Well a turn up for the books - I had a lovely visit with my mum! She was quite chatty and we even had a dance. Although it was mainly me she was chatting too my dad was happy to see her like this. Although the bad times out weigh the good it’s great when she’s like that.
The film was very good too so good day all in.
Back at work today and it seemed a long 12 hours but off now for the weekend 🎉
Flaky friend is visiting tomorrow or so she said but no contact for a couple of days, to be honest a day to myself would be lovely but haven’t seen her in ages so would be nice to see her.Mortgage OP 2026 £1990/2000Mortgage balance: £29,071
