not workingOctober 25th, 2020 at 01:28 am3 times I have tried to blog and it just disappears..so frustrating no glasses neededOctober 14th, 2020 at 04:09 amhad an eye appointment yesterday, was sure I would need glasses as my eyes have been really bad lately, only need them for reading but my eyesight has been blurry and my eyes real sore...so they run some tests on them..and it turns out that my eyes are really really dry...and the fat that is in my eyelids doent move around like it should because of that...so I have to put a warm heatpack on my eyes for 5 mins 3 times a day and put in a drop 3 times a day...started last night (done twice) and my eyes are already starting to feel a little better..but I didn't need new glasses so had no expenses for the appointment. buying a house 2022October 10th, 2020 at 12:31 pmI think it looks like we will be going to buy a house around jan/feb 2022....if we have to move in feb 21 then we will end up with a 12 month lease...it is expensive to get out of a lease here so we will...just wait and keep saving for those 16 months...I'm sure that time will be here in no time...will also get more of a deposit so that will be nice more savingsOctober 9th, 2020 at 10:14 amWas able to put another $2000 into our house account today due to some extra money...so it is getting there.. thinking about US taxesOctober 8th, 2020 at 12:55 amWell we still haven't heard about the taxes...so I'm thinking why bother doing them at all...sure we pay taxes and usually get a small refund but is it worth the hassle...we don't know if they even have them, we can't contact people over there...seriously how much trouble will we get in for not doing them..its only federal taxes and we will most likely save them money as they won't have to give us a refund...I'm kind of over the US tax system...I know they have been shut down and doing a lot...but we can't do it online we have to do it by mail...and we haven't heard in 6 months whether or not they have them...or if we have to resend them...it seems like a complete lack of professionalism on their part and to make it where you can't even enquire is just wrong...so maybe we just won't do them anymore!! What pandemic?October 6th, 2020 at 03:18 amIt is funny watching the news and see how rampant the virus is in other countries...our country freaks out at one state that was having several hundred cases a day..they went into lockdown...and now are averaging around 15 but still in lockdown a few things have changed but not many for most other states we have lived a normal life everything has been back to normal for months..we still sanatize everything and social distance...but not much else...we haven't had any cases for months...except the people returning to australia but they are taking off planes and taken to a covid hotel...where they have to quarantine for 14 days..if they test positive then they stay there until they test negative...they can' leave their rooms..food etc is delivered...so it doesn't spread...I know we have not many people have died compared to some countries like we have had in our country 894 people have died and 804 have been in one state...but mostly in people over 70 years old... October alreadyOctober 4th, 2020 at 10:18 amCan't believe it is october already...It was pay week this week and we have paid all bills and have money put into our home account...only need $35,462 now for our deposit..sounds like a lot but it is coming down each month...hoping to put some more in there during the month. taxes 2020September 25th, 2020 at 02:38 pmWell it is almost october and we still haven't heard about our taxes..they haven't been done...or they didn't receive them...who knows...we can't find out..before long it will be time to do them again and just wondering if the same thing will happen next year...just wish they would answer a phone or if there was someway we could find out if they had them...just want it done and dusted!! musingsSeptember 22nd, 2020 at 05:23 amMy moms vaccuum stopped working about 7 months ago while she was living with family...they used it and then it wouldn't work...so old her we would look at it..so took it home blew it all out clean..took it apart and cleaned it...and ordered her a new brush as hers had new brstles..got it in today put it back together andit works perfectly...so her dyson was fixed for $35...so glad we don't have to replace the whole thing. need $37500September 20th, 2020 at 12:36 pmI have decided that this is how much I want to save in the next 18 months..for our house deposit..will be tight but that is our goal and something to work towards...hopefully we can do it...but we all need goals right!! maybe sme answersSeptember 19th, 2020 at 02:34 amHad a good chat with my doctor...they are thinking that maybe a lotof my symptoms are stress and anxiety...not the dizziness but the rest of them...so they want to send me to a pyschologist who also does yoga...I will try anything at this point...it kind of make sense but since I don't feel stressed or anxious..then I just didn't think of it...and I'm not sure how to destress when I don't feel stressed so I'm hoping she will help...as I said I will try anything at this point...would be nice if that is all it is... ready for a new weekSeptember 13th, 2020 at 04:26 amWell we are ready for a new week...last week was a doozy!! ThankyouSeptember 9th, 2020 at 03:49 amThankyou everyone for your kind wishes on the passing of my dad...I am doing really well with it considering..he didn't want a funeral or memorial so we didn't bother to travel the 7 hours there...we talked to him the day before he died and to me I was ok with that being my goodbye to him...my oldest went to the beach that night and said her goodbyes..so we are all doing ok...we sent flowers to his wife..its weird he is being creamated on the same day we are moving my mom..that feels a bit strange...so all good on that front terrible way to start the weekSeptember 7th, 2020 at 06:32 amHad a bbq yesterday for fathers day...I ended up so sick it was ridiculous hubby was ready to take back to the er...was only there a few days ago so I said wait...and I eventually got a little better...I almost forgot to call my dad as I was to sick..and I thought I should just do it tomorrow...but I ended up calling him..afterall it was fathers day and even though I was sick my gut just told me to do it...so I did he didn't sound well and hasn't since he had a couple strokes a few months back...but we all had a quick chat to him and then let him get off the phone...well we got a call late this morning he has had a heart attack and was heading to the hospital...then got a call that he had passed...so now I am sitting here so sad that we haven't been able to visit him due to the virus...and we will never see him again...but also so glad that I did listen to my gut and call him and got to speak with him on his last fathers day...In a way it was a relief..my dad was never sick and always active (he was 87) until his strokes which made it hard for him to do things and he hated not being able to move around much...so I know that he is happier and that he lived a full life..and that he will always be remembered and loved..not a way to start the week so hopefully the rest of the week gets better...its the first time we have had someone in our family die in 25 years I think we are all a bit unsure of what we should be doing...but one day at a time..right! mom's budgetSeptember 6th, 2020 at 03:47 amWell today is fathers day so we are having a small bbq witth hubby and his son just a quiet one since we are all recovering. paid into house depositSeptember 5th, 2020 at 10:29 amPut $1250 into our house acct so now up to $13,233 busy weekSeptember 4th, 2020 at 01:28 pmIt has been a hell of a week..earlier in the week my hubbys son ended up in the er...all is okay and he went home later that day...then today I ended up in the ER again for the 2nd time in a month...they still can't figure out what is wrong so it is a work in progress. september alreadySeptember 1st, 2020 at 06:36 amI know this has been a really weird year with all the covid stuff going on but I still find this year has been flying by and now its september...it is pay week this week and still deciding what I need to do..will probably help my mom out a bit, my daughter needs help paying for her course and I still need to get money back ito our ice acct...I just have been to busy to work on the budget right now...and now I have to work on my moms budget as well...and now we have to try and find someone to move my mom...usually we would do it but none of us are capable right now...but still have a week to figure it out...fingers crossed it goes smoothly!! beautiful dayAugust 28th, 2020 at 07:29 amSuch a beautiful spring day today...although its not spring till next week we have had such cold wet weather that it has been so nice to get outside, do some yardwork and just some fresh air...also took the dog for a walk and started to spring clean the house...feels so good...and finally feeling good after a few days of having to be in bed. just a catch upAugust 26th, 2020 at 01:06 pmhave been feeling pretty crappy lately since I ended up in hospital lots of dizziness and pain..but yesterday I went with my daughter and mom to buy mom some new furniture for her move in a couple weeks, I bought her a new bed base as she is on a limited income and I thought she deserved it...she has bought a new lounge suite and washer, and I have also bought some non perishable foods for her and we will do a bigger shop once she is moved but this just covers her when she moves in..she literally has a grocery store right across the road from her house..so that is handy...but yesterday I went down hill and my daughter had to take me home and then her and my mom finished up their shopping after that...now today my mom is dizzy...not sure why so hopefully she can get some answers.. great way to end the weekAugust 21st, 2020 at 09:27 amGot a house for my mom to rent today...have been looking for 6 months and we finally got one today..so excited..so have been doing emails and paperwork all day to get things done..she doesn't move for 3 weeks but we have a date and everything pretty much ready to go so she will be packing up the rest of her stuff and we will move the money on monday (its friday here and late in the afternoon)..we are all so excited. payday tomorrowAugust 19th, 2020 at 03:29 amIts payday tomorrow but going to transfer some money and do the shopping today since we have a few errands to run...that way we save on a trip and don't have to go out in public as much...although it isn't bad here it is still flu season and don't want to risk it. another another apptAugust 17th, 2020 at 12:11 pmhad my ultrasound today on my neck...it was hard as the way my neck was made my dizziness worse..but the technician was great he helped me sit up and held my shoulders till I was okay to stand by myself then walked me down the hallway...was super nice and he said that everything looked okay so that was nice to hear but will see if the doc says the same. happy sundayAugust 16th, 2020 at 12:04 pmhaving my carotid ultrasound tomorrow afternoon...should be free which will be great...but have to pick up a few things while we are out...which my daughter plans on doing while I am having the ultrasound...she has put me under strict instructions..we went shopping today and I didn't do well and we were only gone 20 mins total...she does keep an eye on us...so thankful for all that she does for us. future planningAugust 15th, 2020 at 02:29 amThis weekend is all about getting back on track in every aspect of my life..especially health and finance updateAugust 13th, 2020 at 09:43 amWent to the TIA clinic and they said that it looks like I had a TIA...so now I am on aspirin everyday for the rest of my life..I hate medicine but need to do what the docs say...had my regular doc straight after (an hour later) by the time I got to that appointment she had already called and discussed everything with my regular doc...I do have to a carotid ultrasound as soon as they organise it..I also have a sinus infection but because of its symptoms I had to have a covid test which was right next door...doc is positive that I don't have it but has to make sure...should find out results tomorrow... another dayAugust 12th, 2020 at 06:26 amHad the neuro physio yesterday..cost $105 out of pocket but should get back around $50 in a few days which will go back into our ice acct...was nice to see her again and I have some new exercises to do daily which will hopefully help...other than that no expenses...I have the TIA clinic tomorrow which should be free and then I see my regular doc tomorrow and she is free...but will need to get a few things while we are out and about running errands but shouldn't cost to much...the weather here has been so cold and wet so the heater has been on so much but thats ok we have budgeted for it hit the next mark for our house depositAugust 6th, 2020 at 05:51 amWe hit the next mark for our house deposit...although its not a lot we are getting there hoping to up it at least $1000 each month and we have done that plus already this month and we still have a payday to go this moth...so happy and thanks for all the inspiration you guys have given me!! awesome news & other thingsAugust 5th, 2020 at 01:36 pmFirst off the great news...hubby is CANCER FREE we got the results from his doc today...he still has the specialist appt next week but all our tests go through his doctor so we are stoked...on the bad side I ended up in hospital this arvo for a few hours (6) as the left side of my body went numb had a cat scan and one with dye and things started to settle down..so they sent me home and will get me an appt with the tia clinic at the hosp..so we will see what they say. paid all billsAugust 3rd, 2020 at 04:25 amit is only the 3rd of the month and we have paid all our bills for the month...it feels weird...we only have groceries and gas money to take our which we do every 2 weeks (which will be this thurs) but both our jars still have money in them for last time..we are getting a bit sort on supplies like toilet paper/tissues/paper towel as i haven't bought for months...but everything else looks good..lots in the freezer/pantry...will look out for bargains on things that we use but nothing we need really.
