    Just waiting to head back down to get little miss and will have to wait around to drop off little jwil.  That will be 4 school runs done today!  DH will do the final pick up as he wasn't home early enough.  

    I've had a nice chilled day today though.  I've washed little miss's bedding and did a bit of tidying in her room.  But other than that, a little pottering around, and a nice bit of reading!

    I'm feeling grotty today.  I went to bed last night, and couldn't stop shivering for two hours!  Weird.

    Not much planned for today.  I made the mistake of looking at work emails to see what I needed to face on Monday, and I shouldn't have done.  I now have more irritations to add to my list :D   I really need a lottery/PB win!

    Scales say I've lost 3lb this week, but I don't believe them, so will wait and see if it sticks.  They seem to do that randomly and the likelihood is if I got on tomorrow they'd be back closer to normal.

    I hope you enjoyed your reading and have some 'you' time today  :)
    Edited to say yay on the weight loss. I had missed that somehow...

    I hope you feel better soon. The random weather is not helping! 
    Congrats on 3lbs..take it! I’ve only lost half a pound in 2 weeks of being really good. If there is a world famine, there will just be me left looking exactly the same, bumbling around with the cockroaches 😖

    Thank you :)  I have done some more reading today.

    It's horrible out there today.  I don't think the 3lb is genuine, it will be back on tomorrow I'm sure.  My scales do this periodically, maybe they are on the way out.  I certainly haven't done enough to justify it!

    Thank you :)  I'm ok really, just tired (and cold!).
