Life begins again at 45

Mon - NSD and worked from home attached to computer and achieved a lot :T

Tuesday -LSD -slight hiccup, Mr borrowmydoggy wasn't picked up til 5 and we needed to be out by 5.15 with my hair freshly washed so I could race into my hairdresser to have fringe cut (free) but we needed a snack to let us to late supper after fundraising event .... So thanks to C@@P 3 cheeses scones for 2 and 2 packets of crisps for £1 :eek:.

On the plus side the talk was fantastic - Dame Tanni Grey Thompson. Wine was £3 a glass and so we spent less than the £10 we had on us. Ticket included a hot buffet supper. Wine was provided by our favourite company Adn@ms and not having more cash on us we resisted the case of wine being sold off at the end :T

Saturday

LS morning.... Sent husband out with a list, to buy the bear minimal, mostly meat for a BBQ for Monday ... No flowers though as not part of budget

BF rung to say they would be up the road, and could they pop in for tea and cake if they bought the cake :T:T. It was lovely to see them including my godson, laid back and chilled while catching up.

Supper was sorrell risotto ( we got some in our weekly box, looks like spinach but slightly sweeter) so all from stocks including stock from the freezer :T

Sunday

As the sun came out, we decided to plant up our 50 plug plants that came in the post, I repotted a patio rose, we have decided to decrease out pits as too much hard work, so one broken and heading to the tip and one reused. Also tying up Daffs. I needed my bath.

OH then cooked our Easter lamb :rotfl: we bought then didn't eat, so another freezer meal... It was lush, melt in the mouth.
Tired but good day.

Monday

Lazy morning followed by both of us cooking, HM soup, a dessert from the MMM thread using marzipan left over Christmas and the last of the 2013 apples from the freezer (we have lots of blossom on the Bramley tree so a bumper year I fear)

Then friends for a late afternoon BBQ, really looked forward to and in the end, went to bed feeling emotionally drained. Friends Turned up late f
BF in tears, two teenage god daughters subdued. hubbie escaping to OH by BBQ, when inquired everything was wrong, been a domestic, not unusual they love each other dearly but communication and meeting expectations not strong.... It was hardwork all evening to jolly things along. I admit I was inwardly wanting to shout at her be grateful for all the blessings you are receiving. Take the advice you have been given, except offers of help, don't make mountains out of molehills etc. I though hoped I acted with grace and empathy and encouragement.

Got a text yesterday to say thanks for a great evening .... Was wondering if we were at the same place

It is slightly down on last time, although I have spent on two embroidery courses for the autumn (103.00:eek::eek:) which I really in my heart I know I shouldn't but it's one of the only things keeping me sane at the mo

I have a little list of things I would have liked for my holiday and to replace worn out summer things, but realistically I know I will do without unless I can find CS or Ebay bargains).

Have been really unwell the last fortnight ) with a very crooked back, I am now straight, but it cost £143. 00 yesterday :eek:- ( massage therapist and oestopath ) paid for with my DLA and it worries me if when reassessed I don't get PIP.

Returning to my duvet ....
