Tired – exhausted – again!  Busy weekend with work again – kinda grateful for the bit of extra cash, but wow it’s hectic! 

Yesterday we had our friends round for dinner – so in between work calls I was making bits for dinner and trying to tidy the house.  Was very aware this time that I had to keep our meal as cheap as possible, so tried to make the most of stuff I already had in the house.  Worked out ok.  Made potato and onion soup for starters, then a sausage and bacon risotto (basically just chucked in stuff as I went along lol)  then did a whole load of different veggies.  I made a banana and mixed fruit cake, and then bought a maple and pecan roulade – cus it’s hubbys fave.  We had a lovely evening – lots of chat, quite a bit of wine, and then we got to bed around 12.30. Actually earlier than it usually is when we meet up – but 1 set of friends had to get home before 12 as they were paying a baby sitter.  The other couple left at the same time then.  I think we were all struggling to keep our eyes open as everyone seems to have had a rather stressfull couple of weeks – with a lot of different things causing some stress.

Last night was my first night off in a month – and although it was a lovely evening – it wasn’t exactly relaxing – so tonight on my second evening off I thought ‘sod it’ and watched Avatar lol.  A friend of mine had mentioned on fb that she had watched it last night on tv.  I had seen it once, but it was a while ago.  Actually really enjoyed it – although we had to split it into 2 sessions for dinner.  Now – I’m spending a few minutes online catching up a bit on everything I have missed over the weekend, then I will read a bit.  Honestly I don’t think I will be reading for long as my eyes feel so heavy and feeling generally weary. 

I hope everyone had a good weekend, love and blessings xxx
