    All i did was post the final cards to neighbours and wash some clothes. I slept for much of the afternoon. Soooo tired but happy.

    Plans for tomorrow include washing bedclothes, hoovering, mopping, popping to dr's etc with chocolates, putting notes in garage. Starting a bit of marking possibly. That sounds like an awful lot. We will see how far i get.

    Credit card bill is £400 for this month and next month. I have all of it put aside so that's ok.

    So far i havent done any marking. It is in a pile on my table and i am avoiding it. I am waiting for my lovely red coat to arrive and enjoying making the house look almost tidy again.

  • I had a marvellous time. He fed me and i had a great time. I ate soooo  much on Steve's birthday and Christmas.  We kept thinking of Steve and I am so proud of how Andy is coping. 

     Andy and I thought we were allergic to the lilly plant as we both caught a cold on Friday and Saturday!!! I only realised when i woke up coughing today as i thought it should have stopped by now. A good job i wore a mask and gloves all the way home. 

    I am just cancelling dr's medical for tomorrow as it is a minor cough and bunged up nose, to be honest it is nearly finished, but this could infect them and a v vulnerable patient and it might really make them ill so i am going to have to stand up my date at the surgery. I have just written to let them know. 

    All my Christmas money is spent. Roll on payday. I ordered some new perfume at a v good price. I have £50 cash still and £20 after all bills and cc payments go out for this and next month. That Christmas fund made it all manageable this year. The new job has stopped me feeling broke all the time.
