Morning All
Thanks for allowing me to vent/moan about the car yesterday. My mother has lent me the extra £160 to get the car fixed.
Had a bit of a carp day yesterday, but am feeling better now that i know i'll be able to go to work tomorrow.
My boss has been great and said that i could work on Friday instead of today (was not scheduled to work on Friday, was supposed to work today but car in the garage until Thursday am) and i have tomorrow off anyway. She said i could get a lift from her if needs be for Thursday. I am lucky to have a good boss!
Anyway, i made up todays lunch as i thought i was going to work, so i'll keep at it. Today is pasta salad.0 -

Day 9
I took Baby J for baby growth check-up at 11:50AM. I know he's going to be very hungry so I gave him some to munch before we left. I forgot myself.
So, when we are about to leave the place I was trembling with hunger. It was good i brought my Baby J's lunch and ate the last cracker he has in his bag. Just enough for me to calm myself and almost went for a drive-thru at Mc Donalds.
Now at home, had some cookies while waiting for my food to be cooked.
