A limo ride for a child's party just sounds like ultimate one-upmanship to me!

The children loved the limo but definitely ott for a 10 yr old . DGD is having a bowling party for her 7 birthday.The flu and Covid jabs have left me feeling a bit under the weather .I have taken this afternoon as leave , but I have rallied enough to come to the big shopping centre to return some boots .,
Another stress has reared its head in RL and it’s a case of bite your tongue and see how it goes . It’s another change we could all do without .Had a naughty coffee just now hoping the caffeine perks me up .Christmas shopping is coming along well aside the birthdays .Thank goodness for the funds that have been saved .Today I had a device fitted to my tv that sends info about what I watch and then I get paid for this in vouchers of my choice. Will see how it goes .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1 -

Sorry to hear about the stress ☹️ Hope it doesn’t affect you too much.Can just imagine having one of those devices fitted to our TV as Mr SA doesn’t half watch some random stuff. Oh my days 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Seems to be one of those patches of time when there are a lot of curveballs about. Keep dodging them and reminding yourself that wasn't doesn't break you makes you stronger, is my current strategy. Well, that and a lot of deep breaths and counting (slowly!) to 10!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Not feeling the best at the moment , life seems very difficult at the minute .I am just getting over my virus , but having trouble sleeping.
Have had toothache for a week , been to dentist today and need root canal treatment and a crown .NHS price £305 which I need to find from my budget. I am going to EBay a few things this week and I have been given some gold to sell .Will see how I get on there. Whatever the dentist did today seems to have helped .I am going out with a friend tonight for a meal . She has just got the all clear that the breast cancer hasn’t spread so don’t want to cancel her.Life is not good sometimes, but then I turn on the news and realise how lucky I am .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3 -
Good luck with selling the gold and things on eBay.
Hope the teeth get sorted for you and you feel better soon 👍January spends - £587.581
