    I started back at work yesterday, wish I'd had until Monday off. I'm totally confused about what day it is :rotfl:

    Survived my 2 work days , good to get back in the routine. Still can't stay awake past 8.30 and am awake at 5.30.

    Today is childminding both DGC , not sure what to do with them yet. All this being unwell has meant I haven't spent more than £2 since landing home on the 24th December , apart from shopping and petrol.

    Hair is finally being done tomorrow so that will change.

    Looking forward to starting next week off with a return to the gym , slowly at first though .

    Best get going children will be here soon .

    Today the DGC and I went on the snowman hunt , on the waterfront near me, it was freezing but the children loved finding them. We photographed everyone for mummy and daddy to see. We wandered in the Blue Peter garden , very nostalgic that felt. Lunch was had out as well , cost £12 and £2 parking so not so bad. I am shattered again tonight so looking forward to a bath soon.

    As you say, not bad for all that fun. Glad you are on the mend :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Hi Cumbria - wishing you a belated Happy New Year!

    I was sorry to read that you have been unwell and had to miss Wicked, but as others have posted it will be around again and there's nothing worse than sitting in a theatre feeling ill. I hope that your SIL is feeling better too and that he gets the help he needs.

    You should feel so chuffed with yourself though after your successful MSE 2018 - you sound at peace with yourself moneywise as well. As you have already posted, I hope 2019 will be full of adventures waiting to happen for you.

    We did the snowman hunt too. Just the ones inside the centre rather than all of them. One of the outside ones was done by my daughter's school. x
