Hi thanks for asking after me 🥰 I’m not very well and haven’t been for a few months so not felt like posting. I haven’t got the energy to go into details but I’ve been signed off work for around 9 weeks now and I’m waiting for a Rheumatology appointment. I might post sometimes but I can’t commit to it due to feeling so ill. I am spending a lot of time in bed asleep because I’m just exhausted all the time . Anyway that’s me, I hope everyone is ok in diary land xxxOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1208
