    Thanks Sunaddict.

    It is hard because I want people to know they don't need to tolerate this, but equally when dealing in legal the things you have to go through and the reports they write about you are tough to get through.

    This weekend my body decided to succumb to the cold most people I know have. DD also has it too.

    This weekend was our bands autumn concert so we performed last night and we are performing again today. Not the best to do when we have a cold and struggling to breathe with brass instruments!!!

    I am not going for the whole event today though, just our playing bit and then will come home and relax.

    Lots of frogs dealt with this week.

    Refund furniture collected so that will be refunded this week.

    Tax refund will take a lot less time.

    It is fine. Everything happens for a reason and it has moved me in a different direction x

    It doesn't feel like much is going on, but really busy.

    Refund of £91 arrived today. That is the last until tax is returned.

    Payday for my last month is tomorrow. That will last two months for bills.

    Had the electrician in today and he did lots of little jobs. I also did a count of how many bulbs were out and I replaced them all today. The house is so much brighter! The living has five bulbs in its arrangement and three were out. The hall had 2 out of 3 out. All now working perfectly.

    I did some studying today and checked my diary for the week. I have some November orders so made sure the early November stock was in. I have ten bookings for a wreath class I am hosting. I hope it gets to 15, as that will be amazing. I plan to make up some hampers as well to sell on the day. A range of mini secret santa presents through to a bigger hamper.

    Getting ready for DD's burr box as well. Stuffed a Gloria ghost teddy into a balloon ready for inflating.

    I had forgotten about the furniture refund! That should be due latest Monday..

    Here is said Gloria the ghost. She will look totally different when I inflate it.

    Managed to get the things I needed today and electrical works will be completed tomorrow.

    Coming to the end of the house jobs now. All should be done by mid November.

    I have been invited to do the Autumn season for the summer work I do. That is Christmas paid for, thankfully. January is also covered, so between now and February, I need to earn £1000 to cover February's bills.

    If the tax comes in, that will cover February.

    Got some orders coming in as well. That is making me feel a lot better.
