The light show at RHS was enjoyable and the weather was ideal, went for a Xmas meal after with a friend. Thursday in the big town , met my friend , we had lunch and some shopping. Friday was shopping day and cleaning. This morning been to the cemetery to make my brothers gave Christmassy , miss him every year , sadly he died at age 28 . Am back home now and getting ready to go to lunch with DS , his partner , ex hubby and myself.its my birthday tomorrow and exs was Thursday so ideal .Tonight i intend watching strictly final maybe with a glass of wine. Tomorrow for my birthday, breakfast with parents , then off to DDs for cake and see the DGD on my birthday. A very busy week but well worth the effort , I love the run up to Christmas but prefer a quiet Christmas Day .Money seems to be going well and it's payday on Wednesday and Friday respectively.Looking forward to making plans for 2025.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.2

Work done for this week, I am working Monday and Christmas Eve until 12pm, then I am off until the 13th January . Today I am going spending some off my birthday money on new boots , my black ones have served many years and need replacing . This afternoon is school Carol Concert in church , I do enjoy these . I will bring the DGC home with me then until DD finishes work.That's me off to get ready and tidy up before I depart.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1

Bought my new boots really pleased with them. Went to the school Carol concert in the afternoon. Yesterday took mum to a hospital appointment. Then home and finally wrapped all my presents up, then off to swimming with the DGC . Today is toy day at school , so going into play for an hour or so, this afternoon is housework time.Most people are off now for 2 weeks , so imagine the roads will be busy later.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1

The roads were horrendous. Took an hour to get to my brothers….we can do it in 20 minutes. There’s a c@stco en route which caused a lot of the problems as we came off the motorway with vehicles queuing to get in. What a silly place to put the entrance 🤬
