    I slept badly last night , but managed the early get up. Work was ok this morning, a case of catching up on the last 5 weeks . I left at 12.30 and took my dad shopping. I have put my feet up since I came home , had dinner and just plan on getting sorted out for tomorrow, gym bag , breakfast etc.
    Will carry on with my knitting this evening .

    Day 2 done and dusted, today was looking good , work then to DDs to wait for a workman. Another trip to the gym and home for a quiet evening, Then my son phoned me to say he had written his car off , it is a bit wrangled well more than a bit, but he escaped with a couple of scratches . He mistook a corner could have been so much worse. I want to give him a big hug but will do it tomorrow.

    I feel very cold tonight , the weather today has been dire .

    Going to get ready for bed .

    Phew to your son's accident, glad he's ok. I bet he's really shook up though.

    Echoing others on your son. Great to hear that he's fine apart from the scratches.

    Glad to read that work is going well.

    DS is getting over his crash and realising it could have been much worse. He is taking some leave and working from home until his insurance is sorted out.

    I have had a good weekend , friend visited and brought flowers and GF goodies. Babysit the GKs last night always a pleasure. Been out with parents and son today shopping and enjoying family time, ending with GKs visiting as well.

    I am working 75% of my working time this week , then hopefully next week full time .

    I am looking forward to my weekend away in a couple of weeks .

    Off to get sorted for the week ahead.

    I hope DS will be ok with getting back in a car. I know a couple of people who've had something similar happen to them and they won't drive again. The sooner he gets back behind the wheel the better.

    Hope you have a good week :)
