Evening all

It's been a quiet weekend in the Chicker household. The weather has been awful but we managed a nice walk this morning, although it ended in torrential rain with DD inconsolable because her hands were cold.

A few spends this weekend:
- a £20 donation to a school friend who is trying to raise enough for lifesaving surgery. The story is horrific and has really made me re-evaluate a few things.
-£31.91 oilcloth tablecloth so DD can eat at the table. Our table has an annoying decorative groove running around the edge which gets full of food.
-£119 on a kitchen helper for DD. Expensive but will hopefully avoid her falling off any more chairs  and should sell on well afterwards.
-£23 diesel 

I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow and I'm so nervous I could cry (and probably will). I've got to drive 2.5 hours to a hospital in a town I've never visited. I don't think the appointment will be any help either so it seems so pointless but I have to try it. It's also the longest DD will be left with a family member. I hate all things medical sooo much   

Anyway, this time tomorrow it will hopefully all be over and I won't have to go back!

It will be done before you know it and the drive home will be much better. Hope it goes ok x

Thanks for your kind words. As predicted the appointment wasn’t anything to worry about. The drive was horrible with thick mist most of the way there and back but I was cheered up immensely when I heard about Michael Gove stuck in a lift       

Anyway, next appointment will be over the phone thank goodness! 

Money:
Our car is quite efficient on long drives but still used almost half a tank so approx £40!!!
£2.50 parking from change in my purse as I couldn’t work out how to get the machine to take a card.

I was a bit worried when I got to the hospital and had to use the lift to get to the 8th floor! I don’t believe in karma but I was still relieved to get out at the top! I took the stairs on the way down

Glad your hospital appt went okay. I always find it stressful driving somewhere I don't really know.

Thank you 🙂 Glad it's not just me - I was soooo stressed but feel proud of myself for doing it on my own!
