Morning all,

Don't know about everyone else but i'm struggling this week even to get out of bed its been so dark and wet in the mornings it feels like 2am not 6.30am.

I also suspect l have caught the office cold 😷🤧 you know when you can feel it at the back of your throat. I'm taking all the remedies in the hope i will feel better by the weekend, Mr CK and l have our hotel stay planned for this Saturday, l really don't want to be ill.

In other news... we received an appointment for Ck's autism assessment at the beginning of January. Over 3 years we've been waiting and now its nearly here l feel a bit nervous. I will shelf those feelings until the new year.

We have had some money come in from the older children's rent but I've used it to top up the emergency fund.

Evening all,

I've had a very busy, but productive day.

I did the school run then went to work. I completed most of the things on my to do list, the few bits can wait until I return in 2026!!

On my way home l went to get things for our packed lunch which turned into the "big shop", l got home about an hour later than planned but so glad it's done.

Very happy with the lunch we're taking, including treats like, a bottle of wine, luxury mince pies, a box of lindt chocolate (present from the kids ❤️) a flask with costa coffee cappuccino sachets and a pack of percy pigs 😂.

I'm surprised how much I'm looking forward to it although, I cant be the only one Mr CK had stripped and remade the bed whilst l was at work and actually looked at the link l sent him of nearby restaurants. That's very rare indeed.
