Pulling my frugal pants on.

Managed to add £77 to my 🐞PP.  Did this as we pay our CT over 10 months, so feb/march has been allocated to 🐞PP and paid a large chunk off one of our holidays. This money tends to just get absorbed into the general budget, but decided to take a different approach this year. 

Another problem has arisen with OH car (money pit)so need to call the garage tomorrow. Mine is going in on Tuesday for its MOT and a service. 

The youngest is better but coughing plenty. I’m just tired and will be glad when I have more energy. Only been having one meal a day and a few snacks, looking forward to getting on the scales tomorrow 🥴. Didn’t go and see the eldest obviously. Which obviously saved me money. No money spent today but I did enjoy looking at a website for fab clothes recommended by beanielou. Definitely will be revisiting once dad’s house is sold. 

Right best think about starting tea

Tea - used up some veggie sausages and herbs out the freezer. There is leftovers for us to have on Tuesday (OH doesn’t like to eat the same thing on consecutive nights😤). Also made apple and blackberry (freezer) crumble , I had mine with Greek yoghurt BB1st feb. Breakfast is prepped for the morning. OH and I try to have breakfast together at least once during the week. Breakfast eggy muffins, mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 and Glamorgan sausage mmmmmm. Unfortunately we’ve had to make some expensive compost from the f&v I bought at the beginning of the week due to 2 of us being ill and having no appetite.

Really need to go to bed-very tired 😴

Sympathies on the OH not being willing to eat the same thing two days running. Same here but two weeks running! 🙄😂

Hope you slept well 😊

Wow KK you must have lots of recipe ideas in order for that to happen.
 Dreadful nights sleep, exhausted. Night sweats again. On, off, on, off, on, off goes the duvet all night.
 Good job not a lot  planned for today,  Boiler been serviced and other than recuperating that it for the day. Might try and get some housework done if energy levels permit.

I sympathise, I've come down with a lurgy too and my temperature is only stable and normal if I take some Lemsip capsules, otherwise it's up and down like an uncomfortable yoyo.

Omg I sick of being sick. Up part of the night with what I think is the start of a urine infection, luckily I had some stuff in the cupboard from when the youngest had it 3 weeks ago. All plans cancelled except taking car for its mot and b12 injection. I did yoga in the middle of the night to ease my ibs pains and watched pottery throw down. Incredibly tired this morning but did manage to get up to have breakfast with OH.
Best get sorted once time in front of light box is done

Oh hun, I so feel you. I’m a month in with this cold now. It gets sooo tiring doesn’t it …

Hoping you can quash the UTI  but if you need ABs, do get them. No point risking your kidneys …

I know what you mean KK. My body is obviously telling me to take it easy but my mind is bored of it now and just wants to get on with stuff. 

Car failed its mot, minor work needed and then passed in the afternoon. It’s nearly done 100,000 miles and still going strong. Spent the day on mums sofa watching tv, as she’d popped through to take the youngest out for lunch. Garage where we take the car isn’t in the town we live. We really should look for one, but we trust the garage. Trust and familiarity goes along way. 

Today I’m taking the youngest for their medication review and then taking them to meet up with their best friend. I really need to sort out their blue badge , it’s something I keep putting off but really needs doing.
 Right best get their chair in the car

Youngest medication has been altered. Yesterday absolutely wiped them out, so an easy day is needed today. Taking OH car to the garage 🤞it’s not an expensive job. Borrowing mums car to come back home as I’m going to meet up with a friend. They’ve got a new sofa and my bum has been invited to test it out🤣. Was hoping for a dry day as the mountain is in danger of cascading down the stairs, but forecast is for rain. I have one more cupboard in the kitchen to declutter and then I need to move onto the room of doom🤷‍♀️. 

Right time for breakfast 
love 🐞

What is the mountain on the stairs ….? And which is the room of doom …? 

Hope the sofa testing is fun and restorative 😊
