Yesterday DGD wasn't well , wouldn't eat not like her at all. Sounded like she smoked when she was coughing. Anyway DD took her to the doctors and she has chest infection so got antibiotics. Hopefully she should perk up now .
Today has all been about normal weekend chores . Went shopping but was mindful of not needing much food . Have parents for Sunday lunch tomorrow.
Then I have written the list to beat all my lists for all things that need doing this week . I got the suitcase out and tried on all the things I think I would like to take . It needs condensing down a bit more . Found my hand luggage case and back pack so feel ever so more organised than last night.
I had a visit from my lovely male friend who I would love to run of in to the sunset with , but he doesn't feel the same . He is a fantastic friend and still makes my tummy flip after 8 years of knowing him. The one who got away I am afraid.
Anyway back to reality and best get on with the list. My mum and dad are giving me my birthday present tomorrow, no idea what it will be.
Enjoy the evening.
Awww shame about the one who got away,I had something similar before I met my ex partner but it was my silly fault as I seem to like the bad boys and this lad was one of the nice ones,I realised too late that he was actually a good catch and he is now very happily married, we aren't in contact with each other but do bump into each other occasionally and we usually say hi and then I walk away and mentally kick myselfOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1200
