It's my birthday this weekend but i'm not really feeling it either   I'm sure it will be very hard to see your daughter leave for Canada 
i think we need a supper club & i'd like to join - the NST - ninja stressed-out turtles!

Hugs for turtles who needs or would like one.

NSD 7.

Back to work today and was quite busy. Also helped Mum to book flights to Australia to see family now that the country is opening up from next month.

Grateful for borders opening, holidays, for being vaccinated, and for the returning feeling of excitement.

@ditty1234 sending hugs!

Sunday was a NSD, went for a horse ride followed by a swim, then babysitting my nieces. Definitely kept me out of trouble! Was a really nice day all in all.

Today was another NSD. Did a very boring online training course all day, with a "working lunch" as the trainers decided we had to complete an exercise over our lunch break. Who does that?! I got the exercise done quickly and then focused on a job application. I've decided Monday needs to be my job searching day until I decide whether to go back to my old job. Need to keep my options open as my new job sadly just isn't for me, I'm realising this more with each passing day. 

Need to tackle trimming the rabbits' nails this evening, a task none of us enjoy! They always look at me like I've tried to kill them afterwards!

Thanks @lcc86 yesterday was hard, but I rested all day and finally managed to go shopping at 9pm. Made dinner and did a bit of reading. 
Fingers crossed the worst of the slump is over.
Next 3-4 days should be NSD days, only exception might be a bit of fruit for ds1.
Work today, see ds1, swim.
Tomorrow ds1 funding meeting and benefits application.
Thursday work, friday work and then it's the half term. 
I can do it.

Morning all,

I am really ready for my annual leave starting 5.30pm on Friday, and then off to Ludlow on Saturday. I am not doing brilliantly on NSD's this month and not checked in with the challenge. Straight to the naughty step. 

Grateful for; getting the washing done, some cancellations at work- giving me a bit of time to catch up on things, and mashed potato squash. Lovely.

I think we'll do away with the naughty step for this month - I think we all need to sit somewhere comfy, with lots of blankets and drink hot soup or chocolate.

NSD 8.

I had another busy day at work ahead of our event tomorrow. At one point, I got quite overwhelmed with all that needed done and all the messages pining into our group chat, that I had to close the laptop and go for a walk. I listened to one of my free library audiobooks and went out for half an hour. I did manage to pull myself together enough to finish the tasks. 

OH is out this evening with a friend, so I've just rummaged the fridge freezer and had a chicken nugget dinner followed by ice cream. Not the most adult of meals, but i enjoyed it.

Grateful today for a dry spell and a walk, for working from home, and for an easy dinner.
