    I wrote a post and lost it 🤷🏻‍♀️. Been doing delivery jobs today for family . Took DGS to his party and don’t need to pick him up . Decided to come to local RHS and make the most of my membership.

    Not sure where the last 10 days have gone. The news of my Sister in Law passing away has taken a while to sink in even though I knew it was inevitable. I think it's because of her age she was still young. 
    Anyway moving on, have booked myself a lovely little break for 3 nights in mid June in South Lakeland . I am staying in a little apartment for one person with a small kitchen area and bathroom for the bargain price of £58 a night. If I enjoy it I can see myself booking again for September . 
    Have had a few outings with various friends all enjoyable in their own way. Today have taken all 3 grandchildren swimming on my own , they were very well behaved and made it fairly easy for me thank goodness . My eldest DGSis 10 on Monday , not sure where the time goes. 
    I have started to add to my PBs again this month , hoping to build them up again as a bigger EF. The interest from my savings accounts has landed and put into different pots. 
    I am also going to take a look at Vinted over the weekend as eBay are adding another charge on . 
    Work has been incredibly busy this last month and on the 1st April we are amalgamating with another provider so I guess we will be even busier. 

    I am going to meet a friend at a garden centre tomorrow , looking forward to that. That's it for now I guess.
