Back to work yesterday, in the office. Apparently it was so busy on Tuesday in the office, they ran out of chairs. We got given office chairs during lockdown , so I wonder if they will be asking for them back.My fixed price energy finished on the 28th Feb, DD increase from £60 to £92 from April. I am just going to keep it the same and see how I go on over the summer. I am saving for energy monthly in a separate account.Council Tax is an extra £3 a month and my rent is £25 extra .On a good note I won £25 on the premium bonds so need to allocate that somewhere.I also bought some Christmas presents in the M@S sale on Tuesday night .Today I need to do some housework in my lunch hour .Tomorrow I am childminding DGS 2 and then off to the theatre.Saturday the shopping with dad and then off to spend the rest of the weekend with my friend .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.2
