Took Ds1 to college and had a picnic, called in at Reghed just to break the journey up and give the chaps a stretch. Called in at Tescos and spent £50 on not very much.
Came home to a phone message, a very dear friend/aunt/legal guardian had died. Feel a bit all over the place, feel like I should be doing something but not quite sure what. Should find out on Tuesday when the funeral is. The only problem is its The Isle of Skye. OH has offered to come and will come if theres a chance of snow. I've offered another lady a lift and she seemed really grateful as she went up in the summer and she had to get 5 trains after just having a hip replacement. She also said she'd share costs which is a big relief. Thinking it may be Friday, would drive up in one go on Thursday and share the driving and stay over.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, had real brain fug today and I really needed to be on the ball. A Site was robbed today and all the money taken at knifepoint. Nobody hurt thank goodness but got the insurance to sort and a million and one other jobs to do. Hoped to finish early but didn't get away until 3.30, been in since 6. Feeling really guilty that the chaps are going to have a rubbish half term as OH can't get any time off.
Didn't sleep well, going to have some nytol tonight and hope that'll knock me out. Off tomorrow so I can wake up in my own time.
