Well done on opening a help to buy account, ditty.


Toni's friend - a very nice surprise for you! How is sil?

Mothernerd, hope you can sleep tonight.


Today I am grateful for not getting too soggy, for my y11s getting through their mock speaking tests with gusto, for helpful colleagues, for dd having a decent day, for more WSM, for 85% choc, for egg and chips for tea.

Evening all, couldn't update yesterday, worked late and then out for dinner with OH's family - managed a NSD though as they paid. Today I spent as I'd run out of fruit and veg and wanted a couple of bananas as snacks at work. Shopping being delivered tomorrow. I also ordered our Xmas food today as well, veggie for me and a fancy stew and dumplings for OH. Will get all the trimmings another day. I can't really buy a joint of meat as it's only OH who eats it!

Also got a delivery from whogivesa!!!!, it was a free trial, I got 3 rolls of toilet paper, kitchen roll and a box of tissues and only had to pay £3 postage. Have decided to sign up, it's a bit more expensive than normal toilet roll but more environmentally friendly.

Also had my final PT session today. Gutted to be finishing with her but I've achieved what I wanted which was to be pain free, I just need to carry on with everything she's taught me.

Haven't done gratitudes for a while so I'm grateful for:
- Having an amazing PT who's made a huge difference to my quality of life
- Free toilet roll
- For being able to have a lie in tomorrow morning!

Hi everyone,

NSD today so I'm now on 13/15.
Budget is still on plan, I actually have about £100 left from last month to cover til the end of this week! just hoping for no nasty surprises.
Today was a no-packed lunch day - tomorrow will be!
Grateful for: no-one stealing my parcel after the postie left it on the doorstep; a productive day at work; free cuppa from the boss.

I'm still away from home, so not really doing much during catsitting duties but I'm very grateful for re-building a very old friendship, despite how different our lives have looked at different times.

How is sil?

Apple - Until yesterday I would have said OK but I got a phone call from my nephew last night saying a friend had been to see her and called him because she was a bit concerned about her. He drove right over, called an ambulance and she's now back in hospital. He and I both think she was discharged way too early. But, to be fair to the hospital we think she was so very determined to get back home that she exaggerated just how well she was feeling and exactly what support she had at home. It is a worry. I could hear the stress in my nephew's voice last night and I'm going on holiday on Saturday. Just have to cross our fingers and hope it all works out. Thank you for asking. It's very kind of you to be concerned.

Congratulations! Xspender (in my best Shirley Bassey voice):rotfl:

Still coughing a bit. Not enough to stop me going volunteering. If I am drinking I am not coughing. So I am drinking. Therefore....Spirits are still high.

Payday tomorrow!

Grateful for:
Still having a quarter tank of petrol, thus not having to buy any more petrol from the November budget.
Being prepared to steamroller a frog-ephant tomorrow if it is not resolved today.

Being in love :happyhear with a man who thinks I am a nut. Well, really he knows I am a nut, but he does not mind. One terribly serious grown up in the house is enough.

Calling - that sounds like a dramatic exit, I do hope no one was flooded. BTW the curry was lovely, I roasted the squash the day before and then added it at the end of cooking the curry, it was in quite large chunks and I also added spinach.


apple - DH has been watching WSM, I had to yell at him to turn it off yesterday, it is terrifying. There was a guy chucking beer kegs backwards into the air over a banner and I was totally stressed that he would be killed - it is like the land that H&S forgot.


lcc86 - I was looking at the loo roll on a website the other day, I do wonder though why the supermarkets can't just wrap their own in paper.


Toni'sFriend - I would be the same as your sil, it did seem quick to be coming home after that type of surgery. Hope she is ok.
