    good morning

    I have had an eventful one :)

    little Tia is in hospital (suspected meningitis) and i got up early to go and help her dad get alex ready for him to go up nans, the dog jumped the wall and went next door, so had to go and get him, then i went out the back to cover up the hole he got through and the back door hit the bathroom door that was put against the wall to stop the animals going in there, the door fell, hitting the dishes out of my dishwasher, and jammed the back door closed so i could not get back into the house, ( (my lane door is so old i cannot open it or it will fall apart) next doors hubby had gone to work, so i was stuck outside for half an hour till lisa next door got up and came and resued me lol.

    1st load of washing is on the line, second load is in the machine :) gonna strip the beds today as the weather is lovely. and crack on with sorting beads and jewellery.

    made £3.68 on ebay yesterday too, just relisted the stuff that didn't sell, and hopefully get some new stuff on later

  • It's not as if it was 6am Kayleigh!!!
    We live on a farm and the farmer is often out with his tractor in the field right next to our bedroom at 6am,and in peak season is still using it gone 11pm....and don't even get me started on the bird scarers that fire shotgun cartridges every 15mins or so right outside the window....
    Beanie-did you find your phone yet?

    I know, it could've been worse. It's just that my alarm had gone off and I remembered it was a weekend and I could sleep in. Five mins later, he starts doing the grass. Oh well, I'll just have to have a lie in tomorrow instead.

    Beanie - pm me your addy, I have batteries to send you.

    Typically, my youngest cat's gone missing now - he was on my bed at 6am, hasn't come in for breakfast or lunch which is very unlike him....

    Had a lovely walk along the beach, stopped for a picnic but DH wasn't in a good way so we're back home.

    Yeah, tried that, he's so timid around other people that he rarely strays far, he's probably had a fight and is off sulking...I'll give it until early evening and then I'll get DD's to go door knocking and check sheds..
