Earthgirl gets back on track!

Hi All,
We had a lovely day, I really enjoyed going on a lovely walk, and collected some leeks and daffs. I have cleaned up an ebay 99p purchase of a push along car for earthlet, and a spare buggy, but I haven;t done any cleaning inside I have listed my ebay stuff, though, so after a quick drink at a friends I should be able to do some cleaning - dinner is bubbling away in the slow cooker.

Such a busy week next week, including having my hair cut at the college and doing a pizza mystery shop - yum yum! I also want to do a bit or gardening too.

I didn't actually realise how good a buy it was until I saw your comment SStoS and they retail at about £100! This one doesn't have an electric dashboard on it, but it has everything else! Sure I can buy him a horn or something!

Anyway had a broken nights sleep, so a little tired today. Washing is on the line, have to plan a double lesson for 1pm, and feed us all.

Then I might do my gardening - sorting strawberries and maybe starting some lettuce. I would like to do a meal plan for the week too and still need to clean the house!!

Unfortunately my Grandmother has suddenly passed away. Her funeral will be next Monday. It is good know that she is a lot happier in heaven, but a bit of a shock none the less. I'll have to organise travel arrangements today, and get my other things done too! Had a great sleep so where is my energy?

Sorry to hear about your grandma. That is bound to be a bit of a shocker for you, no wonder you have no energy this morning. Take it easy xx

Thank you all! It warms your heart after a tearful day to have nice messages on here - Thank you. My grandmother was old, but not ill, and this was unexpected, so a postmortem was done today. I can't get through to my dad at the moment, but I presume the funeral will be going ahead as planned.
I have lots of lovely memories of having my grandparents around when I was young, and I know she is happy now with my grandad.

I have booked train tickets to and from the funeral, and rearranged or cancelled any clients that I needed to.

I had a bit of a mini lightbulb moment tonight driving back from a clients house. All of the cars were beeping at each other and racing to get home, a big black range rover was driving particularly menacingly behind me because I was careful at a roundabout. Going over a bridge I looked down and saw a barge tootling along on the canal, just before the sun had gone down, with a man on the tiller, just easing it down the canal. I had a flash of feeling as free as that - fresh air in my lungs, all wrapped up and cosy, no cares or worries, no rush or stress. It hit me like a jolt. No I don't want to give it all up and live on a barge! but I am going to carry on working and saving and making money this way so that I can be free of my mortgage and spend more time doing what I want to do and just feeling free and carefree.. what a lovley feeling that would be!
