It's nice to get back to a bit of normality today. I haven't gone into the office, but working from home instead so I can keep nagging DH not to do too much! I have got a quiet day for meetings today so can get stuck in and catch up on things thankfully.
I'm feeling a bit better today, had a good night's sleep last night and have been eating proper food again. Got back to walking the kids to school this morning, as my knee seems to be improving again thankfully."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".

Glad you got some exercise. Definitely be kind to yourself - it's a scary time - that later you'll wonder how you got through. You are doing really well. Take it as easy as you realistically can.
Well done on the PADs and decluttering.
