Hi everyone sorry I've been awol for a while I've been depressed so not felt like posting. I'm starting to feel better now so hopefully things are on the up now🤞
I am now on my month long break from work as part of my retire and return plan. I go back to work on the 22nd of November for two days a week. Work has been crazy so I need this time away.
I do have plans for my month off but will post about them next time. I need to go and catch up on everyone's dairies too 😊

Thank you for updating us, OBL. I'm sorry you've been having a bad time.
You must have really needed this rest: hopefully it will be the start of a better balance after all you've put in over many years. I do think some jobs will take all you can give them and still expect more, but now you'll be able to get proper recovery time between shifts.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living.
