Buffy takes it 6 months at a time

Buffythedebtslayer

Hope it is, We only had it done in October I think. 

The rest of the day consisted of looking after mum and having a nap. I cooked dinner but Mum picked the wrong Indian ready meal and now I feel quite ill. Not stopped me having a beer and some Matchmakers mind. 

Tomorrow I have a list but will probably sleep through the heat. 

1. Empty the bins
2. Clean out outdoor rabbits
3. Clean out indoor small furries. 
4. Dry washing somehow (bizarre but we have lost the peg basket) I mean I am aware I could leave it in a pile in the conservatory and it would be dry in 5 minutes but am hoping for no ironing (I never iron anything) 
5. midday nap(!)

6. Mum is doing some chicken thing for dinner in the slow cooker. 
7. Plant some plants in pots. 
8. Write a plan for the rest of the holidays.

Happy holidays. I have three days left!

sorry work is so poo at the minute. It’s a dire career now at times. 

I’ve also heard some racist comments at work and the ignorance behind them is appalling. I wish we lived in a world of complete equality and tolerance x

I have never felt as stupid as the day I said to a year 11 that I thought when I was a kid  racism would end - I mean none of my friends were racist, I was taught it was wrong at school and at home. Everyone knew. But somehow people still are. It is so hard to understand, I just can't make sense of it. Not at all.

I keep thinking that now but some of our younger children are making racist remarks without knowing it so where are they hearing it? It saddens me.

It is immensely sad and at times a little frightening.

We have all had to have race equality training at work. Not enough to not be racist you have to be anti racist. My mum fostered children when I was small. Most of them were black so I was brought up to not judge anyone on skin colour or background. Have had some shocking experiences too numerous to mention, time it all stopped but needs to start at home with the parents.

Unfortunatly you will always get people who are just dire.
Be they racist, against people who are disabled or whatever.
Nothing will change people like them I don't think.

Definitely agree with you there Beanie. Makes my blood boil 😡🤬

I just think I believed when I was young that racists would be in a minority and I hope they are, I mean I don't believe I know any, however social media says different, but it is difficult to tell, keyboard warriors, people hide who they are. Plus the rise of the right across Europe.

Right so need to publicly acknowledge a few things. 

1. This is not a holiday. It is a sort your life out opportunity. I MUST finish the decluttering regardless of anything else. I can't live like this any more. I just cannot. I almost sobbed this morning as I again fought to find what I needed and looked at the overwhelming mess in the conservatory. It is insane. 

2. I am going to be looking after mum, she went out in the garden yesterday but instead of sticking to the cleared bits, she walked on a part I hadn't done yet and nearly fell and has hurt her foot. Can now hardly walk, doesn't want a fuss and I suspect it is just bruised, obviously much worse in an elderly person. District nurse is coming tomorrow for a blood test so if it gets worse I think I will ask for advice. I just need to make the best of this. She is an adult. 

3.  I am going to have debt. End of. The fish tank stand looked much worse this morning and so I just ordered a new stand. It is coming on Wednesday. There is no point in a new tank, I never wanted one I couldn't move alone so the stand is the way forward. It was 158 pounds and is on the CC. 

Rough plan for the week from tomorrow.

Work on the garden and sheds in the early morning, trimming weeding cutting. 

Sleep when it is hot(!)

Tuesday - non drinking lunch with friends, post lunch shopping for puppy pads, hard board and the list of garden stuff. And sort things for charity shop. 

Wednesday - out drinking in the evening! Day time -Charity shop and tip and les animals as I think it is raining so stage one of rabbit rearrange 

Thursday - Recover, work on conservatory  or sheds depending on hang over! Hopefully book the smallest rabbit's vaccine.

Friday - Finally the heat is meant to go! Garden and shed. 

Right now I am hungry.
