Morning. More visiting today and more spendiness, DH needs a wedge pillow.
It is quite tiring doing three hours plus driving each day. I do enjoy driving though.
I'm not challenging myself to doing more than pay the garage bill, school run, visiting and bins out.5 -
Very sensible. I find the actual visit into a hospital more stressful than the long drive to it, once you've done the drive a couple of times. Last time I took my son for his appt at the local hospital we arrived 30 mins early for his half hour appt, I finally found a parking space 5 minutes before his appt finished. I quite understand why they have made nearly all spaces for NHS only but it doesn't make life easy.Alchemilla said:I'm not challenging myself to doing more than pay the garage bill, school run, visiting and bins out.
