A quiet house…

It’s very quiet here in Home Close! Jack not being here because of his ski trip is making the house so much less noisy than normal. It’s a bit too quiet and I’m missing him being around, as much as he’s annoying as hell at the minute…

Haven’t heard from him but I am sure he’s loving every minute of it and having a great time, I can’t see how he wouldn’t be.

Lewis is obviously over in France as well with Uni skiing and he’s having a good time so all is good!

Worked from home today and it was solely data inputting all day – got it sorted by the end of the day but knackered as a result!

Annie came round and cut our hair and also had a couple of people round to look at the patio area with a view to providing some quotes. Hope to get it sorted soon

Ticking along…

Been awhile since I last updated my diary. No excuse really other than I just couldn't be bothered. 

Worked at Raintree today and worked my bollocks off. So much to do and got nearly all of it done. Nice sense of achievement to have that focus and finish the day on top of things

Stayed until 5.50pm so I could collect Jack from gym and helped them tidy things away and then dropped him off to collect his bike from Summertown and then went home. Had something to eat and then a snooze and a read of my book before doing more work in the evening to prepare for the training session at Peters tomorrow. 

Tash helped Jack get his stuff ready for skiing and he was a nightmare. He's quite a typical teenager at the minute. Not a pleasant attitude and being very argumentative about everything. It's draining.  I left them to it and tried my best to ignore them and work

Finish about midnight but setting my alarm for 5.45am didn't feel nice!!

Struggling

Having a hard time of things at the minute, finding it really hard to focus on work and get things done. Still wasting time on the Sparta games and also the Green Arrow series. 

Anyway, worked from home today and Charlotte sat at the table with me which is a nice way to spend the day. She didn't need to go to school at all so was around the whole time

When Tash finished work she took Charlotte to Bicester village to look for a prom dress. They found one but not the right size so ordered one online

I helped Tash out in the garden to clear some of the tree having been cut down but it's a lot of stuff. I took one lot down the dump but it will need a few more trips I suspect. 

Had a nice Mexican wrap dinner and then took Jack to football. It was really hard work tonight. They just messed about and there was no control , pissed me off quite a lot. I know what to change next time. 

Took Jack home and within 8 minutes we were back off for karate. Did some work whilst waiting and then home again. Charlotte and Miles were watching TV so sat with them for a bit and then Tash was home. She'd been with Lucie and Chrissie and Luke has left for Australia do a year with very short notice so she needed cheering up

Went to bed and read some news and then lights out

Terrible tragedy for France sports personalities involved in a helicopter accident and 10 people dead. Reality TV type show which I guess was due to happen sometime but this is still really shocking as they were high profile athletes and not z list celebs

St David’s Day Celebrations!

Up early in the morning and did the jobs I needed to do as there was no football and went and got some food shopping from Aldi, don’t want to do that again as it was a nightmare. Can’t remember what else we did in the morning but had a nice lunch and then I went up to the pub to watch the end of the football match and then the England v Ireland rugby game.

Had a taste for a couple of beers and ended up having x5 pints in the end before going home a bit tipsy! Had another drink at home and dinner which was nice and then we went and got Bella and walked over the meadow in the dark – that was a laugh.

Back home and more to drink and then watched a film before going to bed…drunk!
