Its 3.30pm and I'm not curled up in bed, I'm tired and my head hurts but its not bad enough to send me running to the duvet ... yet. I see this as a positive thing, I hate being completely useless for a few hours every afternoon.

I didn't get to go swimming on tuesday morning as planned, my benefit money was late because they finally paid it into the right bank account (took them 4 months to get it right) so I had no reason (and no money) to leave the house. Thankfully it appeared in my Halifax account late wednesday morning but Anthony decided he'd like to visit the pool too so we went for a splash/swim last night. I paced myself a bit better this time and didn't kill the muscles in my arm. They had the wave machine on for a little bit which was fun and it wasn't too crowded.

I did pop into town this morning, Anthony wanted a Wii game holder and I had to pick up Sean's birthday present (his b-day is the day after mine). Of course I popped into Asda on the way home and came out with something I wasn't planning on buying (its a really bad habit!) a pair of shorts. They are the same style as my combat pants and should be perfect for paddling in the sea over at Barry Island. I can't remember the last time I actually wore shorts, its very rare for my legs to see sunshine as I'm normally in jeans, trousers or a long skirt.

Anthony is thinking of taking some time off from work next month so we can have a little holiday at the Gower. Tanis gets a holiday too, his spare hutch is over at Mum's so we'll be packing a little suitcase for him to stay there for a few days. I'm a little funny about who gets to look after my furry baby but I know Mum and George will take very good care of him.

As I ordered some stamps from the Royal Mail online shop their new releases booklet showed up this morning. The Harry Potter set does look really nice so I might treat myself to this. I don't usually bother with First Day Covers but I'll make an exception for these :)

Geez, its taken me 40 minutes to type this! I am sooooo slow these days.
