Manic Monday

After a very slow and late start to the day...........

1~Getting to the front of the queue in Sainsburys because no one wanted to use the self scan tills. Why wouldn't you? The queue was huge and I felt very depressed on joining it, until I saw that I could walk all the way to the front and scan myself.

2~I've lost my scream daddy - said Master T this morning. He has a cough and possibly a sore throat - not that either is slowing him down.

3~A new magazine to take to bed.

Tuesday

1~Getting a mini cheddar from Master T (already sucked by him). That's good sharing!

2~Persuading Mr T to walk a little further with me this morning so I didn't slip on the ice. He was worried we would both end up on the ground!

3~Cakes at work to celebrate Ms S's birthday. Happy birthday!

Monday, Monday

1~My first run of the year - well my first run for months. It was more of a plod, the distance wasn't great but it did involve two significant hills. Have had a piece of my healthy fatless fruit cake as a reward.

2~Now that Christmas is over, my lunch hour was devoted to birthday present shopping. Still need another couple of boy presents for the end of the month.

3~Cheesey crumpets for Master T's tea. He devoured them.

Friday

1~Master T playing with his good friend J. It was going so well until he forgot about sharing.......... We enjoyed S's homemade scones regardless of the stress!

2~The sight of the grass again - just a wee bit, but it's a start.

3~A small bar of green and black's white chocolate...mmmmmmmmm!!

Chilly Thursday

1~First pilates class of the year - but it was sooooooooo cold.

Chilly Tuesday

The snow is disappearing, but it is feeling colder than ever - the wind. Starting to see the garden again and the bulbs poking through.

1~ A meeting at work with such lovely people.

2~Master T being very brave getting his immunisations this afternoon. I did not have high hopes - but he was a little star *****. No tears and no screams. We went and had a rootle around the library afterwards.

2~A kiss on the nose from Master T.

3~Fish and chips from the chip shop for tea. What a treat!

It's the Middle of the Week

Middle of the week and I don't seem to have achieved very much, either at home or at work. I just don't know where the time goes. At least we were home a little bit earlier tonight. Master T was very grumpy even though I let him watch Wallace and Gromit - his latest obsession.

Me and Mr T have both gone down with the nursery bug. Nothing terrible, but just enough to make you feel a bit under par, and cause my sinuses to rebel.

I have just read Attic24 and so wish I could stay at home with 30 balls of wool for a few days. it would be so nice to achieve something. I tried to get back to my square knitting at the weekend, but Master T wouldn't give me peace and by the time he was in bed, I had lost interest.

Maybe I just need to sit down with The Good Husband of Zebra Drive and escape to Botswana. I can dream..............
