    You sound soooo busy atm - lots of moving pieces - are you coping as you sound uber calm - when I sound uber calm it's usually because I'm overwhelmed!

    I think I'm coping thanks, @rtandon27 - keeping focussed as it doesn't feel as though there's a lot of wiggle room. There's still no personal email regarding work changes and my boss is off till Monday, but at the same time the trip out with friends will be a bit shorter than originally thought so I have an extra hour and a half this morning and an hour afterwards before work. That gives me time to send a birthday card, water plants (another 30C forecast), make a start on Sunday's work and check back with my work emails. I've decided if nothing has come through that I could legitimately email higher up the management chain and ask whether I'm actually on their list of people to send to. As it's lower hours and a small role it would be logical if they're left it till last.

    A small bit of efficiency achieved: downloaded the 🐙app so I can check on things without having to search and log on. Just had a look at the electricity tariff and 31.03p during the day… time we got those solar panels so will take another step with that today, shouldn't take long. Our smart meter appointment is in a couple of weeks.

    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
