As usual, I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot. Girl cat's been down for her breakfast; boy cat must have gone back to sleep - he was laid along my legs when I got up, I thought he'd follow me like he usually does.

I've got the washer going with the first of three loads for today (2 towels, one darks) and will shift shortly to wash up last night's tea pots. First job is take my tablets & sort morning tablets for the coming week though.

We haven't really got much planned for the day. I'll do some crafting, I think, maybe clear out another cupboard. Dd2 sent me a text in the middle of the night asking me to make sure she's up by 10:30, so I'll do that. She spent a lot of yesterday evening sat with me, completing past exam papers, & wanted to carry on today.

Later on, we'll have gammon for tea. Not sure what accompaniments it'll have yet 🤔. I'll see what dd fancies when she's up. We'll have to nip to the shop for some potatoes though, I think.

After that, I'll have my much needed Self-Care-Sunday scrubby everything shower, sort my things for the coming week at work (mock ofstead...so looking forward to it 🙄), and settle down with my new book for an hour or so before an early night 💤.

What about all of you? 🙂

Good Afternoon all.

Been a quiet morning for us, chilling on the sofa watching some tv and building plus plus with ds. I am missing my grandad who we lost at the beginning of December. You think you’re doing okay then it’s like a punch to the gut. @Whiskyfromsmallglasses so sorry for your loss. I also had a little too much to drink last night which opened the flood gates.

Just going to get us all ready for a meal out for my mom’s birthday. Then it’ll be early baths for the kids and chill with an episode of Beast Games before they go to bed. Don’t think I’ll be too far behind them.

Hope everyone is having nice Sundays.

I had a lie in and woke up at 8.30 which is rare for me but I’ve worked loads of overtime lately and I’m exhausted. Had my baby granddaughter overnight last night and she slept all night, she’s such a good baby.
I’m still in pjs but will need to get in the shower soon and take DGD home around teatime. Then I’ll help eldest DD prep for a job interview tomorrow.
Fish and chips for tea, followed by sorting youngest DD’s uniform for school tomorrow.
Later on I might have a cheeky glass of wine whilst catching up on tv shows I’ve missed
