Spread your wings and fly away

Today has been a better day compared to yesterday.

Today I feel as thought I have achieved something, caught up with mayself and am a lot more organised.

Today there was no stress, no hassle, no twenty questions - in fact I was able to pass some good news onto someone and put a smile on their face which always makes me feel good

I had lunch with my lovely hubby earlier. He took the day off work so that he could sort out a few things with his van in anticipation of getting it through the dreaded MOT. So as it was his birthday we met up at the local pub at lunchtime and had a pub lunch. I had to leave him there though to finish his meal as I had to dash back to work, but it was nice just us two eating together for a change without the kids in tow - we should do it more often.

He has gone now to watch spurs play Cardiff and has taken his step-father, so I will be tucked up in bed by the time he gets home

It is still raining here, has been all day, not sure how much more we can cope with. Mild though even if the wind is picking up at times though it doesn't seem to be that bad - forecast is not good for the rest of the week but will deal with that when the time comes.

Son has announced that he needs walking boots for his trip next week - oh joy more money, don't think mine will fit him somehow and can't really order them off the internet as it is leaving it a bit late now.

Right enough rambling must go and get some tea on and feed my two children before they start going on about how starving they are

As I look out of the window, in the dark, I can hear the rain hitting the window pane.

Great, raining still.

And it isn't just a gentle pitter patter, it is the type that drenches you as you step outside the door - great fun not.

Keep thinking never mind it will soon start to get lighter, the weather will get better, but what if we have a wet spring/summer? I can't think of anything worse, I am fed up with it all!

Nigel is 45 today. I am going to take him for lunch at lunchtime then he is off to watch Spurs play Cardiff later so a quiet evening at home with the kids for me. We will celebrate his birthday as a family at the weekend, by going out for a meal, something we tend to do after all another year older, another year wiser, you survived another year therefore celebrate with a meal out lol!

Hoping for a better day today than yesterday. It was dreadful. One of the worst I have been through in a while. By the time I got home from work, meetings etc it was was 8.15 and I was shattered and hungry. A satisfying cucumber and pickled red cabbage roll satisfied the hunger pains (yeah who am I kidding I just couldn't be bothered to cook at that time)I decided to head off to bed where I spent the night tossing and turning while the days events went through my head, how I could have done things differently, would anyone notice the mess I made chairing the meeting, How rude was I to one person, how could I resolve it, what was I going to do and yet would it make a difference?

I know I am rambling here. To clear up I wasn't intentionally rude, just think what I did could be considered rude and really upshot is I shouldn't have chaired the meeting, I should have just sent in belated apologies and not gone - afterall I had forgotten about the other meeting I should have been at and didn't turn up to!

Ah well today is another day. There is nothing I can do about what has happened. I have sent an email apologising to the person I was unintentionally rude to, that is all I can do. Thoughts still going through head though and I feel so bad, but time moves on and it has been an experience I never want to repeat again.

Right now that I have bored you to tears, off I go now to get ready for work and attempt to face the pouring rain
