Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

I know Beanie...it brought it home to me when I re-read some texts I'd sent to my friend who is the teacher from work last night - just after I'd told the kids they were moving me to a different hospital and I was going to have spinal surgery and maybe be transferred again to a hospital that specialises in cancer....scary times I don't ever want to return to...I really have come a long way and will be forever grateful to the doctors for deciding to treat me concervatively after the results of the 2nd MRI scan rather than rushing me into the surgery they'd talked about.

Can't get my head around slimming world at the moment but I need to - will someone give me a virtual kick up the backside.

I went to B&M on my way home from work and bought some compost to plant some heritage tomatoes, courgettes and some blue and white bedding plants. A dangerous time of year for me as one of my weaknesses was (is) buying plants. So giving the seeds a go :money:

My cc statement should be here in a day or so and I can do some number crunching and hopefully pay it off in full.

Just waiting for my friend to come around for a cuppa and fill me in on funeral details for her dad who passed away with dementia....I'm hoping I can shuffle my hours around to attend.

Had a bit of a busy week . I've spent a lot of time with my friend - there's not a lot I can do but I visited the cemetery with her for her mums birthday to take flowers ........its quite bizarre - her mum died when she was 16, my mum died when I was 18 so there was over 2 years between both mums passing yet their graves are on the same row of a well used, big cemetery 20 spaces from each other which is the exact number of doors we lived from each other when we were kids.....that fact has always fascinated me....anyway she is a dutiful daughter who puts flowers on her mums grave at every opportunity whereas I can't remember the last time I visited but both my mum and dad are in my thoughts most days - in fact if I hadn't have been with my friend I'm not sure I'd have found it......how bad is that! Anyway she was happy to put said flowers on the grave before her dads funeral which is another 2 weeks away!!!!! Is it just my town or are funerals taking longer and longer - this is the 2nd person since Christmas and both have had to wait 4 weeks for the funeral - it's cruel and just drags everything leaving the families in limbo....
Phew - that was a bit of a long winded story that I hadn't planned to write.

MSE news is I've had my cc statement - not a pretty sight with new handbag and extra spends I'd not planned. I'll need to wait for payday to number shuffle and see if this month is the month or if it's going to drag on yet another month. This month shouldn't have excessive spends though. I really hope I can do it.

Another thing on my cc that I hadn't planned was a deposit for dh birthday present . He is 65 this year and it's our 40th wedding anniversary and I've put a deposit on a collectors item I know he'll love to do with his railway. Far more than I'd usually spend but it's a bit of a special year and he'll be surprised and hopefully thrilled with it - it will do for both celebrations. It should appreciate in value too so if we ever get in the mire financially it can be sold......I've just got to pay for it and hide it until his birthday in November - getting excited at the thought and smug I thought of it .

I've been back at work too. 3 1/2 mornings last week. 3 mornings plus dinner time this week and 1 full day - we break up Thursday then when we go back 3/4 of my hours and full time the following week. I've been fine although my leg has a wobble in the playground if I stand still too long so I need to keeper moving.
