    Morning everyone,

    I’m a little tired today. My back was hurting in the night so it woke me up for a little bit. 

    I’ve ordered a new book to keep me going over the holidays. It’s the new film about a last letter to a lover. It’s written by Jo Jo Moyes and I’ve read a few of hers. I know I shouldn’t be spending. I do enjoy reading in the garden though in nice weather.

    DD is away with weekend with my parents. She’s going to their caravan in Wales. I might join them at some point but will first do the bedding and sort out some bits in the house. 

    I’m owed £10 from sales and will have the £200 in my bank today when I give it my dad. I’ll wait till Saturday before paying any off my loan when the £84 I get goes in. 

    I’ve planned to go out on my bike a few times while DD is away so hoping my back holds out. 

    Chill day today. I’m tutoring tonight so need to at some point plan and sort the lesson.

    Evening everyone,

    Still waiting on my dad to put the £200 into my account. He’s normally quite good but must have forgotten. 

    I used the money today to buy DD her winter coat and some other bits she needed. That will mean a lower loan payment, which I think is fine. I started this month thinking I would only clear half my credit card if I was lucky and ended it completing it all, and paying off extra on the loan. I also got the rest of DD’s school things sorted except shoes which I hold back on.

    I’m happy with that and think I can end the week knowing I’ve done ok. One more week and then payday. 

    I’ve still got items on to sell but they’re the niche items that I’m not sure will go. If they do, it’s straight off the loan. 

    DD goes tomorrow for the weekend. Im going to miss her but it’ll be lovely to also have some time.

    Must have just slipped his mind. 
    My son been away for few days he’s back tomorrow, I always make sure I have his room spotless for when he comes home. Don’t know why I bother it’s a mess after he’s been in five minutes. I think when he’s away I just like looking in and seeing how tidy it is. I know I’m sad, I need to get a life 🤣🤣
    DD will be looking forward to her holiday, time for you to relax and hopefully you feel well enough to get out on your bike x

    Morning all,

    just dropped off DD. I have an appointment this morning and then the day is mine. 

    I took her out yesterday and used the money to get her a new warm winter coat and some trainers. She needed the trainers and I just thought I might as well get her the coat whilst the money is there and they have her size. It’s a lovely thick one with a fleece inside so should keep her really toasty in the winter. She’s growing up so much now.

    I used my paella pan last night and made a fish and chorizo paella. It was quite nice and tasty. I’ll be making one again. I didn’t have turmeric or saffron so used smoked paprika instead. I could really have done with turmeric to make it have that beautiful yellow colour. 

    The book that was due to come was down for another week delivery do I cancelled it. I’ll get one off my shelf instead. I’ve got tons I haven’t read. 

    Have a good day everyone x
