DD came home for a couple of days which was great and much laughter has been had. She's planning some interesting trips for the summer and wants a holiday with us too
I am sitting with two cookery books at the moment - JO 30 min and HB food tour of Britain. I'm looking for some new dishes that we haven't tried.
I've OPd the £150 SkY saving :T
I've had my hair cut at the local college and they've done a brilliant job for 1/3 of my usual cut. Will be doing this from now on.
Having done completely b£gger all for a month I need to get moving. I'm off to the gym tomorrow for the first time in ages.
Tomorrow will be a long dog walk and the gym.
I hope everyone is feeling well, healthy and at peace.

Glad you are feeling better Tilly.
I've got both of those books - done a few 30 min ones but none of the HBs - be interested to hear how some of those turn out.

Morning, sad to say I'm still not back to work as this bug has knocked me off my feet. I am however feeling much stronger and giving myself a number of things to achieve in a day.
I've OP £90 this morning
Mr T took me to London last night, although I wasn't sure I'd make it - to see Sir Simon Rattle conduct at the Royal Festival Hall - what an amazing evening and did both the soul and my heart good. I apprciate I'm going to be worn out today as a result, but worth it. Mr T bought me a glass of wine £6.50 :eek:
I didn't make the gym on Saturday, not enough energy yet for that.
Right, I need to call mum, then do a few work mails, then have a rest. Boy this is very boring.
Best wishes to everyone.
