My journey to a debt free life

OBL I have some lovely memories of holidays in Exmouth when the children were younger. I remember going on a boat ride along the river…….further than they usually did apparently because it was a spring tide. There was a terrific grinding noise as the boat hit the riverbed……I’ve got a cracking picture of the horror in ds face 😂😂😂😂. We had to sit in the boat until the tide came in a little more to float the boat. And buying an ice cream called a time bomb with liquorice and sherbet on(this was before fancy ice creams were commonplace) we were talking about that a while back. Ds still uses a key ring he bought when he was about 12 or 13 from the quayside at Exeter of a spider made from nuts and bolts and he’s 43 now 😳. You are lucky living is such a beautiful place. We often stayed en route to Cornwall on a farm caravan site….sometimes a week in Cornwall and a week near  Exeter as it was a lot cheaper in the caravan.

I think the boat trips are still going 😀 I do consider myself very lucky to live here,I came down here from Derby when I was 11years old and wouldn't want to go back there now 😊

You lot have led me astray today because I've just ordered myself that advent house 🙀😀 Im not looking at anything else now 

I went to my mums yesterday and she liked her presents I only stayed an hour because she wasn't feeling too good. Mum and Dad both had their covid booster and flu jab on the Saturday and I think it's too much for some people,Dad said he felt fine but my mum felt really poorly 😟
I didn't feel too good either yesterday so I went to bed when I got back. I got up at 5.30 and made a cottage pie for my tea so that's me sorted for the next couple of days. We also sat down and watched Bake off  then I went back to bed again.

B did a wee on DDs duvet last night. I'm not sure why she did it because she had not long been out for a walk,I will have to keep an eye on her. Luckily it hadn't gone through to the sheets or mattress and I have have a spare duvet for DD to use, it's only a single one but will do for a couple of nights. I chanced washing the duvet in my machine which was risky because it only just fits in there.Last time I tried it with a cheaper one it ripped it to shreds, this time I put it in in the duvet cover and it came out lovely and clean, it's currently hanging over the stairs with the dehumidifier on laundry setting to get it dry again 🙄

Ive also got to take the cat to the vet at 3pm to get them to look at his injured paw. I can't remember if I posted but we discovered one of his claws had grown over and had gone into his pad on his toe . I try to cut his claws quite regularly but must have missed one 😢any way I managed to cut it and pull it out but I need them to check it's not infected, it looked ok when I pulled it out but has now scabbed over so I can't tell. He is awful for having his claws done and will scratch and bite so now this has happened he won't let me near it. I normally wear a coat with thick sleeves and two pairs of gardening gloves to do his claws 🙀

All good news at the vets,his foot is healing as it should so no need to worry and they didn't charge me either 🎉🎉all their computers were down so they couldn't access anything ,she said she didn't know how much it should cost so wouldn't bother charging me 😀

I've had a busy and productive day today. The floors have been hoovered and washed,I've polished the living room and cleaned out the 🐓🐓and I've done three loads of washing, Im now waiting for my programme to start ( Hollington Drive ) 

Tomorrow I'm working a 9-5 then off again on Friday. I will be going into town on Friday for food shopping as I am running low on lunch things

What a productive day, and what a nice vet!

Lovely vet 👍 I remember clipping our dogs claws but never remember doing our cat. I can imagine you in a coat and gloves trying to do the deed.
You managed a lot yesterday 👍 hopefully today will go quickly and you can enjoy your day tomorrow.

Yes she was 😊

It's because they don't go outside much to wear them down. I've only had to to do it since they've got old,when they were young they were out all the time so wore them down, now they spent most of their time asleep so don't wear them down at all

Had my flu jab at work on Thursday and have been really ill today. I didn't feel great yesterday but still managed to do my shopping. I was feeling a bit odd when I went to bed but woke up this morning feeling like I had been run over by a truck,I had to take the day off work which is very unfortunate and I've spent the day in bed. I got up at 6pm and now feel almost back to normal, I've never had such a bad reaction to a flu jab before,I hope I'm ok when I have my covid booster because I don't want to take anymore time off work. 
I obviously haven't got anything done today apart from sleeping 😟

Cherryfudge

I wonder if the current flu jab is for a very different strain or something? Sorry to hear you've felt so bad from it. I suppose one day is better than however long flu might take but you could really have done without it.

Hope you can sleep tonight, are you working tomorrow?

@milann felt rough after her flu jab too. I’m dreading having mine on Saturday now. 

I hope you feel better today.
