DH got told to await a call from his GP today, so hopefully he'll hear from them. I think he should have taken the day off but he's gone in.
I had another bad night's sleep last night, fed up with it! So today I think my chair and some books call. I need to pop to the supermarket to get a couple of things I didn't manage to get in my delivery the other day but that won't take long.
One of the items we posted the other day has been listed in the tracking as 'damaged beyond repair' so I need to find out what's happened there, and how to get the money back so I can refund the buyer! I always pack well, so can only assume they've driven over it or something, it was in a big box! Very frustrating."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -

Hope everything is OK? XXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy2 -
