I hate it when the charger stops working. I am down to my latest charger too! Happy cooking and glad you are seeing people. Weather glorious by me.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Phone chargers snap internally, if yours is charging on GFs then it's not the phone.

Unfortunately I will not be going out today as I have been unwell since lunchtime. Have taken paracetamol & have been laid down since then. Had some chicken soup just now. I have also blanched some runner beans for the freezer that my friend dropped round from her allotment.

Oh no. Poor you! I hope it passes with rest. Yay for free beans. Every little bit helps.

Today is my late shift so I have been to the dentist. Check up & filling £65.20. It will be paid for from household bills account.Popped into aldi and got a few things £12.55 including clothes washing liquid, toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets.On the way home I went through McD and got a breakfast £3.88 😋 which will come from the entertainment fund.
I have just checked my shopping, all my cupboards and fridge/ freezer and the car and I have lost a pack of ham and cheese triangles. Think I must be cracking up 🤯 I must have left them in the store 😕 🤦♀️0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Hope the pain is easing. Have you tried holding warm liquid in the area, see if that helps.

Is it worth rubbing bicarb on it? OMG to losing food.
I understood about the takeaway i made myself close my eyes when i could have got off the bus two stops early and bought a chinese. I will see how i feel on Friday. After pain you do need a reward. Good luck with pain. I havent been to a dentist in years. I must find one.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
Chinese curry paste and powder is only a couple of quid. It tastes the same as takeaway and only requires water, meat and veg. It makes about 8 portions and for a quick meal just make the curry sauce with water and microwave rice.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2
