Bits and bobs...

Not a lot happening this week. I have been working and it has been quite busy again. I managed to e mail the introduction of my essay to my tutor at Uni. She has read it over and e mailed back with suggestions for improvements. Although she did say that it was a promising start, there's a few too many suggestions in there for my liking. I shall now be spending Sunday re-vamping what I have done so far, it's a bloody nightmare.

Sparks phoned unexpectedly last night and it was great to hear from him. We are off to Blackpool to see Paul Weller next friday, and I think that it may be a good idea if we stayed overnight. I will speak to my mum and see if she can have the dog for me, then I will try and arrange some accommodation.

I have felt pretty sorry for myself this week. It's the weather. Although I like it to be dry and sunny, I really hate the cold dark nights and mornings. My lips are so chapped that they are permanently sore, the eczema is coming back on my feet, my hands are chapped and the skin is cracking and no matter how many layers I wear or how high I have the fire on, I cannot get warm. If I was a little fluffy animal, I would definitely be in hibernation by now... Roll on spring.

I know what you mean about not being able to get warm. Unfortunately one of my sons is always too warm so have to keep the heating down a bit

I know what you mean about having chapped hands. I suffer from the same thing with having to wash my hands permanently at work. All the backs get cracked, and the finger joints ouch!!!!!
I suppose the only good thing about my job in winter is, it's always warm in nursing homes hehehe!!! beats a factory any day in winter. Only my skin always suffers in winter, with walking in the cold to get to work, then roasting while i'm working, my skin doesn't know if it's coming or going and i usually end up with spots.
