Belated Happy Birthday! Hope you had a relaxing weekend 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 McGee2

Thank you all so much
we had a quiet weekend but it was nice just having no set time to be doing anything really! The weather has been crazy and yesterday we went to the local park. There are trees down and flooding. Where my house is sat it's okay it doesn't flood but quite a lot of people we know are really flooded.
Need to pop and get some bread and milk etc today. Quite a few appointments this week x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”5 -
Happy belated birthday 🎂. Good news about your youngest DD. Hopefully the treatment will see an improvement for all of you and the trips to the hospital will be fewer. X4

Belated HB WF - glad you had a lovely day although eek to the flooding locally! We've had trees down near home, and looks like around work has also seen some damage - I passed one poor chap looking ruefully at his rather dented car and another photographing his roof with tiles all over the place. (And then bizarrely encountered a large union jack flag blowing along the pavement so rescued that!)

We once acquired some bunting during a storm, it wrapped itself around our fence and looked quite decorative
Hope you have a good week WF xx
