So last week , i have had some holiday from work (not that i have gone anywhere) but it is always nice to have some time off and recharge. So this week has literally been watching films/ catching up on TV programmes that i have recorded but not yet had chance to watch.


So this week i have been able to watch Goodnight Mr Tom. An absolute classic set in World War 2 where refugees from London are sent to the country where air raids are least likely to happen. It tells the tale of a old man who comes across as grumpy and bitter towards anyone. When the boy arrives he isn't all to happy that the boy has been placed with him but eventually warms to the boy. Mr Tom finally realises he cares for the boy, when William is asked to go back to London as his mother was ill. Weeks past and not even a letter to Mr Tom on how things are and grows really concerned of Williams welfare, so he plucks up the courage to track the young lad down by travelling to London, only to find something that shocks him to his very core. Luckily William goes back with Mr Tom to his home where he receives love and care for the rest of his life.

I find this film to be very moving. How an old man opens up his home to a young refugee that needs shelter from the air raids that was happening in London at the time and how he eventually opens up his heart also and he admits that he loves the boy and would very much like William to live with him from then on.

So this week i was going to sort out my cupboards and throw anyway all the stuff i no longer need as it is just clutter and taking up room which i need for other things. But i never got round to it and now i have to find another time to do it, hopefully before Christmas i will get round to it.
Today 14/12/18 i managed to get all my Christmas shopping done in less than 2 hrs, which is an absolute record for me. Luckily i have wrote everything down of what and where i will be getting them. Made my life alot easier, as i suffer from anxiety i find shopping in town especially this time of year very stressful and it triggers my anxiety. But i survived. Well I'm off to wrap up these presents and get them ready for delivery/Christmas day.
