Welcome back. DF is a sweetie.
Hope your friend feels better soon and your tooth is ok.
Your plans sound great, try and fit in some rest too.

Omg i  missed the tooth bit. Yikes. Good luck I'm going to reread it.

It’s been a busy week. Had physio assessment at the hospital yesterday & am waiting for an email with exercises. 

Have got back into the routine of walking the dog and I feel so unfit after just a week off! Hopefully will soon get back into the swing of it. Lovely walk on the fields today eating apples & blackberries along the way ☺️

Yesterday I did a shop in aldi £35.14. Hopefully that will last until payday with just a top up of milk next week. 

Over the next few days I am going to cut the grass. I will go over it with the shears first it has got so long. Then my little lightweight hover will do the rest. 

I will also sort online banking and move money from / into savings accounts to cover spends. 

Car fund £21 for wipers 
dog food fund £126 plus £40 for bag bought in p at home
Chairs & bench £65 household fund
petrol up north £33 (already had just under £10 in)

Welcome back. Well done on tackling grass I admire your determination. Want to sort my weeds out?   Well done on Aldi spend. I am hoping i can access one of those with my new job.  Fab that you can cover spends!

Chill a bit if you can.

Took me 3 hours to cut the grass 🤦‍♀️do a bit, sit for a while, do a bit more ! I also tidied the shed. 

Later in the afternoon I drove to the sea front with a friend and we had a walk. Our other friend has tested positive for covid so couldn’t come with us. We haven’t seen her since before I went away and I am still testing negative. 

My NSD was sabotaged by a tea room & I had a cheese & ham toastie and pot of tea (2 cups) £10.50. Was lovely to sit outside and chill by the sea. 

On the way home we called at bnq where my friend bought paint and plants for her garden. I resisted the urge & bought nowt 😆

Your spends are good and save money over time.
Sea front walk and lunch sound wonderful, have to make the most of good weather days.

Thanks MF. It’s raining today so I’m glad I went out yesterday even though I was knackered 😆

So far today I have walked the dog and fixed my kitchen window blinds with a tube of superglue £2 bought when shopping up at DFs. 

I have also scoffed half a pack of Jaffa cakes 🤦‍♀️and am trying not to scoff the other half. I am not planning on doing much this weekend

I no longer eat jaffa's as TomBo used to buy me the big multi pack box, every day I would sit and eat one packet. 

Chilled out weekend is good, you've done so much lately and need a rest.

Long post just disappeared 😕

Went for an early evening walk with friend on Saturday along the costal path and ended up in the pub. She bought the drinks, I had a fruit cider. Couldn’t manage 2 or would not have been able to walk back 😆 I will pay next time. We got back just before 9pm & it was dark 😳

Sunday was mostly resting apart from dog walking. I ordered a Chinese box meal for delivery with samosas, mini spring rolls, bbq spare ribs, chicken wings, sweet & sour chicken balls, sesame prawn toast, crispy seaweed & salt & pepper chips (usually covered in chopped garlic & chilli). The chips were plain and so I gave feedback and they refunded the full price. 

Email from VM they are doing work in our area on thu. Work has said I must come into the office or take the day off so I am taking the day off. I am hoping to arrange to see another friend for dog walk / lunch.

So annoying when that happens! Apparently there is a way of saving them as draft, but I've not found it on my phone, might be a PC only thing.

Pub trip sounded fun. Shame about the chips but everything else is mouth watering.

Not surprised to hear you've booked the day off!
