Thinking of you and sending get well wishes and gentle (((hugs))) XXXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy2 -

I'm not going to tag you all as I'm way too exhausted but thank you so much for the lovely wishes. The growths that were to be removed could not be found (? a bit odd but lets go with it) and the biopsy taken.
Last night I really couldn't face food so suggested the VNM popped out and bought me a pre made sandwich from the local marks at the garage and a bag of crisps and I had a picnic in bed at home. Lovely.
This morning I am exhausted. The hospital suggested a 2 week 'sick note' but being self employed that isn't going to work. Instead I will answer a few emails for an hours then go back to bed to meditate and nap.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!9 -
Good to have you back - rest when you need to. Your body will let you know if you listen to it. Rest now = quicker recovery.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Make sure you rest between working, it’s hard when you’re self employed to actually ‘stop’ but if you need to you need to xSealed pot challenge 822
