    Thanks everyone.
    Just tired of it all TBH.
    Got yet another way too big hire car.
    I know I sound like a moaning minnie but honestly.
    You don't sound like a moaning minnie at all, it's a massive inconvenience, very stressful and just something else to deal with that you don't need.  Vent away.

    You're not a moaning minnie Beanie. I think you have the patience of a saint with everything you have to deal with tbh.

    I went to our local FB today to have a chat with them about volunteering and I'm going to do 2 mornings a week. It's not really a FB as you'd know it, that's in another section for those in dire straits. Where I'll be volunteering the clients pay £3.50 and can do a shop. Depending on what they choose they tend to come away with £25+ worth of food. Was quite surprised to see all the things they had on offer to be honest including rib eye steaks and lots of fresh fruit and veg, although I was told the steaks weren't a regular thing. x

    Had a girl out with the girls last night.
    Over budget but much needed & has been booked since June!

    Official awards ceremony is on Tuesday so another chance to wear a frock.
    Hair cut is Thursday so whole months budget used in a week.
    Ooops.

    Miss S needs to go to the vet too for her booster.
    Always something. Sigh.

    Sounds like you've got some great stuff going on to offset the rubbish about the car.  Hope you had a lovely night out, and that you have a good time on Tuesday too :)
