  • oh and I forgot , a small win yesterday.
    Obviously with Boris extension theres not a lot going on however when we were out on sunday we were told of a xmas party boat a few days after NM b'day in December , it was advertised on social media yesterday at £25 each per ticket.
    I contacted one of the promoters as I intended to buy the tickets for NM birthday as something to look forward too however shortly after my message , the head honcho called him and told him that mine and his tickets were sorted and that they were free of charge , I was quite prepared to pay but its lovely that we don't have too and I guess another reflection of how well respected he is by the people in our social community.
  • Well again what a day
    Mum had ants in her pants most of the morning and once my sister left another anxiety attack started , insisting she couldn't breath etc , wouldn't settle , up and down like a yo yo and most of my afternoon spent trying to pacify her and get a district nurse round , also had to converse with doctor so not much work has been done.
    Once the anxiety meds worth she hasn't stopped sleeping but they take about 2 hours to kick in !!!! 
    I've now got a tension headache and shes snoring soundly , im not catching up with work now my head is scrambled.
    Whilst she was sleeping i did mange to get out for a quick 10 minute sunbed 7 pounds and I'm not starting to get a bit of a golden glow.
    Hoping tomorrow is a better day 
  • Although mum settled last night and slept continually it was not a great evening as NM called to say his mum had at the grand old age of 92 passed away in her care home.
    Fortunately he was able to be with her. 

    Today mum is having her hair cut and i was due over to NM's , more for a shower then anything else but not sure now if he will be there 
  • Managed to see NM for an hour or so ,  gave him a cuddle and just listened , he says he is ok but he really is not , he adored his mum and hasn't suffered a loss really before so its a new journey navigating the loss of his mum.
    He went with his daughters last night to see his grandson as it was his birthday , best therapy he could get as his daughters are beautiful souls.
    I had a £5 spend on a bottle of white , just felt needed. 
    Mum got her haircut and had quite a good day yesterday , my sister has done her nails - the little things we can do to improve how she feels.

    Woke up really early this morning , mums already had breakfast , I need some myself.
    No spends planned today , hoping that mum has a good enough day for me to be able to go over to NM and watch the game tonight. 
  • Signs are good to shoot over to NM's later on once mum settles for the night.
    Debating whether I should take a small bottle of JD to have a toast to his beloved mum , if it was a female friend I'd take flowers , it feels a nice things to do but once again its another spend...........................opinions please?

    My belly is having a party today , dont know what I've eaten that it doesn't like but its making it known with the pain levels

    Sorry about NMs mum. It’s always a shock no matter how old they are.
    I think the jd is a nice idea 🌸
    I’m glad your mum had a good day.

    Even a few of the premixed cans if that works out cheaper?

    good shout ! he isn't a big drinker
  • So I went for the bottle as the tins were only 5% 
    NM and I went to our nearby Market yesterday whilst my sister was here.  I with held the urge to spend , lack of holidays means lack of summer wear ( have de luttered this section of the wardrobe a bit too much ) but now the suns gone i don't need them- I'm regretting not buying a couple of two set short sets i saw. They were nice for casual or pub lunches ....... may go back after pay day but for now I'm saved !! 
    I've had to buy a new vape today as mine refuses to let the tank screw in properly ....... another reminder this habit needs to go.
    Filled the car yesterday ad the small top up didnt cut it........ 70 !!!!!! pounds , im pretty much spent out now until payday.
    I have this urge to buy , keep thinking of things id like ......... need to stop this as this month the only place its going is the card !!
