We had a nice wander to the coast this morning, but I've been in bed all afternoon. I couldn't get warm and felt really grotty. I was hoping to have a nap, but couldn't sleep. Hopefully it won't be hanging around tomorrow! I haven't done any of the prep I was planning.
Just waiting for the kids to go to bed so I can get everything out and then go to bed myself!
Have a good one everyone "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee2 -
