    I have ordered some hay fever tablets for my family thanks to MSE. I have saved for all of next month's credit card bill (137) and have £138 left for food and fun which is fine.

    (All future travel to visit my friends will be funded by emergency fund of £450 (£250 of which was obtained from savings)). 
    It is gorgeous and bright popping out to do chores.

    I have one more thing to do tomorrow it was so cold i couldnt face another walk to post office. It is snowing again. Rather bizarre weather we are having. 
     The marking i was supposed to do today has not been handed in so i am taking the day off.I have lots of extra marg so I am making scones to use it up. 

     Steve is waiting for a new bed to arrive so he can sleep in lounge it better turn up he is getting quite distressed as he is stuck in one room and he loves his lounge. I am ok but just cannot believe my wonderful friends are going through so much.

    Stay positive, the bed will arrive soon and Steve will be even more comfortable and relaxed.

    Don't forget to get some rest yourself.

    I am i took the whole day off. Today i have to do some marking.

    I have investigated getting a gardening bin for my garden waste it is £66 odd pounds and i will ring for it after Friday so it goes on my new credit card bill.  If i can all my food shopping will go on my credit card (but i will transfer this money from my debit card to my bill fund) so i still get points on my credit card. 

    Steve has just been given his second vaccine. We didnt think they would as he is so ill. They came to the house. To me this is brilliant news as it means we have more time with him. The sun is coming out now.
