Check contents of the freezer and cupboards to sort dinners/lunches for next week
Put some items on ebay as they're doing a free listings weekend
Make some soup/stew/bread and stuffing
Write a list for the shopping and stick to it
Have a glass or 2 of red tonight
Gym first thing in the morning
I hope you all have a good weekend

I did buy myself lots of lovely things and spent much too much money. The eight inch Swarovski zip for a "corset belt" cost £12 alone, but I can reuse it if I ever get rid of the corset and it is rather beautifulMaking magic with fabricLight travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.0 -

Yesterday was a bit odd for me as there was a nasty accident outside my work, where an old boy drifted onto the wrong side of the road and had a head-on with a lorry. Lots of drama/road closed, lost about two hours of working time as couldn't stop shaking. Not a very nice sight on one of the busiest days of the month for me, well, any day for that matter!
Hope things are better today for you, Josie. How sad. Totally shakes you up seeing something like that.
