    Good morning everyone, today is payday , so grateful to still be receiving full salary. I am pleased to report that today I finally have no credit card debt left . Being in lockdown means I have made extra payments and it's all paid off. The first time in some 17 years . 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀. 
    Another WFH starts , I am sure it will be as busy as ever. 
    My dad was admitted to hospital over the weekend , my mum was beside herself as of course he had to go on his own. Anyway he came out late yesterday afternoon and is much better . He had heart attack like symptoms, but it looks like he had acute indigestion. His blood results were all over the place though so some more tests required . 
    On Wednesday evening I am travelling to the North East for the funeral of my friend which is going to be very hard . I am then taking next week off , work politics have become very stressful and I need sometime away from them. I plan on meeting my son in the park for a distanced walk . Plus I have promised my grandchildren I will do a drive by visit . 

    Best get ready for today. Will catchup on diaries when I get chance . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
