Hello!!

Just wanted to say my Dr said that when people say you can feel the weather in your bones... you actually can. But not in your bones, it is your joints that can feel atmospheric differences. My joints tell me when it is going to rain

Big hugs you - hope you're all enjoying the tennis. I've not seen a single bit and couldn't care less. Meanwhile I still haven't missed a single UFC or Fight Night in 6 and a half years xxx

Each to their own Lilty, Each to their own...

Its the only sporting event I spend time and effort watching, apart from the odd football game when England are playing, watch with my dad, (Im the surrogate son my dad never had, and I enjoy our bonding time)

I have been watching it all day Heather Watson, fought well but she was never going to make it through but she did try hard....

not really looking for a repeat Williams Match, its just like playing a game of tennis with your sister in the back garden and I'm sure they have a deal between them, whose going to "win" the match this year ....

Sceptical and cynical me coming out....

I have just got back from Brownies and we have been out enjoying the lovely evening weather with a penny mile hike, the girls loved it, I enjoying being a brownie Leader, the few hours a week I can act like a kid *Note Im sure others would disagree and say its every day*

Hope all is okay with my westieners......

I've read a lot that the Williams sisters dad made them really competitive growing up and that drove them onwards to being ever better. I feel sorry for them. Their upbringing... all that training. Like the chinese tiger mums.

All okay here. Excpt I've killed my sides and am getting in an epsom salts bath to alleviate the pain right now! xxx

Just read the cause of your pain in your sides, I could have said that would happen with weighted hula hoops. Hope your feeling better now though..

off to catch up on other diaries after my weekend away visiting my friend and godson :-)

Hi Westie, hope you had a great weekend away hun!

It's just decided to deluge with rain here - torrential!!

Westie983

I had a good weekend away I took the godson and his sisters out for a little geocasching which they all loved "finding treasures"...

It been a crazy few days at work, due to staffing levels, I am due back at the hospital next week and I'm a little nervous as I'm not where I should be after my operations.... just need to be big and brave and tell them how I am suffering with pain and discomfort and how I just want to be fixed again so I can get back under the sea scuba diving.... I really miss it....

I have managed to find the missing £11.43 in my YNAB which has been bugging me for a few days.... I'm finally square and balanced ...

Hope everything is okay with you all :-0)

Go Go Djokovic....

Im watching the first of the two important matches on centre court, while waiting for my lunch to cook, I am doing well with eating from my stocks yay go me....

Its a shame the weather seems to have warmed back up again, but I am suffering with leg spasms and pain, I hope it gets easier for when I have to go to Brownies later....

So what have I been upto, seems like I have followed other diaries this week and not kept mine upto date....

It been a very busy week at work, we have a new starter whom needs training and observing but I think it wont be time till he will be away and fully fledged...

I was at work Wednesday when the budget was released to the public at first I didnt take much notice but I did some research on thursday to see if I could get my head around the changes as I am not a mother and dont have children I could ignore the top half of the budget and I dont claim HB or CTB, so I could ignore that bit too but I do claim WTC and this is where the biggest chuck of changes happened!!!!

Looks like I will lose a chunk of my WTC due to the threshold dropping and because I work I already lose some of the award against my earnings but with the threshold dropping quite alot will mean I will find it hard to survive without the need for HB....

The only saving grace is that I am over 25 so I can claim if I am eligible...

WITH THIS IN MIND I AM GOING TO SQUIRREL EVEN MORE OF MY MONEY AWAY WHILE I CAN...

Talk about penialising the poor/young/disabled and families....

if you are a poor young disabled mother you have been hit with a hammer....

:-?

On the news the last couple of days I've seen a lot of folks who will be affected in tears, it's horrible to see that. Including a couple of lovely working single mums who you could tell were feeling desperate.:o Also saw some disabled people who will be losing their Independent Living Allowance.

I will be squirrelling away too Westie, I need help from the expert....YOU!!:D

Westie983

WOW, im an expert get in...

I failed to make it to brownies yesterday I just could cope with wearing trousers or anything that touched my leg :-(

I am settled down on the bed with the womans final on the TV, a vanilla latte to my left and a pasta bake cooking ready to eat...

perfect Saturday I think...

**just need to start potting some more money....

Go FEDs that is all :-0)
