The frugaleers jovially jostle their way into June July and joyfulness

ta da!

Sinus things are horrible. Take care and rest up

That's a bit odd Em. I think I'd ask a GP about that. It's not something that they'd be able to diagnose immediately probably but it would be worth starting a dialogue about it and maybe keeping a symptom diary.

I'm also putting it down to maybe coming off the pill. Things haven't been settled body wise for a while.

I seem to be prone to sinus infections when I'm stressed and rundown.

Cross posted with you, Em and didn't see your post. Hope you are feeling better.

Has anyone on tax credits ever tried to get a same year calculation done? Do you just phone up and ask? Last time I tried it went wrong so wondered if there was a trick to it.

1st pay check since my new hours and it's a bit of a surprise.

The cat place near us have lots suitable for us as a family it's £85 apparently which I know Dh will say is steep but I feel much more comfort in getting one from a rescue centre than someone on fb

Thunder storm here again.

Em hope you recover swiftly.

That's lovely. It'll be neutered and vaccinated, hopefully microchipped, for that though.

Yes it will! Just waiting for them to phone me back so we can arrange a visit. I think thy close soon though so might not get a call today I am the most impatient person in the world!

wreck oooh a cat!! Love cats. You are lucky!!

We're going to have a look tomorrow

I'd love a cat. Sadly, allergies make that not an option.

You know you're going to have to post pictures, right?

Yes I will definitely take photos! Someone at work is really allergic but she still has cats she says every time she kisses them her lips swell up

Not quite that allergic, but it sets my asthma off.

I think I'd stop kissing mine if my lips swelled up.

Dh has to use two inhalers now we have the cat.

Hi all, sorry to hear you are feeling ropey Em it might be hormonal - going onto the pill always makes me feel like crap so coming off I guess could have similar symptoms.

Wreck yay to getting a cat, mine cost me a fortune and are no end of worry but they are so worth it!! £85 for a cat this neutered, vaccinated and chipped is actually quite cheap, it cost at least £100 to do all that for each of mine.

Soooo I have been at my new house all afternoon we have been very busy, my lovely dm has been busy sorting the garden out and shipping stuff across. My equally lovely df has been busy putting boards down in the loft so I can use it for storage. I have been sorting out the garden and packing/unpacking. Its all fab, it was the first time my df had seen the house and he was really impressed

Am really tired now and still so much to do, ahh well will have a first.

Have been very good recently and not had any spends other than food or petrol, as far as I can remember, since getting back from Menorca

Yey girlie. And girlie parents.
Hope an afternoon in bed helped em. You have had a pretty full on life lately

He hasn't squashed your insulation has he?. Fil boarded their loft after British Gas lagged it throughout & then they wondered why the house was no warmer and the bills stayed high.

You need solid insulation for boarded lofts.

Currys off. I forgot to buy both the fresh ginger and garlic. Chicken in slightly spiced onion sauce didn't really appeal to either of us

Yay girlie! I love your parents too they sound fab.

Oh no fluffy I was looking forward to hearing about the curry.

Exciting girlie. Have nice cup of and put your feet up for a bit.

That's exactly the sort of thing I'd do Fluffy. I probably manage it about once a fortnight

feeling much better.

re-registered for netflix and have spent the afternoon on bed watching Pretty Little liars.

have drunk loads of water and have had a nap.

girlie lovely parents! i hope the new house is everything you dreamed of and more! xx

Depressing isn't it Rafa? Just when I think I'm a proper got my shit together adult.

Pleased you are already enjoying your new house girlie and exciting about a cat wreck. My rescue cat it purring on my lap as I type!
fluffy it won't help you for now but I buy massive pieces of fresh ginger and cut it into portions then freeze. It peels more easily when frozen and I always have a supply. I also mince it up in the blender with garlic and chillies then freeze that in tiny portions for curries and stir fries.
Have managed a NSD. On a Saturday! Pleased with that.

My favourite one is when I look up a new recipe, and then go out specifically to buy ingredients for it and come back without half of them.

The fact that the local tesco metro that's in walking distance stocks a large range of pointless stuff but often doesn't have basic stuff doesn't really help. The large range of American produce is not much use when you want ginger or curry paste.

Rafa I never read recipes properly so I am usually missing an ingredient or I start cooking it half an hour before dinner time and then find out it has to cook for 3 hours or something!

Dd just said 'mummy I had some of your drink because I thought it was water but it wasn't it was fizzy and I didn't like it' (it was cider )
