I love my nephew but so far today -
A dog walk
90 mins swimming
Made sausage rolls
Made biscuits
90 mins on inflatables
Played doddle and now out again with his RC car.
Only another 4 days until he goes home 🤣

Went to visit my parents today. They were ready and waiting with a long list of jobs that needed doing from sorting their iPad to helping switch dad’s mobile contract.
I do miss not living round the corner from them

Possibly an unpopular option but saw ABBA Voyage yesterday. Yes it is very clever, yes the effects are great but I was disappointed with the song choices and leaving out some of their best hits. Just seemed a bit flat #abbavoyage

Just had some lovely flowers and a card from an adopter I helped to get an adoption allowance. It was a very long fight and one that really should not have been needed. When you are at your most vulnerable, you should not have to bare your soul many times and beg!

So I am now officially unemployed. Going to take a bit to time to decide what direction I take next and heal from the last few months.

Just watched Wicked. I loved it. Kept me awake which takes some doing 🤣
One tip, go for the best seats they have as even with all my padding on my bum it went numb as it is a long film.
