Glad that the ENT consultant discovered what the problem was but hope it heals v soon. Well done on the safety gate and glad that you are getting rid of your table! Yay.

Skint Yet Again, when was the last time you travelled abroad? Mine was 12 years ago.

Table has gone !


I went to Dublin about 10 years ago lol does that count as abroad ?

Before that went to Spain to visit my sister in law. We had some lovely family holidays in Disneyland Paris (10 days), Rome, Sicily and Dubai before my divorce.

Before that I went to the south of France with some girl friends from college.

That's about the extent of my travelling and I cant see me being able to afford to go again in the foreseeable future unless its a girls weekend holiday to Benidorm :rotfl: Even then I think the travel insurance would cost more than the holiday !

Well done on table. I'm in the same boat holidaywise. 12 years ago I went to UAE.

We need to win the lottery.

Feeling a little low today after hospital apt yesterday I am very sore and croaky and things going on at work which I am not agreeing to. Have contacted my union rep so hopefully she can help me again. Picked up some shopping on the way home and got a tikka with rice 30% off which I have just had for lunch. I will just have salad for dinner later.


There is still so much to do before our puppy arrives next week I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I need to take a lot of stuff to the tip which will make things look better but I need to wait for DS to do the heavy lifting into my car. I am going to have a snooze and hopefully I will feel better after.

Hello my lovely, we both have the same issues at work I think. Leave the idiots to it. They will realise when it's their turn to have a medical condition. Focus on the nice things like the bright weather, the summer, a puppy omg. It will be fab.

In the mean time, don't have any stress about house. I don't think we ever went to so much trouble when we had a puppy. He was too young to climb the stairs when we had ours. We had the stairgate fitted later. You are miles ahead of most owners.

You are doing such a lot please don't beat yourself up. She will be like a baby all she wants is feeding and someone to chat to her and hug her and later someone to take her for walks. They always like people who have nice shoes to chew on too!!!! She wont even notice the house.

Now have a nice rest and when you wake up all will be well. I am in my pjs and am going to have a nice sleep in front of ITVbe too. Please be happy as you always cheer me up.

Am glad its Friday :j


I put out 6 bags of rubbish this morning and my old patio table (which DF had chopped in half to fit in my car so I could take it to the tip) plus the table legs bagged up and the lovely bin men have taken the lot ! Just the chopped up wardrobe and old lawnmower to go to the tip now.


I have been to B&M and bought puppy things :happyhear Then went to Pets at home and got a grooming kit reduced to £5 from £8.50 and puppy training treats & puppy dental sticks buy-one-get-one-half-price. Also bought her a chew bone for teething which can go in the freezer. Oh and I also got some stuff for us in B&M lol .... 4 pack of noodles £1 and flavoured tilda micro rice 59p a bag.

Good morning ! Its overcast with heavy showers today so I will save the washing till tomorrow when it is meant to be fine and dry.


I fancied a takeaway last night but instead I cooked a garlic chicken I got in aldi for £3.79 and had some with salad. The rest is sliced up for DS lunch today and I will have some cold with salad over the weekend.


I was up by 8am today as expecting a parcel of puppy goodies arriving sometime today. I have cooked a big pan of chilli for dinner this evening for me and DS and there should enough left over for a work lunch next week for DS. Should be able to avoid the takeaway craving this evening if I can just nuke the chilli.


SW you need to picture not-quite-hoarders for my home pre-puppy !! There wasn't stuff all piled up but it would have been a nightmare to bring a puppy here before with paperwork everywhere, no space, 4-5 bags of DS work equipment and just stuff in general everywhere (we had that lived-in look !!)


I am glad we have had a clear out as the house looks so much more spacious and I can happily let a puppy live here safely now.


I am ironing today and I need to make space in a cupboard for puppy food. Once parcel has arrived, if it comes early enough, I will take a trip to the tip

ironing done
tip run done
scrubbed patio - need to get a pressure washer !!
One load of washing done - DS work clothes now on the line as its stopped raining at the moment and the sun is out, its been pouring most of the afternoon


NSD :j


Friend came round with loaned medium dog crate. We have large one on loan from my niece for when she is bigger which DP's brought down with them.


Bedding arrived from amaxon which is great, but the wrong size dog carrier for the car, so DS has had to order another for delivery tomorrow. He phoned them and complained and they have said they will send the right size tomorrow - we will see.

OMG you did so much I was only gone for two days! This puppy will be so happy and looked after. The whole family's been helping out I can see. It's lovely.

Weather might be nicer today. I will post later as I'm getting ready to collect my mirrors at 9.30.
