Think that's everything for today. Hope you all have an amazing Friday! Twigs
Had a badly infected tooth out and had to go straight on to work for a couple of hours yesterday, and am still feeling a bit sorry for myself.
Made OH take the dog out this morning, as it is so cold and I don't feel great. I can however eat a bit today, which is good! Only softish stuff, but that is easy enough.
I have however done the usual kitchen clean up, and some tidying in the larder and dusting in the living room. Also given the dog his worm, flea and joint care tablets. He was in heaven as this involved a lot of cheese He happily eats any tablet, any time, if it has cheese wrapped around it. He usually only gets one piece with his daily joint care supplement, and thought he had won the lottery this morning as it was time for his monthly worm and three monthly flea treatments as well
I will continue with these small but annoying jobs today I think.
There is mushroom flan in the fridge for lunch
I will do shepherds pie for dinner, easy as I had a base for one in the freezer, just need to do a potato and sweet potato mash to top it
Need to find and post a birthday card for DD1. Her present will have to wait till I get to see her, as the post seems to be a bit hit and miss at the moment.
Banks need checking, meters need reading, recycling needs putting out, bird table needs restocking.... plenty to keep me occupied.
Update on Sainsburys, they extended my trial for another month until 5th March! Manager said she will review permeant jobs next week, hopefully I get one! I've also picked up another 7 shifts over the next 3 weeks. Totalling at 34 hours, so overall within the next 3 weeks ill be doing 66 hours with Sainsburys and with my main job it equals around 103.5 hours! A lot I know but this debt needs clearing.
