A lovely day was had today. I went to DD2s for lunch and finally got my roast dinner I was supposed to have a couple of weeks ago 😀it was well worth waiting for. I took dessert which was a raspberry trifle from M&S and it was yummy .
I walked into town then caught the bus to DDs from there so I've had another 30 minute walk today
I got home around 6ish and took B straight out for her evening walk then I came back and had a nice shower and put my pjs on. I am really tired so I think I will end up having an early night. I'm also typing one handed because my shoulder is hurting a lot. It was hurting this morning but I took some painkillers and to be fair it's been ok all day so they have definitely worn off now but I don't want to take any until it's nearer bedtime otherwise they will wear off overnight. The rest of of me feels ok though so that's a bonus 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944 -

I had a good nights sleep last night 🎉🎉 so woke up raring to go. My first job of the day was to give B a bath which she didn't appreciate. I had to sit down then for a bit to recover because it's a faff to do. I need to clean the bathroom now but I sprayed it with mould remover so was waiting for that to do it's thing. I've washed all her bedding so everything is nice and fresh.
I also decided to have a look on Amazon for things like wash powder and fabric conditioner as I have trouble carrying these things home. I bought a 5 litre bottle of each and a pack of three washing up liquids so that should last me a good while and no carrying it home on the bus 🎉🎉🎉. I did treat myself to ecover so more than I pay in Sainsburys but I do like to try and use environmentally friendly products when I can 😊 I just need to make room for it in the cupboard now 😂😂

To Well I didn't end up doing the things I wanted to do today because I had to bath B which sets off a chain reaction of jobs afterwards. I gave the bathroom a good clean but had to hoover every where because when she has a bath she gets hair all over the house. She goes a bit fluffy so when you dry her her fur flies around. She smells off Johnson's No More Tears Baby Shampoo now. I also noticed her eyes needed cleaning so I put cotton wool balls in warm water and bathed her eyes. She isn't talking to me now as she hates having a bath 😂
I also had a panic this afternoon when I realised I had run out of biscuits 😳😫😳so I decided to make some peanut butter cookies. I didn't end up making them though because I remembered I had sultanas so I made some Rock Cakes. I last made these at school I think 😀they turned out really nicely. I really should bake more often rather than buying processed stuff.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944
