I have small veins too. When I went for my last blood test last week I mentioned this to the nurse and she was in a vile temper, as she had been for a blood test the day before and they hadn’t got any out of her, she just grabbed my arm (didn’t put a plastic strap on it or anything, stabbed, said oh it moved! and then stabbed again in the same arm! Flipping hurt and was a bit bloody, but it was certainly quick! 😂
I have resigned from the Parish council. This is something I have been wanting to do since May last year but for various reasons haven’t felt able to. There was an opportunity so I have jumped into it! The Chair completely understood as she w ants to resign too! 😂
Just got to the end of the year and I will be free of it! 😊

Congratulations on resigning!
Finally have another OAT ticked off. The skip has gone. Hurrah.
(Also personal OAT that I shared on my diary, bought clip in hair topper which has been something I have thought about for years now, and I love it).Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0
