    School wasn’t great but I had a great first Italian class, which from now on I will be learning. It’s such a beautiful language and I really like it, almost as much as i like French :)

    I have litetally just spent hours de cluttering my room and wardrobe and now have bags of clothes for the charity shop that i never wear. 

    And i still had a load of college papers that i was kinda reading through. And though i thought i hated college. I kind of miss the stress and having a life. Even it was stressful. So  maybe weird but it kinda have given me motivation to sort my life as well as my drawers lol. 
    So have applied for a DBS check now. I just need to print of a peice of paper and give to the post office. Hopefully will come back okay cause have been involved with police a few times :/

    Been learning to touch type recently. Its been hard as i struggle with memory. Today I re-took one of my units tests for touch typing and got 100% last time i got 76%. Done 5 activities today getting above 95% which i am so happy about. 
    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    Next being half-term we've taken in another family of 6: Mum and Dad, their 2 teenage daughters and 2 teenage sons to stay with us up in Port de Sóller. They are relatives of  couple who are already staying at our hotel in Can Picafort/Muro, so the more the merrier plus 2 dogs! :joy:  Since our villa is not registered as commercial, the family of 6 are offering to contribute towards their food etc. That was very nice of them since I was going to ask. Frankly, we'd sooner have a whole bunch of family enjoying themselves instead of half of them staying at home. Also means more folk to enjoy bbq with us.

    We'll then have 4 families staying with us, including the Spanish family whose home was wrecked in last week's storms and also the British couple and their daughter we took in. It's not going to be too inconvenient since a car hire company we know have offered the extra family a very nice Land Rover. It's the people we know that count in the hospitality trade. We help them out and they help us. Altogether, that's good for everyone. =)

    On my own tonight and usually use that as an excuse not to eat and to harm myself, but not tonight. Having a Chinese and watching some Netflix, then going to use my lush bath bomb cause I have a bath! (Don't have one at home so always request one in a hotel ) 😂 mood is okay for once which is unusual so just going to roll with it 😊
