Thanks folks. Still feeling rough after laying down and sleeping on and off for most of the day. Thankfully I am stocked up on cheap paracetamol. Head and ear ache & lurching around like a drunkard 😬Have had a shower and hair wash and dosed up hopefully will sleep tonight. Fans are still on, it’s so hot despite the fact that it has been raining here since 6.30pm. We have thunderstorms forecast for tonight and heavy rain in the morning.DS has paid his bills money so I have moved money around and paid my credit card. DS’s gf share of bills should be in my account tomorrow & then I can see what is left for savings this month.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Feeling a little better this afternoon. Managed to walk to the post box at the end of the road & post DF’s Father’s Day card. It’s very warm & raining here now, I’m surprised we have no thunder storms so far.I have been naughty & ordered fish & chips delivered for tea £8.40. Paid from entertainment fund. Just fancy salty chips for my sore throat 😉 I must stock up on frozen fish & chips next time I go shopping.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Nothing into birthday account this month as used towards birthdays in June. Nothing into bills account this month £100 used towards annual insurance paid this month. Rest of bills covered from Bills account.Next week I have a day off & I am meeting a friend for lunch.

You're sounding perkier, hopefully the worst is over and now it's recovery time.
