    I'm so glad you were able to visit your parents and had a great time :j

    And I hear you had a fab time at Swanage yesterday. Hope the fireworks were of the same great standard as usual. Sorry I couldn't make it this year :( but will see you very soon :D

    Yes, pack some of your slightly smaller clothes away. Put them in a storage box in your cupboard space upstairs

    hello my lovely, I am looking forward to seeing you v soon. Swanage was amazing but it was such a late night. I am so tired today have eaten etc but keep sleeping. The boys dropped me off at 1am they are not tired at all. I have been exhausted sugars are a bit high but am waking up at last now it is 3pm.

    Plan for the day is to do some ironing. I have to change gas provider this week and also sort out a charge on my bank account for a standing order charge.

    Yes Swanage is a long and tiring day, so you need to rest today ♥

    Hello Skint Yet Again yes I rested all yesterday. Hello Susan, how is Berry? What did the vet say? I am so sorry he is keeping you up he is vvv ill now. He has been going for a looooong time against the odds. Please do look after yourself.

    All is well here. I'm doing odd jobs today.

    I had a £10 bank fine for two standing orders which I set up incorrectly. They have reversed one and now I only have to pay £10.:eek:

    Ive set up the process to transfer my gas and electric and it takes one month so I will be on an expensive tariff with my old supplier for one month. I should have done it sooner but couldn't face it. Still I know to do it for next year.:cool:

    I have taken all my fleabay items off my watch list as I have little money for the rest of the month. I am not going to the shops as I have some fruit and frozen veg and meat in.

    Hello sw :) I feel honoured that you've de-watched things, hope they weren't needs, just wants! G=

    Going to have a good read whilst procrastinating, should really be starting school planning...but 'this will be far more interesting!
  • That's good that you managed to get one of the £10 fines cancelled shame they wouldn't cancel the other too.


    Well done on resisting fleabay items too :D

    I'm supposed to be school planning but I am doing odd bits of tidying as I cant prep while the house isn't tidy. Ive got to go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and then get some eggs and bread.

    Hi petal. Berry Bear is plodding on. I've had less disturbed sleep the last few days. Friend from charity shop came round with some lavender oil and I'm putting a couple of drops on the corner of his bed at night time, and that seems to be helping. His blood results last week were fine so he can stay on the Loxicom liquid anti-inflammatory so that should help with his legs
