    Whoah! For the first time ever I have put up 2 pictures in the living room

    quite pleased - took some time and they're almost level - she says hoping they are and no one will notice! They're the photos I framed alongside the one I did for mother's day present for mum. Nice and spring like to remind me in the depths of winter. Have 2 more still to frame which I'll get out and have a look at again and maybe put them on the other wall to fill it in a bit more.

    Pizza dough currently being magicked up in the BM then just need to roll and prove it while I take the dog out, then come back for some yoga then tea and an hours revision or so

    Good afternoon,

    didn't dare pop in earlier as I knew your activity schedule would put mine to shame :D

    Great that you're enjoying running & also that you managed to have a quick misery blip, indulge & then move on again. It's so important to actually allow ourselves to feel low when it occurs.

    I'm quit good at moving on from misery - give myself 3 days to wallow & then that's it. I still struggle with anger though :o & it's really unhealthy so I'm trying hard to not get so enraged about things in the first place.

    Happy yoging & dog walking.

    Went for a run which was very hard work as I felt I was running on empty so cut it short by a few mins to get back and stuff some food down. So ran 23 mins, dog walk for 20mins

    Then a lovely bath using up a bath oil meaning another £1 went into the treat pot for holidays while listening to the fantastic 5live coverage of the Wigan v West Ham match - the atmosphere sounded great as both teams fought to win and the commentary was brilliant. Always sad when a team is relegated but it has to be 3 up and 3 down.

    Just waiting for tea to finish, the huge pot of ragu to last most of the week as its a busy old week, while having a rather lovely glass of red wine for a nice change.

    I love my pictures on my wall I put up yesterday. Need to have a look for some more frames for the other 2 and think about where I can put them. The room looks much more homely so I might pop a few more up on some different rooms. Now just waiting for Gaga to start who is running at least 30mins late on BBC3

    Been to revision class after work which was good to meet up with some classmates for a giggle then have a chat about where we are in the revision process - eg not started, started or fine with it no probs!

    Another one tomorrow again to drum into my head what I need to cover - eek!

    So off I go to read with a hot chocolate and then sleep! Just over a week to go and the exam is here and when its done, life can get back to some sense of normality again!
