    Thanks to everyone who sent me good wishes.

    All better now, wow some awful bug, positive side is - lost a few pounds (weight) not £££ :rotfl: and feel better than I have done in a good while:)

    Just about managed work (1st week back, last week) and the usual short staffed, so worked late for them one night (extra £) and asked if I could do a shift this weekend - NO I said.

    Sold a few items on the bay - so still very slow but slow trickle is better than nothing - all goes to o/p:D on saying that just o/p £45.60 making the total for April £83.94 (didn't manage to post 1st o/p due to being ill).

    Still thinking (told you I dither) about new smart tv as the one I was "watching" for someone till they bought a new house has now gone, and I'm back to my small(ish) tv, but since the XL one went - its actually like an elephant has left the room :D so now undecided as whether to get XL screen or not :(

    and eventually received my incentive for switching banks - from application to incentive being paid - took 4 MONTHS :mad: will be leaving them shortly :D not a very good customer service.

    Need to catch up on a few diaries over the next few days. Hope everyone is well :)

    Hello

    Had a great break thanks. Loved the night manager. Glad I binge watched it, not sure I could have waited between episodes!!

    No decisions yet, more questions really. Still, no hurry for now. If it means another trip to consider options further in the summer - wouldn't that be a shame.

    Glad you are feeling better.

    Bexster :)

    Evening all...Have been AWOL for a while. Hope that all are well and happy. Glad that you are better now too AFK.

    Will catch up on posts during the week. Just to say that we also just finished watching 'night manager' tonight. Completely loved it. Was weird seeing Hugh Laurie & Tom Holander playing bad guys - was fun and disconcerting all at the same time!

    Have a few items on gumtree, hopefully they will sell. If not, they will go on Streetlife and then charity shop.

    All budgets updated and surveys done.

    Have a good rest of the evening all.

    Off to listen to a world service podcast now - interested in the whole mossach fonseca drama.

    Just made o/p of £54.40 and debating another £1 to bring my mortgage into the 28's, but will resist until next week :D

    Off to shops, so another spendy day. Will report when I get back.
