Pulling my frugal pants on.

Debtfreewannabe321 sent you marmalade recipe , ladywithaplan love homegrown veggies especially as we know that only sun and rain have touched them, Flying_by and badmemory washing didn't disappear due to the wind and was super dry🤣.
Spent the majority of yesterday falling asleep. Collected the youngest from college early as they weren't well again. So other than falling asleep I put the washing out and made 12 jars of marmalade. Making another batch tonight.

Been awol due to concerns regarding a small lump in an intimate area, Dr confirmed it's not serious. Need to keep a eye on it incase it develops into something else. At least I now know what that feels and looks like and its just me😳. Oh the joy of been a middle aged woman🙄. More drugs prescribed. 
It's made me seriously consider what I would like out of life and it's not what is happening now, more or less. DH and I need to sit down and talk about our future. 
Dropped the youngest at my mum's as they are staying there as it's our wedding anniversary (22years)tomorrow. Our plans are having to change due to us both not feeling too good. DH off work again. 
Frugalness 
1. Exchanged soup and stew(me) for oj and teabags with mum.
2. Free exercise with miss giddychops, (10, 000 steps) plus free sticks we collect on each walk.
3. Tea is from the freezer (part of a previous batch cook).
4. Used nature's tumble dryer.
5. Free mental health boost--  had lunch in the garden and watched the birds flitting in and out the garden.

@ladybird1106 - sorry life is not too good at the moment hope you work out what you need to so life is more fulfilling. The sun was lovely today and lifted spirits I like the sun.

Sorry you're not feeling at your best, good news about the lump though. It comes to us all, I'm back off to see the urology consultant on Monday, with a hope that by the end of the year I'll have the same outcome as Charles 3 - for me, the joys of being a man in his 60s

@ladybird1106 It's always a huge worry finding a lump but good that you managed to see a GP who was able to allay your fears.  An event like that does throw things into perspective and hopefully you and DH can make plans for a more satisfying and enjoyable future for yourselves.  Wishing you both a very happy anniversary for tomorrow.

Had a lovely anniversary so far, just got back from our walk. Glorious sunshine, lots of birds and DH got chance to checkout the next piece of hedge he will be laying with students in the next month.
Called via the in-laws as fil has been diagnosed with angina and needs his antique stents changing. Which explains his tiredness etc. So our plans will have to put on hold or made to accommodate potential future changes. Definitely going to have to do more at the allotment.
