  • Great that you can now spend time with your niece now she has kicked Covid to the kerb!
    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

  • What a lovely day I have had , the joy on people's faces when I dropped off their goody bags . I got offered a massage by one old gent In return for bringing his bag, I politely declined . Had my hair done by my lovely niece, so I look slightly presentable again. Lost another 4lb in the last 3 weeks , I don't have scales so have to weigh myself, so have to wait to go  on my mums . 
    DGD is staying tomorrow night , we will see she may change her mind by tomorrow. 
    It is so cold outside ❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️.

    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Your day sounded lovely!  Probably wise not to take advantage of the massage offer!😂
    Well done on the weight loss!👍

  • Day was busy , no snow here ,just a bit of rain later in the afternoon, but very cold. Took dad shopping , then mum and I popped to the shops and we got my dad a present , it was very local and not a lot of people about. 
    My parents have decided to cash in their premium bonds as they don't want to do the online service and after March you have to register online. I filled the forms in for them and that got posted today. 
    I have DGD tonight , we have played barbies ( her mums from when she was young ) , watched The Grinch and then read some stories . I am hoping she is now asleep , need to go and check . 
    DGS got a homework superstar certificate for his Christmas tree card , so he was pleased with himself. 
    Tomorrow I am hoping to get my car cleaned inside and out . Then I have the beauticians at lunchtime . Cleaning in the afternoon , so a busy day .

    Well done to DGS 👏 Your parents will probably be better off putting their premium bond money into savings. Interest rates rubbish at the moment but anything better than nothing.
