    Today has not been too bad and I will whisper it quietly but I am slowly start to see some light at the end of a very long tunnel. I have been juggling so much recently I just have felt like it is never ending but we are getting there and today has felt successful.

    It is Friday eve! I am gutted coz I thought yesterday was Thursday so was gutted when I got up today and it was Thursday 🤣. I am so ready for the weekend and have got not very much planned at all.

    The car is still having a few slight issues that are concerning. I am actually thinking of reverting to getting a company car. I need to look how that would work and see whether it would be the best idea even if was just to allow me to start building up some savings towards a new personal one should I leave this job (which although I get frustrated I can't see happening in the near future). My allowance is a pretty decent one, I would have to get hybrid although our company would prefer I got full electric. I just don't have the setup for that, so I would get hybrid. I am not really in a position to fund another car right now and I really don't want to finance one, so this seems like a good middle ground for now.

    Traffic seems to have been horrendous this week so it has felt like such a long week but I have really managed to feel like I have mad good progress through my tasks. All my normal Friday calls have been cancelled too, so the plan tomorrow is to do more catch up admin
