    That's excellent news with regard to SIL's salary Sunshine. Must have taken a load of his and DD's minds. I'm glad she thinks that her PPE level is good too - so important.

    I also love hearing about your walks. They make me think that when I finally move it needs to be near somewhere natural that I can walk. 
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering my local area , and a couple of you will have seen my photos. 

    Today mother in law was laid to rest , five weeks after she passed away. Only 10 allowed at the crematorium, sadly I couldn't go , the immediate family came first. My own 2 children went , my DD sent me a photo of the flowers and I have the booklet that they had done for her. I did go to the street where she lived as she left from there. I am going to miss her , she was a wonderful lady. 

    I got a work laptop today as well, so my own has gone away for the time being. 
    My craft week in the lakes has been rebooked for the middle of September so we will see what happens with that. 
    Work has been crazy this week. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Busy busy day today, had to go into work to do some printing. I sat at my desk and wondered when I would ever sit there again. Had a melt down when I got back, felt overwhelmed. Luckily my colleague phoned me and talked me round . Five minutes later I carried on. 
    Had a walk at lunchtime and it was freezing and blew the cobwebs away. I will keep plodding on.
