    I've reported it too Beanie.

    That's Monday done.

    Joey Jimbles that is a fantastic idea, thank you :) I think I've got a 100 square grid somewhere from a while ago.

    First day back at work boo :( Really busy catching up with stuff so it flew by. Back in the gym at lunchtime, starting the week as I mean to go on.

    Got £20 in gift vouchers from work from someone I did a favour for. I've got £40 in vouchers now :)

    Checked my wage slip and I got my exceed bonus finally :) Totally ravished by tax and NICS though.

    Took cat back to vets today for post op check up, she's fine and at least I didn't have to pay anything today. Nightmare getting a taxi home though, they kept sending the taxi to the wrong vets despite me giving them distinct directions.

    That's Tuesday done :)

    Holiday tickets email arrived today :)

    Printed off 100 square sheet to help me recoup vet bill :)

    Mr SA hassling me to death about a new shaver :( Not told him about my bonus and don't intend to. It will just go towards doing up the living room.

    One holiday finished, another one in the pipeline, it sounds good to me. Like the idea of 100 squares , but not the actual vet bill.

    Holiday tickets will get you in the mood! Good idea on using the extra cash for the living room and keeping it quiet from Mr SA!:D

    Thursday already!

    I was so cross with Mr SA yesterday as he left the shower in a right mess which I had to clean up at 5am before I could have a shower :( When I mentioned it to him he said I was nagging him! He had a strop on last night and actually had his first alcohol free night in about 5 years! It was lovely for me - no snoring, no constant going to the toilet and no beer fumes! I've told him he must cut down it's upsetting his stomach and bladder.

    Today I was running late coming home from work, I had something to finish. Only 30 minutes later than usual but Mr SA rang because he was worried his dinner would be late!

    Looking forward to tomorrow as I'm wine tasting with my old team after work. Mr SA had the cheek to moan about me spending money! His main concern is what time he'll get his dinner. So annoying. The wine tasting will only cost me £10 as I get the other £10 reimbursed through work! I've never done wine tasting before.

    I'm getting so fed up of not being able to do anything because of him. This isn't a new thing he's never liked me doing anything that doesn't involve him. Yet if I asked him to go wine tasting he'd say no. Very frustrating and very unfair.

    Don't let him stop you doing doings, you deserve to have some fun as you work so hard.
