    Poor OH he is in a world of pain this morning!

    Didn’t end up being a NSD, ended up having to pay £18.50 for dinner but, it should have been nearer £35. But because I signed up for deliveroo and searched for discounts I saved so much money so super pleased about that!

    got to drive home today. Hope you’re all ok. Will update more later x

    Thanks @jwil we’re just in for a check up and we’ll see how he gets on. 

    Had an awful nights sleep and now have a 3+ hour drive in the snow. In desperate need of coffee but the clinic hasn’t got a coffee machine! Pret is 3 mins walk away and I’m going to have to get some. I’m just so tired and I really don’t want to stop once we start our journey. 

    Need to sit down and look at budgets and money and grants this weekend. Have little else to do all weekend what with the snow and OH. Some programming and messages to do tomororw but that’s it. Need to go shopping at some point though! Wondering how long I can eak what we have out...... could make tuna pasta. Hmmmm no mayonnaise, erm chicken tomato pasta I think. Def need bread and milk though. Will get those on the way home.



  • Hope your OH soon recovers & the surgery worked this time. Get yourself home & get some rest. Maybe a glass of wine or a bit of chocolate with the milk & bread wouldn’t go amiss 😉

    Managed to find some coffee.....OH paid! SIL has got bread and milk, which helps! Looking forward to chilling tonight. Need to get some washing done though! Actually thinking about it, need some washing powder! Hopefully snow will have cleared a bit for a shopping trip tomorrow!

  • Ooh I love a good coffee 🙂
    That’s nice of the SIL, just grab a bit of washing powder & take some time out for you to chill a bit before your busy week commences. Hope the OH soon perks up too x

    What on earth is he doing that needs him to be away for 21 days?!
    Bottom line; 
    £49k paid off 
    Car HP paid off
    Debt Free!
    Saved Escape fund and moved out. 

    Current focus; saving Emergency fund

    He works off shore Kakiste. May was poorly when I got home, she was super tired, kept crying  and started retching but she’s fine now. Think she was just tired and overwhelmed and her auntie had her running around keeping her busy, Roo was fine. And May seems fine today. 

    OH is in bed and will no doubt stay there most of the day. 

    Ok, I’m going to write a list for today. 
    Washing
    walk
    List 5 things on ebay
    list 5 things on FB
    Program for tomorrow 
    bath children 
    Get lunch boxes
    Litter tray
    make Sunday lunch
    workout?
    dishwasher
    look at course

    probably lots of other things but that for now.
