    I should get paid £50 for my zoom call tonight which will be going towards the marbles card nearer the end of the month as I don't want to fall short as I've not got a lot of money left to hand this month. I'll need to work my budget out as I've got £75 left until payday.

    Morning all! I'm up and having a coffee I was getting ready to go to work but I feel real sick and drained from this jab yesterday! I've had to call in sick at work as I don't feel safe driving myself to work today. I'm gonna try and get some extra rest and hopefully I'll feel better in time for the dog photoshoot this evening otherwise I'll not get my deposit back of £45! Take care all gonna rest up!

    Morning, awe sorry to hear your not feeling great. I got mines on Saturday and the only symptom I had was my arm felt heavy when lifting it up. My colleague had no symptoms with his first one but second he was off for few days with headache and nausea. Take it easy x

    Same for me, had my first one earlier this week and I was really tired for a couple of days.  No other side effects though.
    Hope you have a nice time in Cardiff @jadewest94
