So tired ....!!

Oh dear, I am sitting here thinking I have so much to post but struggling to stay awake. I keep staring off into space and yawning my head off!!

I had a late night last night, it was Children in Need and I was helping man the phonelines again this year. It was great fun again. The only problem was, some of the people on the later shift did not turn up and we had a surge in calls at 9.20 which was just before we were due to change shifts. I agreed to stay a bit longer to help them over it and ended up staying until 10.15 when there was a lull. My final call was brilliant, I took a donation of £500 from a guy. I was stunned, that is the highest donation I've ever taken - people are so generous. The callers are lovely, I had one call from a lady with two little boys, the call started with one of them saying they wanted to give money to the children who don't have grandparents to look after them!! Then his brother came on at the end to say he was watching Bob the Builder and that he loved me - it was so sweet, those are the calls which make it all worthwhile!!

I was shattered by the time I got home at 11. I had been in work since 8.45! I just went straight to bed and sleep.

We had a new bed delivered on Wednesday - it is just fantastic!! I get problems with my back so we decided to get a really good bed. It wasn't cheap but it is worth every penny. It is a super kingsize and is completely huge - I almost need a step ladder to get into it. It is so comfortable, you feel completely supported all along your spine. The only problem is that you don't want to get out of it!

I was planning to have a nice long lie in this morning but the dog went mad when the post arrived and woke me up. I then needed to go to the bathroom and she was asking to go out so I'm up, perhaps I'll sneak back in a minute.

It has been a very busy week, I was in London last Saturday with my friend for our bi-annual trip to see a show. This time we saw Calendar Girls - it was fantastic, I would thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of seeing a show. We had lovely day out.

I then had to go back to London on Monday with work which was tiring!

We are out with friends for curry tonight which should be great and then my boyfriend's brother and his family are coming to lunch tomorrow so I need to go shopping at some point! I also have to go over to Bristol to get my hair done. So I probably don't have time to sneak back for a nap!!

I just hope all this activity, with little time for eating, is having a positive impact on my weight!!
