Morning of pumpkins!

 Evening

I couldnt sleep last night. Like was not tired.....I couldnt sleep during the day ether but at night when I am usually shattered, I just couldnt sleep like I could still function. I got up and took pain killers to knock me out and stayed up til 1am. 

I woke up at 8:50am >< we normally leave the house for 9:25am for shopping! So we had a bit of a mad dash morning + having Oz inside due to rain

we got to the shops and on the way in they had ghost pumpkins!! I have never found them before, or if I have been lucky to come across them, they are usually expensive due to them being white or 'ghost' but only £2 so I said to Jack, "Im having it!!" walking 10metres in the shop they sold mini pumpkins that fit in your palm - so cute and small! for 50pm so I got one of those too. As we went round the shop we passed the seasonal isle - halloween currently. And something caught my eye.....a big pumpkin

"Jack I am just checking something out"

it was this massive pumpkin, like how big can I say?

*get out measuring tape for my diary's sake*

its 178cm diameter and 50cm height...mother of god....its a beast

it also lights up. I said to Jack "I would LOVE this for the garden, as an ornament"

I have been keeping my eyes out for garden ornaments but theyre soooo expensive as theyre usually metal or stone you know. But this is plastic. and was £15

he said "you can have it"

"but its like £15"

and thats cheap for a garden ornament, however this isnt a garden ornament

as it has a LED inside, it lights up! 

so we said, we would buy it, have it indoors until halloween - display it in the window for halloween, then take out the electrics and have it outside in the garden.

It took up half the trolley XD I was so happy honestly. My love of pumpkins is deep. and seeing AND having one this big made me very happy

we got home and unpacked, had a brew and such, did the soup and cooked my meat for the week

Jack has asked me to have a smaller meat portion in the morning but have a piece of fruit loaf along side it so I am having some carbs in the morning to help me keep going. I start this tomorrow

After lunch I had a bit of a rest in bed but couldnt really sleep

we went for a walk as we had an announcement txt that Jack's family was coming over at 4pm

the walk was small but I found it difficult my body was shaking and weak. Whats up with me!? its very frustrating. Think it is just exhausted from school. I got back and had a bath. As the hair pack I put in my hair last night hadnt really rinsed out properly so my hair looked awful and I was pale. I was hoping after a bath id look better!

Jack had a bath then later his mum, step dad and oldest sister came. Leaving his youngest sister home she was in a mood apparently XD but it was nice and they brought home made cup cakes for his sisters birthday on thursday they were so well decorated! they stayed from 4 - 6

when they left I did dinner, we had Oz in during dinner which was nice

I have since had him out again and put him to bed, Jack is gaming with Harvey and Theo again, he does ask each time if he can and I think he may as well really. We are still gonna have hot chocolate and anime after wards.

I did some drawing any way as I said I would do his oldest sister an 18th birthday card.

tomorrow 

9am Mia is coming over to do a dog walk with me

got nothing else planned apart from that. I hope I sleep tonight so I have energy
