    Finished thanks @CCW007, @maggiem 😊

    Finished ‘early’ today as had a physio appointment this afternoon about my shoulder. Yes, it’s rotator cuff, it will take 8 to 12 weeks to recover with minimal use … 🙄🤷‍♀️ I have exercises to do - I have started those already. There is one that will be my barometer as I am supposed to do 20 repeats but I am struggling to do 2 ….

    Financial updates done after not getting time to do them at the weekend. Very little happening, credit card spend looks quite low for this month. Hoping that by payday I will be able to make a reasonable OP and deposit into savings … 🤞😊

    I have mint rooting in a glass in the kitchen that I will pot up tonight 😊 🌿 I have also started off another avocado pit over water 😊 🥑

    KK you're on it like a car bonnet...it sounds to me like HR is on your side here.  Is it worth raising it formally? You are so much better than this.  Love Humdinger xx
