Hello Frugals !
Janet I bet your caregiver would love to put up the tree for you and string the lights If you asked them, hope so anyway.
Logics , your room sounds lovely with the lights on............I notice you all in the US do put your trees up a lot earlier than us Brits. Envious !!!!
Jackie , I would be at the Craft Fair in a heartbeat, its cheap entertainment, figure it by the hour, far cheaper than going to the cinema or the theatre. ENJOY.
DH food shopped at Sparrowfart O'clock cos that is how he rolls. He returned with 2 chickens and some chicken breasts as Yellow Stickers. Well done , that man. I have created a Yellow Sticker monster, methinks.
Big breakfast for us all. NOT eating the sausages DH bought ( flavoured with honey and lemon ???????) The DGKS will eat them but not for me. I took DS out early so as not to stress him for the items he felt he must have. Went to BOOTS for the toiletries as had coupons which gave me £4 in points. Spent £17.50 worth of POINTS for another Christmas gift for oldest DS girlfriend. FREE gifts are good
Then on to take DS shopping for clothes. ( You and he have to be in the mood for this , just sayin') His stress levels were down, he knew he NEEDED that coat and so it went reasonably well. A decent, flattering coat ( remember his hunched back ) and hat. He then saw scarves and gloves which I was delighted to buy as they matched so he looks well dressed. Final purchase was a Christmas jumper patterned with small rudolphs. then HOME.
And BREATHE.
I/We had done some investigating re the alleged attack and I have some answers. Some thinsg I just can't post for privacy reasons. There are changes that have been put in place and set in stone. The person dealing with them is someone we trust implicitly.
Something that struck me on the forum was that you here know him better than some of the RANDOM CARERS that are inflicted on us. I thought your comments, IC Frugal were particularly perceptive and correct. That was NOT like him , he does do certain thinsg but I would question if he were even physically able to do what they allege. He moves extremely slowly because of his back pain.
He is here muttering away. DH has had to be elsewhere overnight. We aren't concerned as DS has had all his needs met and we don't need to leave the house. And we may well not bother.
Laundry done, housework basics all DONE. I might tackle the tedious extra stuff or just potter myself.
It snowed a little this week which was a surprise ! Its warm and cosy, I have no meal plans other than DS boring basics enlivened with flavoured teas and hot chocolates.
This week NO SPEND as run out of points to spend. DH and I both want lose a few pounds before Christmas so dull plain meals. Lots of work hours. DH and I might go see Midway or Le Mans using our vouchers but otherwise a quiet week.
