    Think 2016 has been a tough year for lots of us. So a 2017 would be a good time to look after ourselves better :)

  • Hi Sam

    I'm sorry to hear that your special Christmas is for kind of urgent reasons, but I hope it's wonderful.

    Totally agree about looking after you better in 2017

    Hello Sam,
    Are you spending Christmas with the friend you told us about a short while back when she was first diagnosed? I'm sure you'll make it magical for her.

    I couldn't agree more about looking after ourselves better. MTxx

  • Bit of a spendy day - xmas cards ( reduced) and 2 presents brought.


    Packet of Jacket pot's and some milk.


    So tuna/ cheese jacket for supper.


    Got a round of washing on the go.


    Ebay dress still not arrived a week and a half later but still have a couple of days before its needed for the work do.


    Fingers crossed it arrives.


    Going to declutter the wardrobe again - seem to be happy with what clothes I have but still only wearing 20% of it - so if I CBA under the bed in the suitcase the rest of it will go.


    I have far too many shoes too be honest! ... that have crept back in to the collection.


    I need to come up with what I need / wear weekly rather than the bloggy type capsule people say i.e. you should have 1 skirt, 2 shirts etc .


    I know I have an array of jumpers, scarfs etc coming my way at xmas. I also have stuff at plus one's .


    Kitchen and cupboards clean - was stressed/ low today so decided to utilise the energy in a positive way.


    All accounts looking good - whoop whoop.


    Need to get some xmas paper tomorrow as well, also buying a lottery ticket ( not that hope is my strategy or anything ..lol ) but you got to be in it to win it and all that.

    I was a bit spendy today too.
    I know what you mean about using stressed energy positively too
    Hope you get some relaxation in this weekend

    Thank you, you too I think we are often far to hard on ourselves.


    I've done some small good deeds today to boost my "share the love" levels :D
