Hello:)
Just read your whole diary! There's so much that struck chords with me! You are doing so well, sorting your grandmother out is a huge achievement and stressful with it still on going.
I have a waste of space ex too that recently had his wedding called off 2 weeks beforehand by his fianc!! Now this brought all sorts of amusement to my household! Sadly though, this means he now lives in the same town as me and the kids:( hey ho!
Keep going on your journey, I'm just starting on mine again, you're inspiring me to keep going!
My garden needs serious sorting, I've had building work done and now the garden looks like a huge heap of mud! Now where did I leave my motivation.........;)
Enjoy the rest of the holidays:)0 -
EE...THANK YOU...you must already know about my H&B addiction? Well guess what I'm buying next? :j Have a £5.50 voucher to go towards it so will throw a few of them down my neck!!:rotfl:
Ig....don't know about living room...more like a small forest to saw through on my legs:rotfl:
Ding!!! Do you have a diary? How wonderful to think of someone reading through my whole diary!!! Crazy! xx
Well, had a million times better day yesterday as didn't kill myself with a mile long to do list but actually got loads done by thinking I wasn't doing much! Oh the psychology! Kept having little breaks in the sun.
However, DD ill with burning fever that got worse in the night. Although I'm no fusspot I was subconsciously worried and awake all night as the temp wouldn't go down. She threw up this morning and is still in bed. So not like her as she is normally hyper. So looks like plans to go to nan's are off.
Will update later.
Ps bad news...asked DS to go to cashpoint to get money for gas and he left £30 in machine and then took out £30 more :mad::mad::mad:
Oh well...what can you do???

Oh no about the cashpoint - I know it's a long shot, but is it worth phoning the branch and explaining, just on the off chance some honest soul handed it in? You never know.
Hope DD improves too.
Ahh, liking the pyschology, trouble is I can't remember things to do unless they're from a list :rotfl:

Good idea Ali re bank as I heard somewhere if money is not taken out of the machine within a certain amount of time then it is sucked back in. So could be that no-one else was there and money went back into bank. Worth a shot anyway5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

I think most have cameras on the cashpoint too, so they might be able to play it back and see he didn't take the money. Defo worth a phone call I agree (with myself :rotfl:) Doh!Back on the DFW Wagon:
