There have been 8 cases at work so I am glad I am not in the office too! 😱 I will do a LF test before I go to my friends today but I don’t think mine is Covid either. I haven’t coughed since yesterday and I think it was nasal drip which woke me up coughing. It’s gross, I suffer with it occasionally due to my thyroid problems affecting my nose & ears. My ears were blocking and popping a lot yesterday too.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Had a relaxing day yesterday. Did quite a few of the things on my list. Descaled the kettle and cleaned the wooden bath panel with an old toothbrush and some hot soapy water to get into all the nooks and crannies where dust had gathered.Went to my house moving friends and had a baileys with ice and a chat & catch up.
Provided my meter readings online, we now have £236.27 credit which will help with the winter bills. Heating was off yesterday until the evening. We pay £95 direct debit monthly and November bill was £77.61I will also claim the working from home tax allowance in February to be backdated for this year, so I should get a lump sum tax refund in March pay, which should be another £62 to go towards the heating.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Forgot to mention I looked for Christmas cards etc in my stash but I only have one box of 10 cards so not enough! I will need to get more and a few “special” ones. Will write a list and go to card shop. Can also get 2nd class stamps and post early to save money. I have plenty of wrapping paper.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I'm impressed by your line drying at this time of year- I've mostly given up! The weather forecast kept lying to me and everything kept getting rained on. Hope you've had some lovely puppy snuggles3
