Yes he had such a good time he wants to move there
but hopfully arranging that would take so long that he will change his mind
. It's so lovely to have him home, my mind is at peace at last
I hope you are ok Pauline?Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Glad the shower is finally fixed. I bet it seems like a real luxury at the moment. Also glad DS is on his way home safely.
All our snow has been cleared away by the rain and much milder weather.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Thanks SA the shower does feel like a luxury and DS2 was keen to use it when he got home
.
I managed seven hours sleep last night, after two nights of five hours :T.
Today I want to focus on:
Work
Surveys
Washing DS2's dirty laundry
Ordering some presents for the DC
Recovering from stress
Healthy eating
Have a good Thursday everyone.

So glad DS arrived home safely and had a brilliant time. Hope he's feeling better x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0

I didn't manage to complete any of my goals today but I made a little progress.
Work - A LITTLE
Surveys - NONE
Washing DS2's dirty laundry - ONE WASH DONE
Ordering some presents for the DC - ORDERED SOME
Recovering from stress - PARTIALLY
Healthy eating - NOT REALLY
DH and I felt less tired but still not firing on all cylinders. Hopefully tomorrow after another nights sleep we'll be back to normal.
We had to help DS2 sort out the rented flat he hasn't been living in (long story) as he wants to end his tenancy, so that took a bit of time.
Anyway tomorrow is another day luckily and I am still over the moon to have DS2 home :j.
Have a good evening everyoneFinally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
