All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word Tell 'em what you heard You're gonna make a better day All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word Tell 'em what you heard You know it's gonna be okay (All Around The World - Oasis)

Is it going to be OK? I have been saying this for the past six years and life takes its toll. Christmas is looming (again) and as much as I have done so much; I feel as if I have achieved so little.  I will let Noel do his thing.  As always, enjoy.

Monday:  An incredibly busy day today. Early start as delivery training all day then straight up to Russell Square for University. However, I was awake from

Again maybe?

4.30 am with my head racing. Also, the boiler chose the most coldest day of the year to decide not to work and the flat and water were freezing. The training was OK and then I had to rush to catch a bus up to Russell Square as I had to collect a book from the library, then a coffee then off to my seminar.  This will be the last one before New Zealand and tonight my lecturer told us all what she expected for our essay proposal.  The lecture was interesting and I am on the right track for my essay so at least that is OK. Finally, got home at 10.30pm absolutely exhausted.

Tuesday:  In the office for most to the day, sitting in meetings wishing I was somewhere else. Not sure where, but not there.  Went home and did nothing and was in bed by 8.00pm. I decided I would get comfy and watch Holby City in the warmth of my lovely bed.  I did not see it, I fell asleep.  I am not surprised. I have had a headache since Sunday night and can't seem to shift it.

Wednesday:  Working from home today, so no commute, no need for make up or hair wash.  Really busy (of course I am) and managed, by the end of the day

to get it all done.  I want to be on top of it before I travel as goodness knows what I am coming back too.  Not the best of weeks, I think Sunday's news is still having an impact.

Thursday:  This year has not been the best of years, for numerous reasons and this week is shaping up to be a right treat!  Received a text message that gave me no surprises whatsoever, yet left me feeling deflated. Followed a few hours later by another text message which just made me feel, well let's leave it there. I wish I could get on that bloody plane now on a one way ticket!

Friday:  Right on queue today we have the launch the John Lewis Christmas Advert. Thank you for that!  Each year I love it/dread it and this year is no exception. The song is a cover by Elbow, one of my favourite bands and it is emotionally challenging.  I sobbed then sobbed a bit more. I was hoping to be on a plane away from all this madness before it started this year. So much for that idea.  Flat cleaned, bedding washed ironed and put away, final bits put together. Sigh.  

Saturday:  Busy day, usual start and was very happy with the result. Then off to have nails done.  Takes so long and I can just about manage to sit there waiting for them to dry.  Caught the bus up to Waterloo.  I wanted to to go Tottenham Court Road but the bus was terminated at Waterloo as the bridge was closed.  Don't know why.  I think it was something to do with the Lord Mayor's firework display.  Met up with Andy and we went to see Young Frankenstein.  It was the stage production of the Mel Brooke's film and we were not disappointed.  It was so funny and I laughed out loud literally.  My favourite bit in was the same as the film 'Putting on the Ritz' really funny and I would definitely recommend it.

Terrible nights sleep but I guess it does not matter as my sleep pattern is about to go out of the window.  If you want to read about my New Zealand adventure you will find it at:

As always, with my love x
