    Evening all

    Busy day today, went to do some filing work at my oestopath, and he made me coffee and did a minor adjustment in my back, he is such a lovely man.

    I was able to catch up with my furry friends - Beanielou - Bruno a labradoodle thinks it’s great fun coming up from behind and pushing his way through my legs, :eek::rotfl: how I keep upright I don’t know - he’s so lovable though i can’t be cross with him.

    Tonight was date night, we went to see Oscar Wilde’s play a woman of no importance at the cinema, filmed last year in the west end. I sneaked in home made pop corn. My jaw dropped when they wanted 2.99 for a regular tea ( no I didn’t ). Needed it though because the dinema kept chucking out cold air.

    Play was excellent then we went to N@ndos and I had looked up everything before to pick SW wisely, and had no alcohol :eek:

    Now in bed with my mothers shawl wrapped round me socks on , waiting for tea and a hot water bottle.... at 49 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Night Night

    Dear Diary and friends

    Not sure why I stopped posting.... again, I think life just got to me and as my dear friend Beanielou says kept plodding on.

    However I am hoping life is getting brighter with new challenges ahead, I’ve missed my VF and want to really focus on trying to become DF in a positive way.

    Really would like to have a day off at home but not to be........ so a short post and will report back later

    Today

    1. Off the the local community day centre where I have just started a small book keeping role ( 8hrs a week) it’s for the local dementia charity :T

    2. Going to a meeting with a staff member at a college I am attending in the autumn to talk disability support .... more of that later.

    3. Meeting the carpenter at the arts centre where he has been building shelves for a big props project in the loft. Hand back keys etc.

    4. Meeting at a friends house this evening to begin to talk about the Christmas Day lunch. :eek:

    It’s going to be one of those days ........

    Will hopefully check in later.

    Dear Diary

    Thank you Beanielou for stopping by.....

    I know Christmas :eek: but when you sit 75 down to lunch there is a lot to do.

    Recap from yesterday part 1

    1. Bookkeeping role. It was good to go in and I mastered another bit of the system and that felt good. The ladies are work with are lovely and despite being paid less than my usual rate, just having the ability to talk girlie / woman’s things through with is great for my wellbeing. Because stuff that I do with church and we hold the community Christmas Day in the centre I know a lot of people there which also has a feel good factor.

    Action: I need to create and send my first invoice to them.

    Also on a side note I have been asked to help with the once a month carers group and be paid for it. :) Going to their social on Monday - breakfast in the local garden centre and then start properly in October

    All in all will be about £425 a month into the coffers :T:T

    Going to reply as need to sort something with beloved aged cat ...back later
