    Friday, Ive just been paid   and Ive moved money over to my alternative universe account.  Theres now £65 in extra rent. By the skin of my teeth. I had £50 left from last month's wages (being paid early helped with that) so last night transferred it and with todays money I now have £70 sat in Jabberwocky.  That means I have £100 left till that pot is full. I will meet this by the end of the year  because Mum owes me £55 and I have to submit a healthcare plan for dental work to get almost £50 reimbursed. 

    I went with a friend earlier this week to a large shopping centre in another city and though I didnt buy much, I could see why where I live (and work) they struggle in comparison for sales. It wasnt just the wider range of shops they had, it was the wider range of stock.  We had something to eat too and then were discussing train times home when Mr S rang on his way back from working elsewhere in the country, he was nearby and could pick us up. The weather was horrible, so very appreciative of the door to door service home.

    Nan's death cert has been issued and collected with a few copies bought. The tell us once code issued, though Ive told Dad not to touch it till we can come and go through it with him  (just worried he'll miss something not understanding). The funeral directors have been given all relevant documents, parents didnt continue on to bank with funeral invoice due to weather. It was very dark and gloomy and raining heavily yesterday so I think a wise decision.

    I have work today and Sunday (so unfortunately wont be home when DD arrives back). Then just 2 shifts between then and Jan, which ironically is more time off than some of the admin jobs Ive had where you get all weekends and BH off. 

    Have a good weekend everyone.
