That's a good use of the money and will tick a lot off your to do list.

Went shopping to aldee this morning £39.35. I used the £20 I found on the field and £5 I had in my purse for ages and paid the rest on my debit card. Now I can transfer £10 online to pay for takeaway the other day on my credit union and £10 into house repairs / diy.I popped into the doctor as they sent me a text to get my blood pressure reading & they are opposite aldee and ended up having a tetanus booster and mmr booster while I was there! I have my flu jab end of this month and apparently I will be getting a covid booster in November!!

Great shop and money shuffle.
That's a lot of jabs and hopefully there won't be any for a while.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Blooming auto correct in earlier post I put “credit card” it changed it to credit union???The doctor told me that we should have 5 tetanus jabs to be covered so they are topping everyone up ! MMR I had as a child but they are doing everyone again last year & this was the booster. No problem with supply of flu jabs despite reports on the news. Couple of years ago I was offered a pneumonia jab which I had & that is once in a lifetime.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I thought you had a random account you'd not told us about 🙈
Guidance changes over time with jabs, grab them while offered and it's another thing ticked off the to do list.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Had a good sleep last night the dog came up and woke me at 6am wanting her breakfast 😆I usually wake and feed her around 5am! Always feel exhausted after working a late shift. Went out for some fresh air around 6.30pm with DS’s gf & the dog. Then had dinner & bed not a very exciting Friday night these days 😆Plans for today are walk the dog around 8am then packing & sorting ready for DF coming to stay. Lots of stuff in spare room to go in the loft. That may have to wait until tomorrow as my injection arm is really sore today.All food will be from stores. I bought a Thai green curry kit from Aldee so will make a couple of meals with that and I also got some lambs liver so I am looking forward to liver & mash & onion gravy for a couple of days 😋
Ds & his gf’s share of bills money has now come in my account so I will be doing some money shuffling later. Right now it’s time for a cup of tea & another snooze. Dog is already curled up in her bed 🐶😁0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

It's an exciting enough evening 😃
Pace yourself, can't be overdoing it and be too tired when DF arrives. Edging closer to his visit.
Have a good weekend!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Thanks Babs 😁 Lovely morning here has turned into a nice gently warm sunny day. Walked the dog for an hour. Not so many blackberries left now.Dog towels washed & drying on the line. Patio washed. Poured boiling water on the patio weeds and sprayed the weeds in the rest of the garden with weedkiller. Also sprayed the weeds in the front forecourt. Didn’t take long or take much effort & sat down in between.Just had lunch, fancied a kfc, instead I had 5 garlic mini Kiev (£1.49 for 15) few chips & watercress salad. Can of tropical fizz (like lilt) zero sugar from aldee (£1.25 for 6 cans) & a Cornet-0 type ice cream (79p for box of 4)0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Went for a walk along the shoreline this afternoon with a friend and had a drink at the pub £4.80 for 2 drinks. Home again and took the dog for a walk round the pond. Legs are achy tonight.Fancied fish and chips for dinner but instead warmed a batch of chilli on some chips with garlic sauce & grated cheese & fresh green chilli. 😋
