    It's Monday already, feeling a bit weird, this time last year I ended up in a and e and then being admitted with an abess on my tooth ended up being there 5 days. It's was a very painful experience and the infection cleared up fairly quickly but it took me weeks to recover. And I feel a bit weird about it all. It already happened over the anniversary of my sisters passing (4 years tomorrow) so it's akways a bit if a funny time for me. I feel like hiding away!!

    Anyhow, today has to be a quiet day because I'm waiting in for the new oven. 
    And DD is poorly so no taxiing around today. Except to nip out to the craft shop!

    My bank accounts are in a very sorry state! 
    I definetly need to increase my funds coming in. 
    The self employed with is just not enough! 
    I have seen 1 things I really like to look if, but it's full time and I dint know how that would work due 2 reasons, I think I would not cope physically working full time, my energy levels are pretty low and then there's DD! I need to get her using the bus, which may if may not happen!! 
  • Sold a car stereo fire my mum for £45 so that's just been posted off. She will be pleased when I tell her. 
    Still waiting for the oven, the latest Ed update is after 3pm!

    morning,
    Oven turned up about 3.30. OH didnt arrive home from work until 6.40. I had hoped we would get chips from the chippy but noone seemed to be in agreement, so OH sorted out the electrics and then we tested it out with frozen pizzas! So cheaper than the chippy, but it meant we didnt eat until after 8pm.
    Anyhow it seems ok, not sure its as good as previous, but all new things take a while to get used to. And the timer settings are defiently going to take some time to get used to!

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    The oven is OK! Will just take a bit of getting used to. I will get a seperate timer. I really can't cook anything without a timer!! 
    I'm OK! Just about. I had a lovely msg on fb from one of my sisters nests friends, and it's nice to stay in touch with them x
