Well last nights film was disappointing unfortunately I stayed awake throughout as well 😁. Today Aunt is coming over, so that’s most of the day gone and then I’m going for curry with the girlfriends I used to go out with regularly, now we are lucky if it’s a few times a year. Two of the four tend to cancel quite a bit, it’s a shame really as it’s not easy making new friends once you hit a certain age, and there’s not much contact in between meet ups. Ah well, I need to make the most of it 🙂 Personal spending will cover it, as I’m not really buying clothes or much at the moment it should still be manageable sticking to a reduced personal spending amount this month. I’ve transferred the £50 from my spending money and the £100 from the grocery budget at the start of the month, if I wait until the end I will have spent it 🤣 so that’s £150 towards doing something while do is off at Xmas.
This morning I’m potentially going to try for tickets to see Rowan Atkinson next year, I’ve registered for pre sale and tickets start as £35, which probably means there’s one ticket for £35 behind a pillar and the rest are £1000 😆 But the lure of seeing blackadder is too great and I may have to spend a bit more! I was hoping for a reduced budget of £50 each for Xmas this year and dh has said he would come with me, so ideally under that would be great and from the Xmas budget.
Plans for today :
See Aunt, plus take her to mums for lunch
Post parcel
Bit of washing
Try get Rowan Atkinson tickets
Book restaurants on Arctic cruise after liaising with dad (budgeted for, holiday spending pot )
Ring hospital re cardio appointment Friday ( trying to send over film of my last echo as there were no reports made so now can’t compare when I have the next one, same private hospital too 😡)
make sausage casserole in SC for dh
