Hello lovely peeps,
I am one very tired girlie and so in need of my holiday. I only have two long shifts to work and then I have 8 lovely days off & as much as I love my job I cannot wait to have a break. I realised the other day that except for the few weeks compassionate leave to look after hubby after his stroke that I haven't actually had proper holiday leave since last October & I don't even care what the weather is like I just want some time to chill out, play in my craft room & catch up with friends & family.
