Today wasn't a bad day.
I cleaned out the animals and went to the tip (!) Cleared some garden stuff. Went and booked my eye test. Building up courage to do the dentist! Hair is booked too, tho need to home dye for the funeral.
I am going to continue in the garden tomorrow. I am getting stuck on how to fix some bits but there are other things I can do. Maybe solutions will come as I am chopping away.

Went to the opticians.
Spent A LOT of money.
Thing is my current glasses are shocking and I hate them. I can't read in them, I feel like I can't see properly and they are just so annoying. The (new) optician was so helpful and the person who helps choose your glasses was great too, much better than my specsavers experience!
The result of this is I shouldn't have made the payment on the loan, was a bit gung ho there! But I do have the second job money so all is not lost. I just can't have any emergencies! I mean I can, I have savings but I am trying so hard to keep on with them.
In a bizarre way it sort of gives me a restart and a realisation that I don't have any money at all!
I was going to write more but honestly can't remember! off to the garden! XX

I had to have new glasses recently and because my eyes are so bad I have to have ultra thinning to fit them in a fairly thick frame. This time round I also needed reading glasses which are just fab (I was offered varifocals but didn't fancy them) I hadn't realised how bad my eyes had got until I popped the new ones on.1
