            Well both myself and dh tried to forward my sick note to work.....it wouldn’t send. So I took a photo and sent that.....but work couldn’t print it. SO I’ve been back in touch with the GP....they’re going to print me one off. BUT I can’t drive or walk that far so I’ll have to see if I can get someone to pick it up for me......WHY is everything so complicated 🤔😡😳😏
Work are sending me to occupational health again......it is what it is. I’m not messing about getting taxis like I did previously.......hopefully it’ll be a phone interview.
We ended up getting a takeaway last night as we had no light in the kitchen. We will have to sort a lamp out for in there for until the electrician comes back for the final fit.....January spends - £587.583 -

            My lovely neighbour has gone to collect my sick note for me 😄
The builders have finished early today 😄
I've put the heating on as it’s blooming freezing as they’ve had doors open......I’m sitting in bed with a nice hot cuppa watching West Side Story - I’ve never seen it right through.

            I really enjoyed seeing West Side Story....food for thought though.....the storyline was set in the early 60s I think and it could very easily be set today. We need to learn some lessons 😳🤔
We went out for tea again as there was no lighting in the kitchen. I suppose we could have found a lamp from somewhere but it seemed like a good enough excuse. A cheap and cheerful W sp00ns. We phoned dd for her birthday and toasted her from there. She liked the present we sent her.Another NSD for me as dh paid for tea 👍January spends - £587.582 - 
            It's good to have thoughtful neighbours. ⭐️ Nice to get out and about for dinner in these locked in times.I think the 'America' piece in West Side Story is one of the best singing and dancing routines ever in a musical. Love it!💕Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

            Another day hibernating in the bedroom.We went out to W spoons again last night and we went out about half 6 and were in at just after 8. I was shattered and started watching tv.....think I lasted all of 10 minutes and I slept until 7 this morning- I woke a couple of times but went straight back to sleep.
It’s been a lovely bright day here and I very nearly tried to walk to Morrison’s for a sit in the cafe but I was still a bit wary of walking that far so I chickened out. I’m wanting to do things but just haven’t got the energy - a step in the right direction though as I haven’t been interested in doing anything until these last couple of days.
I’ve just sewn a baby cardigan I’ve been knitting for ages so now I just need to do the hood and front button bands. I need to get a move on or the baby will be too big to wear it.
