    Work tired is a good feeling tbh, anxiety/stress/depression tired isn't. This I much prefer

    I so very much get this. I find being able to walk away from worrying about it much easier for ad hoc jobs as well.

    Minimal spend day, just some yellow sticker items from supermarket including 3 pizzas for 25p each, sleepover next weekend so that should help feed them all

    Much busier week, 4 days out of 5 booked up on supply, the fifth is a family one taking m-i-l to hospital for three different appointments, that's probably the hardest day of the week tbh. Two meetings for the side hustle job to do as well so won't have time to spend any money either.
