Title Edited Text

This morning I dropped Anna off at Dobcroft Infant School around 8am, then headed straight to T L C. I worked from 8:36 to 10:56, sorting out logistics—probably some route planning or delivery scheduling. Around 11, I met Deimantė at Iceland and Home Bargains. We grabbed a bite at Greggs and bought cocktails and some food. She wanted to go go-karting and set me as her emergency contact, which felt kind of serious. We also talked about a savings plan for bills—£250 a week—and she brought up war worries after a Lithuanian alert and Russian planes being sighted. I invited her and Aure for Chinese food on Friday.

After that, I was messaging Suzana a lot. We planned dinner—chicken with rice or spaghetti—and organised logistics for Grandma and Aunt Julie's visit tomorrow. She was looking at buying a bar and an indoor slide for Anna. I told her the slide mat was £85, too much, so we skipped that. Also had to deal with a dead mouse battery. Meanwhile, John Taylor was texting about home improvement: wallpapering, painting, LED strip lights, cutting metal bars. I agreed to order the LED lights and offered to lend my jigsaw.

In the afternoon, I had a conversation with Sarah about property damage. Apparently a delivery van hit the fence, causing vibrations that damaged the roof, facade, guttering, and even the toilets. They've accepted liability. The estimated claim starts at £750k, but the actual payout might be around £20k. Also heard that John's van engine got damaged. That whole thing is a mess.

Later, I messaged with Deimantė more—she said she arrived sound and safe after driving 20 miles. I made a mental note: use coins for cocktails to save card money for the trip. Background threads keep floating around—car issues, dental appointment, cash flow challenges at work, flats valued over £1m, and flights to France only from Birmingham. Long day of running around and typing.

Self Note

Reminder to Buy Cocktails Using Coins

Note to self, I'm arriving at Demante's flat, which is 41A Lordens Hill. I'm looking for some coins in the car so I can buy the cocktails for myself and for her without spending on my cards anymore. Because I need money in my account for my trip.
