First of all an apology for my long absence from my blog. As soon as I get two new followers I go AWOL so a big welcome to Deb S and Janipi P :)
I have had no blogging mojo at all for the last four weeks, I'm afraid. My energy levels have been low and everything apart from day to day living has been an effort. I got the results back from all my tests; kidneys, liver function, ovaries, and thyroid. None of them showed any worrying results, thank goodness, so I still have no idea exactly what has floored me. I feel a little better today apart from a headache so I need to soldier on and make sure I eat healthily in order to get my strength back (pause for some paracetamol....)
We managed to get through last month on a very tight budget although the bank account was squeaky by the end of the month. There was just £9.48 left in my own account by the end of the third week and the annoying thing was that I couldn't withdraw £5 from that at any of the cash machines I tried...grrr... in the end I managed without by combing the house for every last bit of change. Every handbag, pocket and potential hiding place was searched. Boy was I glad when 1st September arrived! The downside of this month is that it is now officially meteorological Autumn and it's getting colder. Chilly mornings have meant that I have allowed the heating to click on (it's set at 13 degrees ) just for half an hour to make the start of the day a bit more welcoming. We have not had an LPG top up since May so I feel justified in using a bit of what we have saved to warm us up first thing. The heating is not needed in the evening as we can put the electric fire on if necessary and we tend to have a hot meal around 5.30pm which, in itself, warms us up. I have brought out my fleecy blanket to snuggle into as I watch TV. OH has always laughed at me when I use it but he actually shared it a couple of night ago when his legs were cold :D
I have been watching the news of hurricane Irma, the devastation, the flooding and the heartache. My own heart aches for the people caught up in the storms. We are so, so lucky here.......
Stay warm and safe wherever you happen to be in the world. God bless you all xx
