    OH back. Whoop! But tough times at work. Big decisions coming up methinks.

    Day off so going to read paper in bed. Didn't sleep well at all so a little treat! Isn't it getting dark in the mornings?! :eek:

    Have to say there have been no reports of them in Brizzle..but not a great idea to effectively threaten people, especially as the nights get longer..

    Bit weird at work at the moment, but just need to knuckle down..big changes for OH as well, so he needs time to work those through.

    Today I have:

    - posted an item sold on Bay of E..for double the starting price so happy. Prompt payment too, so will try and list some more items today
    - bought reduced bread...always love that as its wonderful bread from our local bakers. Now in freezer.
    - done TTs.
    - checked mortgage total :( and logged for the MFiT-4 challenge
    - plan to go for a run this weekend - not sleeping well again and feeling tired all the time which doesn't help the stress levels. Off alcohol which must help.

    Must meal plan for next week, but other than that will take it easy and try and do some tidying up

    Have a great weekend folks xx

    Thanks. OH wrestling with it and rather sad :(

    Have decided to work less today and concentrate on family and building some positivity :)

    On the MSE front -

    - TTs done
    - TCB payout requested..a small one, a big one is still pending
    - OH repaired laptop and its working again :j
    - doing an invoice which usually has a prompt payer and majority will be set aside for THEM
    - booked tickets for HT holiday using TCB
    - used contactless for Tube travel and think it will have been cheaper than Oyster
    - planning to post 2 items on Bay of E today
    - scrummy dinner planned. Tray bake using fish from freezer and then a chocolate steamed pudding. Fridge is empty and planning to send the freezer the same way :) Meal planning will be interesting this week :) but curry from freezer tomorrow for sure

    I need to take a leaf out of your book and live out of my freezer/cupboards instead of forever stocking them up every time I come across a bargain.
