Still awake........:p going to have to face the fact sleep is just not happening, never mind its another beautiful day and i am going to do 2 things:

do the planting i keep meaning to do - done can't wait for everything to grow now
look for fabric to finish off my patchwork bag - done found the perfect thing

anything else i manage to do will be a bonus

Also been out doing some sorting in the garage - have got the old kitchen cupboards set up in there and made a bit more room. Will take another good few days out there to get it finished but pleased with what i got done.

Superpoints done

Ordered a big pack of dressmaking pins

Got OH to contact mortgage company at last!

Got kitchen units moved about in the garage so now have some good storage space

Cleaned the kitchen

Made a yummy dinner of paella

Hope everyone has a fabby sunshiney day

It's nearly the weekend already - we are of to see my middle sis tomorrow, me son#2 and my cousin are going to yo sushi for lunch then going to a gig in Manchester where one of our friends is playing, we will hopefully get to meet Badly Drawn Boy, a hero of ours there, and get some stuff signed, then craft fayre with sis on Sunday and on Monday go see my Nieces gig before heading home, really looking forward to seeing everyone, it has made a real difference stopping treatment as I have more energy to do things now and my mental health has improved, I honestly thought this time last year that i would never drive again! so a big turn around.

I do however have to plan going back to work after easter, i did try it for 5 months post treatment but think I was still so exhausted from it that it made me ill, hopefully now i have reduced my hours I shall be able to keep up

Happy Thursday everyone - Keeeeep stepping!!!:rotfl:

Morning Steppers - Did I manage to beat you all to the first post?

Did you miss me - been back from skeggy for about an hour, just shovelled some KFC. Forgot to take the dongle but it has been quite liberating without the internet for 4 days!!

Had a fab time - weather was lovely, have a bit of a glowing tan and spent a lovely few days doing cheesy seaside things like riding the fun fair, building sand castles and eating too many portions of chips :rotfl:

Looking forward to falling into my bed in a few mins as the ones there were like slabs! Will be back in the morning with my steps for friday - will involve lots of washing!! Hope you are all doing great :heartsmil
