I have wanted one since Xmas.

Yesterday I finally got a refund cheque from my gas supplier and I am due a hefty cheque from my Co-Op dividend card.

Today, in a moment of weakness, I called and I am off to collect a WII console at 3pm.

I just could not help myself.

I eventually want to get the WII Fit package.

I am, at this present time, beyond saving.

Looks like sun lounger and voddy during the day and WII at night.

I do have to add that I am actually only spending £40 in real money as my refund cheque covered the rest, hence my justification to buy it!!!!

The Co-Op payment will be here in June and that will pay for my WII for add on thing.

I feel very excited..... and I have seen 4 games that I like!!!!

Oh, this is so glorious in the sun.

Whilst I am stuck in an office, I know that it is sunny outside and that makes me feel good and positive.

On the way in this morning, I went mad and stopped at Homebase and got a cheap sun bed thing.

It is one of those 3 way folding ones. You know the one that if you get the balance all wrong, you land up well and truly tipped!!!!!

It had £6 off in the pre-summer sale, so I bought it. the fact that it is aqua blue, my joint favourite colour, had no bearing on my decision at all!!!

I hope that this weather lasts till Saturday so that I can sit out in my very small back garden with a voddy whilst listening to my ipod.

I also fancy doing loads of garden stuff, but I have run out of special garden refuse sacks and I have now been given my full quota for this year.

Madness, but I can buy a roll of the special bags direct from the council for 33, so I will do that!!!

Oh, I got my van back and it was not anything major or serious so I am happy about that too!!!

In this sun, well, I just do not think that I could have the hump even if I wanted too.

Yesterday I was awoken by the beautiful sunshine coming through my window.

I got up and was wondering what I was going to get up too.

As I pottered about in the bathroom, I heard the tree outside tapping on the window.

In a split moment of madness, I decided to cut the tree down.

I had a saw and how hard could it be???

Well, the first thing that shocked me was the fact that the tree was a lot bigger than it looked.

It shocked me how many branches and leaves and dead fruit there was.

It shocked me how much my shoulders and armed hurt after sawing, and sawing and sawing……

It has made a huge difference and I had loads of sunshine right through until about 3pm yesterday.

It shone on my washing line and it was glorious to have lovely fresh dried washing.

It was worth all the pain and has now set me off on a garden mission…….

The sun certainly makes you feel good and positive eh?!!!

So did you have a lovely weekend?

I feel very at peace.

I feel very content.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I feel excited about a 3 day weekend and having my best mates over for dinner on Saturday.

I feel excited that the sun may shine.

I just feel good in all respects.

As I did not stay sober enough to take any photos at the weeknd, I have managed to find on that someone else took with me in it!!!!

I was a bit squiffy at this point, but I like it!!!

Here is one without me that I feel captures the escemce of the weekend.....

Well, I have to tell you that I did have the most amazing weekend away.

It was so good to actually be away from the flat, away from the boys and away from everything!!!!

I spent a lot of time drinking voddy and just laughing and chilling out with mates, both old and new.

It has really livened me up and gave me the break that I needed.

Some of the weekend is already a distant blur, but a really good haze!!!!

The boys were pretty good for the lady upstairs and they looked a bit thinner but happy to see me!

I had an embarrassing moment when the van conked out as I was approaching the tolls, and they had to close the Dartford tolls for 5 minutes to allow me to be towed through.

The van is now on the side of the road waiting for the mechanic to come out next Tuesday.

I am not worried as I do not think it is too serious.

I cannot tell you how good it felt to be away, and now I have a cunning plan to try and get away again in June!
