Hope you begin to feel better soon.
Eat more ice cream and rest up.

The house moving thing is soooo stressful and the heat and the work situation sounds awful. I hope you are able to take some time out where you can just rest and focus on yourself. Wishing you well, hugs swxxxx

Thank you Chrystal, MF and SW. I have consulted with my union rep & sent an official email to my boss which has been accepted by her boss, so I am back to doing my previous work which I have been trained for. 

My boss rang me this evening to give me the good news, I was so relieved that I burst into tears 😭 Hopefully I should get some sleep tonight now & I am working from home tomorrow and I have booked Monday and Tuesday off. Feel like a weight has been lifted off me 😊

Based on yesterdays meter readings gas & electric this month is Electricity £84.03 and Gas £25.19. The direct debit is £125 so we are now in credit by £238.54. Hopefully the house sale / purchase will go through end of September so we will split the credit then have our own accounts to get the £400.

I am so glad work is listening to you. Hurrah for being in credit. That is fabulous.

That's great news, I'm so pleased they've seen sense.

Fingers crossed you exchange and complete soon, that will be another stress off your shoulders.

Work was much better yesterday but I have woken with a start this morning thinking/ dreaming I forgot to do something. With anxiety rising I have logged on to
my work computer and all is correct phew! Hopefully now I can relax and have the next 4 days off. Have fed the dog and she’s been out in the garden and is now back in bed. I’ve got a cup of tea and will get some more sleep once my heart rate settles. 

I want to clean the house over the next 4 days and do some more packing. Tonight the girls are going to the local pub so I will join them for a few drinks & looking forward to some chat and laughter 

Last night I went to dinner at my no-dogs friends house. I took some garlic chicken slices and she provided mexican rice and salad. Also took 4 cans of strawberry and lime cider which we shared. Cost £5 so cheaper than some of the bottles of wine. I also got a punnet of plums reduced to £1.34. We sat in the garden until dark and it was a lovely relaxing evening.

It is so good that you spent time with friends. They make all the difference. Cleaning the house is a good idea, a good way to keep busy but please dont tire yourself out. Have a good weekend, it is overcast by me I hope it clears up later in the day.

Thanks SW it’s just poured with rain here. Just got back with the dog after a lovely walk before it started thank goodness

Gatherings will do you some good, change of scenery and discussions are always beneficial.

Don't overdo the housework. Enlist DS and GF with packing, put piles of things together to go in a box and let them get on with it, same with tip runs. After all, they're ultimately benefiting from you moving.
