My journey to a debt free life

How naughty of your friend! But some people just love giving, and I assume having lost a sister, that is someone she can't buy for and see enjoying the gift, so maybe she is using you to fulfil that void (if that makes any kind of sense?) I wouldn't buy anything for her, you made a deal, but would graciously receive a gift from someone who obviously wanted to see me smile.Debt free Feb 2021 🎉2

Ooh my mum always used to buy cherry liqueurs at Christmas, from what I remember they were lovely 😊
I’m glad your dad now has a diagnosis even if it’s not exactly good news, I’m pleased your sister was proved wrong.I did a dementia awareness course at work and as part of it we were shown a short film from You Tube which was lovely and showed you can still go about your daily business with it. If I can find it, I’ll post the link.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
I picked a bad day to go back to work 🥴 it was soooooooo busy we didn't stop, I was very relieved when 2pm arrived. Walked into town and managed to get all my shopping apart from the Elizabeth Shaw mints 😬
I came home had my tea walked B and collapsed in a heap. My left leg is throbbing and cold so not a good end to the day. I'm hoping it will be ok tomorrow 🤞hopefully I will sleep tonightOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1202 -

It sounds a bit mad that I'm pleased my dads been diagnosed but it's good to know what you are dealing with and now we can all behave accordingly.
I went on a Dementia awareness course but it was years ago so I could do with doing another one really. Yes please a link would be great if you do manage to find it 😊Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1200 -

I found the Alzheimer's site useful even for people with non-Alzheimer's dementia.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1201 -

Well done for sticking to the rules of ‘no presents’
Hope you enjoy work 👍Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1200 -

Today's planned day out has been postponed until Saturday because DD2 is still not feeling well, she looks and sounds awful so I don't think she should be going anywhere, I told her that a couple days relaxing are what she needs and then maybe by Saturday she might feel a bit better 😊 there's nothing worse than being dragged out somewhere when you feel ill.
We were going to our local garden Center to have a look around, it's so pretty at this time of year and I like to go and look at the decorations. It will still be there on Saturday though so we will wait.
I haven't achieved much today so far apart from walking B and chucking in a load of washing so I need to get myself moving at some point, ifnothing else it will warm me up because I'm cold today 😟 I've got a T-shirt on and two jumpers plus a blanket and I'm just starting to warm up a bit now but my hands are cold 😟I might have to put my fingerless gloves on at this rate 🥶🥶
I also need to go out and sort out the 🐓but it's so cold I'm going to have to give myself a stern talking to to make myself go out there 😀her water might be frozen though so needs must.
