    Hello my lovely, I'm back but hoping you have recovered enough that you aren't still in need of Valium. Sorry to hear you have been feeling unwell and pooh to the hernia.

    Did you get the passport situation sorted out? Carp about the cost. I once booked flights back to Oz for DD and booked them a month late by mistake, having jumped around trying to find the cheapest price. I contacted the airline but they wouldn't do anything so she was home for an extra month, which I loved but caused her no end of stress. She started uni 5 days after getting home, instead of having a month to sort herself out. I felt so guilty but she was lovely about it.

    Anyway, hope you are feeling better. Talk soon. Love Granny x

    Happy Sunday to all.

    The Tamil Procession came into the area I live so we went and watched that. The Tamil's also were giving away food and soda, (passed on the food, said yes to a can of diet coke) and we listened to them singing which was nice. Also wore the pedometer and up to 5,000 steps without trying.

    Doing some laundry, helping my friend so earned £20 - straight to the bank tomorrow!

    Am going to have a nap then a DIY pedicure.

    We started planning our meals this week using a free printable chart I got online.

    Will take the dogs for a long walk after dinner before the closing ceremonies to up the steps to 10k.

    Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

    Well done on the 5k, you put me to shame today, that's for sure. Having racked up over 10k steps every day for the last 10 days, I'd be surprised if I've managed more than 100 today :D

    Happy Monday

    after having a good sob over my relationship last night, I woke up today feeling out of it. Nevertheless I tromped off to the bank with my deposit and paid it in.

    that might be all I can accomplish today besides going to work x

    Hi PinoG thanks for stopping by. I think maybe a few days off to shake it all off will be a good start. On the upside I have paid more to "Them" so things moving in the right direction xx
