That the Apple Watch knows even I’m dreaming is absolutely bonkers to me. Unfortunately the last dream just before I woke up was a nightmare so I still haven’t recovered 🙃

Painted my nails all blue sparkly though far from professional but who doesn’t need a bit of colour to improve their mood in January?

Slept so badly, only consolation is I’m not working today but motivation is so low for the weeks ahead

Quite emotional at the end of the new Channel 4 David Bowie documentary. Such an incredible artist and human being. Still feel his loss in the world.

I’m now watching random videos on YouTube. We’ve done New Order, Cocteau Twins and REM and now Steve has just introduced me to Killing Joke with the song ‘Eighties’. They were an influence on Nirvana and you can hear the same notes in ‘Come As You Are’. Really cool!

Tonight’s film is When Harry Met Sally, not only a feelgood film but in tribute to Rob Reiner ❤️

Going to have a quiet NYE with some wine and a film. What am I saying, that’s every NYE since I was about 25 😊 Happy New Year when it comes everyone! 🥳

On the downside it took me a while to get to sleep and I woke up a lot; on the upside in my dream I confessed my crush to Paul Rudd which resulted in some kissing*

A half hour walk followed by a late lunch, and this time I didn’t burn the Yorkshires!

I braved Sainsbury’s at 10am, it was fine. The downside was I spent nearly £50 🙃

I don’t have anything for the Christmas Day meal yet and I keep going to bed late so once again I’m not up early to go to the supermarket. But as all the shopping falls to me I feel slightly rebellious like I don’t care. I’ll feel less rebellious and more stupid when I’m stuck in a queue later 🙃

Honestly, I’m surprised Walliams wasn’t dropped sooner. Most of us have known he was a wrong ‘un for years. I’ve always refused to buy his books, and not just because they’re rip-off versions of Roald Dahl. Are bookshops and supermarkets going to stop selling his books now?

Made the mistake of going out to the library and supermarket before lunch, thinking it would be a quick trip, only to find the world had gone mad with queues in every shop, and a two-vehicle smash on the way out with both cars a write-off. Take care out there, people!

You know what my perfect Christmas would be?
Going away, maybe to Paris (where I haven’t been since 2012, or anywhere outside the UK, where I haven’t been since 2017) with Steve. And only Steve.

Look what finally dropped through the post … lush alternative Doctor Who annual! I never actually had one as a kid (closest I got was Worzel Gummidge) – bought this for the whole family to enjoy 😊

Ok so I don’t want to be *that person* but I went in Sainsbury’s and goats milk has gone up 15p to TWO POUNDS THIRTY. And my boys drink a LOT of goats milk. It’s the same in Tesco or Morrisons. So goats milk is a luxury. And my wages ever diminish. It’s hard not to get depressed 😔
