    - DD has taken up journaling (spelling doesn't look right?) which I also quite fancy.

    Oh no not Bujo! I follow on FB. OMG they are obsessively keen. Put me off a bit I have to say! Think I will find my own simple way :)

    Thanks Bob Sleep is a constant daily battle:( 4hurs is a good night, I can keep functioning, less than 2.5hr makes it hard to focus the next day. Today might be written off too but its sunny outside so I will do minimum required today (letters to clients) and then spend some time in garden :)

    They are obsessive Igamogam! I don't think I could keep it up for long, I just like the artistic side of it, rather than spending and hour making a to-do list look beautiful .....!

    Thanks Brizzle :) I have a dream/gratitude journal but it has been neglected for months :(
    sorry didn't understand "got reduced part way through Feb"? not the happiness part I hope;) I think I read it as went from Bujo to Happiness journal? (am a bit slow this am :o )

    Saw Mum yesterday :) but it was a long day and pretty tired today.
    Sorted out quite a few admin bits with her yesterday.
    Anxiety levels very high at the moment and can't shake it off. Dr gave me some tel numbers last week in case I felt like talking to someone, but it feels a bit alien to me to do that.

    DD coming home today:j she needs to pick up some books we already have rather than just buy again, plus it is close to DH birthday, so she's surprising him - I'd told him she was too busy to come in Feb :rotfl: Iwill exchange some CubC8rd vouchers for a meal out perhaps, should lift all our spirits for a bit.
    Today is going to be a domestic day I think, possibly do some raking? poor snowdrops struggling to show through the carpet of leaves that were never cleared in autumn. and mustn't forget VAT :eek:

    Re money was heartening to get annual mortgage statement (sig updated) but frightening at the same time as I still have a big chunk of it on interest only and less than 10 years to sort out means of payment.

    Happy Friday!

    Sorry.. (dont worry I do this in RL too..ie. confuse folks by leaping from topic to topic! my bad)

    its a brand of journal that I found referenced on a frugal blog. And although not frugal, it was my treat to myself last month. Its helping me keep focussed. And...because I bought it part way through Jan and this version is branded for 2017 it was slightly reduced

    Sorry to hear re sleep....thats hard
