Nothing exciting going on here. I’ve DD2’s dog staying all week, so daily afternoon exercise is on the cards. I have a long list of ‘plans’. I don’t want to rush things as some will be expensive, but must be done, or in hand before Spring.
Physically and mentally, I feel fine (for my age).

I'm feeling fine, thank you.

It's certainly very gloomy outside but I don't let the weather affect my mood - obviously prefer it to be a bit dryer and brighter! sunshine

I'm not doing anything particularly nice - been up since 05.45 and done quite a few chores and later will have a quick trot around Waitrose and then do some batch cooking, so nice I suppose, but nothing exciting!

I am cancelling my gym membership, been paying for months, keep making excuses, stay with it mum my family say, you will love it once you get into it! Good words but I loathe the place, I only use it to swim, have to be there by eight, otherwise it’s packed out, traffic is hideous that time of day, so that’s it! I walk my dog over the woods for at least hour and half every day so am quite active. I feel so much happier now I’ve made the decision😀

Today is apparently the most depressing day of the year.

I have quite a nice day planned, we are having work done on the top floor of our house so I’m looking forward to choosing paint colours and new accessories.
We are also having a TV put in our living room, we have resisted but an open fire in there means we can spend cosy evenings in front of a TV instead of shivering in our not so snug snug!
Our fuel bills are astronomical and we have to address this.

How are you feeling on “Blue Monday” are you doing something nice?
