Another month over - almost the end of the year. Going to do a trial day at a school tomorrow for a job I'm not even sure I want.
New years resolution to be more open.
Went out with my lovely work colleagues over the weekend and was telling them a very short version of my life since 2017 and they were all really shocked one even called me a 'warrior.' Not quite sure that was necessary but it was appreciated.
I still think some people are able to just carry on quietly and without fuss and others require much more support. Those of us who are able to park it and move on usually without drama (or the notion that anyone else would care) are no better than those who can't - we just have an easier ride of moving on from the storms.
£700 below what I need to purchase my new front door, but I have paid my tax bill and saved up enough to complete on my new BTL so I'm doing ok.HOME

Happy with this as includes £5000 spent on the house. We've reconfigured the upstairs layout by moving a wall this year which has meant dd3 no longer has a 1970s box room but a full size double. This month ive also had a new composite door fitted.
