It’s oh so quiet

I’ve had the house to myself all day and it’s been lovely and quiet after the noise of last week.
I got the banking done, the grocery delivery ordered from Tesco, the kitchen clean and lots of programmes watched that had been recorded on Virgin.
The number of hours of recording time left was nearly critical! It was down to 6 hours free because I didn’t get a chance to watch much last week.
I’ve still got loads of episodes left to watch of Cold Case, Burn Notice, Being Erica, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family to name a few! You’d be right if you’re thinking that I’m a TV addict!

Ant came home from work this evening and cooked us a deliciously comforting dinner of sausage, mash, cabbage, peas and onion gravy. His mash is always the best and I was pleased to see there’s a bit left, along with a sausage and some gravy 🙂 That’s lunch for tomorrow sorted.

I’m off to bed soon. I’ve got the girl’s room to tidy tomorrow. I’m not looking forward to it and need a good nights sleep to be able to tackle it!

On a different note, I’m working my way through World Without End by Ken Follet and it’s been so good recently I’ve been waiting to go to bed so I can read some more.
I went to bed at 9.30 last night and read till midnight.
On reflection, going to bed so early wasn’t good for my back. I first woke at about 1.30 am in terrible pain and it stayed with me all night, no matter how many times I changed position.
I ended up getting up just after 5 am and slept sitting up in the chair downstairs. I woke later than usual, at 9.30 (can’t remember the last time I slept so late) with a sore shoulder and neck……I just can’t win!
I’m going to take painkillers tonight and hope I get more sleep than last night.
