Oh my goodness what a sleepy head I was yesterday!!!
We had to get up early (very early) as we were taking my mum & dad to the airport as they were flitting away for the week to a sunny island, and so we had to get up at 4.50am ~ eek! (I don't actually drive so James has to do the driving but of course I have to show support and go along too!)

So ok that time of the morning is bad enough to be waking up isn't it, so why my body decided to wake up at 1.15am after just under 2 hours sleep I have no idea!?!? I managed to get about another 30 mins before the alarm went off, so I had about 2 and a half hours sleep, which didn't bother me at the time really but once we had dropped them off and said our goodbyes and took the 45 minute drive back home I was getting quite sleepy, but could I go back to bed ~ well no of course not because I had a hair appointment to go to at 9.30am! So after that I quickly got a bit of work done and packed up some orders and then we were just about to get some more sleep when a friend dropped by ...
Anyhoot I managed to squeeze a 2 hour nap in, seemingly that was all my weary body wanted! But for the rest of the day I felt absolutely dreadful, I mean just awful, I'm not as young as I used to be you know!

My lovely mummy had given us lots of pennies to treat ourselves with (for being lovely kind children & getting up at a ridiculous hour of course) and so later on we decided to head off to *Borders* to buy us some magazines!!!! I needed lovely home magazines with their delicious photos to cheer me up!
So after popping in and seeing another friend and having a cuppa and a biccie (oh did I mention how many biscuits I had yesterday ~ well really I'm not going to because it is just embarrasing, I needed the sugar badly!!!!) we headed off to a nearby retail park for a spot of late night shopping!

Laura Ashley & M&S shopping and a host of other shops and then off to find me some magazines! I love this Borders as they get all the imports from the US too, so loads of lovelies to choose from including the lovely *Martha Stweart Living*, although I do find the US mags to be full of ads ~ does anyone else? Anyhoo, I just decided to get the lovely *Period Living*, and then off I went to explore the books and I found this lovely book which of course I immediately wanted *The Martha Rules: 10 Essentials for Achieving Success as You Start, Build, or Manage a Business* anyhoot cutting a long story short I decided not to get it and get it from Waterstones as I had some vouchers for there but then got home and bought it on e-bay!!!

So with only my magazine in my hands, off I went to the counter where I found the lovely *Joanne Harris* (who I just love) with a lovely big half price sticker on it! Yay!!! So I grabbed it quickly as the shop assistant was shouting 'who's next'. *The Lollypop Shoes* is the sequal to *Chocolat* which I just love as a book and a film. Just lovely! I can't wait to read it and see what happens next! *Squeal*

So at the end of a very very sleepy day I managed to crawl into bed with my well deserved treats and snuggle down at last!
