Good morning diary....Chilly morning, rain has passed....very quiet and still, except for a few birds tweet tweeting...love the peace and quiet, the early mornings bring, best part of the day for me
Terrible night, bad dreams,not scary nightmares but anxious dreams....might try cutting out cheese and chocolate after 6pm see how that goes. OH has been trying to make an effort as

D2
regards to his drinking, and although it feels like a calmer atmosphere ,I don't know how long this will last, maybe this is why I feel so anxious..... the calm before the storm and all that!
Have roughly £340 to pay off my mortgage today so although feeling tired also feeling very happy:):):):)
meeting my D mama this morning and DS promised him his favorite subby. Also market on in town,so thinking of checking out the fruit and veg quality and prices.
One last door to finish and hallway completed, so will definitely put some effort into getting it finished today....only problem is after painting bathroom door the woodwork around the rest of the room looks shabby, so looks like I have created some extra work ahead.
Started to use a cheaper soap powder from pundyland and it really is giving good results unlike the cheaper dishwasher-tablets and softener I tried, so need to get some .
Right...time to make a move....

Oh terrible night, tossed and turned with silly anxious dreams- my son starts his university course tomorrow. I have the biggest knot in my stomach - he has clawed his way there after leaving school with no qualifications because a stress-full few teen years...especially after counselling and recovering from his bullying time in school. He then managed to do 3 years in college and re-done all his exams, doing brilliantly "very proud". Problem is he has lost touch with all his friends and I know his confidence is battered and he is really nervous and dreading tomorrow, so we both really-need to focus on keeping busy today...........:)....Even at 20, to me he is still this vulnerable child............. you just never stop worrying.
Meeting my D Mama this morning,, then work and afternoon of catching up on housework. Cooked chicken last night so thinking chicken curry for tea.
better get a move on ....................................................................

Friend has phoned to tell me she cant pay me the money she owes me for my mortgage till Friday at the earliest, :mad: .....£1000, hoping she keeps her word!- I was a little disappointed, but well what can I do....maybe would be a good lesson learned "do not lend out money, especially to Friends".
Had a bit of a backward step were money is concerned this morning, over spent in cafe and then bought DS a maccy thought it would cheer his nerves away hmm. Then bought giant tub of cod-liver oil supplements, £12 but reduced to half price in hollandy barratts "bargain at £6" ...health kick at the moment and joints need lubricating, also good for the skin.
Nephew 2nd birthday gift, card, gift bag and sweeties.....bit of a mad morning really.
Tuesday will try to have a spend free day and it is my bingo night tonight so it is about time I had a good win to brag about in my diary me thinks
Oh nearly forgot £5 off CC
