    The BP monitors are a nightmare! When I had to wear one, every time it contracted I felt like my arm was in a vice! Still it’s certainly worth the bother.

    Hope you’re having a lovely time and the weather is favouring you.

    Hope you're having a great time :) Never been to the Lakes sadly, nearly did once but had to cancel because of snow.

    The Lakes are beautiful, I went once when I was 11 and have always wanted to go back :).

    What a whirliwind weekend , how did it get to Sunday evening. SSG 100% agree about BP monitor was so glad to take it back , but obviously worthwhile.

    Friday night drive North , tumbled into my king size bed and slept ok. Morning was visiting friend who hasn’t been well. After lunch at pub , went for an amble round the Lake. I never tire of the views whatever the weather . Grey , dry and cold it was. Dinner cooked for me by other friend , normally would stay over but had lots to do today , so I got home around 1.00am this morning.

    Mr A shopping, cleaning and all the ironing. Anyway all done ready for the week.

    Have minor surgery tomorrow afternoon , nothing sinister so should be ok after it.

    Going to pay another £30 off CC2 before payday on Thursday.

    Plan a nice treat for when the surgery is over.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
