Moving forward and upwards

Maybe you could re-sell some of the clothes/suits when things have settled down a bit. 

Wings sound nice. I haven’t had any for ages. I think I will add them to my shopping list for next week. 😊

Thanks SH and Skinty

The history thing will be nice, but won't give me real life knowledge of the person who makes up the other half of me.

I'll have a think what to do about the suits, a lot depends on my role and I'm mindful it will grow more into the business side over time. The awkward thing is I'm steadily losing weight, if I keep it off the suits won't be of any use. 

Wings were great, don't ask how many we had!

I managed a proper lie in today, a whole 8 hours sleep with a few wake ups. I've a bit of a headache, which isn't surprising.

TomBo popped to T this morning, came back with some impressive food and some of the posh range too. He's not yet given me a full rundown of what's being cooked, but the flat smells so nice.

Hurrah for Tombo's food. I hope the suits work out fine. I hope the history thing works out for you. Good luck.

Thanks SW, I'll see how everything goes. 

I told TomBo I needed something to I could grab and eat in the day else I wouldn't bother. I've got leek soup for a couple of lunches, banana smoothie for a couple of breakfasts / brunches, yoghurts for snacks. 

Tomorrow I'm hoping to strip the 'office' down and relocate things to the creative room. I also want to try and sort out the boiler cupboard. Will decide tomorrow what I'm doing Tuesday.

Lovely blue sky, bit chilly though.

I'm now officially on holiday and working out how to empty the creative room to get my desk in, then find a place for my easel.

I am tired, but not exhausted, still got the headache.

MovingForwards

Had quite a good day, nice to know I'm being paid for not doing anything 😀

Everything is boxed ready to be returned.

The creative room is now set up, just need to organise the duvets etc on top of the wardrobes to cram more stuff on top. Got a great view for when I'm transferring photos from my camera to the PC and when I'm painting.

I've had a bit of a tidy up in the lounge and had to repurpose a chair otherwise I had nothing to put the lamp or my meds / drink on.

I also emptied a few more boxes from the cube, some clothes went to the charity bag, others are in my wardrobe. Just leaves PJ box and footwear to go through. Then I can organise my wardrobe properly.

I've had plenty of breaks, TomBo has messaged a few times and I had a banana, but forgot to make my breakfast coffee.

Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the boiler cupboard. I've worked out how the ladders can go in as they're not in use until I decorate.

Really should sell the electric fire as that just takes up space and it's the right time of year to do it.

Moved some money to the float and need to build that up quite a bit as I'll have hotel, extra petrol and other costs to fund.
- I don't really want to touch my savings unless I absolutely have no choice. 

We're having chilli and rice tonight, think I've earned it today 😀

Sounds like a busy and productive day. It’s good to be organised and clear the clutter. A fresh start at home and at work 😊 I’m glad you had plenty of breaks. 

Maybe you could write a list for the day to include drinks, meals and snacks to make sure you remember to eat and drink? 

MovingForwards

Thanks Skinty

I'd got into the swing of what I was doing, as I had loads to do, and broke the back of everything yesterday.

In theory it's plain sailing from now on,  The boiler cupboard is take things out to get the ladders in and return things in a tidy way. General pottering about and a bit of cleaning is all that's really left to do.

I'm hoping Thursday and Friday will be 'me' days, dye my hair, get my brows done, a swimming session and general pampering.

Taken the tortilla wraps out the freezer, made a cappuccino and I'll make a start in a bit; I'm giving downstairs time to get up as he's been having lie ins since taking early retirement.

I've not done what I had planned, instead I opened the bedroom window, ran the dehumidifier in the creative room, roasted some chicken to turn into Chinese curry and did the washing up. 

As I sat down to eat my leek soup this morning a delivery of flowers arrived, totally unexpected. I lost all my focus after that and disposed of my soup, eventually I was able to put the flowers in a vase. 

It's weird, but I'm getting support from people who don't know me, compared to my real life friends; the ones who I've been to pubs, clubs, restaurants, shopping and events with, only one has taken the time to personally contact me.

You've all done more and I value everything you've said 🤗

We're having having chicken wraps for tea.

I feel you are my friends, it is like we chat every day. When i feel down i rush home to see what i have missed as you all help me too. I think you are going through so much right now, it is so much, I am so glad you had some flowers it really helps. Keep pampering and doing what you want - you come first MF. Sending hugs and love.
