    You do an amazing job with all the shuffling and are ALWAYS honest and positive that is why we love you.

    You are the most important and your health and well being is top priority - there will always be other deadlines (SADLY)

    Glad you are home and safe.

    Someone will be over the moon with that furniture and a few years back that person could have been you or me so sometimes its good to give to get shot and you never know that could make someones day.

    You always do the right thing. I hope you are getting some moggie cuddles as well.

    Oh dear - had forgotten how fast I get bored with being ill :rotfl:... have been spending.

    Bought an extra milk pan, as it's the only thing I use twice in the day and that causes me to grumble about wanting a dishwasher. I figured it's a whole lot cheaper and greener to buy an extra pan so I can still just do one lot of washing up a day :D

    Ordered a robot hoover - not one of the madly expensive ones, just the cheapest self docking I could find with good reviews. Hoovering is my least favourite chore and hopefully if the robot can keep downstairs a bit more presentable that will lower my stress and resentment levels. Losing a few days to being ill means it's unlikely I will be paying for garden work out of this paycheque so figured it was a next priority.

    Been campervan window shopping - not a spend just yet, but think I've found a dealer to visit as they look to focus on the kind of thing I want. Plus they're near family and friends so I can make a weekend of it :j

    Online delivery worked really well and I may make that a regular thing - I thought it would cost me extra for delivery, but as I've now got in the habit of doing stock-ups in the supermarket on the way home from work and topping up with bits from the local shop, it was actually free for my usual spend anyway. Well, less than my spend this time :o things clicked themselves, honest... hopefully having a usual order list and less time exploring might cut that down!

    How did I miss you are unwell? I hope you are okay.
    I see you all snuggled up looking at camper vans with a huge cup of tea and a cat nearby.
    Take care :)
