I have a smart meter this time so don't have to try and get a meter reading in. But I am going to be using the tumble dryer later to get the washing mountain under control, before the rate rise tomorrow!
I would read it anyway just to make sure they do get it right. Either that or go online & check that the reading has actually happened.

Lovely photo 😂😂not much room left for you on the settee though 😂😂
I can fully understand your dd feeling down by the shambles of the mortgage rates. Not sure how or when but things will turn around again.
Im pleased the doctor at work noticed that you were struggling - even if you didn’t act on being told to go home….it showed someone cared 👍
Hope you get answers soon and hopefully a solution to improve things.January spends - £587.584 -

The doctor who saw me is lovely and is not the only one who has commented. I'm hoping I will get some answers soon but haven't heard anything yet 😟

Went into town today with DD2 who treated me to coffee and the most beautiful doughnut in the world, it was Apple, toffee and miso flavoured and tasted sooooo good 😍😍
We had a wander round and went to the library as well. I bought a couple of cheap throws to protect the sofas from the pets,I have four but I like to wash them every couple of days so needed two more to keep up,they do dry overnight but I don't want to have any days where there's no cover on the sofa. I do wash the sofa covers but they take a while to dry if the heatings not on or it's not sunny and warm so throws mean I don't have to wash the covers too often.
Tomorrow I'm working a late so I'm off to bed in a bit. I don't like lates but it does mean I don't have to get up early and I can get a bus instead of walking which would be a struggle at the momentOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -

Hi everyone just popping in to say hello😊 I've no been at work for the last two days and I'm not working tomorrow due to being in too much pain 😟 I am going to try and get another doctors appointment on Monday to see if they can offer me any different painkillers. I have had some blood test results back that show my inflammation makers have gone up even more so something is going on ,the good news is my Rheumatoid arthritis test was negative 🎉🎉it can be unreliable but I'm taking that as good news. I still
haven't heard about the xrays though 🤷♀️
I was supposed to be going out for lunch today ( day off) but didn't feel like it so I stayed at home and made some Hobnobs,they turned out really well . I also did some more knitting which is coming along very slowly, apart from that I haven't really done a lot and all my jobs are on hold until I get better which will hopefully be soonOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -
I'm sorry to hear you're suffering so much.
I hope they can give you something that helps with the pain. Is a pain clinic an option? It's good that you have a negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis: even if it's not 1000% reliable, it must be reliable enough for them to use it, if you see what I mean.
Good luck with the jumper: my knitting has ground to a halt.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
