Hi folks, hope you've had a good week. Mine's been pretty good. On Sunday my bro invited me and hubby down to theirs for a drink. I had a lovely surprise my bro has been writing a book for the past two years and it'll be finally out on sale next month. Its about the Lake District and its called The High Places. What he's done is put together illustrations by Wainwright with journals written by Harry Griffin about different places in the Lake District. Its a lovely book and I'm really very proud of my bro for having this idea and bringing it together. We didn't know anything about it until a couple of months ago as he'd had to keep it secret. Anyway he gave me a copy of the book which I will always treasure.

On Monday I went to see my ma and got another surprise, she's just got an endowment policy pay out and she gave each of us £1,000 each which is lovely. Going to bank most of the money apart from using some of it to buy a new dinner service.

Went back to work on Tuesday and P once again has had a good week with hardly any negativity. I've been in a quandry this week as a job came up in another department which is full time and a level higher than I'm on at the moment. I rang up to see what the possibiities of job share or just doing 30 hours were and they were quite open to it. I'd arranged to go and have a look at the department but got cold feet. Although its been two years since I started recovering from my breakdowns I still feel nervous of taking too much on and although I wanted to go for the job my gut feeling was telling me to stay with what I've got, which is what I've decided to do. Sometimes I think its just me being too scared of moving forward but you've got to take account of your inner feelings which is what I've done.

Hubby went to Brussels yesterday so I'm feeling a bit lonely without him but he's back tonight. Woke up about 3.00 am as it was cold in bed without him.

Not much going on this weekend. Hopefully it'll be dry so that hubby can get on with the patio. Am going to get on with my housework now so see you soon.
