what a book that was. 4/5 stars, makes such a big difference to read something that is written by someone who can write well! really warm hearted, engaging read. i have rediscovered audiobooks with a fervour. hurrah, now i can sew and read at the same time instead of wondering how to split my hobbies, and then i can take my kindle up to bed and pick up where i left off with the audiobook. i am currently listening to / reading the lies of locke lamora, and woweeee it is so good. like if oliver twist and oceans eleven had a baby that happened to be george r r martin. i can see me finishing it this weekend.
work was fine, lots of CBTs that i finished quite quickly, and therefore was able to do some sewing. i can't believe training finishes on monday! i have finally found out where i am going.... its to retirement quotes! i have never been so pleased. i really loved doing retirements in my last job, so i hope i enjoy them as much as i did. i am so relieved to not be doing transfers. i suppose i should brush up on my GMP knowledge though, as it is currently non existent. and it doesn't look like anyone else from my training team will be doing the same thing as me. oh well.
chris is very poorly with the man flu. i handled it much better than he has, he has barely got out of bed all day! i had to go out to co-op to get more meds and some bread for tomorrow. laura also needed new school shoes as hers have a hole in the bottom - they lasted almost four months this time around though! i found some on amazon for 12.99, i hope they fit her. unfortunately not a no spend day, but a low spend day. i had an email from vinted to say i earned £613 on there last year. i should probably make around the same this year with any luck. every little helps.
got lots of sewing done, my fox now has a head. unfortunately for me, i had a cup of tea after 9pm so i will be awake half the night. i will never learn.
