First day back at work

First day back at work after a weeks holiday, was hard.

Mixed emotions

The last month or so has been a time of ups and downs, it really has been a bit of a roller coaster ride. I have had so many different emotions running through my body that I don't know whether I have been coming or going.

Of course I have had the usual worry about whether I can afford the house or not, the lodger has finally been able to pay me some money so that worry has eased so I can now look forward, that isn't to say a nice Lottery win wouldn't go a miss but we all dream of that but it seldom comes true. I am not talking millions although it would be nice, I would like just enough to pay the mortgage and debts off so I can relax a bit and start living my life again.

The car has been playing up and seems to be drinking petrol quicker than I can drink a pint of lager on a Saturday night, thanks to Garry at Lightning Automotive though most have the problems have been solved.

The worst part of the last few weeks has been the passing of one of my work colleagues who had a heart attack whilst on delivery and the passing of my very good friend Judith after a long illness. I was lucky enough to share a few moments with her before she went into hospital and will treasure them forever but just wish things could have been different. Her funeral was a very emotional affair and even now I still can't believe that she has gone. RIP Jude

Looking on the bright side I have had the girls this week and although they have run me ragged it has been great to have them stay. Georgie is really starting to say a lot of words now, I sometimes think of changing my name from Daddy.It makes me laugh the way she shouts for Mr Tumble on the kids show Something Special. Aston is really enjoying school and has had me collecting all kinds of junk to take to school to make things with, I suppose it saves the bin men a job.

Christmas will soon be with us and I have been busy adding new products to The Memorabilia Shop and All Occasions Frames web sites.
On a personal note I am a bit apprehensive about Christmas, I'm not too sure what is going to happen with the girls, obviously I would love to have them all weekend but realistically I know that their Mother will want them sometime, just not looking forward to spending time apart from them over the festive period.

Well that is it for now, hopefully I will have more good news to report soon.
