Day 1421 the little gift shop, housework and feet up

I am so tired. It’s 5.15pm and I could actually just go to bed now.

I slept like a log last night, first time in a good few nights and it felt great.

It’s also been a really good day.

I was in the little gift shop again and it was really busy! Lots of people buying for Mother’s Day, which is tomorrow in the UK.

Gayle has a new stock control system which I’m obsessed with!! You can track sales per item type…. I love it. Means you have to put card sales through as a card sale etc so a bit more concentration required at check out… but I loved the reports section. 😂😂

Gayle gave me a lovely card.

It made me a wee bit tearful!!

We spent a long time trying for kids. Nothing wrong with either of us… just one of those things and with hindsight I knew deep down that I never would have kids. I made peace with that a LONG time ago but sometimes I get a trigger that reminds me of how it all felt at the time. I was working in a very stressful environment… walking out of meetings at 12pm to inject my stomach and then returning to whatever stress I’d just left… it’s hardly any wonder it didn’t work!

Anyway, so lovely of Gayle and she also gave me a reed diffuser which is currently filling our hallway with vanilla and coconut, it’s lovely.

Claire came to visit after work and we had a good catch up…been too long!

Khaleesi cooried right in to her Auntie Claire!

It’s lovely to see how relaxed she was with her. Khaleesi that is… not Claire 😂😂

As soon as Claire left I got right into the housework… before I sat down! Hoovered everywhere. Shook out all the blankets and tried to remove as much dog hair as I could. Did a washing and hung it up.

I felt really tired and shaky once I finished hoovering so had some food and sat down… felt much better.

A quick FB memory of my hen night… 14 years ago!

Mum and Auntie Marion cocktail making.

Lea was my Maid of Honour! We all look so young!

Ahhhh life moves pretty fast….

Good old Ferris Bueller!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1379 dog jog, dog walk and our nieces 16th birthday party! 🥳

Wide awake at 5am, got up and moved down to the couch to read. Subsequently felt shattered all day.

I got Calaidh and Bhru ready and out for 8.30am and we did the first dog jog in months…. It felt really good. It blew the cobwebs away and the poor puppers were wondering what on earth had happened all of a sudden. We were all breathless when we got back, though not sure they had done anything more than a fast walk 🙄😂 I forgot to take my phone so no pics.

Back home and changed into walking gear and took baby Freya down to the little gift shop to get a birthday card.

She was so good. I did some lead training with her on the way. She doesn’t go out on her own that often so it’s good for her to get some socialisation and go see her Auntie Gayle.

We talked for a wee bit too long and she actually lay down and almost nodded off.

Bless her.

Look at the poor gate on the way back home. It’s just hingin’ in there isn’t it?! I felt really sorry for it…. Empathy for an old gate. Whatever next?!

I lay down for an hour and read and tried to nap but didn’t. Got up and had a shower before Craig got home from work.

We have been up at my sis in laws for our niece’s 16th birthday party. How can she actually be 16 already?!?

We had some lovely party food and was great to catch up with everyone as we didn’t see them over Christmas.

I got a lovely Joma bracelet for my Christmas from them. It’s a gold acorn for strength.

It’s super shiny compared to the others I’ve worn every day.

We played a family quiz game and I always think I’m so rubbish at quizzes. My head just says nope, nope, nope when it’s under pressure and my brain leaves me alone. 😂 I did really well and came 4th or 3rd I think but I was just guessing to take the pressure off!! Obviously good guesses. 🙈😂

So just a quickie tonight as I’m soooo tired! Hope you all have a great Saturday night!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
