Not a great day emotionally wise today, I’ve been very worried about my mum’s leg (she has ulcers and twice weekly dressings at the surgery but it’s a slow process given her age, frailty and diabetes) I was very tearful at work, though I’m lucky to have very supportive colleagues who were very kind yesterday, so the chocolate came out last night, but I only had 4 squares!! Before sw I would probably have had 9 or 10 !!

Here’s hoping that Tuesday will be better on all fronts !!
