    There was amazing footage of a very small part of the rescue of one boy on FB earlier.
    So humbling.

    Yesterday was so boring that I didn't bother to post as the only thing that happened apat from work was my morning park walk!

    Today was my weekly Mr T shop. I spent £94 which is over budget :(. I need to go through my receipt and work out what caused the overspend.

    I got a 50p bonus from PA and a 35p survey, well every little helps :).

    Tonight we are the only people in England not watching football :rotfl:. My cousin is in the cinema and posted on FB that's he's practically the only person there :rotfl:.

    I'm going to have an early night because I've got volunteering tomorrow morning.

    I spent £8.95 buying a get well card and chocolates for my mum and posting them first class. She fell over in the night and hurt herself and is in a lot of pain :( so I want her to get them as soon as possible to cheer her up.

    I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday :).

    Thanks Beanie. She had an Xray and nothing is broken but she seems to have a couple of discs in her back looking odd, so they want her to have an MRI to investigate. They said it was caused by an old injury. That could explain her regular back pain. I hope they can do something.

    I hope they can do something too. I've been waiting for nerve ablation for over a year (basically burning nerves with a laser) !

    I am disconsolate - my hero Roger Federer lost !!!

    Thanks Cumbria :). DS2 seems to be okay but he's being a bit cagey this week, so we've no idea what he's been doing apart from learning spanish!
