Get a grip !

If people don't like it, they'll have to look at why people don't want to contribute to all the drinks. Stand your ground and ask your friend to do so too.

Hope your day went well.

Thanks MF we have both decided no drinks as the wine list shows the cheapest bottle is £18.45!! We are hoping to get water then move on to another local bar for a drink after the meal. 

She has invited me round tomorrow afternoon for a chat & a baileys so I’m looking forward to that. 😊

Work is now finished for the week 🤗

Not sure if this will help you with tyres. Since I’ve been ill, it’s been really difficult to do mine. Boyfriend will do it for me, but as he lives 30 miles away, it’s not always convenient. So I asked ATS and they’ve been fine with me. I explained how my back was to them as well. I always call first rather than pitch up in case they’re busy and I did offer to pay, but they would have none of it. I suppose they think if they discovered a slow puncture or something I’d find it difficult to refuse for them to deal with it, but worth it for the help it’s been.

How much 😲 
Enjoy the Bailey's, it's a fantastic winter drink.

Great tip MW, take them biscuits next month, if you can spare it.

Yum to Baileys. I always hated having to pay for other's drinks, I really cant afford it now.

Thanks MW that’s a great idea. I will try & pluck up the courage!

MF & SW you are so right about paying for drinks. If they are buying in rounds I always opt out and say I will buy my own as I’m not drinking as much. 

 I woke up during a doze on the sofa having a coughing fit last night, not sure why, it felt like something had irritated the back of my throat. It stopped after a warm drink but is now very sore. I have had a drink and paracetamol at 3.30am and I am awake again and just having a cup of tea, hoping to doze off again. 

Plans for the weekend 

Clean oven 

Read meters

Descale kettle 

Phone car ins - report low mileage 

Clean shower screen & bath panel 

Wood stain bath panel

Grey sky but mild here today. No wind outside so no point in hanging any washing out. Heating is off as it’s not cold.
I’m feeling blergh, not a “sore throat” but sore larynx plus remaining half thyroid is swollen & sore from coughing yesterday. Have just had another couple of paracetamol & will have a shower and hair wash this morning and hopefully the steam from the shower will help. 

Didn’t get back to sleep so I’ve been up for ages and had breakfast. I’ve descaled the kettle and submitted meter readings. Slow cooker is on with more veg soup. Hopefully a baileys later will help me feel better 😋🍹

I hope so, i have just randomly started sneezing twice after going for a walk. I hope you feel better after rest and paracetomol. Steaming is good. I woke up at 4am this morning and couldnt sleep. Andy was the same. Something in the air i think. 

Bailey's sounds lovely. Enjoy today.

Thanks SW Hope you and Andy are ok and not starting with a lurgy. Have a lovely day. 

Just adding to my list of things to do this weekend as I need to dig out my Christmas cards I bought in the sales last year & check I have enough
