    I love the masked singer, my guilty pleasure 😆 The clues are super hard though until you know who they are.

  • Work week done, but it was very busy glad when I had finished last night. 
    Anyway onwards , meeting a friend in an hour for a walk and then a coffee in the big park . Home then to do the housework in the afternoon. I have a busy end of the week with taking mum out and then meeting another friend . Youngest DGS and I are going to play at Legoland on Friday I really enjoy going and they do a £12 ticket for both of us in term time . 
    Best get walking shoes out and my coat.

    Another week has gone by a busy one as well. We had sad news this week , my ex sister in law in Australia passed away from terminal cancer. She fought to the end , travelled to the uk last year where I was able to see her. She was 56 and left behind 4 children and her DH. We always had a good relationship, I last spoke to her at Christmas she was still full of hope. 
    My mum had a small surgery on Tuesday , I worked from their house , it was a long day. Mum was not impressed with the service ! Trying to drop off at the hospital was a nightmare and the pick up not much better. 
    I have caught up with a friend in the big shopping centre , we had a lot of sleet and rain but nothing stuck, the wind has gone as well. 
    DD has had the most awful cough , the children have picked it up as well, DGD is off school but her other grandma has her today . I have my youngest DGS as usual , we are going to the shops shortly. 
    I have won a £20 gift card from Shell Energy for the saving of the electricity recently. No win on PBs RBI's month. I have also bought some Euros for my holiday in April . 
    Waiting now for the news on water and council tax to sort out budget from April onwards .
