Thanks!

Its 7:30pm here, and all my stuff is packed, and will be heading to J'burg airport in about an hour, even though my flight isnt until 5 minutes to midnight (SAST), so will be spending a few hours waiting around.

Sad to leave SA and its lovely hot weather, but I still love England despite the cold winter nights

Have a safe flight @Mulholland Drive !

Woke up late, got out of bed even later. Had a bite and spent pretty much the entire day on tattle and Youtube. Had lunch and went for a walk to get some fresh air at least for 30 minutes. Bought pads and tampons and came back home. Spent some time rrading and again, watching videos. Had a piece of amaretti biscuit and now I bundled up in my tv blanket, drinking decaf tea. Feeling very meh.

That sounds like a really lovely day! Just watch out for the cops next time you're out and about in case they nick you for defying Covid rules

Everyone is talking about takeaways on here tonight, so I think when I get home tomorrow night I'll order a huge Chinese and pig out!

Woke up 9ish and had a cuppa in bed. All up and had breakfast, showered and dressed.

Stuck some washing on. Played on the Ring Fit with the youngest. It really does work you. That... and I’ve definitely become very unfit over the last few months!

Kids all went off to do their own thing. Put an episode of Taskmaster on with the other half. Popped to a shop to pick up a parcel. Came back and had a bath with face mask, washed and dried hair. Read more of book.

Came down to read more whilst cooking tea. Kids all came down and started winding each other up within seconds. Tonight is family TV night with snacks. Hoping to finish book after as not much left now.

Loafed about, internet-surfing, reading and eating, while reflecting on the fact I weighed myself for the first time in a while last night and got an unpleasant surprise.

Woke up with the worst shooting back pain its the mattress so I changed it for the mattress in my so called partners room without him noticing. Caused me more pain moving mattresses around and changing bedding. Laid on sofa feeling sorry for myself for a few hours. Then was brave dyed my hair never done before always got my sister to do it. Must say feel alot better not seeing the grey hairs. Soaked in Bath but the shooting pain is still coming and going

 

[emilynxlan]

Hope you have a safe and enjoyable flight! @Mulholland Drive

I'm absolutely exhausted so didn't get up until midday today.
Tried making a start on coursework about 1pm, but because I'm so burnt out I got nothing done.
Spent the afternoon just trying to relax but knowing the deadlines are looming just made me more stressed.
The only highlight of my day is the Graze treat I had about half an hour ago.

I hope you feel better very soon but I have to say, I approve of this

Safe flight thinking of you @Mulholland Drive


Had a migraine all day been in and out of sleep. Just wrestled my 10 month old to sleep and think I won't be long after him

Stepdaughter got delivered in the worst mood at 8 this morning. Watched the grinch for a few minutes got bored. Destroyed the mothers day canvas I got her to paint, mixed all paint up so all had to be binned. Marched upstairs demanding to be left alone, her dad went to get her all played monopoly crying her eyes out because the being the duck didn't get her to win

I had an argument, before 10am!

Yesterday I recieved a parcel. I had it sent to my dads address by accident instead of mine from Asos. Anyway, I had opened said parcel yesterday evening to notice all my beauty stuff I had ordered wasn't in there. So I got through to my sister this morning, as she had forwarded it here, for her to then tell me "my eyes lit up so I took them" and that she thought my new trainers were disgusting. I just find it really rotten she opened and went through my parcel helping herself to what she fancied from it before forwarding it on!

She's 35. Has her own money. We haven't fallen out for years. She usually has quite strong morals and would go absolutely berserk if anyone did the same to her. She doesn't see anything wrong in what she has done at all!

What happened last night?

 

[Mulholland Drive]

What happened last night?

I was due to fly out of Johannesburg back to London Heathrow. However, right at the last minute KLM cancelled the flight, and we all had to get refunds or rebook.

Not the kind of thing you want at 11pm of a night time, and having waited 3 hours in the lounge waiting for the flight to be called (and then subsequently cancelled)
