    Ok so I’ve paid my dreaded tax. I’ve been shopping and done some washing, I’ve cleaned one of the bathrooms and put my clothes away which is always good.

    I’ve been dreading today I had to get through something, without meaning to sound too cryptic. and I’ve managed to, relatively unscathed. I’m so happy. I’ve been worrying about it for ages, I didn’t realise how much it was playing on my mind and filling my thoughts but now I can forget about it and move on and life shall remain as normal. Phew!

    Glad you got through relatively unscathed Missy. These things do pray on our minds, don't they? X

    Hey @dawnybabes and @Bluegreen143 thank you so much for taking the time to check in 🥰. I’m ok thanks, fallen off the wagon unsurprisingly with my unrealistic literally spend no money plan. 🤦🏻‍♀️. I always do this and I never learn. I have the best intentions but I just need to be realistic! I’ve had to buy new trainers, and it’s half term and everything adds up. 

    Business has been tricky you need such a thick skin in this game and everyone is out for themselves and we’ve realised there are very few people we consider actual trusted friends lately. So that’s been a bit of a tough blow and we have a difficult/awkward meeting on Saturday to deal with.

    But in other news, I’ve meal planned ok this week, I got to meet my new niece 🥰. Having a lovely half term with the children and have actually been able to exercise to an amount I’m happy with which is always a bonus.

    so it’s not all bad! How is everyone else doing? X
