Haha 😂 dont worry @beanielou @daisy_1571 Mr Ck works outdoors and doesn't seem to feel the cold and thinks the rest of us should work around his body temperature. I think he's see its as a personal achievement to last as long as possible.

I do not share the Bear Grylls mentality and will not hesitate to put the heating on when I'm cold or if the temperature drops the heating will kick on automatically.

To be fair it has been a mild Autumn so far but l will post when the, "official switch on" takes place 😆

Morning all,

Apologies for being MIA. The last few weeks have been busy and stressful 😒.

Our neighbour passed away, it was expected but still very sad. My mom was rushed into hospital and has been there for a week, awaiting further surgery and at work we discovered a trusted colleague was in fact committing fraud so bad the police are now involved.

Finances have taken a hit, with what turned out to be an expensive trip to the dentist and paying for treats over half term. It now appears something else is wrong with Mr Ck's car so that needs investigating.

Oh, and the heating switched itself on 😂

Awwh thanks @Jessy103.

Moms second operation is today, its not deemed to be risky but I'll be glad when she's out of theatre.

Morning all,

I'm feeling really tired today.

A week of going backwards and forwards to the hospital on top of all the other things is beginning to take its toll 😒. Mom ended up having a third operation on Friday and will be in hospital for at least another week.

My workload this week looks overwhelming with full days scheduled until Saturday. We have an audit team coming into work to look into all our paperwork / procedures thanks to former colleagues behaviour 🙄. Although l had nothing to do with it l cant help but feel worried.

On top everything else I'm struggling with peri menopause symptoms. My once clockwork schedule is now all over the place.

Rant over

I have many reasons to be grateful, I have an incredible family. My mom's condition is improving and once this week is through l have a whole weekend with very little planned.

Oh and in money news that is after all what this forum is all about 😉l was able to add another £2000 to the property pot. New total is £18,750.
