Hello :wave:
The drunk me ruined my nsd by being talked into a Chinese takeaway rather than cooking something. Ah well. I had already spent a small amount on a packet of crisps while I was out and about with my mam and sister yesterday afternoon.
The rest of the day went as planned though, bit of crochet, bit of reading, brilliant night with sister and bestie. I am tired this morning but not much planned for today and no work tomorrow either :j I have tutoring this morning for some much needed extra cash but planning a sneaky nap this afternoon
The police have managed to catch up with my ex husband. Apparently he's safe and well - and they were just taking him to be checked over and assessed at hospital to be on the safe side. I have no clue what he'll do next, but he is my ex for a reason. I'm just pleased I can report to the kids that he's ok.
Not much else to report - my head is definitely not going to allow me to do much. :rotfl:Not giving up
Working hard to pay off my debt
Time to take back control

If it makes you feel any better, drunk me ordered a new dehumidifier on Friday night then immediately had to cancel it as I'd ordered the wrong oneLBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.310 -
Morning
Thanks CLF it feels good to start to feel better, it's been rough! Am wondering if I should go back to work early - am currently signed off until 20/5!
I have only just got up! (well about 1/2 hour ago) and feeling dopey at the moment!
Today:
[STRIKE]
* load of washing in. Will put on line when done[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* chicken breasts out of freezer for dinner[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* take pup for 2 x walks[/STRIKE]
* pot on seedlings. Coriander has started to germinate
*[STRIKE] sow some courgette seeds.[/STRIKE] My seedlings haven't liked being put out to harden! Looking not very hopeful now!
* do some sewing. Am going to finish off the top I started when I went to the course last month. I was having an adverse reaction to medication I was given and didn't get the most out of it, but more than that it has dented my confidence. But want to finish this top!
* hw & reading with madam
* read free book
think we are going to start with diying the house. Most rooms need some love. Want to do it on a budget! First thing for today is remove sealant around bath and replace and fix trap on bath.... Next on list is repaint lounge. Am thinking of going to furniture recycling place before going to buy paint as people drop partially used paint tins there. So might get some meaning we can do it on an even smaller budget. But that will have to wait until Tuesday!
Ok that's all for nowHave a lovely day y'all

You know best how you feel but I wouldn't rush back - perhaps give it until the 13th at least?LBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.310 -
