What a wonderful week we had. Sunshine every day. Met a couple of ladies from Barnsley who were great with dgd as well. We took them out and about some of the time.
But the best day ever for dgd was meeting the dolphins and we have a video of it for prosperity too.
Came home today with a very early morning and I am ready for bed.
The sun did its job and my hands were fine.
Back to work tomorrow though.

Morning, what a weird night of broken sleep and bad dreams.
I had expected a decent sleep in my own bed but I have woken up really jaded after that. I will definitely be dragging my self about this morning.
Cup of tea for me and the tv on to just catch up on the news as I didn't really get much while away.
I tried to visualise my next steps towards my dreams and goals but my mind kept wandering off completely. I am obviously out of practice.
Believing in my progress is important and visualisation helps me to believe in the future working out.
I have had the same goals for several years, and believe in my progress but I am slightly frustrated that I am stalling along the way.
I think that the reason why is my mind going off on a tangent all the time.
I shall focus on focusing if you get what I mean.

Raising a glass of wine in memory of my Dad who died suddenly 2 years ago today. I think he would be proud of how well Mum has coped, and how my little fledgling business has survived and grown
Cheers Dad!

Everyone is intitled to a wobble under the circumstances.. I thought I had got over my mum's death and the 1st anniversary was just another day, untill I burst into tears in front of a customer just writing the date, thankfully a colleague was available to take over and I was able to continue my day with non customer facing tasks.

My thoughts are with you, it will never be an easy date.

I am sure he would have been proud of all you have achieved.

Having a slow start to my day. No dashing about. I am just going to have my breakfast, I have moved the washing on, hung up what I could and washed up the dishes from last night, taken some chicken out of the freezer for tea tonight.
Spoken to Mum and decided that I will take her to Cornwall as BF wasn't very fussed either way.
I need to clean out the hamster cage now that we have found him! I will then go to Mum's and do her chores. I don't have to be back for 3 today so the time pressure is off.

Yesterday morning I put the hamster in his ball while I wrestled with taking his cage apart to clean it. Frustrated with my hands it took me ages. When finally finished I turned around to get him from his ball and he had gone! Hudini has nothing on this hamster. He went behind the washing machine and I couldn't get him out. In the evening bf moved the machine out for me, but unless I ripped out my kitchen cupboard I wasn't getting at him. We had to just wait for his nocturnal wandering and managed to corner him in the sitting room and return him to his cage. I wonder for how long?
I sat sewing name tapes on two customers school uniforms while dinner was in the oven and bf had gone out for a run.
During the day after I had given up on the hamster I went to see Mum, she was a little more subdued and mentioned Dad a little bit but didn't want to dwell. She did wonder where Dgd was when I was by her side all through dad's last few days and I explained she was with Her Mum (as it was a weekend that I was supposed to be going to Portugal with BF on our own) but I didn't say that last bit just that it was Easter holidays. I changed her bed, we had a cuppa and then we went out firstly for lunch, then for shopping.
We had lunch in the pub where DS is working. He had 5 minutes to sit and chat with us, and he mentioned that since he started work his gf has let the house go down hill again and that he is exhausted as he still has to get up for the toddler in the morning even though he's working till after midnight.
I think that the love is gone and the sheer enormity of the situation is depressing him. He talked of her being on probation, in the relationship, and I have said what will he do? He is looking for childcare for the afternoons at the moment but no luck yet.
I think I will be hearing of them splitting up in the near future if things don't improve. He is looking forward to his driving course next month, and the ability to find childcare further afield. My Mum said she would help with a car, ( about the same price as mine, as she asked me how much my car cost me).
The next problem will be the insurance etc but at least that can be paid monthly.
I have warned him that he will need to start giving me back the rent that goes out of my account and pay council tax before anything else as he can't afford to loose the house and I can't afford to pay his full rent when I am on Benefits myself.
Just before I went away post adoption team contacted me about my funding and I fear that I will be loosing some of not all with all the government cuts. But I will find that out next week when she comes out to see me.
I am back in work today and have a full days work ahead of me. I just hope that this GP I am starting to take will make a difference to my hands.
Bf went to work about an hour ago, I better make a move as I had planned to go in early with no Dgd to sort out, but I am not going to be much earlier if I am on here!
