    Yes, I know so many that are struggling and really not making anything at all. I don't know how they will survive if things don't change soon. 
    I think we have learned to be a lot more careful hygiene wise. 
    I think a lot of companies have realised they are paying for offices and they might not need to in the long run. I suspect working from home will be the new way of working for a lot of people. x

    Work has been very crazy again today . I have been offered a free couple of nights in my friends caravan , in return for being there whilst they sort out WIFI in the caravan. Of course I have said yes , it's in Cumbria and the weather is looking good this weekend . DD and clan are going to wales overnight this week for a little treat . I am in charge of the dog, feeding and walking him. He is staying at home though . 
    I have ordered two Christmas presents over the weekend I saw them whilst browsing both at good prices so it's a start. MOT tomorrow and service , just hope I have enough funds . 
    It's mid month so no money news .

    I've normally started with the Christmas presents by now and haven't this year.

    My friend should have been there as well, but work has took her away, so she asked if I still wanted to go.
