Dave now looks after Dan and Jemima on Fridays. So today was my first DAY OFF. Can you even imagine what one of those is like?!
I did a bit of Bible study this morning and then sauntered in to town. Well, stumbled really, because it turns out I've forgotten how to walk without a pushchair.
There's a new coffee shop in Leyland. This means I no-longer have to resort to Tescos if I want to meet a friend. The outside of the shop is awful. Seriously, the design is horrendous. Early 90's at best. BUT, the staff were lovely, the seat was comfy, the coffee was good and I even got a free drink because the girl serving me was trying to perfect her latte skills! Oh, and they have wifi.
Then, after trawling the charity shops I found lots of nice clothes in the hospice shop and so feel moderately less grumpy about being a couple of stone heavier than I'd like to be!
Nicest of all was the chance to think, read, write and chill... And then come home and see my lovely family feeling energised and encouraged.
Dave is my hero! He's so lovely to me and often knows just what little gift or kind words will really make me feel brilliant. I'm stumped though, I just can't think of good ways to reciprocate. So share! What ideas, (apart from the obvious, ahem!!), do you have for encouraging your partner? Any suggestions from the tiny and practical to the lavish and expensive would be gratefully received!
