Thanks thriftylynny, Time2count and SQS 😊
Still feeling a bit meh but it doesn’t seem to be developing into anything thankfully. Just feel tired. Sun made an appearance this afternoon so I walked up to the red phone box “community library” and dropped off 2 books. Walked back round the village & have been resting with feet up since.Aquafit in the morning & going to my friends for a cuppa in the afternoon. I have suddenly received a £3 credit on my asd@ app. Not sure why, it says cashpot correction 🤔 That gives me £4.05 credit so I will pop in on the way home from aqua and treat me & friend to a cake 😋0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
