Forgot to say the plants in the greenhouse have survived their week of neglect 🙂

I think you need a holiday to recover from your holiday x

@Makingabobor2 he’d hate respite care. I’d never hear the last of it from him and he’d be ringing me every 5 minutes. It would be too stressful. 

Take his phone off him so you could have a few days relaxation.

I've been reading along for a while, you really are the glue holding everything together.  I totally understand you don't fancy a spa break but what about looking into local ones for a day out or even an afternoon to yourself?   I've yet to go but there is a posh hotel near me that has a 'spa' that is two pools with sun loungers, (one indoor one outdoor) a cafe and lots of grounds to do a nature walk in with a sauna and whirlpool and so on.  I've thought It might be a relaxing place to spend a few hours in the past. Never actually done it but it has always been one of the things I might do sometime.

Morning all

Finally done the payday shuffle. A massive chunk of the direct debits have gone out now. Another £100 overpayment has gone to the mortgage.

Savings added:
Premium Bonds £100
YBS Christmas Saver £150.00
Principality RS £250.00
Nationwide RS £200.00
Glasses/vet/appliances £120.00
Annual payments £70.00

A few oddments mounted up to £14.02 and sent to the Christmas pot. 

The holiday pot took a bit hit as had to pay off the July holiday balance 😐

Credit card balance has been cleared. 

Got another Mr M delivery coming this afternoon. Added a few extra bits to it as DD said staff discount is 20% today. Ordered a 2kg bag of red lentils and the same of chana dal. Already discounted to £2.59 so will get another 20% off, good bargain I thought. 

Exercise today will be dog walking later, stretch & tone at lunchtime and Zumba tonight. Slowly getting back into my routine. 

Tonight's dinner is stir fry.

Good discount there. My nephew works for Mr S & my sister always takes advantage of the extra discount.

I maintain the world is split into two kinds of people - those who think spa days are amazing and those who would rather extract their own toenails with a pair of pliers than even contemplate one! 😂

Looks like DD may have to go back into hospital. She’s throwing up blood 🙁 She looks absolutely terrible. She’s trying to get through to the ward now.

Oh no. That’s not good.
