Saw my counsellor his morning, always a good thing. I'll not see him now until Sept. I'm looking forward to a long break, but am glad that there is a return date. I guess that shows that I'm not ready to stop just yet.

Am having a summer break from counselling too. Relieved by mine and not sure I'll go back. Will be interesting to see if a few weeks into the break I miss it.

Breaks in counselling caused by external factors (summer holidays, the heating breaking down in winter, that sort of stuff) can often be really helpful in that sort of decision. Best of luck both

I took dd to sch this morning, then walked up to the shops as the bus would've got me there before the shop I wanted was open. Got home for 9.35, scoffed some brekkie and organised lunch for dd + me and went back to school to pick her up at 10. Took her to the consultant -all fine. Took her back to school for 1.15. Will be going to collect her at 3.15 at the end of the sch day, then take her back at 6 for a leavers' disco and finally pick her up from the disco at 8.

6 visits to her school today. Ooph. I'm glad that we live so near!


Currently on 11k steps. Not going to do a 'formal' workout as I'm still pooped from swimming, still sneezing, still v snotty, and reckon I'll get over 15k steps by the end of the day.


Debtfree -my stepkids are now 28, 30 and 32! When I met their dad they were 10, 11, 13. That suited me just fine, as teenagers were what I was used to. They are great kids and we get on well. I've never tried to be their mum - they already had one of those! Just realised that they are my step kids, but dd's half-siblings.



Am enjoying a little sit down with the Tour.:D

Have had to ease up today, as I've felt pretty rotten . Nowt earth-shattering, just in a sore throaty, snotty, hot/cold, let-me-just-sit-down-for-a-while way.

During an up time, I did do zcut kettlebell #5 - only took me 6 mins! But I did use a light kb.

Today's rain thwarted my plan to mow. It's been on my list for a week now... Well, it's doing just fine there....

Took dd to school then got the tram to go for a swim. I did 20 lengths - felt like I could do more, but knew I needed to pace myself. Then popped to liddle for some items, and found 2x Warburt0n gf mini loaves for 20p each. Happy.



Now watching a bit of the women's Tour.


It's dd's last day and she doesn't want me to collect her. A friend asked if I was going to go anyway, to say goodbye to people, but I said no. Firstly, dd has asked me not to go; secondly, I have said my thank yous and goodbyes already; thirdly, I don't do long, drawn-out farewells.

Hope DD has a nice last day!
