    Back from a lovely break on Tuesday. Wednesday very busy washing , shopping etc. Woke up Thursday with an awful headache that kept me in bed for 24hrs. Did two Covid tests and both negative. Got up today a bit ropey but had DGS for a few hours and now I am fine. Really glad I have no plans for the weekend . 
    Bedroom is now stripped ready for the decorator who I hope can start in the next 3 weeks.I already have the wallpaper and some paint , may need gloss plus some filler but he usually gets all that and then bills me for it. 
    Confession time , I have booked another holiday for the beginning of June 5 nights in Majorca on my own it was a bargain . The cost is being met from savings and not from any long term investment so am ok with it. I brought back enough Euros for the next holiday. 
    I should have been vote counting but was to unwell so lost money on that , but did win another £100 on PBS , that's £300 this year so far. 
    Am hoping to list some summer clothes this weekend on flea bay to pay my car park fees at the airport.

    Just got home from a lovely coronation day with my mum, she wanted to watch it with me as she was around for the queens so another memory made. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole lot , who knew it took so long. Loved all the pomp and ceremony, dad kept us sorted with drinks and sandwiches . 
    Thankfully the weather has been fine here today, so have even managed a walk out today. NSD as well must be good. 
    Housework underway now as haven't done any for 2 weeks, don't tell anyone 😂.
