    The birthday celebrations were lovely over the weekend , it was good to get together with family and friends . 
    Work today and tomorrow, then Wednesday another birthday meal with my closest friend. 
    I am feeling freezing tonight , even with the heating on. I think I need an early night as I keep yawning .
    Money spent over the weekend on birthday but all saved and budgeted for .

    Glad the celebrations are going well. We were in lockdown on my big birthday so I missed out on the little get togethers but we were fortunate enough to be able to make it to Greece for the big day - just!

    Housework done this morning . Last day of my 50's today, I have to say they have been my best decade . Looking forward to the next decade , hopefully fully retired by the end of it. 
    Anyway lunch with some friends at 1pm in the next county .

    Enjoy 😊 Not so bad to be in your 60s, I did it 2 years ago and am still as energetic and lively as I was in my 30s.
