Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

It was raining this morning so instead of a walk I did 20 minutes of my aerobics dvd and 10 minutes of my yoga dvd.
Then I spent most of the day working on an assignment for college. I'm halfway through it and I'm planning on finishing it tomorrow as it's going to rain again.
I also washed some towels and hung them to dry.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

So sorry to hear the latest news about your BIL but staying in hospital sounds like a good idea at the moment. It's good though that his diagnoses have been made. Let's hope some treatment will swiftly follow. According to recent news reports people are not going for consultations etc because of the Covid-19 situation. Sending all positive vibes to you all.
I read the whole of your diary at one go once I discovered it LOL and 'think' I remember your mentioning that your DH's brother has prostate cancer. Am I mixing you up with another poster, if so sorry, but if it's true how is he getting on?
You recently mentioned that your sister who sadly died was the twin of the one in Scotland. My twin brother died a couple of years ago. It made me feel very vulnerable myself, probably more than it might had it been one of my other siblings who had sadly passed away IYKWIM. There's always an extra-special bond between twins whether identical or fraternal.6 -
Hope BIL is ok HHOD and the scans dont reveal anything more than the tumours theyve already found xx

Yesterday I worked from 10am until 4pm with half an hour for lunch on my assignment. I finished it and uploaded it 🙂. So six assignments done and three to go 🙂. Then I did twenty minutes of my aerobics dvd 🤸♀️ and ten minutes of my yoga dvd 🧘♀️ to unwind.
I didn't have time for anything else really, but it felt like a day well spent as I was working on my career and looking after my physical health.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
