    Thank you.

    Just about to put some pasta on for tonight's dinner. Then some tv , bed early tonight as have to pick DGS up at 8 .

    Happy New Year Sunshine,I think your idea of not setting resolutions and just trying to live life well is the way to go,I have set myself a couple of goals but one of them is to go riding more so that is a treat really

    I am glad you are feeling a bit better in yourself at the moment too and I hope it lasts for you,I'm all holidayed out now and just want to get cracking on sorting my house out and getting back to normal
    Have a lovely day with your DGS xx

    The DGC were on top form , on Thursday I went to the National Football Museum with GS on the bus. We had a subway , naughty grandma:rotfl:. I spent £27.00 not a lot in the end. Friday was swimming lesson for DGD , then we played at home . After that we went to soft play £11 and drinks £4.40, they wanted pizza but I said no.

    The weekend has seen me do lots of sleeping, I have weaned myself of caffeine now , hardly ever drink coffee and am now on decaf tea. The doctor suggested this to try and help me sleep. Tomorrow as I am not at work I have my DGD for the day , we are going on a train to another town about 30 mins away.

    I still feel I have a long way to being ready for work, but that I am making some progress.

    I have changed my energy provider this week , so hoping to save some money there.

    Off to get ready for early morning start tomorrow.

    Sounds like a lovely time with your family. I am glad that you are making progress.

    Sleeping is good, as well as reducing the caffeine. There was a time when I only drank herbal tea, but now I am afraid that I am on the coffee a fair bit.

    Have a lovely day tomorrow. x
