Some people have trouble sleeping and some are lucky enough to sleep like babies. I sleep very badly when I'm stressed or anxious, but generally sleep well. I hope you get onto a better sleep phase soon Cumbria.

Hopefully you'll sleep soundly tonight Cumbria. I sleep like the proverbial log but some of my friends have the same problem as you. They say it all started with the dreaded menopause!
Have a lovely time later with DGS.

Had a great time last weekend in your part of the world. Must say though it was rather busy in some parts.
Today DGS and I were in the park at 9.00am , we stayed an hour then he went home as he is attending a family BBQ at his other grandparents. I decided to amble to local MrM for some GF bits . My 8000 steps are well and truly done. Planning on spending the afternoon resting and reading book in the shade .
Later need to get lunch made for work and update spending diary. Very low spend BH it's been .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I had a good read in the shade and a little sleep as well. I have made my breakfast and lunch for work tomorrow. I suspect work will be very busy after the nice weekend we have had .
In other money things I got a lovely dress from eBay but it doesn't suit me. Normally it would lurk in the ironing basket for months and then end up at the charity shop, but I have relisted it today along with a couple of other baby items now finished with.
Way to warm at the moment , hope I sleep a little tonight .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
