    Glad to hear you are back home and on the mend 
    a months rest will hopefully see you back up to normal 
    please ignore your to do list ! 
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

  • Hello SavingHolmes. Congratulations on the new roof, that's a good job to get done and out the way.  I'm so sorry to hear you were so poorly and in the hospital.  It's good you're home and have been given sufficient time off to recoup. Get well soon.

    Can I ask what the Salt Trilogy is that you're listening to?  It sounds like something I could do with too.  Thank you.

    Take lots of care of yourself.  I hope you're feeling better and that you have the blue skies we have here to cheer you a little.

    For now you need to take it easy - watch the sunsets and listen to the owls - that is enough for now,
