    Ordered the supplements and got 2 months supply (£99! Eek) hope they ruddy well work.
    Staff off sick at b&b so did a long day normal day job plus night shift, managed 25 covers but literally hit the ground running as orders were already in so didn’t get chance to set up how I like it. Didnt go in last night as I was supposed to get my nails done but it’s been moved to Friday. Can’t come soon enough, 2 nails are splitting straight across the middle and are a bit ouchy. Got fetching blue plasters on them. I’m in again tonight so another long day.
    Yesterday was nice weather wise. OH was off, he’s figured out what’s up with the cement mixer and a new filter has been ordered. He mended neighbours car as the parts had arrived. He helped me get some more muck, cardboard and seaweed onto the new bed, then he helped topping it off with top soil and compost. Haven’t quite made it to the end. Still need some more compost/topsoil and seaweed. Might see if I can get that tomorrow. Topsoil could be a Friday morning job before nails.
    No wins on the pbs this month.
    DD1 has been back to ENT this morning for a check up. She ended up passing out but feels ok now. She’s finally allowed to get it wet. She has to go back in a year, at the moment she doesn’t need a hearing aid.

    Last night was steady, only 20 covers on what’s usually one of our busier nights. Realised why as I left, a restaurant that’s usually closed on a Wednesday and Thursday was open. I checked the website when I got home and they’re open 7 days a week. I think that will be the start of the end.
    I’m really hoping for good weather on Sunday and hopefully we can get the flower bed finished.
