Redsquirrel's 'Striving For Better Days' Diary

Hi squiz, yes horrible damp cold. Having a nice, warm, calvados before bed

Thanks Spud!

Sounds very nice Pepe.. just on the herbal tea here, how boring

pepe2008

the idea is to relax enough to get the full 4 hours before getting up at midnight as usual:eek:

Pepe - I don't know how you do it! Do you sleep in the day at all?

I feel a bit rubbish today, woke myself up coughing in the middle of the night and have that start of a cold feeling - sore throat, sore eyes, generally achy. I hate winter (not entirely, I like bright cold days, but I hate short days, dark mornings and colds!)

Two more days until payday, only my coppers jar to keep me going for anything I need before Thursday.. don't think I need anything though. Think the big Tesco shop will need to be done in at least two trips - I can't carry all that!

Don't get sick! Echinacea, echinacea, echinacea..... I can feel like I have a cold coming on when I've actually got a bit of an allergy attack, or recently when I'm dehydrated.

And the Tesco shop - if you do it online, you could go for a cheap delivery time and find a code on here for some money off.

Hope you manage to fight the lurgy off

Thanks - yep I think some echinacea and vitamin C might be a good idea. I'm starting to feel fuzzy headed and it's making me very grumpy, every little thing at work is getting on my nerves today

Thought about doing the shop online, it would mean waiting till sometime next week for money to be transferred onto my prepaid Visa, but might be worth doing, always a bit wary about not being able to pick my own stuff.

Still waiting for my new lease for the flat so I can send off Housing Benefit form. Been thinking about all that over the weekend and am considering putting a bit of money aside each month and maybe looking for somewhere a bit cheaper once these 6 months are up. I do like my flat, but am a bit put off by the recent problems with the bathroom, and looking around there are a few places locally for a bit less. Something to think about...

I started today that way, absolutely. I've got the ball rolling a bit now, and my mystery phone call turned out to be a breeze, so I'm just going to stick my head out the window and breathe deep in the sunshine for a mo. Got to disappear again for a couple of hours after that - don't push the future plans too hard - take care of yourself xx

redsquirrel80

don't push the future plans too hard

You are right about this, of course.. I seem to have this constant need to change things as if they'll magically make life spectacularly better I do want to keep my options open over the flat though, especially if it's going to be cheaper and/ or better. It's a while off anyway.

Feeling strange today, a few things happened yesterday involving people getting in touch with me that's stirred up lots of memories - I blame the internet, in "olden days" once you'd lost touch with someone you weren't suddenly confronted with an 'update' on their life on your screen when looking at something else.

Still got the start of a cold, almost wish it would turn into a full blown thing and I could have a few days in bed. Loads of work to do though, so it wouldn't be ideal.

hi sorry your not feeling tip top
that wouldnt be face book by any chance would it?
it gets on my nerves that peops want to add me, but i dont like em, but i dont want to ignore em!
lookin at your tesco list it seems that you shouldnt worry bout other peops picking your stuff
i shop online, all ive found is they tend to pick very small onions so get the trio of onions which are larger!
make sure you select NO substitutions, if they dont have what you want youll prob be able to carry what you need to get after
theres also a bit where you can tick NO carrier bags, you get more club card points then too
i keep the pram by the door to wheel the stuff to kitchen
i would let you borrow it but i suspect your a bit too far away
i suggest getting a big box!
well i think thats all
erm
when do i nag and what about! xxxxx

Hi Bubbles, how's it going? Hmm, Facebook and Friends Reunited, it's just weird that a few things happened at once last night. Ho hum, doesn't really change anything, and I will get my head round it all, I'm sure.

I think I will do an online shop, will get a few bits tomorrow when I get paid and then do the rest next week. I don't mind small onions! Thanks for the tips

Erm, I need nagged to stop being such a lazy cow.. not been running this week (the onset of cold sore throat thing isn't helping) and last night I was in bed for nearly 11 hours :eek:
