Must try harder!

We had several in the last year or two as a result of monumental incompetence by a pension company who are by no means prudent.

I don't mind bananas (occasionally) or them yellow puffy banana sweets but banana flavoured or in things like cake is yuck!

Catching up on the diary but got to this and agree!!!! Love the puffy sweets but nothing else.🤮

But am more than happy having a gin tasting evening 👍

Good morning and happy Saturday 🌈🎉📚🍫☕️

I was in the garden at 7.30…it’s very windy out there. MrWW left for work at about 6am ish and dog thought she’d been forgotten and reminded me that daddy hadn’t taken her into the garden by sobbing and whining until I dragged myself up. Hurrah for Saturday lie ins! 

Today I plan to attempt several things. I want to attempt a machine embroidery label…I’ve never dared try the fancy shmancy bit of my machine before. I want to attempt a meal plan for the week. I need to do the online shop, do several loads of washing and make some pasties…which reminds me to go take the cheats frozen pastry out of the freezer!
So a busy day bumbling around the house on my own. If it wasn’t for dog is have a whole moan free day 🤣
I hope you all have wonderful Saturdays, do let me know what you all get up to 😁☕️📚🍫🌈

Morning! Happy weekend!
Currently in bed reading an Agatha Christie with a cup of tea. I inherited a load from my Nana and can't bear to part with them but have never read them before. Thoroughly enjoying!
Free from parenting until 3pm but have a slight headache from the two large wines I drank in the pub last night 🤦. I'm surely too old for hangovers 😂
Absolute zero left in my bank account until Monday so a quiet weekend. I've been so cautious with money this month that I have a strong urge to splurge in Feb 😬😬. There's so many things I need (want 😂). I must resist and choose  wisely from my list!

Oh @elbree it’s so hard. A new month full of spending possibilities 😬 I budget a spending amount and always blow it in the first week and then have to rejig everything for the rest of the month…I really need to get a grip with that. I’m not sure I could manage 2 large wines either, I’m out of practice. I’ve  never read all the Agatha Christie’s either…I have a vague recollection of reading one many years ago. I am reading a very light witchy series called the blood trails series by Jennifer Blackstream at the moment. I’m on 9 of 12. It won’t win any awards, but it’s fun and I’m enjoying it.

Morning WW and friends

I'm also in bed reading and have a cuppa tea and cinnamon and raisin bagel (vegan, obvs =  my happy place   I'm reading So Lucky by Dawn O'Porter.  Also got Casino Royale on the go for book group.  It is windy here so i hope to get some washing out on the line. I'm meeting a friend for a walk then might go to drop off some stuff at the CS.  I need to do some work for my PT jobs at some point this weekend.  i met some friends last night for a meal; we all love going to the theatre and friend#1 who has just retired (so envious) was reeling off a list of suggestions.  I'm trying to limit myself to a maximum of one treat a month & already have theatre trips booked for Feb and March.....  I need to stop looking on theatre websites!!

love Deni

I haven’t seen a cheque for years @redofromstart 😮 

in my previous job role (started in 2013) i initially got paid by cheque!!   I worked 5 miles from home and the nearest branch of my bank , it was bonkers!  thankfully after about 18 months they changed to paying us online.  I actually laughed when my boss told me as i thought he was joking ......

@Deni_debt-free_dreamer I think it’s often when they don’t have great cash flow. I remember my dad being paid by cheque and rushing to post it through the banks letterbox on his way home, in the hope it would be honoured before they ran out 😢

Morning WW, dog and chums

Today has been busy so far. Up and sorted out kitchen under sink cupboard and another odd one before a quick breakie. Just had hair cuts and am on route to visit squirrel and ducks with M_F dog.
I'm very tired today after having to stay up late for a Morrisons delivery that should have come between 6 and 7 and got cancelled at 6.50 by them before being rung at 8.45 to ask if we still wanted it they could get here around half nine ish! Needless to say after that fiasco we are going back to WR 😮‍💨 We are usually in bed by 9 as early start for work. 
Hopefully this afternoon will be nice and peaceful and you all have a good day 😊
