Hope chemo goes well tomorrow Valli
Listed 18 items on eBay this morning. Now, as all the ferals have been delivered back home, I might list them on Vinted too. Assisted by snoring pup, obvs.
Didn't seem to get much done today, which is annoying. I had all these grand plans to do about twenty jobs today, but have stalled after four.
Ah well...7 -
Pack ups done, second run of DW, 5 different dinners.. it felt like it anyway.. EC has her hospital appointment on Sunday!!
DD1's CF has been offered a new job.. more money but he is financially abusive so that might not be the best thing for her and the children..I will never complete this list.. my brain is mush.. I have 2 items to parcel.. and one to find but I looked already and it has disappeared.Evri have stolen another parcel.. saying it 'should' be delivered by the first of february!!! it was posted the 4th January!!!! I shall ask Terrence.. he might go looking for it for me.. honestly that company needs shutting down or prosecuting or something.. they are a disgrace.
SENCO being shown the growly side of me next week.. I will ask for an appointment for next week with her and the class teacher because Dot is struggling and it is her job.. she has an EHCP she should not have to struggle!
I also am going to kick up a fuss about Twinkle.. she is chewing off digits and peeling the skin on her fingers like banana peel! it is really concerning.. no one is sleeping, everyone is crying constantly and if they aren't crying they are screeching.. I am done.
Meem is here now so I am having OH take her back to my sisters with her 3 binbags of stuff.. that will clear the car boot so I can fill it with the next round of stuff to leave the house! YYYEEEEEEEEEET.
Twinkle still hasn't found any of her 3 pairs of glasses.. I swear she eats them!right.. parcels.. then I shall maybe knit for the remainder of the evening..I want to get these cardigans finishedLB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)8 -

Well…I’ve read Mrs Harris goes to New York in two sessions! I often used to lose myself in a book, but when my sister was ill, and after she died I could no longer do that. Since Christmas I’ve read two books, completely absorbed by them both too.So glad to hear that reading is now back on your list of things to do. I hope today's chemo goes smoothly.We've had a busy week, far too busy for me to be honest, so I'm taking it a bit easier this morning prior to dealing with another load of washing, and finishing getting ready for a random friend of a friend who needs somewhere to stay for a couple of nights.The discipline of your No Spend January is working miracles here ASB, so thank you for suggesting it.Better is good enough.8 -
Table cleared and wipedFood bought for the week mostly.. I still need a couple of pack up bits but I have materials so I may need to just bake things. I loathe baking!Cat food and litter purchased.. little fatties have eaten everything in sight for 2 weeks!3 Parcels collected, 2 to package.Front room needs whizzing over but I need to drug this stupid hip of mine.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)8

Had a productive morning in the shop, which is great. 9 things listed for sale, and had a couple of sales while I was there
WM and TD both on their second loads and I've had a daytine bath! What luxury, with bubbles and YouTube and NOBODY yelling for me!
I'm in the mood to bake a cake, so that might happen a bit later, alough Mount Ironmore is calling, now that I've caught up with the washing backlog.
Came back home through the back and surprised all the dogs, which resulted in a scuffle and Lady Longshanks has now got a bitten ear. Frederick the psycho collie lost his collar in the melee, so I've just wrestled with him to get it back on. Had to eat two jam doughnuts to calm my nerves...
Chilli con Carne planned for dinner tonight. The flayed carcasses of yesterday's chickens are looking at me accusingly from the fridge, but I'm ignoring their dishevelled mess today. I'll make something with the cooked meat tomorrow, if ICBA.8 -
Afternoon everyone
Valli more wishes and prayers from me for chemo going well xxx
So far today I have WM on twice, first time towels this time bedding. towels are out on the line!! yay!! Bedding yet to finish washing. Stripped bed and remade, replaced handtowel in bathroom and changed the sofa throws, all meds taken ( miracle, I quite often forget to take the dispersible aspirin, put it in the water, just forget to drink it lol )
Echocardiogram appointment arrived, just waiting for the angiogram one. Airer set up waiting for bedding, cuppa made and 'thinking' about food for weekend before going into town for needed bits and pieces tomorrow, while picking up prescriptions . I shall rattle soon lol
Have a great Friday all xx7
