  • Hello guys, I hope you are all keeping safe and well in these very strange times.
    Hubby kept me busy during a 14 day stay at home, we've decorated the hall, stairs and landing and now the bathroom too.  Next on his agenda is the garden, a bit of landscaping!
    I work in a special school (Administrator) all our students have an EHCP which means they are all vulnerable, but many have stayed at home. We have reduced working schedules at the moment so I have been at home on random days and have been able to make a top.  
    With not being able to get out and about I have been able to add an extra £50 to my Christmas fund and a bit more into my car fund.
    I've update all the totals that I could see, let me know if I have missed anyone out.
    Catch you again soon x
