Day 1 of 5 days off work.

Today is going to make progress in doing house things (lots of prep done last night, so go me). I've shopping to do for fun things and I might, maybe, go out for dinner. Local pub restaurant does bao buns. I fucking love bao buns.

Day 1 -5 off work. Got rid of some old furniture and took delivery of some new stuff.

Photos say it all really.

Day 2 of 5 off work. Still had to get up at my usual time to make sure the son is up. He's still not getting out of bed. Starting the day off on the wrong foot here.

Can't decide what to do with the morning, but this evening I'm going to Bowling For Soup gig with a pal.

Day 2 of 5 off work. Made ramen. Walked dogs. Had more icecream. Going to a gig.

Day 3 of 5 off work.

Slept well, which is weird cos I went to bed hungry and with a sore knee was I was expecting a bad night. Up at usual time to make sure son was up.

New shoes have just been delivered.

Unsure what the rest of the day is. Might just chill instead of going out for lunch/dinner.

Day 3 of 5 off work.

Moved the second to last piece of furniture. One more to go then new desk building. I should be finished before I need to log on Monday AM...

Didnt do anything else today. Debated going out for dinner and or drinks but no one wanted to put proper outside clothes on.

I suggested ice-cream and Jamie wants a Mr Whippy so we might venture out but then it's bedtime.

Day 4 of 5 off work. Yes I'm counting the weekend cos I often work Saturdays. In fact I'm supposed to be working but swapped with someone for last week to help them out. Worked out better for me!

No photos from yesterday. Dinner was a takeaway burger and yes, I had another ice-cream slider because the miserable rain put us off getting Mr Whippy.

Today is laundry day and being ruthless throwing unneeded crap out. I struggle with this bit #Hoarder. Should also take shoes to the chazza.

Day 4 of 5 off work. The new desk is BUILT. With a monitor and keyboard and everything already on it.

Theres a huge box full of polystyrene lying in the middle of the floor now. And I have yet to hoover. But I just ate too much Chinese and I might boke if I tried to fix it now.

Just me and the dogs at home tonight, and there's a bottle of bubbles in the fridge, but right now I'm too full up to consider it.

Day 5 of 5 off work. Knee is properly wrecked now. Did too much yesterday with desk building and other stuff. Plans don't exist today, I'm probably not going to leave the house if I can help it.

Slept reasonably, though it was 2.30am before we went to sleep after watching R.I.P.D (I love Jeff Bridges).

Will I be rested going back to work tomorrow? Probably not.

Was it a good idea taking 5 days off? No, cos now I don't want to continue working 5-6 days every week. Work/Life balance is wrong

Day 5 of 5 off work. There's no ice-cream left, it was given to Jamie's niece. Definitely getting Mr Whippy tonight.

Just bought a car. NBD.

For context, I can't drive yet. But this was a bargain and I had the money and Jamie's closer to getting his licence than I am so I just bought it.

Messaged the man about it at 1.09, by 1.44 the keys were mine and I had already taken a selfie in it.

@intheseheels That was impulsive! Do you have to leave it at the seller's until one of you passes your test?
@intheseheels Maybe we'll get that brunch in The Dairy some time!
