DH up and gone to work stupid early. DS1 now using up some leave, so he’s having a lie-in. DS2 still in his pit, will wake him shortly so he can get ready for school.

Now light, wet underfoot, rained very heavily and steadily for ages last night, but is bright and reasonably clear sky this morning, also looks a bit blustery too, hopefully will dry everywhere up a bit, air feels cold though.

Dinner last night was fish, chips/jacket potato, beans/veg, ice cream for dessert. It’s what I had planned for Tuesday night but swapped around due to DS2’s college interview being at an awkward time. I need to think of something for tonight’s dinner as the menfolk had chips last night so won’t do them again tonight. I’ll be going to the SM shortly to do the food shop, need a flash of inspiration.

I wasn’t particularly productive yesterday, I did get most of the washing, and drying done, although I think the dirty wash basket has more in it this morning, I’ll get that in the WM shortly. I did clean the bathrooms, and shove the hoover round. I just couldn’t get motivated, my mood just dipped and for a while I just really struggled, I have a few things floating round in my head at the mo. I spent far too long on the internet. So today I will be going food shopping shortly, then once I’m home and have unpacked, I then need to go to local town as have a nail appointment, once that’s done then I will come home and I’d like to do some cooking/baking – I also need to do the ironing, so I have a bigger “to do” list than normal due to my lack of motivation yesterday. It’s silly really because I know if I keep busy and just steadily pottering about doing jobs I get everything done I want and the motivation is much less of an issue, and of course my mood doesn’t dip low leaving me feeling c**p. So I have a busy day planned, I will just keep pottering along until I’ve got everything done.

Have good Fridays’ everyone x

Keep safe and well x

Morning everyone,

Cold, windy and bright here and Friday so no work :j

Have some M@S vouchers so will pop in there to get some nice bits for the weekend. We have Mum staying over on Saturday night again and then my DB, SIL and niece & nephew said they will pop over on Sunday afternoon so they can see her too. This means that I have seen all my family in a week, which doesn't happen often, my youngest brother and I have drifted apart in the last few years.
This afternoon will take Bill out for a nice long walk to stretch his legs out, didn't get over to see him yesterday so look forward to that. Also want to pop into the local pet store for bird seed as its much better quality than the garden centre so lasts much longer.

Have a good day all and take care if you have the snow xx

Morning all, it is beautifully bright and clear here, last night's rain has dried up and I have one lot of washing on the line and another in the machine. I had thought that I had reached the bottom of the washing basket but no, my DS brought me his washing, I did think this was too good to be true.

I am going out to lunch today, so probably won't get through too much in the house and I do need to do a little work too, if not, someone else will miss a deadline .

Hester, thank you for your sleeping pattern comment yesterday, I am sometimes similar but difficult to manage that when at work, still onwards and upwards.

How nice to think that Eve is learning how to play, she sounds such a sweet little thing.

I am using up my annual leave now, well mostly, I do have a few things to do but not at the office, I should perhaps have done some paperwork yesterday but knitted a teddy bear instead, how's that for a professional attitude!
