    Heartily fed up with this rain. Feeling lucky though when I see the floods everywhere. It must be devastating to see your things under water.
    Not much to report here - another NSD - another day of not a lot happening. 
    I’m not holding my breath tomorrow at SW - did really well until Wednesday then I’ve eaten all sorts of everything.

    This awful weather is getting boring now :( 

    I'm like you I don't make long term plans, I take things week to week.  Somebody up there likes to keep throwing a spanner in the works for me, one of my friends reckons I must've broken a mirror 7 years ago because that's went it all started going pear-shaped :|

    Hope SW went well yesterday, the weather has been dry today at least , well up to about 10 mins ago. The Ice cream man is playing a tune as I write, it must be spring . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I didn’t go to Slimming World on Saturday - I couldn’t face it - I’d done really well until mid week then lost the plot.....and I haven’t found it again. I need to get the summer clothes out that I can’t fit in to remind me of what I want to wear.....see if that shocks me into submission 🤔😳.....or maybe I need my mouth zipping up 🤐😳😂
    At weekend I did some tidying up downstairs and contemplated some more about the downstairs loo dilemma. Went over to ds and went out for a ride in the car and something to eat.  On Sunday I started on upstairs - sorted some baby toys from the gks room which haven’t been touched for a while to go to charity shop and bought a couple of  sylvanian family toys to take their place.  I plan to add a few bits to the collection for them to play with when they come  to stay. If they come on the train with dd they can’t carry toys with them so we need things here. I’ve got a few bits from charity shops but the ones I bought on Sunday were reduced in JLewis. Then I set to and continued sorting upstairs and put all the camp beds up for next weekend when they’ll be home again and fell in bed at 9 o clock - just in time to watch Last Tango in Halifax.
    I go for the scan results tomorrow after work, over to ds on Wednesday and a GP appointment and gks arriving Friday after work - so a busy week after work.

    MSE wise my ds recommended something called my airtime (I think) back in November. I registered - he got vouchers as did I at the time. Anyway I forgot about it and he asked me how much I’d earned when I saw him at weekend. When we looked I’d earned over £17 😁 I redeemed £10 which has gone straight into my phone account- so I’ll get a free month next month (my phone is £8 a month)  - it was certainly worth it. If anyone fancies it let me know and I’ll try and recommend you- technophobe alert😳😂
