I hadn’t thought of a resale….thanks. I’ll check it out Joedenise.I know INOD, I’m very reluctant to use a mobile device for my banking - especially after watching TV this morning. They were interviewing folk you’d had phones snatched and their whole life had been snatched in a second 😳 I don’t ever use my I pad other than at home though.
Well Dh was up at 4.30 this morning ready for a 5 am pick up. I was awake so he brought me a cuppa in bed...then promptly knocked off my bedside table 🥴 I was up like a shot and got towels from the bathroom to mop it up. The majority of it went over the pillows I use in bed for sitting up but put by the side of me on the floor whilst I sleep. The towels were washed and dried in the cheap overnight electricity all before 6.30 am 😂👍. I did go back to bed but never nodded off again. I chilled for a good while then had a relaxing bath and conditioned my hair. The bedding has also been washed and is nearly dry…..it feels like dinner time already 😂😂😂 I’m usually only thinking about breakfast at this time of day.I’ll ring my brother to see if he’s up for a visitor in a while and head into town, have a mooch around and continue my journey to his house or if he’s not up to it will try again tomorrow. It’s hard to plan in advance as his health fluctuates from day to day and the better days are much less often. It’ll be strange at the family wedding at weekend as I’ll be the only one from my generation there…..there are just the 2 of us now and he’s not up to it. It’s strange watching the generations change….i was always the youngest by a long way and now I’m up there as one of the eldest 🤭😯😂 I’m looking forward to it.Right I’m going to make my bed and have a quick tidy of the bedroom before I head off.January spends - £587.581 -
Ive just used my iPad to log into my bank. It worked exactly the same as my computer so I’m happy with that. There’s no way I’m having it on my phone though….ds and Dh think I’m being over cautious but I’m happy as I am 😂👍January spends - £587.580

just make sure that your ipad doesn't connect to anyone else's wifiMortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 11st 12lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.
