Thank you all for your good wishes and hugs!
BG are coming on Saturday morning. It was the only time they could get that suits me. As long as it's fixed for when Mr SA comes out that's all that matters. I'm hardly there at the moment anyway.
Managed to underspend on my budget this past week so have sent £10.10 to my Halifax card to make it a nice(?) round £3350. Also sent £3.34 to my VSP so this now stands at £251.81. Don't think I'm doing as well with the VSP as this time last year but then we had Mr SA's wages coming in.
New week's budget starts today. Have already spent nearly £60 of it on an online grocery shop being delivered tonight. Trying Mr A for the first time as Mr T have put up the price of their late night delivery slots. However, shouldn't need to buy much else.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
More hugs from me. Well done on the underspend, no mean feat with all the plates you are juggling. XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Glad you've got a time for BG. Really important for Mr SA coming home but for you do.
Keep warm and try to get just a little me time.

Hello all
Mr SA still not well. He is back to catheter and on oxygen as his lungs are not getting enough. He feels rough he says - sore throat and aching everywhere. He has had chest xray. Hopefully this is the low point the doctors were talking about and it will be over shortly.
Finance wise - not got a lot left to last until next Wednesday when new budget starts (£20 I think) but should be ok as now have plenty of food in after the Mr A delivery. Probably just a top up shop of milk and fruit on Monday. Determined to stick to it! Since I decided to re-jig the way I handle my finances it's worked out a lot better. Started using cash as well where possible so I can actually see what I've got left!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
