A fairly hectic weekend with phone calls and hospital visits. No improvement in mum. She was moved to Cornhill on Friday then two hours later shipped back to Foresterhill as they weren't convinced her diabetes was under control. Hopefully she will move this week.
I spoke to the Psychiatric Doctor at Foresterhill who thought she would make a full recovery form any brain damage that was done. Last night me and Dave weren't so sure as she seems happy to be in hospital, happy to be going to Cornhill, and very confused. I also found out today she has been on anti-depression tablets for the last few days.
Saturday saw my horse Mon Mome winning the Grand National at 100/1. i only picked it 'cause i thought it sounded like C'mon Mum. Shame I only stuck £1 e/w on but the £127 will come in handy.
While doing my mums finances last week I realised it was something I haven't addressed properly in my own life. This blog was originally set up to address the issues of my life I wanted to change, and finance was one of them.
This weekend I went through my finances. What a mess. Not so much the debt I am in but how unorganised I have been. I will sit down and work out a reasonable budget. I will then address the changes I need to make. For example, my utilities need to be changed. I am sure I am paying far too much for my gas and electricity. My mobile phone is up for renewal, so i can change that to a cheaper tariff. I should have been on top of these but haven't. I dread to think how much I have wasted over the years, but no more. I have also been thinking of ways to make savings and to make it fun. One I thought of was music. I am a big music fan but know there is a saving to be made. So I am going to challenge myself to not spend any money on music this year, without illegally downloading music. So all my music must come from Free downloads, gifts and also from any trade i can do. For example, if i sold something on Ebay, then traded that for music. I think i can make a go of this, as i love listening to new music, and a lot of that is now free through downloads as promotion of there material. Lets see how i get on.
I weighed myself today but no difference form last week. No surprise there as this week past has been a bit hectic and my meals haven't been organised, which usually means eating more crap than what is good for me. But i have the garage cleared and tonight will be my first proper kettlebell session. I have had some swings but tonight will be more organised sticking to a routine.
