Survived the week.
However have done a massive mr t order of 182 as I need bread and milk and can not face shopping. Weather is too nice.
Big big shop of all basics and cleaning and fridge and freezer stuff.
This will actually take me overdrawn for a few weeks but I feel rash, wild even, it is Friday . I am running amok.
Actually I may amend my order on second thoughts.
Bye for now.

Morning all :hello: thanks for the start cat my bad luck has already hit. Let's hope it's the only one. Left my laptop charger at work meaning the only day I have at home to get any work done is limited to either approx 3 hours on the laptop (not feasible have too much to do) or drive a 2.5 hour round trip to collect meaning I don't get any work done in that time :mad::(

Anyway moving on. Today will look like:
Pointless commute
Meals from stores
Post one fleabay item
Check banking, DH got paid £150 extra, will get him to check his payslip
Work tonight to cover pointless journey
Run for free and to try and release some anxiety
Try and get that last 5p on 1poll, yesterday was not friendly


Hope the day gets better and is better for everyone else. PF

Thanks for the kind thoughts folks. Well the highlight of my day was getting to £40 on 1poll and DH extra pay due to an annual bonus he wasn't expecting . Rest was pretty rubbish. Definitely should have stayed in bed for the remainder. No run so anxiety high and a bucket load of work to do still. Oh well. Tomorrows a new day
