the day.;) Maybe you could go out regularly once a week or so once he's feeling less isolated.

School today and yesterday was cool thanks and I've got my day off tomorrow. Hopefully it'll still be sunny.:):)
