This past week has been full of ups and downs, mostly downs but I am not going to dwell on those. I am taking the positives from my week and writing about them. These are my favourites from the week and I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share them.
For the most part of the week I have been laid in bed by half past ten which is really early for me. Of course I haven't gone to sleep straight away, I've had to have a scroll on my phone but most nights I have been going to sleep by about 11pm.
ChatGPT for writing emails!
I have made good use of ChatGPT this week and it helped me out writing some emails. I couldn't really write an email saying you have let my family down, the rules you have are stupid and it all sucks! ChatGPT was much more eloquent. I got a decent result as how a situation has been handled is now being looked into instead of just filed away!
Feeling better than I was!
Most of my downs this week included me not feeling great. I think I have had a small dose of tonsillitis, plus hay fever and period pains! I know it's TMI but I have been feeling sorry for myself and probably could have coped OK with just one thing but all three at once and other things that we've had going on has knocked me for six! I feel like I am over the worst now. Phew!
A refund!
I bought a hosepipe in March, it was greatly reduced in price and seemed too good to be true. It turns out it was too good to be true, the store I bought it from (The Range) said it comes from a different supplier and kept fobbing me off saying it will be coming soon, it never arrived so after a month of asking for a refund I finally got my money back and after all that I managed to fix our old hosepipe so didn't need a new one after all.
Costa treats!
Becky was my hero on Tuesday and treated me to a nice icy drink and a cake from Costa. The Mango & Passion Fruit Cooler. She even got them delivered, it worked out cheaper than getting the bus to and from town. hehehe
Ice cream and lollies!
As a child my dad would always give my brother and I ice cream and ice lollies when we had sore throats and I have carried on following his lead and I have eaten so many over this past week. They have helped ease my sore throat!
Support from family and friends!
My family and I have a great support system around us, we've needed it over the last year and they rallied again when we got some news over the past week. Not totally bad news but unexpected news which I wasn't mentally prepared for.
Making plans for the weekend!
After a rough week we feel like we need to treat ourselves and we're going to do just that over the weekend. Stu and Becky are off work so we're all home which will be nice. There's the FA Cup final tomorrow, Stu and I have some plans and The Eurovision Song Contest on TV which we always watch. Now I just have to come up with something to do on Sunday which we all agree on!
What have you loved over the past week?
I'm sorry it was such a rough week, but good for you for taking care of yourself by getting some rest. Continue to feel better and enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry about the downs. Gosh darn. But I hope you’re feeling better and can enjoy a sweet weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your week has not been great. But it's good that you're focusing on the positive. Sending hugs from the other side of the pond! I hope you feel better soon and that you have a great weekend :).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better! I like cold things on my throat when it's sore too. Having a good support system is so important and I'm glad to hear they rally around you when you need it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it was a tough week, but I'm glad you had some support to get through it. I miss Costa coffee! Hope you have a relaxing (and fun) weekend.
