Morning diary and lovely friends
Thank you for all your lovely messages, made me feel all warm inside.
Yesterday was hard going.... spent in front of a computer screen trying to write my assignment. Hard going and I need to go back to it soon.
News in our house, builders are back to finish the garage, but unlikely will start the porch as he will have to go back and finish his Dads jobs, Dad is out of hospital but obviously can’t work for abit.The dustbin was collected 😁. We have assisted collections and the grumpy ( I heard him) refuse man declined to negotiate scaffolding on Friday, they were back unprompted.Money spent: Donation to a neighbour to the local hospice, we missed the Santa paddle on the river on Sat, she dropped of 6 wines for the community Festive Bags, Godsons birthday card with £25 which is a cost of a driving lesson apparently.I have mislaid my handbag with my purse in it 😳🤔😥 it’s been missing over a week, and it’s got to be somewhere... we hope in the storage unit tomorrow. Mostly it’s my drivers licence that’s the pain. Cards have not been used and I have not been anywhere to leave it !Blessings from yesterday

Sounding good, Bubbles! That will be great to have the garage finished and secure - makes the world of difference to the house
Good luck on that assignment, sounds like tough going, plus finding your handbag - I lost the cable connecting my backup hard drive to my computer in exactly the same way. I was a bit desperate to get it all done, because of having the new computer, so I actually bought a new hard drive

I’ve just read your diary Bubblesmum. What an inspiration both you and your OH are.I hope your handbag has turned up. I feel your pain of having work done on your house. Our builder finished yesterday and I don’t think I’ll ever be straight again 😳🤪😂January spends - £587.584
