Sending a hug

Glad you are enjoying an extended visit SYA - no cats or horses here but big hugs all the same 🥰🥰

Thank you all for your support and good wishes and for all hugs human or animal ☺️ 💖

I have enjoyed the break but am looking forward to going home. In the back of my mind I know there is so much to do. 

This week I am meeting up with friends on wed, thu & Friday. I am also having my hair cut on Thursday. I have eaten out a lot and I have not been eating healthily but I will get back into routine when I get back and will be going back to aquafit. 

Pots are currently 

DS wedding £1000 (emergency)

Visit family. £0

Annual bills £650 (£120 pm)

Car fund      £600. (50pm)

Xmas/bday £350 (£50 pm) 

Current account balance = £248.69 which will need to cover petrol home (£60), 2 weeks shopping (£80) and 2 weeks petrol (£20). 

Emergency /executor (DIY) pot = £962.97.
If necessary I can use the £1000 wedding pot for emergencies too and take £1000 out of my regular saver if needed for the wedding before I get reimbursed for executor expenses from dad’s account. However there is no sign of a wedding date yet. 

Credit card = £26 for a jumper for me (£20) and some lovely socks (£6 Christmas present so will be paid from Xmas pot) 

I didn’t intend to use the credit card but for some reason my debit card wouldn’t work in the store. I will try to use the card again and if it’s not working I will have to pop in the bank before I go home. It’s much easier to get to the bank here than at home. 

No plans for today. I enjoyed a walk with the dogs this morning although it is grey and damp. Yesterday was lovely and sunny and I did a bit of gardening and washing. DS cooked a roast and then I just relaxed for the rest of the day.

Yes, lovely and sunny here too. Nice to think of you in the garden 'pegging out' as our family call it...while the dogs stroll around and your son cooks you a roast
