DS and his gf have been at work. Unfortunately there is not enough space to put piles of things. 

My 2-dogs friend came over with lots of boxes for packing. One load of washing line dried and put away. Hoovered and dusted the living room. One more box packed. Just off out to meet friends.

Had a lovely evening yesterday with friends. Total spend on food and 2 bottles of fruit cider £19.99

Walked the dog this morning. It’s been a dry & windy day. Went for a lunch time walk with a friend. Ordered a free grocery delivery from mr M, total spend £38.95 including some superglue to stick the kitchen blinds back together (the weights in the bottom of a couple of them have come loose) and pack of 4 toothbrushes £1.05 and antibacterial wipes, bin bags & toiletries 

I am off work tomorrow and need to go a couple of things after walking the dog
- pick up meds
- glue blinds
- hoover rest of downstairs 
- pack another 2 boxes

We have a thunderstorm here at the moment keeping me awake ⚡️⛈⚡️

Enjoy your day off, try not to do too much and have a power nap later.

Have a lovely day off

I am hoping you rested a tiny bit and are feeling a little better as you are at home. Moving house is soooo much work.

Thank you MF, dia and SW. 

I packed 2 boxes after walking the dog and having a snooze. I couldn’t hoover or fix the blinds as DS was working from home. 

Then I collected my meds on the way to pick up my no-dogs friend and we went to lunch. Just a nice meal in wertherspoons with a drink £6.20 and a wander round the marina and shops 😊 I bought some tea towels for my new place to match the new colour scheme £3.99. 

Just going to walk the dog then I am meeting my 1-dog friend who moved away and we are going into town. 

I am trying not to think about going back to work tomorrow. Still waiting to hear from the doctor.

Well done with packing.
I ordered boxes from Wilk0 too and found them good.
Hope work is better than expected

Had a lovely time in town with my friend today. Was raining on and off but we stayed dry in the shops. It’s been ages since I treated myself to new things 
New fitted sheet £12.99
dish brushes £1 - packed
Scourers £1 - packed
bin liners £1 - packed
pack 2 pillows £8
christmas cards 3 boxes for price of 2, couple of special cards for family, 3 books of 2nd class stamps total £23.75 - from Christmas/ birthdays pot. I will try and get some written for when DF comes down in October so he can take them back with him and hand them out when he delivers his.

We had a lovely Chinese lunch & drink £10

I have been looking at designer glasses in spek savers £129 buy one get one free including standard lenses. I usually get the cheapest frames I can find online but am thinking of “treating” myself to some really nice ones. I’m just trying to decide if they are worth it. I need to look at my upcoming late shifts and book an eye test (free). 

I am also going to look at leave availability for Thursday and Friday and hope to take the rest of the week off.

Lovely sunny dog walk this morning. Torrential rain last night and we just missed a downpour after we got back today. The local pond is filling back up and the grass is turning green again. All good to see and the ducks are floating again rather than standing on the bottom! 

I am on a late shift today. Will be taking the dog to the vet this morning for her usual treatment covered by her pet plan which DS pays for. I have booked Thursday and Friday off 🤗 Still not heard from the GP despite 2 online referrals and 2 phone calls it’s now over a week. I don’t want to take sick so hopefully by the end of the week when my survey is done it will be good news and less stress!

It's mainly SS I buy my glasses from and I've had no issues with the frames or lenses popping out. Aside from last time, all my others have been from their very budget range.

Shopping trip was productive, seems like you're sorted out with the practical items for a bit.

Enjoy your time off and fingers crossed the surveyor sends a favourable report quickly. It will help with your stress levels. I'm beginning to see the benefits of our system having the report available before viewing!
