    that's a great plan, what surveys are you doing ? I tend not to do them, I probably should 
    Just 1 poll I probably should do more but it’s something for now.

    I won the lottery…ok only £30 but that’s more than I have in the past😂 £15 to loan and £15 to fun funds. 

    I have finally finished the celebratory eating and getting back on track. 
    Spent yesterday decorating and back at it today, I should have done it at the beginning of the holiday then I would have been able to rest guilt free but we live and learn…

    So it’s back to work today and nightshift for me tonight, so I have been for a big walk and will now attempt to relax and snooze like my wee cat does so well. I forgot she was out when I popped out earlier to the vets so it was a surprise when she heard my car and ran into the runway😂 she’s been relaxing ever since…

    Got a message saying my bb is going up in March, given that the cat meds have doubled in price I am just wondering how much longer we can all cope. El and I will have to start up that 0nly f@ns for weird foot fetishises after all😂😂😂
