My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 41

The #SaturdaySavers programme run with huge dedication and commitment by @shanibeer came to an end with the close of 2025.

But there are a couple of initiatives to keep the motivation going !

I've decided to post them in the BusyBees Community. This is a community set up to support @zakludick's tireless work in encouraging and teaching newer Hive users. Additionally, I'm adding the #SlothlySavers tag and linking my updates in their weekly update post, because that's another place where former #SaturdaySavers are gravitating to.

How Did The Week Go ?

This is going to be a short report ! I was away last weekend so missed out doing a #SaturdaySavers post, although I did do the numbers (shown as Week 40 in the spreadsheet above).

But then this week was totally wiped out by real life as I had to spend a couple of days catching up with work after the weekend away, and then the rest of the week was spent shuttling back and forth to hospital dealing with a health issue my wife had. She is better now, but spending half a day with her in Accident & Emergency at the local hospital is far from my idea of fun ! The staff all work hard, but I don't think I've ever come across a place so chaotic and poorly managed.

So all in all, I didn't have any real time for doing Hive things, which is frustrating.

Hopefully next week will be better ! The mojo is there, just not the hours in the day....

Glad to hear your wife is doing better now. Hospitals are definitely exhausting places to be stuck in for hours.

Thank you ! I think the problem with UK hospitals isn't money (we pay a fortune in tax and National Insurance, it's probably the biggest single expense in the UK Budget), it's poor management and organisation, and using systems and infrastructure that doesn't understand the population has doubled in size in a generation.
