Day 2/28
Its Sunday been awake since 9am, slept rubbish by the way, then again you would expect that, wouldn't you... too much to think about.. I'm thinking maybe if I'm working extra shifts this month I will be too tired to lie away thinking of the mess,, might be a good option. Throw myself into work and come home tired... we will see next week.
So I'm being naughty, oh got up and made me a cuppa tea in bed. So I'm being very Sunday morning lazy at the minute...
I've been on line and checked my bank account, still money in but not enough.. checked fleabay. Two items close this evening, one has watchers but I might have set bidding price to high, quality item I didn't want to let it go at stupid money like 99p.. I know everyone wants a bargain these days but not at a joke of a price..
Felt uncomfortable yesterday, my
dd1 took me to the shop, she actually paid for my items in the basket, along with hers, felt very wrong, she said its ok mum , I've got more money than you.. now that's sad,, hopefully when I'm out of this hole I will pay her back.. funny though my son did a job in my house yesterday and he said he doesn't want paying he does it because he loves me and I'm hid mum
I've told my dd the situation... I'm thinking she as told her brother,,,
So I'm off now as the day seems to running away with me.. time to get up... will catch up later as I want to find a nice reciepe for veg soup from the old style boards, have a lot of veg left, don't want to waste it.
Promised oh we will go for a walk today if the weather holds, get out more.. and its free!.0 -
