    The skip arrived this morning and we more or less filled it in 30 minutes! Left enough room for DD's junk but will probably need another one after holiday. I don't know where all the rubbish comes from! Mr SA won't let me put a growbag of grass in there as he's saving it!!!!

    In the process of tidying up the garden ready for winter so no painting today.

    Packed my holiday toiletries, will need a few bits but will get them on Wednesday.

    So today should be NSD 2/15 :) That will be it for a while though.

    Normally in bed at this time on a Monday. No work tomorrow so making the most of it. Flagging a bit though.

    Mr SA a lot better, he's had scampi and chips tonight, although has been asleep all afternoon.

    Got a small Mr M shop coming tomorrow, mainly food for DD and the fur babies.

    Two days until holiday, 30 degrees there right now :)

    There's always a last minute stressful thing - this time it's the chemist not got Mr SA's meds ready, can find no trace of them!!!!! Asked when I ordered them - it's a repeat prescription, was ordered 4 years ago!!!! Trying to ring doctors to find out what's happened but I'm forever number 5 in the queue - grr :(

    Mr SA wants to paint today, say no more :eek:

    Very helpful Dr's receptionist has put it through as urgent, got to ring back at 4pm.

    Who knew I could paint :) Done a very good job if I do say so myself. And no splashes! Only part of a wall to do now then it's just the woodwork. Tempted to finish it tomorrow.

    I keep a bottle of distilled water with a drop of zoflora in for ironing. I took a swig of it by mistake thought it was my water bottle :( Can't get the taste out of my mouth.

    At least Mr SA won't be able to paint while you're on holiday :D

    Hope you get the meds sorted today, that kind of thing always seems to happen just before you go away :mad:!

    Rang the doctors and they sent the repeat to the chemists 26 September. So it's back to the chemist tomorrow. Time to change chemists methinks. It's not the first time this has happened.

    Survived drinking the Zoflora water :)

    Budgets:

    Food £109.50/£250
    Other spends £76.81/£340.00

    Mr M small shop today for pet food and stuff to see DD through the week. Bought a few bits in Iceland and some toiletries from Savers. Mr M delivery booked for day after we get back from holiday.

    Will need to draw out some money for taxi, airport and plane spends. Also having manicure/pedicure/eyebrows done tomorrow so other spends budget will be seriously depleted. Got £140.50 left in food budget to last until end of the month which is doable.

    Credit card £0 - cleared it again today.

    Bank reward went in today so £3 straight to VSP now £646.94.

    Feel like I'm more in control this month but then it's only the 3rd ....
