Two weeks off and the hall is complete

Last day of my two weeks off and it has gone by sooo quick. First week spent completing hall decorating of which I am very pleased. Its a lovely clean magnolia with a subtle wall paper downstairs. I've spent too much money on gloss paint, curtains and other bits and pieces but it does look so much better now. I'm not ashamed to open the door now or invite people inside at least to the hall just hope they don't need the bathroom as that is my current room of shame with the skanky horrible peeling bath.

Back to holiday and most of this week has been taken up with training in Sussex with Greg once again. We think this is about our 5 or even 6th time so we are very comfortable with working with each other and do feel that this last lot of training went particularly well with some really good feedback. It felt slightly strange not doing it as ECC this time but the money coming directly to us will be very welcome.

The money will go on a thousand projects from going towards the bathroom to fitting a new boiler to having the meter enclosed in a cupboard to fixing my car before it goes back or just paying off overdraft!

So today my last day and the only one I have really rested on has been spent just pottering and dosing and watching tv. It just shows how much work takes up my emotional time as today for the first time for ages I missed Mr V and started texting and harrassing him again...bless him he didn't say get lost but responded so thats good.

I'm supposed to be going out tonight with Jayne and Yas but am already feeling like I really can't be bothered and also worrying about spending money I can't really afford on wastful stuff like taxi's and drink. At the moment I just want to spend money on improving the home, we need hall carpet!

So just the weekend and then its back to work with all its stresses and pressures and to be honest I am not looking forward to it. I'd like another week off to do the garden now but of course that is out of the question.

Weather - gorgeously sunny and warm but cold snowy weather is predicted.

Money - not looking

Health - good although feeling fat and out of condition

News - Little Shannon's step grandmother and aunty arrested along with her step father and step uncle...what a mess!
Prince Philip in hospital with chest infection...is the end near?
