A frugal life is an easy life!

A typical Monday, everything everywhere. It started early - 6am - sprog1 was due at hospital for an outpatients appointment, had bad guts most of the night, very tired.

Got to the hospital just in time for his appointment, 7.30am, sat down and waited with sprog1 until he was finally called at 50 minutes late. On the way home, looking at all the traffic jams - over 2 miles long - going the other way (how many hours do people waste sat in traffic each week?) as the rat race continued it's winding tail over the hills.
Got back to hoover towers, sprog1 texted me to say he was taken to yet another waiting room (where he would stay for another 2 hours!) in my infinate wisdom, I decided to try some toast... a bad idea.
I ended up missing work and going back to bed!

Mother nature has a brilliant way of telling the body to stop, it aint clever nor pretty, but very effective!

After a few hours sleep I was woken up with the message sprog1 was ready to be picked up. More water was drunk and I nipped off to get him. He came out fine with a little patch on his wound, which gradually increased in pain as we got nearer to home. As you would expect from a 21 year old... it is amazing how pain increases the closer to someone sympathetic they get!
Pain killers taken and a quick bite to eat and he's straight to bed.
Sprog2 (The almost 10 week old) has been in a good mood today, sleeping for a couple of hours at a time.
There's a bit of a discussion in our house about feeding - Hoover is getting worried about feeding more and more, I just keep making the point that as sprog2 is getting bigger and taking more milk, it will take hoover a bit of time to catch up with producing extra.
I am not sure she agrees with me... we shall see.

Things still to do today:
Two payment protection (PPI) refund letters to write - one for us, one for a friend of the site.
Write out an official letter to a car dealership.
Go to our nearest post office and tax a car.
Put another load of washing and drying in.
Then we can rest up for the day me thinks.... oh and total amount spent today: £1.80 for hospital parking.
