The Diary Of Onebrokelady Aged 60 And A Half

Onebrokelady · 27 July at 10:23PM

I’ve had a busy few days
On Friday I went over to DD1s to look after the kids while she worked from home. I just had to supervise as she was there in another room but it’s easier for her if there’s someone there to entertain them and get snacks, lunch etc. They were quite tired after a busy end of term so we just relaxed in the morning, then after lunch we had a mad game of snakes and ladders which went on for ages. We had a bit of screen time so they could play their games and I also got them to do a PE session with me so I could do some of my exercises 😀

Friday evening I went to DD2s for tea and stayed overnight. We then went to IKEA on Saturday because she needed a few bits. I finally bought some curtains and an extension lead. I have one of these extension leads upstairs and it’s also got two USB ports which is really handy and I’ve been wanting one for downstairs for months so finally got one.

Today I went back to DD1s because it was my eldest grandsons birthday so they had a birthday barbecue which was nice. Both boys were very tired though because they went to London yesterday to the Minecraft Experience which they really enjoyed.

Tomorrow I’m going to the dentist to hopefully have my tooth fixed 🤞🤞I was supposed to have it done last Monday but they cancelled it until tomorrow. It’s been until today when it started throbbing again so I took lots of painkillers which did the trick.

I still need to phone HMRC about the tax situation because I haven’t received an ESA payment yet but my payment date for other benefits is the 3rd of the month so I’m waiting to see if anything turns up then and if not I will be phoning them.
