Day 41: Saturday 20th April

The hot bath and clean pjs idea worked a treat. Silent house, no bed-time shenanigans, and 12 hours beautiful sleep for me. Thank you, Mr Sandman.

Woken by the telephone - too much sleep is bad for you, apparently (!).

It's amazing how a single sentence can suck all the happy out. Although I am extremely careful with the family budget, I make allowances for birthdays and other special days. The mention of debts you can't get out of and bailiffs coming round isn't something to boost the mood - just when I thought I had put Thursday behind me. 
Well-meant, and spoken with unconditional love,  but kind of hoovered it all out of me in one little gang of words.

I will not let it spoil the day. 

Hair colour to hide the grey?   Check.
Soya milk and weetabix breakfast?  Check.

Washing I did last night pegged out? Check.

Chicken Jalfrezi Soup for lunch? Check.

Waiting for BFF Sally to come and get me! Got a top on that I haven't worn for 5 years. No make-up as it appears to have been removed from my bedroom into someone else's care. At least she hasn't borrowed my hair brush!

She's here! Off we go!!!!!
