Good Morning All,

Valli I hope you feel brighter this morning lovely xx

Piggers - you will get through this - sending you lots of love xx

Up and at em (sort of) at 5.30. Animals fed, DW on, meter read and reading submitted, email sent to soon-to-be-former-boss, recycling out. I need to have a quick shower and head off to work. Not spending is going well, sticking to my meal plan. I do need milk (again!) but selling some eggs today will cover that cost.

Have lovely days all xx

@Valli - hope you feel better today! 

@pigpen - not sure what's going on as a newbie but hope that everything works out okay! 

I won't get much flying done today as I've got my grandbaby coming for the day so only playing will be allowed!! 😂 I'll try for a quick clear up once he's gone but it's more likely that I'll just flop on the sofa exhausted!! 

Valli

i think i’m coming down with a cold…thanks for the well wishes,.

Ive taken parrots for the headache and feel a bit brighter already.

Valli I hope you start to feel better soon, look after yourself and don't push yourself.

Piggers these two days will pass before you know it..

Asb well done for sticking to your meal plan and not spending 👍

Leftattraffic enjoy your grandbaby today, have lots of fun and forget flying today 😉

I'm flying in a fashion today but I'll mainly be packing and throwing things for the DH's tip run later. I've got to sort through a bag of cuddly toys from childhood and decide whether I want you keep or throw.. I've also got to finish clearing the rest of the food cupboard, the wardrobe and the hotspot at the side of the bedroom. 

I think I've done as much paperwork as I can at the moment just waiting for a couple of people to get back to me via email.

So far I've decluttered two cups of tea, hung the washing out and put another load in.

Good morning all xx 

This morning: I'm up, showered,  washed my hair, got dressed in all clean clothes,  put all worn clothes in the laundry hamper, put clean towels in the bathroom, put used towels on top of the laundry hamper (ready to be washed next), made my bed, supped two brews and eaten breakfast. Not necessarily in that order!

To Do Today:
Feed the birds
Put out the recycling
Put away pots that were WULTD 
Pay lecky bill
Breathe

I recently celebrated my 10th Anniversary in my post at work. And publicly stated that I love my job. (Which is true - it's the office politics, cockwombles interference etc that I loathe and detest). Four days later cockwombles announced big changes ahead. Again. And black dog bit. And my anxiety jumped on board for the ride. 🤢

Three and a half years until I can claim my State pension- and I'll have been paying into the work pension for 10.5 years by then (first 3 years in post I was Agency). Will I be able to afford to retire? No idea.

Meanwhile I'm cutting back where I can. I've switched to shopping at Mr Al's which means I can afford to start to stock up my freezer and cupboards- couldn't do that at Mr C00p prices.....but I had to find my brave before switching.
My gas bill was overestimated and they wouldn't accept my meter reading online (said it was too low!!!!) So I phoned them and eventually spoke to a person who accepted my reading and reduced the bill by £40 thankyouverymuch.
Bolstered by this yesterday I phoned my Broadband provider and negotiated to have my bill reduced by £12.59 a month. 

I'm out of braves now. 

Congratulations,  commiserations,  hugs, and much love to all.

My mother-in-laws memorial service.. my SIL is a fruitloop/addict/drunk and her partner is an abusive vile little worm of a man.. between the 2 they killed MIL.. FIL is being a kn0b too... we will be well rid of them all from our lives.. MIL will be missed however, she was not horrible. There will be a scene.

Thank you all.. I really need some flylady handholding tomorrow.. and an understanding judge.. I don't want to be arrested but if I am.. it was nice knwing you all and please come visit me! .. bring sweets!

See you on the other side..

Eeeks I've just decluttered my underwear drawers into suitcases and I was shocked at what I'd got..

58 pairs of knickers (no manky ones either I got rid of all these a few months ago)
30 bras (no bad ones here either, as above)
25 pairs of socks

And I've just had three new bras delivered.. 😆

Dh thinks I may have a problem....lol

@pigpen - that sounds awful!! 😔 try not to give them the satisfaction of you losing your temper - people like that will twist the truth to make themselves sound like the victim and dine out on it for years 🤦‍♀️ I really hope it goes okay, try to break the 48 hours into smaller bits - it's surprising what you can deal with if you tell yourself 'I just need to get through the next 15 minutes' - however, sweets are available should you need them!! 😉 

@Natty68 - think I have to agree with your dh!! 😳😳😳 not sure I've owned that much underwear in my entire lifetime!! 😂😂😂 hope your cat is okay 🤞 

Grandbaby is still here but I managed to get a few bits done before he arrived and while he was eating lunch - laundry is now up to date and the bathroom, bedroom, hallway, stairs and landing have all been cleaned and vacuumed. I'll sort the kitchen when he's gone - I've wiped the surfaces and the front of the cabinet doors/handles already, just need to clean the floors 😁
