Absolutely exhausted today so had a lazy day, luckily it was dry so have caught up with my washing. Went with my dad to see my mum who is looking frailer and tinier by the day.
So in today’s impulse buys I bought a blender for smoothies and shakes, it was reduced in Mr S to £8 despite the fact the model down was about £25. I am justifying it as it’s less than a bottle of wine and I can make myself some protein iced coffee drinks for work.
Ms S was out for hours and hissed at me when I tried to help her down off the fence so hopefully she is ok and hasn’t had a fight or tumble. She has eaten and taken herself off upstairs - probably resting up in readiness for waking me at 4am😩

Account balance now showing in the twenties🎉🎉🎉🎉
I had great plans of getting lots of things on vinted over the next week but appear to have overstretched myself and I am not sure when I will have time! Setting myself a more realistic goal of ten items for the week. I am going to be doing a fair bit of overtime next week so don’t want to feel pressured.
