I am much better @Skint_yet_Again, thank you for asking. Accountable August did not last long as there have been family stuff going on that has been stressful and worrying, all good now.

Good morning, 

The sun is trying to come out in my part of my Welsh Valley, Have a line of washing out and another load in the washing machine. Fingers crossed the rain hold off until it has dried.

After nearly a fortnight of spending little time at home, today is going to be catching up with jobs around the house and a food shop.

Also need to look at my bank account and see where I am at.

Have  a lovely day.

Cold and wet start to the day here and has not got any better. Did contemplate putting the heating on earlier, haven't as yet.

Booked day off as the dog has been to the vet this morning for his Kennel Cough injection (£47.00) and a ear wash  (£20.00) as he has been rubbing his ear a lot the last few days and there is a large amount of wax in there. We have to go back next Tuesday to see if the wash has worked, if not swabs will be taken and he will need anti-biotics. Luck I have a dog pot for the smaller expenses.

When I look at my accounts yesterday found unaccounted for money that has now been moved to my Future Fund, don't know how I made that mistake, also car expense have been paid and moved over to the car pot.

Have annual leave today and tomorrow, taking advantage to make a very long Bank Holiday Weekend.

Been to weigh this morning and I have maintained 10st 10lb, happy with this as its been a hectic few weeks. Have a few things we need to get done this morning, tip run, charity shop drop off and picking up a new stairgate as our broke yesterday, needed as the dog is not allowed upstairs and would be up there ever second with out a gate.

Mr D has suggested we go out for breakfast as he need to go and get a part for his bike and they have a very nice onsite café, will look to make healthy choices.

Have some painting to get on with when we return later this morning. Weather is rather grey and miserable today so there wont be much chance to get out into the garden.

Just caved in and put the heating on, I am so cold, even with several layers on,
