Ref the docs I got signed off for two weeks and meds increased a bit. Will see the doc at the end of the two weeks to reassess if more time needed.
Feel a lot better not worrying about work a tad guilty on my colleagues for the extra work but wehave a new member of staff now so that should help.
Need to draw up an action plan tomorrow because I dont intend to spend all the two weeks doing s*d all although sleep and rest will come high up on the priorities.
Thank you for all your support :A .:j0 -
Glad that you got sighned off.
Take care.

Prob some overdraft charges to come:j0 -
Spent £27.50 in Mr Ts. £3 for a naughty choc cake which I told OH was coming out of his budget
!! It was funny becuase he didnt know he had a budget.
£2 paper for the kids
£0.50 OH golf tees
So only £12 over budget.
£1800 BT to citibank done but could only do it from another card so will take a while for overpayment on Tesco cc to be claimed and the OD repaid. Not plan A but should do as plan B. Good news is if I stick to budget then the £1800 is 200 less than I planned to transfer so £200 better off than I thought :j .:j0 -
Any of that chocolate cake left.............sounds yummy, sod the debts for now chocolate cake takes priotity. xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0

Yesterdays spends were
£5.15 +8.80 for a cinema trip for OH and I which was great. Saw roll models which was very funny. Cant think of anything else from yesterday but I did put a 37 catalogue order from the sale load of bargains on Thursday.
Today I have looked and applied for new home insurance got it for £98 which £40 cash back on quidco:money: . I did drop accidental damage as that doubled the premium I hope I dont regret that. Had to pay in full because system playing up but dont mind for that cost. The renewal from the current provider has jumped up £100 to £265 :eek:. Going to cancel that ASAP.
Plans today are to ebay a couple of bits if the camera will work:mad:
Tidy and clean kitchen inc the boring washing up.
Maybe do an online shop but thinking of going to farmfoodsbecause I got some lovely vouchers from a friend also go some stamps which I wasnt expecting so very happy :beer:
If feeling energetic sort paperwork out.
Hope you all ok:j0 -

Listed fur items on ebay do fingers crossed. Still got a few bits to add but need to improve my photography.
Nothing else done spent £5 on milk and sweets for kids. We have a friend round so thought I would spend a bit of the kids budget.
Actual home ins cost was £89 so even cheaper than I said earlier nd the £40 cash ack has tracked :T .:j0
