    Thankfully last night was a better one. I was seriously thinking of checking myself into a hotel for a night just to get a rest. I was really at the end of my tether.

    So far today has been ok. One nice thing was I popped into Pret a Manger for a takeaway coffee on my way to work and the barista said today it's on the house :) Funny how little things like that make your day.

    Mr M delivery tonight - have stocked up on Costa pods for my Tassimo a they're on offer plus Special K double chocolate bars as they're on offer too and so gorgeous - can recommend.

    Mr SA has started sanding down the walls ready for painting - he made a right mess, dust everywhere, but I soon hoovered/mopped it up. Think I will need to clean the carpet though. I can't complain, he is trying.

    Thanks all

    I had a good night's sleep last night with no disturbances.

    There's always a but ... Mr SA has had a really bad fall today trying to take the dog on the park across the road. He had to be helped back home by two people. One of them told him he was unconscious for a short time but he says he can't remember if he was or not. He seems ok at the moment apart from his ribs hurt where he fell.

    Good news is that he's been accepted for the Motability scheme so we're just waiting to hear from the dealer now.

    I've now finished work until Tuesday :) Will try to put my feet up in between painting sessions Brizzle - we won't be able to paint on Saturday as DS and GD are coming so we don't want any wet paint about.

    Off to WW in a bit.

    Have had a very productive day today :) Got loads of painting done - ceilings and all the woodwork downstairs, cleaned the whole house and got several loads of washing done, dried outside in the lovely sunshine, and ironed :) Shattered now.

    Today has been so sunny and warm we sat and had a coffee in the garden. I know it's forecast bad for the rest of Easter though - what a shame.

    Mr SA is sore but otherwise none the worse for his fall yesterday. He has even managed some painting.
