    came back from lift for sister, bit depressed. All so sad.

    Checked banks, forgot Mum was paying for half the concrete(!) so have 250 pounds to last me. Other wise it would have been 50 quid.

    BUT

    Have run up a 347 pound credit card bill from the summer - paid off 800 last month! WHAT THE HOLY !!!! AM I SPENDING ON THERE???

    Will have to have an investigation....

    Or you lot will have to make an intervention.

    Dog wants a cuddle! Catch you all tomorrow XXX

    Take the credit card details off of Amazon and pop the card in the freezer in a pot of water!!! You need to stop using it full stop.

    Keep a note of what you spend. If you don't it's easy to lose track and then wonder where it came from. It's happened to me - you think what, how - then go through the bill and think oh yeah I remember that. I try to clear my card every Sunday to keep on track - I've got an app which makes it easier.

    I shall look at the CC statement......I hate being without a credit card
    but equally I am relying on it a bit too much.
    I am contemplating booking some nights up North in Half term. To look for a house.

    Or at least check out the lay of the land. Currently am watching Blade Runner 2049, not as good as the first one but good. Clever.

    However I need a wee!!

    But the film is almost finished. *whimpers*

    I should be outside making the aviary.

    However I made mum and I a big breakfast.......croissant, scrambled eggs and mushrooms.

    Yum.

    I will shift once I feel less stuffed.
