How is it possible that I have 17 whole days off work and it’s not even in the summer with the possibility of the sun shining?!?

That makes me sound so ungrateful and I really am not. You know me. That length of time at home gives me itchy feet…. 😆 it’s just the way Christmas falls and our bosses have been kind enough to let us finish early as all our work was completed.

So obviously we have lots of plans over the festive period but I am also planning to blitz the house. I hope I can bothered doing it as the clutter really gets to me through the year, so it will be good to have a proper big clear out.

I was a really heavy frost this morning, which was totally unexpected for me, Mrs weather girl…. I did not see that coming.

Thanks to my lovely neighbour, Helen, I used my thick food bag, filled with warm tap water, to defrost the car and it worked beautifully.

It was already 1.5°C by 7.15am so the freshly cleared windscreen didn’t refreeze as fast as it would have if it was colder.

Work went really fast today.

I got that really painful stomach cramp at about 12 noon and it lasted for a couple of hours until I took some Buscopan Cramp meds. I don’t go anywhere without them since I had really bad cramp a few months back. I didn’t each much of my lunch as a result. there’s a silver lining to that!!

I had a plastic bottle full of hot water to use a hot water bottle. That really helped too.

I felt better by about 2pm.

I think I panic when it happens as it’s a really bad cramp and I don’t know where to put myself. Anyway….

I think I have almost cracked the “loading items to sell on Amazon” debacle. Unfortunately I didn’t get one loaded for sale today but hopefully I’ll remember enough when I get back! I had a call with a company who do that for a living and they said I was almost there so didn’t need their help.

Check me.

I was a wee bit secretly pleased with that outcome.

So after work I popped to the charity shop to drop in 4 big bags. I bought myself 3 books in case I get bored in the holiday…. Also 2 balls of wool that I will use to make more baby blankets for the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley.

I bought the mint green and the cream.

Check me being all prepared dor some down time.

So I will leave you with this….

Stay safe everyone ♥️🫶🏼♥️
