  • I've broken up for the next two weeks :j I've got loads to do, but it's still a lovely feeling that I don't have to go to work!

    I didn't manage to get my assignment done, and now the next one's here and both are due in the next two weeks :eek:I also need to seriously start clearing and cleaning if I want to move in the new year.

    My main focus for the new year though has to be my health and fitness, I've really let that go over the last few years and it's showing now. I, finally, went for a flu jab this week, so that's one thing done.

    Can't seem to type outside of the  quote! Just having a review of January with my 20 20s which I hope will help me to get a lot of stuff sorted. Not an overwhelming start, but other stuff's happened/happening which is taking my attention (and draining my energy), so any small move forward is better than nothing at the moment. Fingers crossed I can start to get more momentum this month.
  • Well done on all you have achieved bln. Any progress is a positive start to the year 😊

    Hope the other stuff draining your energy gets sorted soon.

  • Well, this is all a bit surreal. Wish I hadn't watched all those end of the world films now!
    I'm officially working from home, but I don't know how that's going to work out and there doesn't seem much set up at the moment. My parents have told me to stay away for a while; I'm worried about not going to deal with things and worried about going and spreading the virus.
    I live alone, so hope I don't go a bit stir crazy! 

  • I think we are all feeling the same bln. I’m just trying to keep active and have started reading a book I’ve had for a while. There are lots of free things in this weeks MSE email including mindfulness & meditation too.
