Oh dear, Sassy does it again
miscalculation of the finances and I'm skint till a week on Thursday
The important bits are all paid, rent, car tax and food for the week, but, I was also planning on paying for Charlottes bridesmaid dress, which I now can't do
And stupid Sassy here forgot to account for petrol and food for next week too
So yeah, Sassy is in the doo doo
I'm sure M can lend me some money, he always offers, but then it just puts me in catch-up when I do get paid as I'll have to pay him back aswell as get the petrol and food for the coming fortnight too, so it doubles
M pays 410 of the 475 a month rent, plus he pays all the household bills like leccy and water etc, so it's not as if he's making me pay for food or anything, that was our agreement, I would pay 65 of the rent, and get the food for us all each week, the rest he covers, so paying him back is a must, he can't afford to get anything else on top of what he's already paying.
It's the car tax that's stung me, 92 bloomin quid, it's only once every 6 months, but this was the month I didn't need the outlay, but then again, I think every month I don't need a 92 quid outlay lol
It'll come good, always does, I just feel like a pillock for miscalculating everything, but at least the important stuff is paid for
I'm just thinking of Nigels life philosophy and not letting it get to me, I'm keeping optimistic, I've been in worse situations with money
Work was a long old haul today, did my longest shift ever there, a 7am start till 3pm, I usually do 9 or 10am till 3, so my feetsies are sore, I got some new shoes for work a few weeks ago, but with my time off and I've been sent home early alot lately I'm still not used to them
Charlotte has her physiotherapy appointment tomorrow, for some odd reason I didn't post about her hospital appointment just over a week ago
Charlotte has alot of pain in her ankle after walking for a little while, it sometimes gets into her knee and hip too, and I noticed when she walked her ankles sort of lean in
The doctor at the hospital diagnosed her with flat feet, basically her arches haven't developed yet.
She's having special innersouls made to put in her shoes to help support her foot, and tomorrow's physiotherapy appointment is going to teach us some exercises she can do at home to help strengthen her feet and (hopefully) ease her pain somewhat.
The doctor said he didn't want Charlotte to get the idea that something was "wrong" with her, so it'll be this one physiotherapy appointment, and the rest is at home, and then there will be periodic visits back to the hospital to see how her arches are progressing.
My brothers 4 year old daughter Ashleigh also has flat feet, and I have alot of arch pain too, my P.E teacher from school always told me I had "fallen arches" so I'm wondering if it's a family thing, when my mum walks her ankles lean in just like Charlottes I noticed the other day..hmm can flat feet be hereditary?
Anyway, that's me for now, got some food shopping to unpack!
