It sounds like a super time while the weather held! It's amazing what a difference some time away can make. I hope you aren't too worn out?

Thank you, it was a brilliant time away. Countdown is on to May now. Hopefully the weather will be better then too. It was too cold to enjoy it fully and we all seem to have a cold virus so generally feeling rubbish!
I just don't seem to get 5 minutes to myself anymore. Something somewhere will need to give. I am up at 4.30am and I've just sat down with a cuppa and I still have jobs to do
I am going to have my cuppa, iron and clean the floors then shower and bed. I'll be lucky if it's before 11. Running on empty! I'm sure this makes me feel worse Not moaning, I guess I should be thankful for what I do have.

Good to hear from you W.... though the colds are not welcome. I hope you're all soon back to 100%.
I would advise letting the housework wait till tomorrow, but I suspect you'd ignore me.
The positive side of that is that you must be feeling physically better than a while ago when you couldn't get up from the sofa, so that's good. And now I am going to horrify you: I am going to bed in a while even though there are jobs not done. They will wait till tomorrow and not get any worse overnight, or if they do get worse, it will only be by the same amount that perfectly clean floors, etc. would have worsened overnight. Mind you, I am absolutely sure that your house looks miles better than mine, and always will.
Hope the cuppa was nice. xI think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Try and look after yourself WF. Is there something you can ease up on a bit? Hope you got some rest xx"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
