Good you managed to get out yesterday. 

thank you , it really did me good - once i got my head round that i needed to make a choice and go with it rather then dithering about it

well something i have eaten has certainly re triggered my poorly belly

its either sandwich pickle which i now know is off limits on low fodmap or i've accidently consumed red onion which i thought id taken out of last nights salad

not sure which but both are two of my favorite things...........................

was totting up debts earlier , I think i'll be debt free by january 

i have 2 payments of 215 to make on the car and 1150 on the 0% card , If I pay 300 in November and December and then send what I would have paid to the car along with another 300 then I'll be £35 short which surely I can find.

Sounds like a plan. I'm sure you can do it. 

Well done you on accepting the tickets and having such a good time. You're such a fun loving person. Your relentless will to be happy is inspiring. 

And well done on sticking up for yourself. Its right that you need help on working days. I also think you made the right call about the fall. I don't expect they'd do much more in hospital than keep an eye and give her painkillers. You can keep a closer eye and support her more. Xxx

interesting call from my boss this morning 

seems we have been reinstated on a bonus scheme at work which I have been pushing for for 5 odd years , so this months wage will have a bonus and then there will be one every quarter , I'm not sure exactly how much but it should be around the same as my annual one which was £500 - very nice this close to xmas with the car service also due to be paid it should also cover that  and equally nice that there will be another in January.this debt will be gone by January !! 

He also said that everybody is back in the office on a rota system but he has no intention of asking me to be on the rota , if he is challenged by hierarchy then potentially i may have to show my face here or there but it is not something he is wanting to implicate. my supervisor is back from 1st november , she wont be pleased as she has to commute on the train and has loved saving her train fares.

I have had to jiggle my annual leave about to help him out with various things , well not so much had too but since I can't go anywhere and it has to be used by the end of the year it really doesn't matter where I use it so since I appreicate his support of my WFH I felt it only right I give a little back 

Went over to NM last night , just had dinner and watched a bit of tv and relaxed , I now need fuel which I hoped I would escape until payday but no so luck , WIll fill up just as it lasts a month usually , also need to try and get the car cleaned , I have tomorrow afternoon and thurs morning off so I may do it then when its less busy where I use.

mum didnt knock her head and had no bruising except a small one on her elbow , if i'd have called someone it would have been x rays etc and since there was no evidence of any damage it didnt seem needed

shes been told off this morning for going walk about without the frame again , shes becoming increasingly confused and needs supervision now really

today so far is a good day 
just had a call and my MRI scan is now booked for the 12th november
they could have offered me tomorrow ! but cant do that one
Potentially could have been sooner but could really do with an evening appt as it works better getting mum sorted out

Bonus hit and a bit of a disapointment although grateful that is was a bit lower then anticipated but as they say , every little helps.
I'm going to pay the car service from my EF and hopefully the bonus money will straighten things out a bit 

Went to the football last night , proper match evening and ended up spending more then anticipated , drinks , food , train fares .....................when you go with adults you tend to get carried away

today had the awful news that my uncle has passed with covid , mid 60's - he has been our go to support when my sister has been working and i need cover for mum ,hes popped in every few days , thought it was weird that we hadnt seen him recently and my cousin broke the news to me this morning that he has been a bit under the weather with covid and passed away in his sleep at home , his wife also got  it and is in a coma in ICU
so so shocked , and praying my auntie recovers and my poor cousin doesn't lose both her parents in one hit 
My cousin asked me to let the family know so have been doing so , they all took the call expecting it to be bad news about my mum , no one was expecting this
It really has been a terrible year
