    Good morning! I feel like I slept much better last night, so I think the anxiety might be dissipating a little. I do feel like I could sleep for about 3 days though.  I really feel like getting back in bed!

    Today I have filled my £17 envelope and added £5 to the sabbatical, as well as a little bank account round down to the sealed pot. It will be a NSD for me today as I have no plans except driving to the hospital. 

    I am already half way through book 41, I am making the most of quiet TV-free evenings whilst hubby isn't here :D I am just joking of course, I can't wait to have him home and it be back to normal. 

    That's it in terms of updates for me, I do have a very busy work day ahead so that should keep my mind occupied whilst I am waiting for news.

    Have lovely days

    Hi all, I hope you're all doing OK? I had another good night's sleep last night so I'm feeling better than I have in ages. It was another evening of reading and no TV so this could be contributing to it maybe. I have never been a fan of the TV soaps, but have been known to binge some series on streaming now and again (well quite a bit). 

    Today is a NSD for me, DH is being discharged today so I will be going to collect him from the hospital later :) .  I've PADded £5 to the sabbatical this morning as usual, nothing else happening in the accounts. 

    I've nothing much to add at the moment, still working my way through book 40 :)
    Have lovely days!

    It's lovely to have hubby back home, but I do feel now that I still need to be in 2 places at once so I can keep an eye on him... It doesn't help that work is so busy at the moment and there's a lot of stress there. I am looking forward to a long weekend as I am off on Friday this week. 

    Today's PAD included £53 from dice rolls to the sealed pot and £5 to the sabbatical as usual. It's a NSD for me as I don't have time to go anywhere haha.

    I checked Prolific this morning and I had £1.75 pending for ages and it's now disappeared... not rejected, no longer pending - just gone! Bit miffed at that :(

    Oh, I did finish book 40 last night and started book 41 so that's good :) 

    Catch you all later

    Hi all, I hope you're all OK and haven't melted in the heat... it was unbearable last night :(

    Just a quick update today between work meetings as it's still super-busy for me. It'll be a NSD today, last one for a while as we have some plans for the weekend (I'm off tomorrow) and I've sent the usual £5 to the sabbatical as part of my PAD. 

    Book 41 is a hard one to put down so I read for much longer than I intended last night, I am already halfway though it. :o 

    That's it from me
