    Back home after my little trip away. This week is work for two days then off for 2 weeks for trip to Majorca . 
    Mum and dad are home from their trip as well. 
    It's shopping tomorrow and getting ready for the working week. 
    Have seen the GKs on the way home , have missed them. 
    Need to balance end of my monthly budget. 
    The weather forecast looks great this week so hoping for some sun . 

    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I'm sure the GKs missed you too.
    Glad your mimi break was good

    Lots been going on this last week, but I made it to my holiday. I am having my second bedroom decorated in the next few weeks, so son is going to strip the walls whilst I am away and paint the inside of the storage cupboard . I have emptied the room this morning, I am having a ne2 single bed so he is taking that to the tip. 
    I am at a funeral later this morning, then making my way to my friends house to stay overnight, her DH is taking us to the airport , for our 6.30am flight. 
    The stress is very much still here , but hopefully the situation may change in a couple of weeks and we can as a family move forward . 
    My case is packed , just need to put a last couple of things in it later before I leave . Going to put some washing on now , it will dry whilst I am away . 
    Money is all ok , everything ticking over ok. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
