Glad you all enjoyed the panto. I hope your dad's leg has improved.

Thank you Milann and SSG. 

Working from home today for a change and tomorrow. 

Sunday was spent doing more errands for mum and dad , then home to do my ironing. 

My DS brought his girlfriend round for me to meet , I think this one may be the one ☝️.
Bit of a quieter week planned, well hopefully. 

Had a chat early morning with my SIL in Australia, they have been asking when I will be coming over again. Not sure when that will be, will have to see. 

I got my Xmas stuff out at lunch to put up later , nearly finished work for the day . 

Thinking of an early night tonight.

How lovely that DS has met someone he wanted to bring to meet you - definitely sounds like a positive sign doesn't it! 

Love the picture from the park as well - giant ducks! 

Also glad to hear the NY trip was as good as you'd hoped it would be - it's somewhere I'd sort of like to go, if only to see the 911 memorial. Some friends of mine were there a few years ago and I remember them saying how moving it was. My inner tube geek would definitely be making sure I rode the subway though!

Well not a good start to the day an hour to do a 5 mile journey this morning, anyway I got to where I needed to be the supermarket and two lots of shopping was duly done. 

Then a bit of housework at mum and dads , nothing strenuous. Whipped dad to the doctors for his appointment and back home . I was then treated to my dads lovely veg soup. Back home by 2.30 , I have watched a Netflix film and done not very much after that. 

Just over two weeks to the big birthday , going to look at Railcards tonight and see when I can apply for that.

An hour for 5 miles is not fun. Glad your day improved after that.

Housework done this morning, some phone calls confirming birthday events. 

This afternoon have to take mum to a hearing aid appointment, then get DGD for her swimming lesson, should be back home for 7pm. 

Mr first gas and electric bill was £105 for a month , but then the £66 off , can cope with that. Have nearly £1000 in my fuel account, hoping to save it for next winter .

That's good going on the credit. You could look at some of the savings rates though and earn interest on it. That said - my credit going into this month was about £450 so I agree it is reassuring to have.

Glad you had a good time In New York. My daughter is taking me away for my 60th next year and I have picked Rome, I would like to visit NY but I think it might be too hectic for me nowadays and I also wanted to go somewhere warm 😀
