Today I dodged a bullet. Mr wii advised that my weight was on an upward trajectory but not enough to add a pound to the total. Yesterday started off with nightmare weather so I cancelled plans to meet a friend. Happily it improved so I was able to nip out and source some stuff needed for holidays. I also made use of my second mr t money off voucher and got some Christmas supplies that were on a clubcard deal. Apart from that, little was done though dh cleared up the ironing.Today I need to climb mountains but am struggling to get out of bed.
today I am grateful for

There wasn’t much ironing to be done milann and he missed out one item. He also decided that my work trousers did not need ironing-they most definitely do.
so on Sunday I disappeared off to have coffee with a friend and deliver a gift for her 70th birthday on Monday. I was munching a sugar free mint as I drove and realised there was a hard piece. I checked the mirror and my front tooth filling had gone. Happily I’ve now got an 11.30 appointment today. I never thought I’d use the word happily for a trip to the dentist.On other news, there was progress work wise that was such a relief. DH has a cold and despite using nose strips, is snoring like a trooper so yesterday was an early start. I also picked up meds yesterday so dh has sorted these for picking. I dropped off soft plastics and bought a ready meal for last night’s dinner. I also got two bags to the charity shop and spent £1 for two books as holiday reads.We also paid for next month’s pb purchase, based on a guesstimate and that got me into another percent. Another £400 would see me seven eighths of the way to target. Fingers crossed that Ernie will be generous.
right, need to get moving. I’ve two work calls to make before I go to the dentist. I’d also like to sort out perishables to go to dsis.Today I am grateful for
a lovely nhs dental surgery
