2018 Benbenandme's Next Battle

benbenandme

So, ds has caught his train, I have come back and blitzed the downstairs housework so it is all now clean and sparkly. Upstairs is tidy, just needs a quick clean.

The plan for tomorrow is an early morning walk, maybe combining some job spotting to get my steps in nice and early. I then need to do a food shop and some ironing and wait for ds to come home in the afternoon.

Tonights plans involve a hot bath, reading my new book and sorting the end of the month banking. I will be getting into bed after my bath, a nice chilled evening My new book is one about growing your own veg. I feel retirement coming on already :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hope you are not with TBb.

I do have an account with them beanie but I didn't seem to be affected by all the problems with them

So I got up quite early this morning and went for a walk, and my phone died after a few minutes so couldn't job spot or listen to music I didn't walk far as I get bored without my music on, so I'm back home charging it and will try again a bit later. I have got nearly 4,000 steps out the way already though. I'm going to go and hit the supermarket in a bit and get that job out the way, then I can come home and relax a bit.

The bathroom needs a clean but the rest of the house is up to date now.

Banking all done and sorted for the new month, £5 claimed from Swagbucks and £10 claimed from prolific.

I've decided for this month I'm going to calim paypal rewards from Swagbucks rather than Amazon, it does cost a few more sb's but I want to see the instant cash for a bit instead of waiting to spend it in Amazon

£3 interest in one of my accounts, all helps!
Yesterday ds announced he wanted to take me and Mum for dinner as he's never bought anyone dinner before ... we got a McDonalds and sat at the beach together with it. One of my happiest memories in years I felt so so so proud of him, he really does have his moments and can be such hard work at times, but little bits like that mean the world to me :T :T

That is just awesome.
What a lovely memory to treasure.

Morning all, it's been a funny week, work has been crazy as usual and then yesterday I woke up at 4am as I had been grinding my teeth in my sleep, (when I'm stressed), and a canine tooth has snapped in half :eek: :eek: I rang the dentist yesterday and they can't see me til the 17th Luckily it's not really noticeable unless you're very close, but it's gonna cost me :cool:

So, today I'm up early, (forgot to turn the alarm off last night), I've stripped my bed and that's doing it's thing in the washing machine currently. The dishwasher is loaded and on, everywhere is pretty tidy just needs a good clean. Ds is off to his Dads in about 1.5 hours, then today will be spent cleaning, gardening and generally pottering this morning followed by an afternoon of footie. Tomorrow I need to drive Mum to her friends (3 hour round trip) then ds will be back mid-afternoon, then ds and I are going to see a tribute band in the evening. Monday ds is working so will probably be more gardening etc for me

Morning

I had a tooth snap a few years ago. The dentist filled it and kept it going until last month when I finally had it taken out cause it was getting infected and painful. I have an NHS dentist so only £35. It was quite an experience though!

Your day sounds like mine. My dd is at work today and I have the land lord over at 10am so I'm pottering, given I didn't get a lie in.

The sun is out and that's a good start to a day

So ds is off on his train, I've cleaned and hoovered upstairs and cleaned the bathroom. The third load of washing is in, the windows are all wide open, I've met my swagbucks goal for today and all is good

All the bedding is dry already :T I'll iron it later while the footie is on then remake the beds. 5th load of washing is now on (towels) :eek: The weather is so nice it's drying within an hour or so which is fab.

I've cleaned the front door, outside windowsills and the garage door, all long overdue. I then did a fry up for lunch which was lush and am now settling down for an afternoon of footie with some surveys going on at the same time

Later on when it cools down I am going to take the dog for a walk and do some job spotting as I haven't done too much of that recently.
