    The aches and temperature fluctuations have eased by I am still easily fatigued.

    I have a 70th birthday party to attend on Saturday and I’ve set myself a target of 2 hours. I don’t want a late night because I want to go to a carboot sale on Sunday morning.

    I bought myself a bunch of yellow roses, a smelly candle, and a house magazine today to cheer myself up. I managed an hour sat at my dining table, reading and admiring the roses by candlelight this afternoon. Drank a ready made G & rhubarb T, and ate a salmon and cream cheese sandwich and felt very decadent doing so.

    Back in bed (with the pooches) again now.

    I hope everyone else is well and enjoying Valentine’s Day 💝

    £4.50 Vinted sale today and £2.75 from earlier in the week.  Chipping away at the Nationwide cc. Hoping to see that in the 200s by the end of the month. I pay £40 per month and will now add the Very minimum payment plus any Vinted sales.
