Happy List in Diary

I finally made it home 2.5 hours after leaving work and 12.5 hours after leaving the house this morning, including an hour creeping along the motorway for 20 miles. What a bloody stressful day it's been overall, but I'm home now, in my pyjamas and I want to list some good things to cheer me up.

• I was wondering why Jay kept suggesting Florence and the Machine songs for us to perform, until I whined "But I can't sing like Florence Welch, I won't do the songs justice." and he looked surprised and said "But your voices are the same! You both have that purity, all you need is some more confidence." I would never in a million years think I could sing anywhere near as well as Florence Welch, but it made me smile to hear Jay think that I could.

• Out of the next seven weeks, four of them only have four working days due to all the public holidays we have coming up.

• Next weekend I get to visit my family Oop North, whom I miss very much. One activity we have planned is going for a walk in the Lake District with my dad, which we used to every Sunday when I was growing up. Another activity is driving to Yorkshire to see my mam enjoying the present which me, dad and Sonja got her for her 60th birthday last year; a helicopter ride which has been a lifelong dream of hers.

• Creme Egg easter eggs for £1 in Asda! One Creme Egg on its own is normally about 60p, but here we have TWO Creme Eggs AND a hollow chocolate egg. Nom.

• I bought a new bottle of fabric conditioner today! Yeah, that's a strange thing to put in a Happy List, but I love it when our fabric conditioner runs out as it means I get to go to the supermarket and sniff all the lovely smells, choose the best one and see how lovely it smells when I pull out the first load of washing and hang it up to dry.

Chill.
