    I looked at the family plan, but it turns out you need Duolingo max to get unlimited lives, which is even dearer than the ad free version…so I didn’t bother.

    I've upgraded and got unlimited hearts.  I did during the trial for super as well.  Max says it's conversation practice which I'm not fussed about.  It was another thing I wanted as well as the ads because I make too many mistakes and it's frustrating when I have to stop when I'm on a roll  :D

    A few survey cashouts today mean a nice pad :)

    We have visitors today, so not much else planned other than little miss's swimming tonight.  It's very autumnal out there today so I'm putting a casserole in the slow cooker.  The kids can have jacket potato as they won't eat it.

    Found out yesterday that yet another person is not going forward.  That means all senior staff with direct links to my area don't have roles in the new structure. That's a lot of experience gone!

    I've put in an online consult with the GP.  I feel like my anxiety is getting worse and worse, however much I try and work on it. I thought it would be better when I was on leave, but it's worse, maybe work and running around distracts me more.  

    Little miss had a good time with her friend earlier, so that's good.  Not much else done today.

    Bless you @jwil I hope the Dr can help. I find I’m super anxious when I’m off work. Worrying about what I’ve not done and if ill be in trouble and what changes have been made whilst I’m away. So I completely get your worries. All of mine were unfounded though, and my anxiety started to die away when I had been back at work a few days. You have so much going on with your job and changes you’re bound to feel anxious. Look after yourself x
