Is it possible that your sister could help?

No, she's made plans today. I will get it done, I just need a burst of energy.

I'm going to the shop now and then I'll go home and tidy. I'll put music on whilst I tidy, that should help.

Catch you guys later.

Hey guys.
Sorry I don't have the brainpower to read everything but hope you're all ok!

I will <3

What's everyone up to?

I don't sign my card because I thought it wouldn't be necessary in days of chip and pin. I did it before they had chip and pin though.

Haha! :p

That sounds frustrating! Old people are the worst for things like this!

That basically also at any point you can be randomly asked to provide a signature in addition to pin to prove it is you making the transaction. Also if the chip and pin machines are malfunctioning you will still be able to purchase stuff by signing for it.

I'm back. I did some tidying and it has actually made it easier to work at my easel. I even did a bit of painting and plan to do more tomorrow. I'll get up early tomorrow and do a bit more tidying before the electrician arrives. Now I'm trying to relax.

Thanks Amy.

That's great you got all that done Lorraine :)

I had a good loss at slimming world and pizza is in the oven!

Well done Beckie. Enjoy your pizza.

Thanks :)

Thanks Amy :)

Watching holby now! Anyone watching anything good?

I am watching Britain's got talent Beckie.

I've never been able to get into that.
I've seen a few clips

I'm deciding what to watch on Netflix. It's nice to relax after tidying. I'm dreading the electricians coming over, but at least it forced me to tidy.
I'm definitely going to paint tomorrow now I've cleared my space.

I always find I am more relaxed when the house is tidy.
Hopefully the electricians won't take long.

I hope not. I'm going out for lunch with my sister afterwards, so I have something nice to look forward to.

That's good.
Always nice to have something to look forward to!

Hey guys :)

Hey Lillie!
Just about to go to bed but didn't want to ignore your post!!
Hope you're ok :)

Good morning everyone.

I have electricians in. They are drilling into walls, taking over my flat and it's stressing me out. I can't wait for them to finish.

And they are gone. :)

I'm now getting ready to go for lunch with my sister. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Hey guys.
Just got up.

Well done for dealing with the electricians Lorraine.
Hope you have a good lunch!

Yes well done Lorraine. I know how stressful it is to have strangers in your flat.

I've ordered my washer dryer and it's coming tomorrow! :-D
Although it will be between 7am and 7pm which is annoying!
Waiting for a carer to come and do some paperwork and stuff so I will have carers coming in to help me with my meds which is a bit :ermm: but probably a good thing.

Thanks guys. I'm home from lunch with sister. It was so sunny we sat in a beer garden. I had a veggie burger. I'm now home and falling asleep on my bed after my early start this morning. My glass of wine with lunch is probably making me sleepier.

That's great about the washer Beckie. You'll be glad to have one again. Try not worry about the carer. Hopefully they won't be too long and will be helpful.

That sounds lovely Lorraine!
Will be good to have a rest now.

The carer was really nice.
I'm going to have someone come at 10am and 7pm every day.
Should be ok. And she said they try to make sure it's the same people every time. Like one for the morning and one for the evening.
Might actually be nice to have a little chat with someone every day. I can sometines go for days without an actual conversation with someone.

So I officially have the best sister! I was just about to nap when my sister text me to say she has a package that arrived at the post office. It was a present for me. Sparkly black converse shoes. They are gorgeous! We went back out to collect it then she naughtily took me to the pub for another drink.

Oh wow what a lovely surprise!

I know. I'm lucky to have her. I'm going to get her a present, but not sure what. Maybe a bag of her favourite goodies, bath bombs, chocolates etc. I am in the middle of doing a painting for her and I am going to do a large charcoal drawing that she wanted.

Sounds good :)

It's my sister's birthday at the end of June. I don't know what to get her! She's going to be 13.
Something horse related probably

That's a difficult age because she will want to be grown up, but is really still a kid. A horsey gift sounds good. Does all you family like horses? I know you've spoken about horses a few times.

Exactly!

Yes my family are very into the horsey scene. They do competitions quite a lot. They have 5 horses atm. My horse has retired though!
Jasmine actually did her first tiny jump In her last lesson!
She's a good rider!

That's really good Jasmine is carrying on the tradition. It must be nice to take care of a horse. Beautiful animals.

They are beautiful animals! I love them.
Jasmine loves riding. She's been riding for nearly 3 years now so she's getting good!
It is nice to have them but my god they are hard work! Lol!

I imagine they are hard work, but very rewarding too. One of my local parks has horses and I love seeing them.

They are definitely worth all the work!
Love my horseys!
I really want to start riding lessons again but need to lose a little bit more weight first.

Riding lessons is something to look forward to. I'll need to go back to the park that has the horses and take photos. I'll post them when I do.

Ooo I have a idea Beckie. I will pm you.

I'd love to see those photos Lorraine!

Ok dawn!

I'll take photos next time I'm there. One horse looks like an elderly chap and I'm convinced he's always smiling.
