Hi Sun Addict,
Just wanted to de lurk and say what an amazing person you are. I have read both your diaries over the last few weeks and like all your 'friends' on here I am in awe of you. You work full time, run a house, look after you DH and DD plus always on top of your finances and still eat healthy and exercise too. You are superwomen.
I am a little addicted to the diaries on here and yours is very entertaining and i look forward to reading your updates.
Hope you have recovered from the weekend and still have a little wine left for your night time bath. I too love my night time bath but our plug thing is currently broken and DH has not made it to the DIY shop yet!
Take care

PS It took me a while to work out what AFD stood for I had a completely different meaning in my head xx0 -
I hope you caught up on your sleep on Sunday night SA.
Another shed is an excellent idea for the under stairs possessions, and then if you could afford it a walk in shower under the stairs for Mr SA could be a blessing. At night maybe you could put a bed in the bathroom for SA if he won't wear incontinence pants

Hope you had a decent nights sleep and are feeling a bit more positve. XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Thank you all for your comments and hello to the de-lurkers
That's Monday done. Finished work early today, I couldn't concentrate properly I was so tired. Had a decent night's sleep apart from having to let the dog out at 1am. Mr SA phoned me 7 times this morning which didn't help with the concentration.
Before I went home I had an hour's potter round the shops in town. Didn't buy anything just browsing. Unbelievably just as I was thinking how nice it was not to have to rush and enjoying my browse, Mr SA phoned me. I ignored it this time. However, on the way home he phoned again twice, he didn't know I'd left work early. I was a bit short with him as it was wearing me down. He then rang back and asked if he'd done anything to upset me!!! Where did he want me to start!!
New budget starts today, another attempt at trying to stick to it, determined to keep track. The same with WW, I'm filling in my online tracker again. I think the two things go hand in hand really.
Will be having another early night tonight plus it's an AFD.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
