    Dropped the dogs off for the groomers at 9, did my walk, got breakfast for Mum and I, waiting to collect the dogs. They cost 76 pounds, so that plus yesterday's shopping gives a hefty CC bill already. 
    I am a bit annoyed with myself. But it is done now. I will borrow from the general savings pot (currently 800) for the vets, as that is what it is there for. Mum will pay me half the grooming. Lunch will be slimfast! since I have the milk and the powder and some snacks - I know it isn't great but work is mental and a proper lunch slows me done. I am the opposite of a foodie. 
    I have a tonne of work to do XXXXX

    Trouble is it just doesn't feel like it. I know things are slowly incrementally getting better. Mum doesn't see it and actually doesn't care. I am doing it all for me, which feels selfish but what else can I do? 
    Thanks tho XXX

    I make a big batch of soup on a Sunday for work lunches, pack lots of veg in it. It’s something quick and healthy. You need to look after yourself to carry on looking after everyone else so you’re not being selfish.

    Gardener is back this Friday, Mum isn't happy with him I don't think but I can't be doing with any of it. The old gardener was rubbish but because he cut the grass that was it. She can't actually see the weeds and only worries that people think the front garden is neglected which it is. But it can't all be done at once. And it is a massive garden. 
    I got really depressed yesterday, as it is clear mum can't manage much any more. I am pinning a lot of hope on the dentist helping her today. Also looked at houses in the area, a few with 3 at the start of the price, normally it is 4, now I know that they won't sell for 3XXXXX but it is encouraging that they need to put such a low price to start off. 
    Any how proper write up later - short version a 316 quid CC bill XX

    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • The dentist can help mum, which is promising but not for a few weeks. She is really sad tho. Has to lose some teeth. 
    I am continuing to plan on moving the small furries outside. I have two hutches for them and have got the extra panels. Just need it not to be insanely hot for a while so I can build everything. This weekend it is meant to be 27. 
    Got to be honest. Am really hating my life right now. It will be ok eventually just not this week!! 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
