Pulling my frugal pants on.

Hi beanielou, we have an off roading wheelchair for the youngest unfortunately the GP is fairly certain i  have this
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lichen-sclerosus/
and currently sitting is very painful. I'm very lucky in that the only symptoms I have is pain (attacked with a flame thrower). I hope by putting it on my page it might help someone else. 
Thanks debtfreewannabe321 apparently stress is a contributing factor to my condition as well and boy have I had that in bucket loads lately. Appointment for boob squishing went as well as can be expected. 
Anyway thrown myself a pity party this week, told a few people that I can no longer help or do things for them. Looked at getting myself fitter and healthier. Cut right back on the sugar and carbs, managed to lose 2lbs this week. Spent quite a bit of time reading. 
Frugalness 
1. Batch cooked Veggie chilli, Veggie lasgana, cauliflower cheese and Veggie spag bog. 
2. Bought 3 books of 2nd class stamps before they increase the price. 
3. DH collected the next batch of homemade cider from his dad's. 
Take care everyone
Love🐞

Sorry that sitting is painful. I am the opposite & for me it’s standing & walking. What are we like ❤️‍🩹

Sending virtual hug beanielou. 
So early this morning DH, received a phone from his dad saying they didn't have enough money to cover what we had asked for to help us with the mortgage and had asked DH brother to lend them the £13500🤦🏻‍♀️ and he was putting in our account. DH  very upset as it was only £1350 we'd asked for and is yet another indication of the state of his mum's memory. Quick message to his brother to say they had got it wrong and luckily he'd not got round to sending it. Phew!!!!!
Frugalness for yesterday 
1. Finally finished the bags of salad from olio friend last night. 
2. Used nature's tumble dryer yesterday.

Had a lovely lunch out with mum and family. Picked up the youngest meds and the lovely young woman behind the counter advised me to fill in a HC1 form on the youngest behalf. Almost finished just need to access their accounts to find out how much is in there at the moment and hopefully send it tomorrow.

DH and the eldest arrived safely in the lakes. Frugalness 
1. Homemade granola made. 
2. Used nature's tumble dryer 
3. Tea was leftovers and snacklettes. 
4. Meal plan done. Shopped from freezers,fridge, cupboards and allotment first. We have 2 celebration🎉 teas next week and birthday cake🎂 to sort.
5. The youngest has finally agreed they need to budget better as they have spent way more than their allowance this month. Will source a book for budgetting from the countless notebooks we have. Will obviously have to support them with this but it's a start. So glad we went for LPA.

What a week that was. FIL ended up in hospital with sepsis, very scary time. He arrived on DH birthday shaking uncontrollably, GREY, barely able to string a sentence together and sweating. Took one look at him and insisted DH take him straight to A and E. With the right medince he is now on the road to recovery and looks the best I've seen him for a while.
We are having issue with the remortgage, it was supposed to be yesterday but it was short from the banks side for some convoluted reason that we didn't find out about till almost 5pm. Then today it's not gone through due to needing a day's interest paid. Sick to death of it to be honest, no wonder my stress levels are high. 
The eldest came for a week which was lovely, but brought a cold with them, gives me something to look forward to in the coming weeks🤣.
My health is gradually improving although recent stressers haven't helped. 
Mum is going home on Thursday, so taking her shopping later.
