  • Good morning! Today was another natural wake up for me which is always a positive.  Lack of birthday plans last night lead to an early night which I think my ageing body thanks me for haha

    I have made my PAD of £5 to CC7, and a £2 to the sealed pot that I found whilst sorting the laundry this morning.  I have £5 on it's way from Vinted but it hasn't landed yet, and then £18 waiting approval on Prolific.  I'll check on those later. 

    Not a NSD for me today as I am meeting a friend for dinner this evening. Should be low key though and it will be nice to have a catch up. No real plans for the weekend as hubby is working overtime....

    Off for another busy day at work, last one of the week though, hurrah!

    🤦🏾‍♀️ sorry! With the low key plans and an early night, that sounds like my idea of a heavenly birthday celebration nowadays. I certainly don't miss the years when I was incredibly hungover and dehydrated the morning after my birthday or celebrating someone else's... 😬
