Thank you, I’ve been to the doctor this afternoon and it’s time (again) to put me first! I’m going to try my very best to eat well and exercise through swimming and walking during this period of applying for jobs and getting new work in. Feeling positive, well ish!Makingabobor2 said:Declaring one for today.
@MrsCautious, sorry to hear you lost your source of income but I agree, health must come first. That's why I retired early, even though I still had 18 months to go until state pension kicked in. It was a tough 18 months, but I feel better for it and things are looking up now. Enjoy your break1 -
Thank you @cathybird I have a lot to be grateful for and need to take time for me - I’ve had to do this before and am feeling positive! But still a little anxious which is understandable. Got to be kind to me!2
