    This month is going at a good enough speed to not feel like we're losing it in a blink of an eye.
    Have an early night.

  • January seems to be lasting forever! I think I read on another post there are 200 days still to go in January 😆 but I will count down the 9 days until payday with you

    Andy came to visit yesterday we had the best day after my hospital appointment and had takeaway at home and watched brilliant groups singing on tv, we couldnt go for a walk as it was freezing. Today i did loads of work just finished for tonight. Still have quite a few exam papers to get through but i have done so many today. Having a day off yesterday did me the world of good. 

    I will try to catch up with everyone's diaries later in the week.

    You're sounding perkier due to the visit and time off.

  • So glad you saw Andy and had a relaxing day. It’s so important we see our friends and family. I hope your parents can come and visit soon now they are recovered from covid.

    I hope everyone is well. I have not been on for a few days as it has been v busy and will remain so this weekend. I am going to try to catch up on the diaries. Other than taxi fare for medical appointments i havent spent any money this week. I am busily still marking exam papers. 

    I ordered a new house sign last week and it came today, it was v cheap but looks nice and cost just over £10. I am looking forward to payday on Monday and looking forward to clearing my christmas credit card of £387. My credit card bill so far for March so far is  £153 and i only have £100 to put towards it.

    Try and find some time for you this weekend.
    You've done well with not spending and saving the money for your CC bill, you'll find the rest.
