    This morning we have had our daily exercise and I have taken the dog for a short walk, Mr D will take her out for another short walk this evening.
    There is a small joint of ham cooking and will be used for ham salad this evening, ham, egg & chip tomorrow evening and I am going to make a few portions of pea and ham soup for the freezer also made a rhubarb crumble, the rhubarb has gone wild the last few days with the nice weather we have been having.
    I have just signed up for MSE's Academy of Money so I am going to spend the afternoon complete the first part of the course.

    Today did not start very well, got out of bed this morning and had a very bad dizzy spell. So back into bed I went and stayed there most of the morning. Currently sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea curtesy of Mr D. He has been a star today! he has gone to the supermarket and picked up fresh bit the last until the end of next week along with washing powder and dog food. Total spend was £30.00. He is now in the garden making a stand out of wood we had in the garage for out herb pots.:) 

    Resisted the temptation to google dizzy spells as I know this will stress me out, if things haven improved after the bank holiday I will ring my GP for advise. So not a lot has been achieved here today, hopefully an improvement tomorrow.
    I did complete the first part of the MSE's Academy of Money course, I found the content extremely interesting and looking forward to completing more but that is not going to be today.

    Hi Doris, loving your diary so far. I've signed up for the MSE course too, though I plan to do it next month as I have some other things to do first. How are you finding it so far?

    @DarknessIntoPower I am enjoying the course so far, there are video clips and audio clips which I like because you are not reading through loads of written text. There is also a quiz half way through and at the end of the session to clarify your understanding.

    Felt better when I woke up this morning, so I have been more productive. Washing machine is on going its thing, bathroom has been wiped over and the toilet cleaned. Was looking forward to a long walk this morning however the weather here is awful, hopefully will clear up a bit later so we can get a short walk in with the dog, she refuses to go out in the rain.

    Hi Doris - I've found your diary and subscribed  Best of luck on your debt journey. Good move on keeping a track of your expenses as this key, along with a budget. 

    I've joined the Academy of Money too. I finished Session 1 - a lot of us on these boards will be familiar with the concepts but I still think it is an interesting to do. 

    Glad to hear you feel better today. No rain here at the moment, but it's overcast and certainly windy!

    @Seasidegal58 thank you for stopping by and subscribing. 
    We manage a walk in between the rain and the windy was very strong. Academy of Money has come along at the right time for me I think, to give me the push I needed!
