    I’ve had my letter from the council Tax telling me that I will get my £150 in April. That’s good as it will just replenish my savings. 

    I’m owed £150 switching fee as well so again that’s another savings replenishment. Every little bit will really help now just to secure future pay.

    Morning Willowtree 

    sorry to hear you’re still not feeling well. Is is still covid symptoms. My friend no longer has symptoms apart from being exhausted, napping a few times during the day. She is now negative so can go out although doesn’t feel like she has energy to. 

    I got council tax bill to, our £150 has been deducted from the April payment so I’ll make sure I put that away to cover the gas/electricity in winter if they put it up again.

    Hopefully you’re having a relaxing weekend x

    Morning,

    Yes still Covid symptoms. Just tired all the time now.

    I’ll use it to put straight into savings. It’ll help me get September’s pay. I should get almost a full pay with redundancy money but just in case x

    Hi,

    Had to phone the dr this morning and I’ve been prescribed steroids and antibiotics. My body has a strong immune reaction to things and it’s reacting very strongly to Covid which explains my tiredness. It’s in overdrive and needs to calm down a bit. I’m off work still and waiting a call tomorrow about how long I’ll be off for. 

    Nothing I can do though.

    Thank you.

    I’m off for two weeks now. That will help me feel better as I can get all the sleep I need at night and during the day too.

    I forgot it was Mother’s Day this weekend and hadn’t accounted for that spend.

    I’d overpaid into my childcare account and didn’t realise you could request it back so managed to get the £50 back out. That will pay for Mother’s Day now. 

    Still owed £150 switching
    £150 council tax rebate 
    £115 friend when he collects the stuff. That’s enough to keep me going and to put some away.

    Feeling more human today so everything is definitely working. 

    The weather is helping too. I’ve managed to wash everything and focussed on putting clothes away. Things look so much neater now and I have a line full of washing that’s drying beautifully!
