    I spent the whole day at work doing admin and also tidying up. Last night i spent a fortune, in total £100 on new clothes for work. Yikes! lol. 

    Tonight i am going to start decluttering and tidying work bits.

    That's not much spent and well worth it for the 'look good, feel good' effect.

    New clothes are necessary spend for new job! Once you start you can see what everyone else is wearing and assess the rest of your wardrobe. 

    I’m glad you got some rest between catching up on jobs. Hope the meeting goes well
