The Last Furlong

Money wise , haven't spent anything other than shopping money and some new lightbulbs. The gym have frozen all our memberships so £42 saved there , I am going to put the money away in case we get furloughed and then can use it to make up the difference. The only think that will definitely go up is electricity owing to the laptop , mobile phone charging etc. However lighter nights so maybe not who knows.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.2 -
I thought my electricity bill might go up with working from home but they've just put it down by £10 a month. I'm only spending on groceries and once I've received my final online delivery this week I'll be only going out to get things we're desperate for so this spending will go down (hopefully).
@milann you can put photos on via the icon at the top of the comments box that says attach image. I did mine from my phone.

Thank you everyone, she was a lovely lady , refused to go to hospital at lunchtime . She wanted to go in her own bed at home and she got that wish. In the last month she had all her 5 children together for the first time in 20 years . Lovely memories for the family to treasure. I will miss her greatly, she was one of a kind.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.5
