Get a grip !

Thanks Helena

I've had another email and have now activated my online account and the transfer should go through on 6 December so all is going well


Yesterday I went to aldi and when I got to the till I realised I had over £30 of shopping and couldn't remember my pin for my new credit card or my new Halifax card :eek: Thankfully I still had my old credit card so I paid with that and now I will need to transfer £54 from my Halifax current account to pay it off. I am glad I kept the old card "in case of emergencies" lol. Could have been very embarrassing ! I have now memorised the Halifax pin, but I cant find the new credit card pin ... will have to sort out the pile of paperwork in the living room !

Yesterday we booked puppy into vets to be spayed (neutered) on 1 December. She will be 6 months old ! Where has the time gone ... she was 8 weeks old when we got her. Its a day operation and she should be home late afternoon if all goes well with the anaesthetic. I have booked the day off work as I don't think I would be able to concentrate.

Good Morning Bright day, blue sky and sunshine but boy is it cold !! Had doc appointment this morning at 7.45 had to de-ice the car brrrr. He has doubled my medication to try and bring my condition under control and diagnosed eustachian tube dysfunction too, another one to add to the list lol. Have been suffering with ears popping, pain & deafness for weeks and its all linked to the other problem so no treatment as such as it should clear up once the other problem does !


Have just got back from puppy walk. Training disks recommended by puppy class trainers were ordered from amaxon & arrived yesterday £10 and they are working really well.


Did a shop in morresons yesterday for milk & bread & a few bits and bobs for over the weekend. We avoided takeaway last night and had beef madras with a jar from aldee and nan breads. Tonight is enchiladas with a box on offer £2 bought a few weeks ago in co-op & roast chicken for tomorrow with chicken bought in aldee at beginning of the week. Am trying not to buy any more food before payday apart from maybe milk & salad.


One load of washing just finishing and will try and get another done too. If you are sheltered in the sun outside its quite warm now.

I haven't really used the dryer much but I did have the heating on a lot yesterday, it was so cold and I could not get warm. Today has been a bit warmer so the heating has been off all day. I got 2 loads of washing done and mostly dried, just the jeans and DS's jogging bottoms finishing on airers.


Have been looking through my budget and from next month Virgin media, mortgage and gas/electric are all going up. Only a few pounds each but it all adds up. I have calculated I should have £285 left in my bank account by payday, of which £125 was money from the Halifax for switching my current account. I will keep £40 to get my hair done and the rest £245 will be paid off the 0% credit card.


Today I have done some sewing and fixed another of my bras where the underwire was poking through. I am going to have to invest in some new ones soon as I have lost so much weight. I already replaced my pants as the old ones kept falling down :rotfl:

Went to puppy class last night spent £13 on an antler for puppy to chew. She has bitten a hole in her bed and just about every "indestructable" toy we have bought her.

My share of profits arrived from coop and I have earned a £5 off voucher from using my membership card. I will probably use it on stocking filler chocolates for DS.

We are home for Xmas this year DS is working Xmas eve and New Year's Eve. He did Xmas day and New Year's Day last year. I will be doing a dinner so will need to start thinking about food.
