Hope you enjoyed your meal and had a great night at your friends retirement. 

The walk along the river sounds lovely.

We had a good night thank you,I was disappointed in the food and my cash budget went out the window because they would only let you pay by card. I will be avoiding the place now but the company was good, it was good to see people out of work and we did have a good laugh 😊

So we had a good night out on Friday apart from a lack of vege choices and you had to pay by card 😡, they also messed up the bill and we ended up £28 adrift which we paid but there were 13 of us and they had 13 payments so something had gone wrong somewhere 🤷‍♀️

Saturday morning was spent with DD1 and the DGs , we went to the library for them to take out some books then for coffee and cake in the library cafe. We also had a wander round town and I bought one of DGs 2s birthday presents,I just need to get the other item and that's him done.

After DD1 went home I met DD2 because she wanted to go and pick out a sewing machine, she wants to make her own dresses etc so needed a machine. We went to a local shop and she bought the one she liked, they gave her a demo and the man came and delivered it on his way home from work, she bought a few accessories to go with it and he gave her them for free, excellent customer service from this shop, they also service and repair machines so she can use them for that 

We sat and watched the last two episodes of Stranger Things on Saturday night and it was really good, I'm sad I've finished it now though 😀

Sunday I was working so had to be up early,I walked to work because I refuse to pay for a taxi when I'm only working 8 hours. Work was horrible and I was glad to get home,I had another run in with the band 6 again and I ended up having a go at her because she was being completely unreasonable. I'm going to complain about her next week when I go back because I've had enough of her having a go at me when other people don't do their job properly.

I finished work at 3.30 and was glad to get home because my legs and feet were really painful. I was I agony all evening so took some painkillers and went to bed early ,it kept me awake for quite a lot of the night so I ended up sleeping in this morning.

Today I have been out for dog food and some shopping which was mainly ingredients to make meals rather than main food shopping. I came home and did the chicken clean out and also got some washing done. DD 2 made a lentil Dahl yesterday so I had left overs of that for tea tonight, it was yummy 😊

I don't have to work now until Thursday 🎉🎉🎉Im at home tomorrow but I'm going to DD1s in the evening to babysit.they are going  to see the Stereophonics at the Eden Project so I will be staying overnight because they won't get back until late. DDs mum in law was meant to be babysitting but is ill so can't do it now so they have had to call in the back up granny 😂😂 

Im off to bed soon to rest my poorly legs in the hope they will feel ok tomorrow 🤞🤞

Hi OBL
It's crackers that you didn't get many veggie choices on your meal out!  Loads of people are veggie these days.  I am always quick to order in a restaurant as I'm a veggie who doesn't like mushrooms so that narrows down the options!  
DD2's lentil dahl sounds lovely.
Hope you sleep well and your legs are feeling better tomorrow

Thanks 😊This place used to be quite good but they have changed the menu and it's not so good now, I would have been ok if I liked goats cheese but I can't stand it 😀

That's funny 😀 I haven't looked after them for ages so it will be interesting and I've never looked after both of them overnight 🙀their mum and dad will be home at around midnight  so hopefully I can get the little one to sleep, he is very hard to settle and still sleeps with hi mum so I'm anticipating trouble 😂

Feeling a bit better today after a better nights sleep. Im sitting here nervously watching the sky because it was sunny so I pegged my washing out but it's now gone very cloudy,fingers crossed it doesn't rain 🤞🤞

Im at home all day today until I go out to DD1s so I'm just pottering around. I have so far done some washing,tidied the kitchen and sorted the chickens. I also remembered to order DGs other birthday present and it says it will arrive on Friday, his birthday is on Sunday so I hope it turns up.

I realised this morning that I have already forgotten to count my NSDs for the week just gone so I'm now trying to remember how many I had 🙄

Ive worked out I had two the week before last, two last week and so far none this week, hopefully this will get better as time goes on and I get more organised. Today would have been a NSD but I need to buy a bus ticket to get to DDs 😟

milann

😂😂😂that’s another reason I stopped doing NSDs I kept forgetting whether I’d counted them or not……I just add up my card spends as I go along - I can check online if I forget 👍 and I get cash out at the beginning of each month and save whatever is left afterwards - I’ve just put what I had since January  towards my hotel room in Bath and from next month I’ll put it towards extras at Christmas. I love reading the way everyone has their own way of managing money in the diaries. Think there have been a lot of changes in folks habits thanks to this site 👍
