Health
The whole family has been sick on and off for the last month – I had 3 weeks off work with this flu thats doing the rounds, starting to improve a bit now. No exercise due to being sick and my weight has stayed the same.

Work
Well I’ve been away mostly but I have had a meeting with management where its was indicated that the chances of me being laid off are much higher now. Two more colleagues have resigned. I’ve booked a few more days leave in a few weeks.

I’ve finally completed the training I’ve been doing so I’ll have more time to get back to life outside of work!  I’m not going to take on too much extra work in the next 12 months.

Home
Not much done around the house this month but looking forward to getting back into painting and decluttering this month.
