    Last night I spent £10 (plus £5 delivery) on a small coffee table from Marketplace. It has just arrived and I have been pleasantly surprised. It needs a little tlc but rather than being a stop gap it should end up as a permanent member of my household. :j:j

    I was going to go to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test but will leave it till next week as my sugars are high as my injection wasn't working properly. I have sorted it out now. :cool:

    I have applied for a new bank. It took 20 mins they have accepted me. OMG. How quick was that?

    Today is my day off I have emailed work about new bank.

    Then I tidied one large unit in the kitchen that I didn't do in the summer hols, swept and mopped.

    I have tried to mark but feeling v tired.

    I spent £15 on a new foundation and £4 on fleabay for clothes. I remember when I could afford to buy brand new stuff. It seems like a lifetime ago and it's only ten years.

    Jenny have you thought about getting a table top tree ? Not so much hassle to put up and not too big to store.

    I had a work thing to do today and then I went for a meal with a friend. Total cost £30. I also spent £19 on food.

    Im just washing clothes. I am taking today off and then will be marking tomorrow. Im thinking of applying for the British Gas price cut in this week's bulletin.

    Henry is wearing two sets of lights but at the moment that is it. I will try to stick some red on him today in between marking and ironing and tidying.

    It is Remembrance Day - very humbling. We are so lucky to have an England that is free because of sacrifices made by others. God Bless those who gave their lives for us. We will not forget.

    Items ironed so far: 16 & vacuumed house. Will do marking on day off.
