I ended up nipping to Asd@ and £81 later…..that didn’t even include any meat 😳 I did stock up on coffee and teabags though. Didn’t seem a lot for the money though 😏January spends - £587.581

Oh Milann so sorry to hear you lost your mom so young ☹️ I lost my mom a week after my 40th and I envy friends my age who still have theirs. I work in an area that deals with very rich dead people and have often said they’ll never be dealing with my affairs 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Thanks Sun addict….it was a long time ago but sometimes it seems as if it was yesterday. I can usually look back with a smile. I think my biggest regret now is she never got to meet my Dh and children….so when I talk about her they don’t know her.Ds came around yesterday and took us to a seaside place an hour or so away. We seem to have been there a lot this year. There was an amazing firework display…..world championships. There must have been 1000’s of pounds up in smoke. We didn’t leave home until mid afternoon…..headed to our fave cafe and just got in before big queues formed as folk ate before the display. The cafe was so well organised though and had a slick streamlined system in place 👍 We took our camping chairs in the granny shopping basket 😂😂😂😂and sat and watched the fireworks in comfort, it’s the 1st time we’ve been near speakers to see them synchronised with the music 👏👏The place was heaving. We walked along a little bit of the illuminations but will save driving through for another time as there were far too many folk around yesterday.
im still sitting in my dressing gown and have had scrambled egg and mushrooms on toast for brunch. Twas very tasty 😀 Right I’d better shape myself and get dressed.January spends - £587.585 -
