Just seem to be so tired so it will be a case of forcing myself to go and I have been really good as husband made some orange cake (gluten free) and I refused it and gave it to my colleagues.
Don't beat yourself up - sleep is just as important as exercise. Your body knows what it needs and today the sleep won - and you did pass on the orange cake

I am falling asleep at my desk so tonight is going to be out.

And there is a Freddo bar winking at me in the office but so far I have told it to sod off.

Right, wine is in the fridge waiting for later.

Been to Costco today for the first time. queues, mayhem and obese trolleys. Sadly no Walmart type people.

Drinking wine, in my pj's and sitting in another room on the laptop while OH is watching footy.

Sad??

At least I'm going out to a youth theatre performance- greek tragedies - tomorrow. Cheerful stuff!

You're welcome Apologies for my argumentative OH though Hoping to keep my eyes open while watching James Bond Oh, and L has had her first bag of Maltesers

Good luck with the househunting

Glad they are looking after you - had some good times with them all, and hopefully more to come

Course you have to put up with the problem if ROMFT's bad taste in football teams, but beyond that its all good

Spent most of the afternoon in the roof rewiring coax for the TVs.

The Youth theatre Greek plays were quite entertaining. DD's friend was really funny, and quite scary as "Hate" from Pandora's box.

Today OH and I went out to look at showhomes. We couldn't find Homeworld for over an hour as it wasn't signposted, but we did find some "eco" homes and had a look round, then the estate agent showed us how to get to Homeworld. My feet and back now ache, and I've got another day of walking about tomorrow as DD has her citizenship appointment in the CBD, and I've got to get her a formal dress too.
