Glad you have some time off. Well done on the survey and the PADs. Stress app sounds interesting - let us know how you get on.

Thank you.  I will let you know.  They haven't sent me the link yet, I'm very impatiently waiting

I'm feeling a bit better today after a better night.  I think it's definitely anxiety.  Yesterday I purchased the book I used before on 'overcoming health anxiety'.  I think the pandemic has triggered this for me again, and I'm losing all sense of perspective.  This book helped me before, and the libraries are closed so I thought I'd buy it.  Hopefully it will help again.

Tomorrow is payday so I will do my totalising today in advance.  Despite a fair amount of frivolous spending (Kindle and Audible) this month, I have ended the month with over £200 in the bank.  I don't think that has ever happened before!  I'm so pleased.  I think I'd like to buy some plants for the garden, but otherwise will send the rest to savings.  

I have some listing to do as well, and I need to go to the post office to post a RM survey parcel, so I will get a walk in as well.  Other than that, it will be another relaxing day as I still feel fragile.  A couple of days of fasting to settle my stomach will do me no harm at all.

Those financials above don't include what's left in my account at the moment, as I haven't decided where to put it!  

I'm currently doing some listing.  I did go for my walk to the PO, and the sun came out while I was out which was lovely.

The kids have been a bit emotional today, I think lockdown is getting to them.
