Hi everyone,
Thanks for good guidance, I have made a focussed effort to include energy giving activities
Thursday - Morning lie in and/or completing home-work catch up and/or my side project. Lunch in London with a friend, followed by haircut and evening in London with hubby. I didn't go to London because I fell down the stairs the day before (can't remember if I confessed up to that ) and bruised my foot. It was a good day though, I found out I had been nominated for an industry prize. Spent time on LinkedIn etc. which was needed
Friday - Currently planning a DIY day although I'm not that enthusiastic. This day wasn't such a good one, the new car we bought last week has given us problems, because the dealer took things away that they shouldn't have (spare wheel for example) and was quite frankly bl**dy rude. A "straw/back/camel" email that morning put my husband in a right state. No DIY happened, took him out for lunch and got an email back from someone senior apologising, saying the spare wheel would be there the next day
Saturday - Such a cool plan here, have booked one night in our old university town (student accommodation !!!) where the OH and I first met. Planning to visit the village and pubs where we used to date. Got in the car - minus spare wheel - and drove down to the campus, and thoroughly enjoyed revisiting memories, and sharing a bottle of wine in the student kitchen. Which is much newer and nicer than my kitchen @ home
Sunday - Go to seaside, again revisit old haunts. Possible pub quiz in the evening. Oh what a lovely day, seaside towns, bacon sandwich and a perfect pebbly beach. Decided not to do the pub quiz and went for a G&T in another pub instead. A "classic" holiday day, marred by the ongoing car dramas. Turns out they had removed a safety-related kit as well. Decided I needed another couple of days off, contemplated emailing the boss
Monday - As yet unplanned, either DIY or beer and/or food festivals which are happening in our town or nearby. Car emails distracted my husband, but on the positive side my boss said I could have time off (that's my holiday allowance gone to end of the year!) which was a bonus. Husband surprised me with a picnic in the garden, which was lovely, and bought me magazines too
Tuesday (aka bonus holiday day #1) - have lounged in garden, read books and watched Gossip Girl. And worked on the script for a podcast, plus a Skype call. Hubby is out in the evening (just fitting his new spare tyre in the boot right now)
Wednesday (aka bonus holiday day #2) - tomorrow, plan to catch up with all my mentee actions (i.e. actions on me ) and clean up all the online profile. Might go out to the cinema in the afternoon, after a "lady that lunches" in the nearby town.
I feel like I have finally got my house in order and ready to go back to work on Thursday, for a two day week. Next week will be the real test !

P.S. I think I might even have a mild suntan from my staycation !
