That is ambitious, but fabulous to aim for. Extra good luck ⭐️

Love it!

Just came by to update my signature, there has been movement on the professional thing, still horrible, and not even read the full thing. Getting my solicitor to do that first so that I can receive a measured message - hopefully.

Haven't hit Mini goal 2 as I hoped, £10 off doing that. 

 Went out for a walk on Saturday, 4.7 miles and very hilly.

Thinking of you - I can't imagine the emotional stress of having this hanging over you. Sending virtual hugs

WinterWarrior

That’s a lovely view. 

DrCarrie

Oh boy, oh boy. The professional thing. Its a lot. Feeling very stuck, and in the past. 

Meantime, 17/17  NSD's this month. Had a lovely weekend between the assignment being finished and the professional thing coming in. I have overspent this month, and need to look forward in my budgeting as there is a fair bit of socialising booked in which is a good thing, but a bit spendy. I need to be around people that know and respect/like me that's for sure. 

A friend is coming to see me tomorrow, and hoping for a walk, over the weekend and maybe work on a dress i have started. 

DrCarrie

It was payday yesterday, and I have divided up my pots - something is wrong, and I can't see what it is. I have upped my food and weekend budget a smidge because I got in quite a pickle in July. 

WinterWarrior

Try writing it all down and see if you can spot the discrepancy?
I tweaked my budget for the same reason. 

DrCarrie

Blimey, oh Riley. 

Got pinged very early yesterday morning, isolating for 7 more days, but a test should be with me later today, if I can get it turned around - I may be able to be released if it's negative? 

So Money saving has not started well as I needed a few things including loo roll, so deliveroo was employed very expensive way of getting essentials.

Not able to go out for a walk. 

Very anxious about the professional thing but had a good response from someone. But wasn't able to concentrate to sew. 

Fortunately had a lot of support and a nice time on Saturday - lovely lunch and got in the sea, a bit too much wine.
