So sorry you are feeling unwell SYA, I hope the bit of good weather we are having keeps your spirits up x (if you are having it too if course)

Thanks jwil, Suze and Tresinia. I must be ill cos I didn’t even go out to the ice cream van when it came down the street yesterday 😆 Lovely sunny day again today. 16.5 degrees in my bedroom this morning and the heating has been off most of the day. 

Managed a better sleep last night so feel a bit more like myself today. I’ve managed to cook a crustless bacon, cheese and broccoli quiche for breakfasts and almond flour carrot & apple muffins to fill the oven. I have to admit to eating junk for a week so I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back to healthy / low carb. Lots of resting and reading.

Reading,  resting and tasty food.... you will be feeling better soon I feel x

Thanks Tresinia 😊 

Went to the tip with DF this morning to drop off the spare room carpet and underlay. DF is such a star he stripped all the wallpaper off while I was away and has filled/sanded and lined the walls. Hopefully I will feel well enough to go looking at wallpaper tomorrow. Hes now painting the skirtings 🤩

Im going to walk to my friends this afternoon for a cuppa. It’s sunny here but cooler than recent days. Will be good to get a bit of exercise. 

Off to visit my sister on the east coast on Friday for the weekend

Thanks Suze and Tresinia, DF is a star ⭐️ He will be off to his allotment once the weather warms up again but he likes to be busy. I can find plenty for him to do 😊

Feeling ok this morning for a trip to b & q and bnm to look at wallpaper. I’ve spent hours trawling online but can’t find anything that jumps out at me. DF is coming along and I will treat us to some lunch.

Sya, I think with wallpaper,  looking is best.  It's not easy to get the feel of the texture and colour on line.  They have a great selection in b and q and so good luck with your hunt!

Had a look at bnq then went to Done elm. Had lunch in their cafe and pot of tea each. Total £14.20. Then tried bnm and bought 5 rolls of wallpaper £73.  

Niece has just been with baby, now toddling, 🥰 still got some cuddles
