Get a grip !

Skint_yet_Again

It was warm and sunny at 9.30 when I walked the puppy but now its cold and cloudy with forecast rain here too so I haven't done any washing. In fact I haven't done much... feel like I CBA today !


I did pop to co-op and used the pukka £5 voucher to buy some groceries for the weekend including a loaf of bread, steak pie, 4 pints milk and a pack of bacon. I still have one portion of slow cooker stew left in the freezer and 2 portions of roast chicken, plus pizza and garlic bread for tonight, so that should keep me going until Monday when I will go to Aldi for shopping ready for DS coming home on Tuesday. He's only been gone 2 weeks but I think he will be surprised how much puppy has grown even though I have been sending him pictures via WotsApp

I posted here earlier but it didn't print. Yikes

I bet DS will be looking forward to the changes in dear Puppy and I do hope he had fun there though despite the weather. He will be able to help with Puppy which will take some of the pressure from you and hopefully he will bring you a gift or two!:j:j

Chill, I have been resting and doing housework.

I chilled and had a snooze yesterday afternoon then walked the puppy. After her last feed I popped out and picked up my friends and we had a lovely evening and pizza's were a big hit. The aldi £2.49 rose was lovely, tasted of strawberries


Today I have done very little again apart from a load of washing which has dried outside. I been eating leftovers all day from the freezer apart from a scrummy bacon sarnie for breakfast (free with voucher in co-op) and will be going shopping tomorrow so I will treat myself to something different for dinner tomorrow.

Glad you had a good time with your friends. OMG a free bacon sandwich???? that's fab.

I dried my clothes outside too.

Did someone mention £2.49 rose!?!?!? Was this a weekend only deal or do I need to hot-foot it to an Aldi after school tomorrow?

The free bacon sarnie was courtesy of the £5 voucher sent to me by pukka which I spent on food in the co-op including a loaf of bread and a pack of bacon


KK that particular rose is always £2.49 in my local Aldi. I am not a big wine drinker, but I like rose or peach lambrini or Asti I am in bed now but I will find the bottle and post the name of it later.


I had leftover roast chicken for lunch and dinner yesterday. I had chicken with sweetcorn and some leftover egg fried rice (defrosted from the freezer & heated thoroughly in the microwave) for lunch with soy sauce and ginger. For dinner I poured some nando's piri piri sauce from my store cupboard on the chicken and warmed it through in tin foil in the oven then had it on a wrap with fried onions and the last of the peppers with some skinny oven fries plus the last of the tomatoes and cucumber.


I will probably go shopping later today. I will be phoning the GP surgery at 8am to try and get an appointment later today. Once I know what time that will be I can plan the rest of the day.

GP appointment made for 4.30pm, puppy walked, washing on.


The wine I bought for £2.49 in aldi was Grove Manor Fruity Rose. I don't know if they have it in all stores.


I am waiting to feed puppy at 12 as they have to rest before and after exercise so they don't get an illness called bloat. Then I am going to aldi and will call into the chemist on the way home and collect my prescription. I have arranged my sharps collection for next week (as I have been told not to test my diabetes any more) and I don't have to be home for that. I also need to sort out my flu jab so I may get that done in the chemist too.


This afternoon I will wash puppy towels and bedding if it stays dry outside and I need to phone the credit card company as I have received 1 letter on Friday and they told me I would receive 2. My friend is supposed to be coming round later this afternoon to collect her dog crate we borrowed.


If I get 5 minutes spare I may do some gardening ! With all the rain my climbing rose has gone a bit wild and the shrubs are all huge again. The green bin collection is tomorrow so I will check if my neighbour has anything to go in it as we went halves with the cost.

Well done on not needing to do blood tests any more. I hope you managed to get your washing done. I will try to do some tomorrow.

Well done on gardening.

It stayed nice and warm this afternoon so all washing dried and I did a bit of gardening. I picked up my prescription and had my free flu jab at the chemist.


Its not my choice not to test SW I would like to carry on as I don't have a clue how food affects me but the NHS don't want type 2 to test any more Their answer was to give me more meds which are the ones making me lose weight so I suppose there is at least a good side effect !


Shopping at Aldi was £40.63 and I put £10 petrol in the car. I had a 50% off chow mein £1.15 for a quick lunch before taking puppy for a walk round the pond.


I had my dr apt and am being sent for a chest xray to make sure my condition is not being caused by lung problems. I have been given repeat meds and stronger painkillers and a fit note for work adjusted duties for another 4 weeks as I am still losing my voice when I speak


I treated myself to boneless bbq ribs for dinner and they are almost ready in the oven with mixed veg including the runner beans my friend gave me. She gave me another lot today which I will freeze and some lovely ripe tomatoes

savingwannabe

OMG that is dreadful. I am so sorry. Blimey I didn't know they could do that. I would be utterly lost without my meter. Can you appeal?

Well done on the flu jab. OMG I am so sorry about all this treatment that is not helping with your voice. I hope this xray helps to diagnose what is wrong. Im not 100% but I do feel much better.

Well done on nice food. It is getting dark outside. It's definitely autumn.
