A wonderful day of joy back at work. I feel rubbish but think it's just a rough TOTM so hopefully will ease soon. I've spent half the day being irritated at people who don't read emails properly so ask questions that have already been answered, and those who spent a whole week rearranging a meeting, but didn't think to look at my calendar to see if I was free, so they spent all that time sorting out dates, for me to say I can't come 🙄
In interests of balance, I'm sure I irritate as many people
DH sold 6 items yesterday so they've gone. It all helps!
I think I need to go and curl up with a hot water bottle. Have a good evening "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 McGee3 -

I'm feeling a bit better today thankfully, so am going to head into the office for a change. It's been a while due to the endless coughs in the house!
I've made myself a packed lunch so very MSE, it's 50:50 as to healthy and not. I guess that means balance
I don't have a lunchbox that doesn't leak slightly so don't want to take salad as I'm walking so it will get jiggled around and I've turned up too often with a bag that is damp and stinks of my lunch. Something I need to resolve!
Have a good day everyone."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 -
