    I have had my flu jab but not the covid vaccine. That is next week!

    I am feeling much better and so happy about it. I have a few bits to do for work tomorrow and then i will rest for the remainder of the day. All my catch up tv programmes have been seen. I am hungry and want a hot meal so i am definitely on the mend. I am waiting to see if work will give us a cost of living payment. 

    It is a beautiful day outside.

    I am much better bless you for asking. I have just had a big spend of £448 for a new washing machine. The new one is coming in one week's time money taken from emergency account. The old one lasted 17 years. 

    I have seen a great looking nearly new Christmas tree for sale. It is £75 and the price includes delivery to my house for tomorrow. I had this money spare in my xmas fund. I am so grateful for the job change as i have been able to buy so many nice things with the extra £200 a month. 

    I have loads to do but don't know if i can cope with it tomorrow as brain is shutting down.

    Your WM lasted well.
    Do you need a new tree or is your other one also of age?

    Hope you're getting some rest.

    My tree is almost 20 year's old. This one was an absolute bargain but it is 7ft tall. So I think i can squish it upstairs. I have rested all weekend. I am incapable of actually working. Burnout approaching but i can still string a sentence together for now which is fine. lol. Hoping brain works tomorrow.
