13th January 2011

Woke up this morning with a start, 9am, now I am feeling cross and grumpy, entirely my own fault, I went to bed late again last night and could not get to sleep as I had been eating salted roasted peanuts before going to bed. I had made a list of tasks I wanted to achieve for today starting at 7am and had even set my alarm last night, it went off but I chose to switch it off and go back to sleep fully expecting to wake up at 8am, thinking I would push everything forward an hour, but 2hours is just too much! So now Im stuffy headed and grumpy!

The weather has been dull dull and more dull this week, it is definitely having an effect on my mood and there is also a slight drizzle to a big drizzle or in other words rain. I want to get on with the tasks I set but feel I have wasted precious hours so what is the point in starting, bit of a vicious circle going on here.

We went for a walk over the top yesterday, that is what we call it anyway, it takes about an hour and we go up the road, over the fields, through a farm yard, back on to roads and home. It is a pleasant walk when it is sunny, we did it in thick mist so you couldn't see any views at all. Normally you can see Williamson Park  memorial and the Cumbrian mountains in the distance, at the moment they look just stunning with their tops covered in snow. The field section of the walk is always a muddy slippy affair and even more so at the moment.Light weight boots are my choice of footwear, mine have been worn to death and let in water but I cannot afford any more and I would rather wear those than my trainers so my feet squelched as I walked along, Richard has the same problem with his trainers, they also have been worn to death and leak, what a pair we are!

We do have some funds in the bank now, but we are saving it in the hope of buying a house either later this year or probably next year so we do not want to use it for normally everyday living and just managing on Richard's wages. It is diffiuclt not having my wage, I liked the regular wage coming in but like I said before working at the shop was getting me down, so I need to get on, get on with my workshops which I hope will pay better money and give me more time. My head is feeling less stuffy now and I have managed to boost my will to get on with things. Adios for now!
