An in-between phase

Sun_Addict

You’re sounding more like you again and that’s a good sign hopefully 🤞

Glad to hear you are feeling better. My dh is still deaf too.

Cheers @KajiKita, and isn't it just 😂 Made me laugh, and thaw a bit towards them as I have not been impressed with the takeover from panelbase

Haha thanks @Sun_Addict, you mean grumpy and silly and sarcy, right 😁

Thank you @ladyholly, sorry Mr LH is still suffering too. Has he been keeping up with the air pressure exercises you recommended to me? I've been doing them but the best I get is feeling it change then immediately change back, and that's only in the 'good' ear 🙄 

ladyholly

He is still doing them but am not sure if they are helping much. I have suggested going back to the gp but he says no. He says it is very very gradually improving and he doesnt always have the TV quite as loud but I am still having to repeat myself a lot.

Nine hours sleep. Should've been more but too busy stressing. Bit grumpy today, cough and ear a little worse and sick of stressy thoughts going round and round in my head for no good reason

Very tired. Think all the doing things after not doing much for so long is catching up with me

Admin comping tidying

Final receipt survey (other than coop), woohoo

Laundry

25 minute walk including a beer from the shop so I don't go to the pub and spend money there. And £6 for a book of 8 second class stamps!

Found a McDonald's Monopoly token from 2022 on the street, had to pick it up to send a pic to Mr PIP as it made me laugh, and made me remember I'm a womble

Got in just before it started chucking it down.
Did my receipt surveys as soon as I got in

I seem to have minus 90p for the remaining week of February which is extremely annoying, especially as I know I'm not minus and my virus sapped brain just made a mistake somewhere.

Ah well, I can start on next month's budget or take a few quid out of paypal if need be (had a client pay into paypal and haven't moved it as handy for occasional purchases).
Won't do me any harm to see how cheap I can be for a week!
Meant to be seeing mates for drinks on Sunday though and really looking forward to it so will allow myself that spend

Despite singing Vinteds praises on other peoples diaries, I tried to upload an item and after the tedious process of taking and uploading several pics, it wiped all my work so had a huff about that

PiP money to emergency/dental pot

Cleaned the washing machine drawer, which came as a surprise to both me and the drawer

Tried again with vinted and uploaded my item

Coop survey

Tried cleaning a door and got a splinter in return.
I'm calling Friday early finish and getting under a blanket with a beer and a book. It's just been hailing and has started thundering so no guilt at all about not going out for another small walk

Snap, @PiP! I am also heading under a blanket with a book. No beer because I am not a big partaker, but each to their own. 
Re splinter - when we were clearing out my parents' home a few years ago, I found a truly ferocious little gizmo which turned out to be special splinter-removal tweezers. Tiny magnifying lens attached for a better look at the offending spike & needle-like pincers for removal. Have successfully used on removing a splinter from my own finger, but not yet extended to surgery on Mr F. He can faint at the sight of blood (only his own...I often joke that I could be sporting a severed jugular & he'd remain vertical!) so I don't think he would cope with these particular tweezers going within a metre of his person!
Have a peaceful evening. Hail & thunder! Wow! We have actually had a dry sunny-ish day here today.

Enjoy your blanket time @foxgloves, with whatever preferred tipple. This beer is delicious, a caramel biscuit ale at an acceptable 4.8%- and only £1.49 at Aldi (paging @EssexHebridean!).
That sounds a very useful gizmo. I've had a go at getting this splinter out, mum has had a go, but it's too embedded. That'll teach me to attempt unessential cleaning! 

foxgloves

Ah, I can see you are in need of a similar fearsome gizmo, @Pip!

Nine hours sleep with a massive coughing fit in the middle of the night. Bah, bah, bah

I really want to be getting on with things and getting back to trying to improve our pots and feeling energised about doing small things to try to improve our lot, but I reluctantly decided a low-key day focused on rest and healing was the only way forward today

So have done:

Admin comping tidying

Rest and read

Ate a banana from the pile mum and I are trying to get through before they become inedible

Shower and hairwash

Rest and read

20 minute walk getting essentials from Aldi like an own brand pizza for me and Mr PIP to have tomorrow when we get in from drinks with mates
Have started on next month's budget, brain too tired to do financial juggling

Rest and read, getting really quite bored of resting and reading at this point!

Quarter wussy situps (to show exercise willing for general wellbeing)

Rest and read

Prepped sauce for lasagne and now going to have a glass of red wine. I can hear the radio which is very exciting, though mum says it's loud and it seems quiet to me so still a way to go!

Hope everyone is having the Saturday evening they want to x

Sun_Addict

Glad your hearing is coming back. I have a constant battle with Mr SA who has the TV volume on barely audible and tries to make out it’s my ears 😐 Even DS has mentioned the barely audible TV volume.
