Looking for the silver lining

Beanie she will be doing. I said we would help though. We're going to get new bedroom furniture and she can have our old stuff. We'll pay for the carpet and paint that's all, the rest is her responsibility.
Last day off work today. Not been out of the house since 23 December so partly glad. Got hospital in the afternoon and then it should be my final week of being off my feet. Surgery was 5 weeks ago yesterday.
Another NSD today so 2/8. Got to pay out for taxis for the rest of the week now (although work reimbursing me minus tax) so it will be a while until the next NSD.
Seem to have spent all sfternoon cooking. Made some carrot and lentil soup for work lunches and Moroccan style veggie shepherd's pie for dinner tonight, both WW recipes.
Cleaned the bedroom, bathroom and did the ironing this morning.
Still need to de-flea the fur babies. No sign of them at the minute they must knowI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Mr SA has been rooting through cupboards, claims he's looking for his CSCS revision book (Condtruction Skills test) which he needs to do to go back to work.
Remember the hi-vis trousers he bought a few weeks ago? Apparently he forgot he had them. He was complaining about the dog making his joggers dirty when she jumps on his knee after the park - then remembered the trousers!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Happy New Year! Good luck with all things hospital-related, and with all your goals for this month too - I would like 8 NSDs as well, today would have been 1 had I not bought some weight from TKMaxx. My Physic did rather strongly suggest I get some though, and £5.99 isn't going to kill my budget...Mortgage: £83,000
Credit Card Debt: £1,700
Loan Debt: £3,0000 -
Hospital appointment went well. Physio seemed pleased. Next week I've to take my shoes, because, as long as X-Ray is ok, cast is off for good. No high heels though! Ankle hurts tonight though from rough manipulation from physio. He said soreness is ligament damage not from bones. Ordeal with taxis and hospital though. From work to hospital taxi 30 minutes late, was waiting outside in cold. Only just got there in time for appointment, which was running an hour late. Then fire alarm at hospital trapped behind fire door 15 minutes. Taxi home almost 30 minutes later than predicted. Waiting outside in cold again!
Spends today have been on 3 taxis. Was meant to be doing AFD but when Mr SA tempted me with glass of wine after my ordeal, I caved in.
