    Thanks both 😊 definitely feel better than yesterday. Not convinced tomorrow's train journey is going to help but hey ho 🙄

    Did actually manage most of my list! Put sheets on both our bed and the spare - the only thing I didn't do was put the sofa bed away - will only take five minutes but I just can't be bothered now, it can wait. Oh, and I haven't looked for my red sandals yet... 🤔

    Need to leave about 7.40 tomorrow - I'll want a shower but if I find my sandals tonight, everything will be ready to go. It's a quick trip - if all goes to plan, I should be home by 5.30, fingers crossed... Shouldn't need to spend anything either - got breakfast, lunch, snacks and water packed, and I'll be home in time for tea.

    Oh! And I'm quite annoyed with myself - I had a voucher for £10 off a £20 spend on No 7 stuff. Actually remembered when we were in the shop last week, but it was a small branch and there wasn't anything I wanted, so figured I'd leave it til I was in a different branch. Going through London tomorrow, remembered the voucher, and figured I'd pick something up there - but it ran out today! Very annoying 🙄 Hey ho.

    Oh bad luck. I’m always finding that I’m doing that with vouchers.
