Get a grip !

It's lasted well, I thought it was only a couple of bags each visit with DF bringing some when he came.
It would be worth saying about shifts having an impact due to your sleep pattern.
Should have picked up emergency 1p sweets 😀

I didn’t think there was such a thing as 1p sweets anymore 😆

Oh, it's been ages since I've been to a proper sweet shop!

Me too. The last time I bought sweets I think it was blackjacks & fruit salads 1/2 p each 😆. However I cannot resist chocolate 😬

Thinking of dog food I think I got some off DF in July when I met him half way up M1 between lockdowns when we could meet outside. 6 bags lasts 300 days. It feels so long ago I can’t remember 😆

I remember buying blackjacks and fruit salads at 4 for 1penny (old money so a farthing each)  Also 1d (1 penny) 'Dainty', so you could have bought 240 for £1.  The day after decimalization you could only get 100 for £1.  Then they halved the size of them!  Talk about being ripped off.

Did someone say 'sweets'? yum. I had some black jacks recently from the boys and they made my tongue black! I hope work are being helpful and OH can make useful suggestions.

I love the vintage sweets talk. Aniseed twists none? Bright orange and cut the roof of my mouth! Yet I loved them

Think we are all going to try and find an old style sweet shop payday with this talk!

Terrible headache tonight after a stressful work day. Had fish & chips delivered for tea £9.39. Will be paid from June entertainment fund. 

Have just logged back on to work computer & done some prep for a case that has been going on all week & I want to close it tomorrow. Should be manageable now. 

Have received an email from MSE energy club & £12.50 cash back for gas switch is being paid now with another £12.50 for electric to follow. 🤗

Am looking forward to my meal out tomorrow. Am going to get a taxi and have a few drinks 🍷😁 Have also been invited to another friends bbq on Monday (the friend I sometimes bump into walking the dog) & the forecast is good so far ☀️

I gave my first month meter readings to my new supplier yesterday. I paid £96.01 on 1 May and am in credit by £35.22 so that will add up monthly to cover the winter bills. I have changed my direct debit to round it down to £95 which sounds a lot less than £96.01 somehow 😆 Cashback also on its way £25. There was also a refund from the previous supplier of £34.26.  The question is do I 

a. Pay the cash back onto my gas & electric account 
b. Share the cash back with DS & gf as they are now paying extra for increase in monthly bills or 
c. Keep it myself (£59.26)

I am favouring c at the moment 😆 Does that make me a bad parent or do I treat it as Payment for all the dog walking!
