    Hope you feel better today??

    As for competitions - I always thought they were a swizz, until my cousin won an all-expenses jaunt to Jamaica a couple of months ago! It was a Channel 5 one I think, but she didn't pay to enter because they have to let you do it online for free now, so she did that. So maybe there's something in them after all!

    Morning Gang

    Well. Since last we met, I have had the proper flu. As in stuck in bed, high temperature, unable to do anything the flu. Then last night just as I was feeling so much better, I decided to go downstairs to investigate a strange noise, and fell from half way up, hitting every bare wooden step on the way down. My back looks like I was beaten with a whip. Odd purple slash marks rather than bruises. Oh and then I had a thrilling bout of insomnia that lasted till 4am. So not really feeling my best....

    However I've decided that today is the day I leave the house and get on with my life, so currently working on a quick flyer I can knock up and print at the library. There are lots more people around at the moment with nothing to do so it might be a good window for getting some low cost new business. Some of the business uses I am attracting are pushing my overheads up a lot (think electricity) but I feel there are a lot of other kinds to tap into. So that's my morning planned.

    Hope everyone is ok.

    Bob

    Oh no Bob, that sounds very painful.
    Hope that you aren't too sore for long.

    Hope your back isn't too painful Bob, sounds like an unpleasant few days for you.
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
