Thank you 🙂 it never occurred to me before yo have pots of money so we still have a life as well as paying off debts 🙄 we are fortunate to have the choice rather than having it forced upon us. It's not as though we will be going abroad anytime soon anyway...!Baileys_Babe said:That is great progress @DayDreamerandGeneralWaster6 -
Didn’t set any goals because Monday was a write off. Not had a drink tonight so happy with that. Also made wife confiscate my phone as I was browsing online lol.
Not in a great place tbh and struggling with sleep and stress but a bit more positive than yesterday.4 -

I feel all at sixes and sevens today. Realised we had forgotten to turn the dishwasher on last night, hasn't helped either.
Plans for today:
🌺 NSD ✔
🌺 Dry the washing on the line outside if the weather stays good ✖ No it rained, so the washing went on the airer instead
🌺 Make a loaf of bread ✔
🌺 Prepare the dinner early today so we can just bung it in the oven later, as I have been feeling worn out in the evenings recently and I don't want to end up having a take away because I'm tired ✔
Daily:
📌 B/L/D from stores 👍 👍👍👍

Thanks @determined_new_ms think I might be coming down with something as I was achy everywhere earlier I have taken something and feel a bit better. I have also increased my fluid intake as I find being dehydrated makes my pain worse. I am trying to fit a rest period into the afternoon and an early night. Hopefully, the combination of all of this will mean I feel a lot better tomorrow.determined_new_ms said:sorry you're feeling out of sorts BB.

Hi everyone
@determined_new_ms - Thanks for sorting the donation for Purps
Really struggling with facial pain this last few days, was in bed for 8.30 last night and in bed all afternoon today
but at least its meant a few NSD's. We're moving into Tier 3 tomorrow night which I'm pretty relieved about, not enough people taking this seriously.
Take care all, stay safe and sane.
