Thank you for the birthday wishes .I had the most lovely day with my family , I was bowled over by the gifts I received .On Saturday I went to the big shopping centre near me on the bus to the fruit shop and updated my technology.Also got nice new underwear from M&S .I have managed to invest my lump sum , waiting for forms from one BS but the rest is away out of sight out of mind not to be touched .I had a smart meter for gas fitted on 6th December and it doesn't appear to be doing any readings so I have no idea how much I will get charged this month.I have tried phoning energy supplier twice with no joy.Have found out that DDs MIL is going away on hols again for the month of Jan so I am going to be very busy until the end of Jan .WFH today and tomorrow then that's me finished for 2 weeks . Hoping to get the odd lie in between children and parents .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.2
