Why do I feel tired again?10 -
Dailies done and shopping- spent more than intended but all on stuff that is needed so not too annoyed - 2/16 NSD's and shouldn't need anything else this week 😉
I've started my TOOTS list - thankfully it's pretty small due to all the work we've done over the last couple of years- a few big garden jobs and a few big house jobs but each job can be started and completed in a weekend 🙌
I'm planning on doing the menu plan now as I've been shopping- decided that I'd base it on the veg that we buy then add stuff from the stores to that 😉
Hope everyone is okay - hugs and gws to those that need them 😊DNF: £708.92/£1000

Towels and tea towels are blowing nicely on the line - the sun is shining here.
Took Pops his birthday card and had a coffee and chat with him and Babs. Caught up with their news: Pops was close to brawling on New Year's Eve and auditioning for the Chippendales at a party last night. 😀
Unpacked all the cider that I was given for Christmas and recycled the packaging / added bottle bags to my stash.
Baby steps.

Eek, page 3 already and I'm already so behind!
Not much done today as I'd had a busy night shift and didn't get to bed until 10am this morning, so slept until 4pm. I have cooked dinner, done a load of washing, thrown some in the TD and run the dishwasher. Just having a cuppa and then off for the next shift. The scheduler has put me down for Tuesday and Weds nights too, which was not what I agreed, but there are staff shortages and it would mean leaving my team in the lurch, so I've agreed to it this one time. I'm not sure when I will sleep...
DH is back to work tomorrow but the boys aren't back to school here in Wales until 10th January *cry*

BAH.. Back from the outlaws..
Squeak decided not to come..
I need to email the potential new school tomorrow. I need to sort the HE stuff for this week and maybe source the new reading book for the next few weeks..
I have a terrible pain in my stomach.. it feel really odd, I'm hoping it isn't gall stone or another ulcer.. both sides hurt, in pretty much the same place, it's weird.
I need to find my phone charger too.. I put it in my bag and it has disappeared.
The skin on my arms feels weird.. usually a sign of an illness brewing.. JOY!!
Round.. many lols @ Pops brawling! and his audition.. I'd go see that show, it sounds amazing!

Morning all
back to the paid stuff for me today so flying will be fitted in around that. Also have SW this evening for first weigh in after Xmas and New Year, hoping result will be ok…
DH and I have set a target to get out for a short walk each morning before work so that starts this morning too.
With that in mind it’s time for me to get showered and moving, back later on with a progress report. Hugs to all x9 -
Morning all
It has snowed here and our outside temperature is -6, brrr! I have let the chickens out and brought a cuppa up to bed. Plans for today include a load of washing, a phone call which I am nervous about, and making a shepherds pie base in the SC. Will probably make some Yorkshire puddings and a cake as well.
I hope all those back to the paid stuff today have the best day possible xxx
