    Aw thanks @jwil much more like myself today.
    Been busy at work and I am pretty tired now after a full on week. 

    Talking of work there was a call out for weekend cover for this weekend....... I was half considering it but we do have plans with the yoofs that I would miss so whilst I felt guilty I was really verging on saying No.  Fortunately/unfortunately? the boss stepped in and said I'd already done my share of weekends this year and muttered about burnout again. Just had a count up and I've done 12 this calendar year and 8 since new financial year which is pretty hefty (I'm only prorated to do 4 per year) and I've got 6 or 7 to go before April. So I'm giving it a miss 😂 Lord knows how we will.cope next year with quarter of the team off but that's a worry for another night. 

    Just waiting for Mr T for my usual grocery weekly shop. Did have to get milk for work again today but managed to fund that from change in my purse rather than using the debit card - it's the little things !  I am itching ti Tilly tidy my balances down, makes adding up the numbers easier!!!
