Well done, you sound really focused. I'll be popping back for tips!

I made it back into work today!!
Provided I can get a letter from the Doctor to back me up they are happy for me to gradually build up the hours and teaching so hopefully that will help me stay on track.
I stayed for most of the day getting to know some of my classes etc so I'm shattered!
Had a NSD. Will be difficult to keep such a tight reign on the spending as I get back into the old routine. Then again I won't have much energy to spare for shopping etc for a while I think!!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
Thats great news on getting back to work Jellie, but don't over do it! I'm surprised that they are asking for a letter from the Dr though, we would offer that as a matter of course at our place, especially after beng off for a long time
