The weather was awful yesterday, I had to turn round 3 times due to flooding trying to get home. Whilst I was doing my weekly shop, there was a chap in front of me on crutches and also had his arm in plaster. I helped him to unload his basket and when my shopping was through I saw him hobbling across the car park. I asked him if he needed a lift and dropped him off at his house. He said he'd have been waiting for a bus for 50 minutes and his house was 5 minutes away.
The theatre was great, thoroughly enjoyed it. At work at the moment but going home shortly.

Just received my car insurance renewal through and its gone from £300 to £500! Need to shop around. Having another meeting today regarding the new/old job.
Dog is a lot happier after her spay. She's not wearing the pyjamas they sent her home in and is leaving the wound alone.
Decided to go to Skye 28th December for just over a week. Have contacted the joiner about having a couple of jobs quoted for. As he's just had a baby (literally on the way home from hospital when he phoned me) I'll chase him a bit nearer the time.

Yes Skye is still happening. Though with the baby news we did have a wobble. Regarding the job they know they’ve only got me until June. Hopefully DD1 will start in April to start a hand over, she’s coming in for a chat with the boss first week of December. My start date has changed to 5th of December.Forgot to say that the credit card is now paid off. Even though the debt was DDs I overpaid so it would clear before the 0% ran out. She still owes me.Got to get my B12 jab today, then I’ve got the trainer this afternoon. Tomorrow a friend is coming round for coffee and to see the new house.I’ve got a problem with the heating, it’s on 2 different thermostats, one upstairs and one downstairs. The one downstairs is working fine. The upstairs one shows that the temperature is set and is ‘on’ but the radiators aren’t coming on. I’ll probably need to get someone out to it.LTotal Debt Dec 07 £59875.83 Overdrafts £2900,New Debt Figure ZERO !!!!!!:j 08/06/2013

My shoes and boots arrived today. I need to get extra wide ones so I can get my in soles in. The boots are fine and will be staying. I'm sending the shoes back and getting a half size smaller. Training was good today but I think I may have over done it. I go in the sun shower afterwards, it helps with my vitamin D. I'd booked for 9 minutes but only managed 4 as I felt very woozy. I'm ok now.
Meeting the outlaws tomorrow night, going for a meal along with DS1 and GF. Very nervous about it.
