<center>**HAPPY NEW WEEK**</center>

I managed to get up yesterday and go shopping with hubby and his mum,  I hadn't seen his mum in a while so  pushed myself, she was over the moon to see me sitting in the car.  We didn't do anything exciting, we went shopping then went to pick my daughter up from work but was a an hour early so we had a sandwich and Coffee at Greggs then spent the rest of the time looking around a charity shop, its amazing what you can find in those places. We then met my daughter, hubby dropped me and my daughter off at home with all the shopping whilst him and his mum went on to see hubbys Coral dealer. 

His Reef tank is looking really good,  just wish when I took photos you could see the different colours in the Corals, maybe its the light he uses on the tank.  Looking at the tank everything stands out but when I take a photo it has a Blue hue.

He bought the little garden that's at the front in the Center, Once its grown a bit more and opens up there's quite a few different colours, hopefully they will show up on camera. He's loving putting together this reef tank,  he's had one before and regrets selling it, he's determined to grow this one and is hinting he would like a bigger tank. 

Once we were all home shopping put away and his new coal garden put in place it was time to relax,  I was shattered.  I had full intentions when I was in bed I would write a post for her but once I was settled I fell asleep.  It was lovely falling asleep at a normal time but I couldn't do that everyday as was physically exhausted and in so much pain,  I did have a Codeine at bed time so that might have helped me sleep,  I only take them when I'm desperate as was weaned of them years ago as used to take them everyday but the Doctors wanted me off them because of how addictive they are. 

I woke up still in pain so took my meds then waited for the pain to numb down before I got up for breakfast then whilst the pills were doing there Job I folded a pile of clothes, that took me 20 minutes, by the time I was finished I was in tears with my back, its really starting to get on my nerves now I might have to have another talk with my Physiotherapist and hopefully they can give me something that will help. 

I lay back on my bed to straighten my back out and started to think about Christmas, these weeks are flying over,  Christmas next month and for the first time for a very long time I'm nowhere near ready, I still have gifts to buy but haven't a clue what people want. With it just being me and hubby for Christmas, its the first year we have had Christmas alone for 33 years its going to be a very very quiet day. I need to think of a few ideas we can do to make the day enjoyable,  I don't want to be just watching TV, I may have to find a few games to play.  Now hubby likes to play a game but is very competitive, over the top competitive so the games I'm going to have to get are the ones I know how to play and he hasnt a clue. Don't think I've ever won a game, he didn't like the girls winning when they were little, would make my day if I could win a few. I'm going to search Amazon for games and whilst I'm there I'll have a look at a few ideas for gifts.
