I ordered a small greenhouse from Mr Ws several years ago and they sent me a medium one instead,it was double the size, we only realised when we were trying to put it together because they had sent the instructions for the small one and none of it made sense 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1208

I ordered two tops a couple of weeks ago and received two parcels but was only charged for one. Tried to return them to the company but they said just to keep the duplicate. I don't really need to have duplicates so I'll give them to the Charity Shop. They are actually very nice tops.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.9

I'm also thinking about the possibility of burn-out. I don't want to interfere, but some me-time is essential. You are a living saint but that doesn't mean you should be taken for granted. Whatever form it takes, please carve out some sanity time. Love Humdinger x8 -
The dress has poppers rather than buttons beanie. I wouldn’t pay £49.50 for it although the quality is good and it’s quite stretchy so not stiff denim.I’m going to make sure I get time out from Mr SA, I need it for my sanity. The current situation is making it hard though.Went for a walk after work to get my steps up then did a short yoga session.
The dog has got the vets tomorrow for an annual health check and vaccination. Dreading it, she’ll hate being taken off without me. At least my step count will be good as it’s a 4 mile walk each way. I’ve got a £10 food voucher from M&S needs spending by the end of the week and there’s a Simply Food near the vets so another plus.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
Morning 😎
The dreaded vet visit day has dawned. Will need to leave the house at 9.15 to get there by 10.15, hopefully the actual visit won't take long. Of course Mr SA is insisting on coming too but this will work to my advantage as it means he can look after the dog while I nip in a few shops. I need to pick a few pet bits up from Pets at Home where the vets is situated. Plus I need to nip in M&S to spend the food voucher. Thank goodness for flexible working as it means I can work today's hours around this. I prefer finishing later in the day to be honest.
I'm still doing the Fly Lady cleaning and today's task is the spare room/kids's room so a doddle for me as I only have a spare room, DD takes care of her own room. Not a lot to do as the room needs plastering at some stage, yet another thing on the never-ending house to do list!
Also still doing the Duolingo Spanish but had to break my 120 day streak when I went to Greece. Still enjoying it and doing quite well 😀
Will be glad when today is done.
Have a good one x

The deed is done, vet visit over and done with. Not as bad as I'd feared. The dog trotted off quite happily with the vet without as much as a backward glance. So she's all vaccinated for another year and has 6 months worth of flea/worm treatment.
Spent £17 in M&S food but only cost £7 with the £10 off. I had a free shopping bag on my Sparks card so redeemed that. I've got two more £12 off food vouchers to use but dated mid-October so have a bit of time to spend them. Parked Mr SA and the dog outside Costa with a coffee (free as I had enough points) while I shopped. Picked up some pet bits and bobs from Pets at Home. I would've liked to have gone in B&M but was mindful of the time and getting back to my desk for a lunchtime meeting.
16,000 steps clocked up this morning all done in one go.
I don't have to go into work next week now but am going to tell Mr SA it's next Friday I have to go so this will cover me for going to my friend's house. The plan is to tell I'm working in the morning and meeting her for lunch, there's no need for him to know I'm going to her house. I've booked next Friday off so will have a coffee and a quick look round town before I get the bus to hers.

Your shopping trip sounded a success today. I can picture Mr SA with the dog enjoying a coffee.
Enjoy your Friday 👍January spends - £587.587 -
