Ds2 and family are getting a cavapoo tomorrow. Vet is quite happy for them to bring the pup to my Ds. DIL has been furloughed for now so thought it would be a good time to get a pup now, to be at home with it.xx:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.003

Amber, now is certainly a good time to get a puppy. Lots of time to settle them in.
Thanks for all the good wishes for Grandma, she got home yesterday afternoon. Bless the nurses, they made sure she had her lunch before she went home, and gave her bread, milk and sandwiches for her tea to take with her so she didn’t have to worry.
Did some painting this morning - only have one more door and the top part of the bannister left to do. Then noticed it had really brightened up outside, so sat in the garden for a while. Took a trip to Mr T’s and then walked the dog later in the afternoon.
Ordered some puppy bits on Thursday using the Amazon Voucher I won and they arrived today!! Just need the pup now! XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Good grief I didn’t realise it’s been that long since I posted!! Happy May!
Rowan became an official Team Lucky member on Saturday and has been brilliant. He’s doing great with ‘potty training’ and sleeping through the night. Oakley has adapted to being a big brother really well, and has only told him off a couple of times, both well deserved. He’s mischievous and into everything but full of fun and genuinely lovely.
Speaking of lovely;
1) Grandma is doing great. She’s a new woman!
2) My Fab sister organised a surprise parcel delivery for us from Aldi. Really kind of her.
Lost 3lbs this week and (finally!!) got my 3.5 stone award Xx

Evening!!
It seems ridiculous that I haven’t found time to post while we aren’t able to go anywhere, but I feel I haven’t stopped all week! Rowan continues to be a little star, however it’s very much like having a new baby in the house. You need eyes in the back of your head!! We managed to find a vets that were still doing vaccinations, so he had his first injection last Saturday and the next one is due a week this Saturday. Really pleased at that, as it’s so much easier when they can go for walks.
I lost another 2.5lbs last Friday, which I was thrilled with, but my SW family and I were then rocked with bad news. One of the ‘girls’ in class fell at home the next day and hit her head. She never regained consciousness and passed away on Sunday. She was only 51 and so lovely and bubbly. So so sad.
I organised a surprise for my Sister and had a gift box of baklava (her favourite) delivered. It was supposed to be in return for the Aldi delivery, but then she sent the boys a chocolate hamper. Not sure where to go from here!!
DH has had a few dodgy days. Fingers crossed nothing develops Xx
