Thanks HM, WelshKiitty, Blackcats, Jwil and Tahlullah
Wales was certainly woollyful and very wet so didn't end up going to NT property. We did eat out though a mooch around 3 or 4 shops before heading home. I had jab 2 on Thursday - and was in bed with fatigue today until about half an hour ago... Could be other stuff catching up with me too - either way it was good to take the opportunity to rest. I got DH to give me some brush pens for art - like painting with an upgraded version of a felt tip pen... I played with them last night and really like them.
DH still hasn't made the requested debt repayments... sigh... I also need to rework our figures and check how much we can afford to pay as we are still over-spending compared to what we were. We've also had annual bills like home insurance go out etc.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality

It could be a mix of everything, combined with time off and your body decided it didn't want to play any more.
Getting away would have made a nice change for you, the NT will always be waiting for you to see it.
Nudge DH and remind him how close to being DF you are.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.6 -
Hope you feel better soon, the vaccine does cause fatigue and then all the general uncertainty doesn't help....DFD March 2025 (£35000 paid off)
