Looking for the silver lining

Sun_Addict

What a miserable day today, every time it starts brightening up it clouds over again. It's absolutely pouring at the minute. Can't get my washing dry.

Have cleaned the whole house. Still wiping down the paintwork to get the building dust off, it's taking forever.

Sorted finances, will have to do some juggling to pay off the cc this month - courtesy of the last minute holiday spends and booking the April holiday. I really need to stick to a budget as money is tighter now I've got a mortgage to pay. Don't need to buy anything other than food though so should be able to have a frugal September.

The cat has got some sores on her tummy and paws, she had the same this time last year it was an allergy. She's technically DD's cat but she doesn't buy her food or anything. Looks like we'll have to take her to the vets, although DD is talking about doing it Friday when she gets paid. She never has any money (I don't know what she does with it, she never goes anywhere!) so no doubt we'll end up putting towards the bill. There's always something!

Really need to get my diet back on track. I ended up eating pizza nearly everyday on holiday due to lack of vegi stuff on some menus. I do eat fish but am very fussy about it - no skin, bones, heads or tails - so I don't tend to eat it on holiday unless I can be sure it won't look like a fish! Should really face the scales at WW on Saturday but worried I might have to pay if I'm 5lbs over goal

Mr SA has been all doom and gloom today, worrying about tomorrow. I reminded him the scan will be ok as he hasn't heard anything, but I understand his fretting is only natural.

I'm itching to get on with the decorating - DD's room is next on the list as it's the most desperate.

Hope Mr SA's appointment goes ok with consultant tomorrow. 'Scanxiety ' is a dreadful thing.

Thanks all xx The scan was a few weeks ago it's the check up with Lymphoma consultant tomorrow.

All this remembering Princess Di dying 20 years ago tomorrow is reminding me it's 17 years tomorrow since I lost my lovely mum to a brain tumour My mum was absolutely devastated about Diana, she was a big fan. Ironic she died on the same date just 3 years later. Also ironic I almost lost Mr SA to a brain tumour. Sometimes life sucks

Our posts crossed. It's a sombre time - but so glad that Mr SA is with you and able to go on holiday. Know it's often hard but you have a lot to look forward to I know you do xx

Awww SA will be thinking about you tomorrow. I will always remember Diana's death as it was the day after my 13th birthday and I remember getting up to my Dad fixed on the news that morning.

This is why we must live our lives to the max (without getting into debt of course :money:)

Hugs to you for tomorrow xx
