  • Friday, was spendy, got a flat tyre £50 to sort out. New car seat for DGD £60 .

    A good weekend apart from the weather. Today I have been to training about gambling awareness , very informative and interesting.
    Met dad at hospital near me for his appt late afternoon , mum had made my tea so I have just arrived home having been fed and watered .

    Pleased gdd enjoyed her birthday and you got away fairly lightly with your MOT.
    I thought I might need a new car seat when mine visited last week but thankfully we got away with it this time but we will need one in the next year or so.

  • Quick check in, lots going on in RL at the minute , mostly not nice stuff but needs to be done. Things are ticking over with money , haven't been out once this pay month so money going towards spends for holiday.

    Went to the cenotaph on Sunday with locals and attended church service after . Christmas light switch on 2nd December in local community as well.

    Gk's are keeping me busy , love having GD on Friday she is really good company now. Life gets busy with Xmas stuff from this weekend , annual visit to markets , not that we ever spend any money , just like the atmosphere .

    Visitors in 3 weeks, away next weekend in Lake District, and Spain on the 8th Dec , plus my birthday before Xmas.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.
