I’m on the last day of my holiday ( at home) & feel a little as if I’ve wasted it. But then I really wasn’t feeling well for most of the first week so didn’t fancy doing much, plus the weather had changed. Still, it was nice not to have to clock watch & apparently work has been manic. DH & I had a lovely few hours to ourselves on Saturday, including a delicious lunch out & shopping. Yesterday I met a friend & her little girl at a wildlife park & sanctuary. DD12 really hit it off with my friend’s DD, even though she’s not quite 5, and it was so sweet to see them together. Such a lovely day. Not doing much today. I’ve done a food shop & really can’t believe I spent nearly £70! Chilled out with the bunnies & am thinking very hard about cleaning the bathroom! DH is working ( he went back yesterday). Supposed to be going for a fringe trim but can’t decide if I need one yet. Need to pop to Lidl for bits I couldn’t get at Asda. Lidl coleslaw is the best! Easy tea tonight of ham salad & new potatoes. Way behind with Love Island so need to catch up.

The washing machine’s on its 4th load of the day, there s small gammon in the slow cooker for pulling and I’m sitting in the sun. The dog has been punted inside as he wouldn’t stop barking. I need to cook some new orators for tea (I’ll take mine to work and leave the rest for those at home) I’m contemplating some lunch and a shower as I start work at 3.

Potatoes not orators!

We're abroad, so I just walked the dogs and now I'm sitting in the kitchen listening to DH getting DS ready to go to daycare. They're singing "Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" Grin.

Then I'll drop him off, get a coffee on the way back, then do a Peloton ride before hopping in the shower and cracking on with work. I've got LIDA of meetings today and I'm not happy about it Sad.

I'm reading Mumsnet to distract from crying about how shit my life is and how much I want to run away.

I had two weeks booked off in August but when I realised there was no chance I would be in Spain or Greece, decided to break them into 2 so had one of those weeks last week.

My DCs are 15 and 17 so had no desire to do anything with me, so I had a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, an eyebrow wax, went to a yoga class, a body combat class, swimming, running, met a friend for lunch, binged Netflix, read my book, walked my dogs and went away for the weekend with my sisters.

It was a fabulous week off work.

Back at work this week. DH at a meeting out of the house, Dd and DS (14&17) have just left. Home alone having a lunch break in the sun 😀

I’m watching Golden Girls whilst packing to go and visit my Dad for a week; we have a 4 hour coach ride tomorrow.

He lives on the coast in Yorkshire and the weather is meant to be shit so I’m having to dig out waterproofs and wellies.

DD1 (13) is upstairs having a shower.

DD2 and 3 (10 and 5) are playing.

Flowers I feel much the same, tbh. My life has crashed down around me in the last year.

We're on holiday in the U.K. 2 year old DS is having a nap whilst 6 year old DS watches some telly. Am just relaxing on sofa with my book and a cuppa and DH is having a nap. Going to the beach when DS wakes up. Perfect!

Sorry to those of you who are struggling Thanks
