I hope everyone is well. We are back from a lovely weekend in Cornwall. The weather was beautiful and it wasn't too busy either which surprised me. It was so nice to get away for a bit.
I hope the picture isn't too big! That was lunchtime on Saturday so not too busy at all which was a relief.
My anxiety really ramped up last week, and Friday I was feeling extremely panicky all day. We travelled down Friday evening. My anxiety improved gradually over the weekend, and today I feel very much better. I hope it stays and isn't just a result of the weekend away. I'm hoping the meds are kicking in now.
I had my jab on Friday and all went well. I've had no side effects this time which is great. Not even a sore arm.
6 items sold over the weekend, so they've been posted today."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee6 -

Food for the soul Definitely, there is something so relaxing about being by the sea, and even just looking at pictures helps! "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -
Day 2 with not feeling too bad, I'm hopeful things are improving. I had a big meeting that I was very nervous about so would normally have been a wreck, today I was just a bit nervous. It's so nice not feeling awful, I can't remember the last time I didn't.
I'm 1st down now which is nice, if not for a good reason. Looking back on my phone, it looks like I'm about 1/2st away from where I was in April last year, so not too far away if I can keep going. I don't want to go back to the office any heavier than when I was last there!
I've sold an item today, so that's ready to post tomorrow."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -
