    Still 19 days to pay day and things are very tight. Still have a couple more outings to cover tonight and weekend, then holiday to Jersey. The rest of the year will have to be on a shoestring and paying back the extra money I have borrowed.

    Weather looks awful outside hope it perks up for the weekend. Off to see some boys singing at a concert place near me tonight. Should be good I hope.

    Have a good day .

    Enjoy the concert.

    Not long to go until your holiday.

    Don't worry about the rest of the year. Something may come up to help and even if it doesn't you are so good at budgeting.

    Happy weekend

    Yesterday I was fairly busy with stuff at home . Friend came for round and we had some chips from the chippy ! Today is about my dad who recently celebrated a big birthday, his birthday present from me is a trip out. He found out this week his best treatment for his condition is radiotherapy so he is now waiting to see an oncologist. Thursday night went to see Westlife , they have still got it and it was a great concert. I am still deaf in my right ear. Money is being frittered away , so damage limitation is necessary. Off to jersey on Wednesday which is great. However the ongoing stress will still be in my mind. I hope I can shake it off to enjoy my holiday.

    Best get moving , need petrol before day out.

    Dad loved his day out , well worth our hours drive up some very steep roads. The last bend on the journey I had most difficulty with. The views were amazing , the wine tasting and lunch even better. A success all round. The spending wasn't so bad and most had been budgeted for. Work for a l.5 days , then I am off again until the 11th .

    Have got all washing and ironing up to date ready to pack in the next day or so. I am living from the freezer and cupboards until Wednesday morning .

    The only other thing I need to buy is a Father's Day present. Which will be around £20.

    Enjoy what is left of the weekend.
