Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

Both DDs haven't made it into work today due to the snow.  OH has gone into work as we're expecting a delivery.  I'm supposed to have my first PT session this afternoon, will see what the roads are like.  Dog is fine not heard anything about the bloodtest so need to chase that up.

Just chased up the blood tests she's still slightly anaemic but they aren't panicking about it.  Plucked up courage and phoned the credit card company £759.19!!!  Emptied some pots and cleared it.  DD2 owes me quite a bit at the moment but as she won't get paid for a while it'll have to wait on the back burner.

Managed to go and do the food shopping on Saturday, OH drove as I don't do snow.  Slightly more than I wanted to spend but bought quite a bit of meat.  Managed to list some items on ebay that we have left over from the workshop, parts ordered in that weren't needed but won't be a regular listing.  These accumulate over the year and go in the 'box of doom' as we call it.  This year we've only got 4 to work through last year it was 10!
Not been sleeping great, seem to wake up at 3 and can't get back to sleep.  It doesn't help that I'm listening for DD1 to get up and go at 3.30.  
I made a really nice soup for this weeks lunches, everyone is squabbling over it.  Just a bag of frozen petit pois, 2 onions, mint simmered for 20 mins add a knob of butter, seasoning and some parsley, then blitz.  Delicious.  Made a chicken supreme thing for tea which was nicer than it looked.  Got some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Came home and did 10 mins on the exercise bike, think I'll try and do 10 in the morning before I go to work.  All the snow has melted which is a relief but looking at the forecast could be some more towards the end of the week

Soup sounds lovely. I haven't had chicken supreme for years. Hope you sleep better soon. I only get to sleep around 3 or 4am at the moment - not great. Hope your sleep improves soon

Broken sleep is the worst and when you're waking up at 3 its hard because if you're anything like me you then spend ages thinking "if I get to sleep now I have xxx amount of sleep" continually

The chicken supreme wasn't like school dinner chicken supreme IYKWIM but had loads of peppers and courgettes in.  I had it for lunch today and it was even tastier. You hit the nail on the head BD, counting how long I've got before the alarm goes off!  Tonights tea is gammon with leeks in mustard, cauliflower mash, green beans and sweetcorn.  
Spent £106 on the old girls drugs.  This has gone on the cc which I cleared.  There is method in  my madness, honest guv'  I've got a refund coming back from M&S so that will clear it.
I managed 10 mins on the exercise bike before work and 15 when I came home.
