Thank god we paid the mortgage off

I agree with beanie - slippers are an absolute must.  And to be pounced on.  I've just recently had the fandango of trying to get slippers for LG - almost impossible to find 'slippers' for kids that aren't mock 'huge feet' (guaranteed to trip you up on the stairs), or made from slippy materials, or some version of a clog, which slip off as easily as they slip on 🙄

I have funny feet and recently got what I thought was the perfect pair with a strap. Unfortunately the soles were so slippy they ended up in the recycling. Bah. I hate wasting money.

Was very excited this morning as we were having the new hoist fitted. Unfortunately the mother company has ordered the wrong part and the underlings couldn’t fit it. So unsure as to what the youngest is going to do about college now. Very disappointed as it could take up to 6 weeks to rectify.

That sounds like a right royal pain in the bahookie @ladybird1106, forgive my ignorance was the hoist a mobile one or something else.....?

It’s a hoist that is fitted in the car, so we can transport the youngest’s wheelchair teapot2.

What a shame theres to be such a long wait now and your youngest will miss out on college for that time presumably 😔

The youngest is going to attempt using the bus for the next couple weeks teapot2. This will inevitably have a massive toll on their fatigue levels, but it’s what they want to do at the moment. Hoist company have been in touch and have quoted an additional £890 for an actual hoist that will do the job😤. 
Have been ill🤢 again but this time seems to be linked to something I’ve eaten. Not got a lot done. Hopefully today I can pick up the pace and get jobs done before the snow arrives. Trip to the allotment, pick up olio requests, sm shopping and look at getting a DAB radio with my Christmas money from mum. I’ve been given strict instructions to spend it on something I want and not let it be absorbed into the food/house budget. 

A skeleton watch I had on the bay has been returned, so relisted as broken and could be used as parts or disassembled and made into a unique piece of jewellery. Wish I had the skill to do this myself. Maybe if it doesn’t sell I’ll have a go. Perhaps there is a YouTube video I could watch 🧐. 

This afternoon I need to do some housework 🤨 and cooking( granola). Need to target an area for a 15 min decluttering and spend 15 minutes of uploading items to selling sitesas well. Decided to take this approach to stop me feeling really overwhelmed by the amount that needs doing.
 Funpot was decimated on holiday, Mr🐞 has received £30 cashback from cc, so took that out in physical money. A good start to the year. 

Right best get to it.

The hoist company are so out of order.

I love that way of tackling things 🐞 15 minutes here or there. I sometimes set a timer to motivate myself too, or put a record on that I know lasts a set amount of time. 

I've recently bought some fluffy cr0cs for at home and wear those instead of slippers, they're so cozy! Non slip too, I have a bit of a fear of slippers as the last pair I had I slipped over with 🙈🙄 so these work well as an alternative.

@ladybird1106 the hoist company is totally out of order.  I know you have an awful lot on, but compensation is on the cards in my view.  Have they suggested it, perchance?! I think your MP could help.   Love Humdinger xx

So yesterday the hoist was ordered, however the quote was wrong by £300🤨. Luckily they’d over estimated, so balance of £560 is paid. I queried the advisor (🤣) several times that they are sending the correct part out and they have ordered the correct additional lifting system they assured me they have. I queried due to the obvious issue but also because the person I was talking to had a)been the one who ordered the wrong part and b) they were also the one who issued the wrong quote. So we will wait and see. Humdinger1 I have already started the complaint in my head in preparation🤣. 

The youngest was buzzing yesterday when they got in as they had been to their volunteer placement (local charity shop) that the college has organised. Absolutely loved it🥳. We’re hoping if it’s a success they will let they continue next year maybe one or two afternoons a week. 

Mr🐞 also buzzing really enjoying his first week at work. A couple of sites they went to work on he was able to tell them when things were planted etc, as he’d done the work. 

So yesterday I managed to go and get bird supplies, local birds are foo fooing the red fat blocks. So went and got the normal ones, picky Bloomin birds🤣. Popped to Beam as they seem to be the cheapest at the moment. Will crush the others up and feed it to the ducks at the local lake. Then picked up olio requests ( bread) , sm shop (£47.34) ,collected my Christmas present from mum (DAB radio), used natures gym(free exercise), collected free books from the local book swap box and went the the plot to harvest psb and sprouts. Popped to see my lovely friend who has just come out of hospital after breaking their ankle. Just waiting to hear what caused the break ( they have cancer) 🤞it’s nothing serious. 

Relaxing evening listening to the radio and reading a free book🥳. 

Today we have the white stuff, so gearing my self up to getting miss giddychops out. College is cancelled, so will probably support the youngest to tidy their room. Need to phone the hospital to inform them the youngest medication has worked 🥳. Need to make an appointment to make a will and set up a trust fund as part of it. Need to look at POA as well.
Right best get to it. Stay safe and hugs to those that need it.

Love 🐞
