Why is it I have such huge expectations for the weekend and way over commit (in my mind of course!) I want a lie in but then hate losing those hours that I spend in bed, it’s that kind of feeling. All day.

Anyway, I had a great sleep last night and was determined to lie in until 9am. I got out of bed at 9.04…. check me!

I was speaking to Lorna from Pawsitive Solutions last week who never uses an alarm. She goes to bed thinking what time she wants to wake up and it works! Last night was my first time of trying it and I’m pretty impressed.

Other than…. of course…. those 2 hours I lost could have been put to good use….. I don’t know why my head does that. I pick what I want to do and then spend the whole day thinking I shouldn’t have done that but done other stuff. then I get mad with myself. Crazy!

We did an online shop today for the first time since COVID. Boy how the prices have gone up since we did it before! We used to pay £1.50 for delivery and think we were £6.50 for delivery tomorrow. Hey we’d have spent more in fuel in the Jeep…

I got the loveliest handmade gift from my lovely neighbour Joyce.

She has one that her daughter knitted and I admire it every time I see it. She had some multicoloured wool left over and knew that I would love it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

“Since we can’t do hugs… a hug for my head”

How sweet is that! I’m so chuffed with it. Thanks Joycie!!

That reminds me I’ve had another few lovely gifts recently that I forgot to mention.

June has been a huge support on my journey although I’ve never met her. She always told me she was available 24/7 in my darkest days.

Craigs best mate Colin moved out there before I met Craig and his wife Tamika reads the blog. She sent this in our Christmas card. It’s by the bed just now but I’ll probably carry it with me. 💚💙🧡❤️

People are so supportive and caring. I can’t tel you how much I appreciate these gifts. It means so much.

Everyone’s comments about the blog just make it all so worthwhile.

We’re having a takeaway and movie night tonight. South Indian garlic chilli chicken is pretty damn hot!!!! 🌶

Stay safe everyone 💛🧡❤️
