Physio was very good and it feels like I'm coming on leaps and bounds already (not literally)
Lots of financial activity as it is coming up to the end of the financial year and I've been making extra payments to reflect the payments that I would usually make up to next Wednesday (we're on holiday Saturday to Tuesday). I also got c. £8 from TCB and won £25 on the PB draw. Since yesterday:- £1,212.52 paid off CC
- £195 paid into SIPP (birthday money and an extra fiver) - £243.75 after tax relief - future Mr E says yay
- £11.28 OPed and paid into ISA
