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 x1 -
Hope OH is ok x"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1

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.1

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 😉1

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!
