    I had a manual spiraliser when they first became a thing, I used it a lot so decided to go fancy and get an electric one. I gave the manual one to a charity shop. I used the electric one once, it wasn’t as good as the old one sadly. I’m determined to have another go with it before I get rid.

    Happy shiny new diary milann. I didn’t realise the extent of your health issues, you must be like the bionic woman by now (but don’t get anything else rebuilt, I think you’ve had enough now 😁).

    Ww I’m eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses. But I really don’t want to spend much more time at their workplaces 😂😂

    Hiya Beanie and SSG…..and everyone else.
    😂😂😂This diary is quite liberating. A whole new space to write a new story of my money and life wranglings 👍👍 
    So I went slightly mad yesterday and decided to do something for me. The money will partly come out of this months cc payments as it’s actually a low spend month however the majority is surplus from the excess of the change from ghe £100 I’d put to one side last year….I still have ds birthday money from it too 😃  It never used to be a low spend month before I budgeted for Christmas - I’d be paying back ccs for at least a couple of months. I don’t really want to jinx things by talking about it but I’m quite excited. I’ve planned things so many times before and life has got in the way and scuppered it. So fingers crossed it comes into fruition. 
    I have taken my £100 cash out and started putting my £10 a month present fund away for the cash presents from it. The rest will pay for incidentals like the window cleaner and any excess towards whatever I fancy it to be on once it’s built up. 
    Dh is off work today and has nipped out to his U3A group. Not quite sure what we’ve got planned later.
    I was quite proud of myself yesterday…….after years of owning a phone I’ve figured out how to use the calendar feature - told you I was a technophobe 😂😂😂😂 I’m not even sure if I’m using it correctly or to it’s full advantage but I managed to put some upcoming Millie Motorhome outing dates into it - go me 😂😂😂😂😂
    The car has finally made its way to the garage for repair. He phoned this morning saying he’s sourced the part 👍 Expecting a £500 bill 😯
    I think I’ve been bitten - I’ve got a big (well side of a 5p) white raised itchy patch by the side of my lip. Off to find some anti bite lotion. Hope I’ve poisoned whatever has had a go at me 😏

    Ooh that sounds exciting! Don’t jinx it, but give us a clue 😁 I’d love to know what new thing you are doing for you! 
    Car repairs are stupid expensive 😟
    it’s not really the season for bitey things, are you sure it wasn’t MrM? 😬

    Most definitely wasn’t Mr M 😂😂😂😂I’d have bitten him back 😂😂😂 he’d gone out by the stage I noticed it. When I looked in the mirror it was the size of a 10p so liberal amounts of anti histamine cream has been applied. It tastes disgusting 😯
