    Oh hon!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    :D Sorry to hear you're feeling a little flat - perhaps it's the calm after all the stress and you're not sure what to do! :)

    The main issue I'm facing is around work. I used to love my work but now I feel I'm going through the motions. Some of my contracts are ending over the coming months so I have an opportunity to look for something a bit different, but I don't know what.

    Don't go into it with preconceived ideas. Look at *everything*. When something leaps up and says "HELLO!" in that Leslie Phillips kind of way, then you'll know that is it.

    It's my birthday today so I should be feeling full of optimism but I just feel a bit flat.

    Thanks everyone! Well it's shaping up to be a great birthday... I open a bottle of champagne, OH wanders upstairs and falls asleep.

    (PS feel obliged to state that the champagne was a gift from my dad, he must have won it in a raffle. No money has been wasted in this household!)

    I did enjoy it, but I wish I'd saved it for another occasion. Oh well, my birthday is over for another year, now I can focus on DDs on Sunday. I was all set to copy you and get them making masks then guess what... they're making masks at school this week!

    It might have to be origami boxes. Was that one of your ideas as well?

    Yay! Following a tip from southernscouser, I applied for a Goldfish credit card and now have £41 tracked on Quidco. Thanks SS!

    I now have five credit cards, with a combined credit limit of around 28k, as well as overdraft allowances of £7,500. And a huge mortgage, a 20k loan, and no salary. It's crazy!
