Got a surprise parcel yesterday froma shipmate which contained Lush soaps and talc. Lots of nice smellies all beautifully wrapped in pink tissue paper scattered with glitter and sequins. It really cheered me up.
Went shopping yesterday as well - actually felt like doing something and it was a sunny day. Bought a black skirt and some glittery crosses.
Ended up babysitting (last minute.com as usual) so I treated myself to a Chinese takeaway. Ordered extra prawn crackers so the children had those today (so I'm in good books).
The good thing about the impromptu babysitting was the fact that I flicked through the cable channels and found Eliza Carthy was on BBC4 - an hour of wonderful folk singing and musicianship. Serendipity.
After staying up to see rather too much Comic Relief I sort of got up late. I did manage to do my washing (laundry basket currently empty) and I did get to sort out my wardrobe with some clothes going to charity and others to the kid's dressing up box.
I went out for a bit this afternoon but came back exhausted and aching. Took painkillers and went to bed. Must have overdone things - I'll have to remember I'm still recovering.
