I agree about your health. I like slow and steady and that goes for your health too.

 Doing everything when you can will help your health too.

So pleased to read you feel better today. Your health is definitely more important than money.

Pleased you’re feeling better. Health is the most important thing by far 👍

Work went well today but getting up early was a shock 😀 I had a couple of dizzy spells so I'm wondering if my ears are still blocked,I had ear ache a few times last week so that would explain it. I am really tired now though so will be off to bed soon.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be going to Ikea but it depends on the weather and how I feel,I will see in the morning. The alternative plan is to clean and tidy the house because it's a mess at the moment and I have a big pile of ironing to do too 😟

A box of Gousto meals turned up today for DD while we were at work and she had totally forgotten that she had ordered them. I've told her I don't want to get them anymore because I can't afford it but she has said she still wants to order them on the weeks she likes the menus and I can still share because there is too much for her to eat on her own,she doesn't like many things reheated so it wouldn't work for her if we don't both eat it. We have done a few of the recipes ourselves from the cards we already have now we have built up a collection of the spices and ingredients. Last night we had noodles with plant based chicken in a sweet chilli sauce and it was gorgeous. We found chilli jam in Mr S that's as nice as the one Gousto use ( Tracklements)  

I almost forgot, when I went to work today I found out that someone has donated a really nice dolls house to the charity that the hospital is running to refurbish our ward and clinic areas. The charity is going to auction it off to raise money but the lady who donated it has stipulated that she wants it to be built before they auction it. So guess who has been asked to build it .......🙀 only little old me 😀the only problem is it's not in its original box so all the pieces are mixed up and I don't know if they are labelled. I can't remember if mine was labelled or not. So I need to contact the manufacturer to try and find out before I say yes. I will have 9 months to build it because they want it to be ready to go next Christmas. It's a bigger house than mine and from what I can remember cost quite a lot of money so it's not something I want to agree to unless I'm sure I can do a good job 😳

Excellent that work went well.

A dolls' house to build - what fun! I know some are seriously costly even though you have to make them yourself, but of course a lot of fun must be in the making. I wonder if there's anything online in the same way DIY manuals etc are on the Internet?

The instructions are all there but I'm not sure about marrying up the random pieces of wood to the pictures on the instructions,I did find lots of photos of this house on line last night so I'm feeling more confident that I could do it now I will have another look at it tomorrow when I go to work 😊

What an interesting although challenging task. At least you have a few months to make sure you get it right, just think how satisfying it will be to complete it.

I looked back on the timeline for the build on my own dolls house last night and while I thought it had taken me a very long time at actually only took me three months so that's reassuring. I've told them that if no one else come forward to do it I will have a go 😊

Day off today and I was supposed to go to Ikea but it was such a lovely sunny windy day I decided to stay at home and concentrate on getting the house back into some sort of order.

I have done three loads of washing and it's all been out all day drying. I've cleaned the house from top to bottom and had all the windows open so it's all lovely and fresh again. I even moved all the furniture in the living room to hoover underneath 😀 the 🐓🐓have been cleaned out and had their food and water topped up and B has been taken for a walk through the fields, I also found time to play fetch with her ball for a bit which she loves, she is now snoozing next to one of the cats 😍😍

I just stopped for a quick cup of tea and to catch up on here but I'm now off to do my ironing. I might be back later .
