Thanks SH, LW2G and Skinty
We had chicken, mushroom and pasta for tea, chocolate for pudding.
I wanted to stay in bed today, another rough night.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.3 -
Just on a break as had to discuss the full sad side with boss, declined the offer to go home as it helps take my mind off things being in; the next few days are stressful enough. At least they know whats going on, although they're extremely sympathetic about this and my health; nothing is too much trouble for them.

Thanks SWHad a lovely day and the drive home was heartwarming due to the sunset. Just what I needed.
Packed a big bag for Cat, it's like traveling with a baby the amount she has! TomBo did his packing. I've got a few outfits packed, nice pamper toiletries and my swim gear; hopefully I can get six sessions in while away.
I should settle a bit once I'm back and can then plan Christmas. We're staying home this year, which is a relief.

Thanks SH
Had minimal sleep, not great. I'm having a bit of a painkiller as I'll be in a fixed position for hours due to the drive.
I've reprogrammed the heating, having it come on for 3x 30 minute bursts.
Have to get ready in a bit, load the car and wrestle cat into box.
Hope you all have a good weekend 😀Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.4 -
