  • Thanks DR, it really was a lovely day.

    Sadly the line dried bedding didn't have the desired effect as I had an awful night last night, barely slept for no obvious reason and nothing I tried got me to drop off until about 4am. DH had to leave for work at 6am this morning so I came downstairs at 1am to avoid disturbing him. Thankfully a day off today so have been able to take it easy and squeeze in a nap, still ready for my bed though, will be an early one tonight.

    Still managed to be fairly productive. Got a few more items listed on V!nted, sold another item so got that packed up & dropped off, picked up DH's prescription & took Mum for her shopping in between school drop offs and pick ups for the boys. Cooked a lovely curry for tea.

    Back to work tomorrow and it's also my pay day tomorrow - which will be mainly used for general spends for the rest of this month as well as topping up savings.

    Finally some money has cleared from V too, so £7 added to the daily £2 PAD.

    Today's PAD £9

    Debt Total £3375 (BCard £675)
