    Just relaxing at home, baked potato in the oven for dinner. I got my most recent assignment back and got a really good score so I’m very pleased about that. I’ve got a wash on and need to put the dry washing away. I still have a cold and I think it’s a sinus infection now. Going to finish more chores and have dinner. Then knit and watch tv and an early bed.

    They are ok. I put something on them last month but I’ve sat down and given myself a stern talking to about using them. I only have one, which is nearly up to the limit. It always seems like such an emergency but I really don’t need to spend on it. Hoping to make quite a big payment when I get paid, get it under 2k and keep it that way.

    Got my council tax bill for the year. It’s gone up which is bearable but obviously not ideal. I had a relaxed evening yesterday knitting. I have finished a hat and just need to sew the ends in. I’m not sure what my next project will be.

    I’m off to a friend’s a bit later for a coffee and a chat. It should be enjoyable especially as the sun is forecast to shine. It’ll be a low spend weekend.

    I may be taking a trip to see a friend at Easter. She lives in Scotland so it’s a long way plus she can’t host so I’ll have accommodation costs. But I haven’t seen her for a few years and she’s had a very tough time with various things. It would be good to see her. We will have to see.

    Hi I am a lurker but hopping on to say take the trip to see your friend in Scotland. I have a trip in the planning to see friends I haven’t seen in 25 years (uni friends) in September always put off but determined to visit this year

    Yes absolutely! I recently went back to Cornwall to see old friends, well worth it especially when they’ve been through hard times. I stayed in an apartment but it was ideal as I could see various friends on different days.
