Debt free in ten years-my new, more realistic challenge.

And see if I can persuade DS1 to mop the kitchen floor when he gets in from work. Ribs/muscle sprain is still very painful.

I hope you're feeling better soon, doesn't sound nice. Have you seen the dr? How long does it take to go? xx :A

I saw the doctor a couple of days ago. He said about 3 weeks or more to get better I am okay really, just really annoying as I feel quite fired up to get on with things and then can't manage. I am already taking strong painkillers so can't do much more

DS1 has vacuumed the whole of the ground floor which makes such a difference when we have two moulting dogs!! I was doing it every morning and it is a good few days since I last tried.

DD decided to go out after all today. We went to a pool about 20m miles away where I managed to do some leg exercises but was unable to swim. Believe me I tried

Then we found a cheap stationery shop where we bought some bits for toddler goodie bags at DN's wedding on 7th. There are five under 4s so I bought 5 board books and 5 puzzles for just under £12.

Some of the puzzles have carry handles which I know the little ones will like more than the puzzle DN already has bubbles and crayons and colouring books.

DS2 still hasn't found anywhere to live and has to be out of his current house by 10.30am tomorrow :eek: Half of his stuff is now in our hall. Mr P doesn't yet know he will need to leave here at 8.30 tomorrow morning to go and get DS2 and the rest of his 'stuff'. DS2 has taken a few days off work without pay so he can search for a room to rent.

DS1 and I are making a fish pie. He is doing all the heavy mixing, mashing etc. Mr P is still at work finishing off a job he and his mate agreed would be finished for the weekend. Workmate is suitably chastened after missing a day and holding them up on the job.

Mr P has been paid immediately by the people he worked for this week so today I will post his cheque to the bank while he is out. He has already left to go and give DS2 a hand clearing the last things from the house.
We have a cottage changeover today. Mr P usually strips beds, empties bins and does the recycling and any maintenance which is required. DD cleans, vacuums, dusts and remakes the beds. I look after the kitchen. Tpday DD doesn't have Mr P to help and she also has DGD today as DSIL has another engagement!!!

As I am not going to be particularly helpful we have decided I will wipe over kitchen while DGD empties the cupboards and the dvds and books off the shelves! We have worked with her before.:D I will give her lunch and then take her home for a nap DD will probably manage a lot better without me and DGD getting in the way.

I made a batch of biscuits last night with DS1 so they are ready for the cottage guests arrival.

I am hoping today will be a NSD. We have just enough food to last until tomorrow when DS1 is taking me to 4ldi

You are all very busy bees

Poohbear I've just finished reading your diary and wow what a rollercoaster ride you have been on.

Pleased that the holiday cottage has really taken off for you, I think I have worked out where abouts you are and its a very beautiful part of the country.

I've subscribed and will keep popping back to see how your getting on.

Take care and good luck with shifting the debt.

I think I might be getting a black eye :eek: DGD hit me in the eye with a metal colander. I gave it to her to play with so my own fault It is rather red right on the outside edge of my eye. Mr P says I need to be spray tanned the same colour as the injury and no one will notice. :rotfl::rotfl:

And me trying to look lovely for a wedding on Saturday

Mr P says she has emptied my handbag, been reading the Viz annual and then injured her Grandmother. At only 14 months :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The colander was in a box on the floor as it is from DS2's house. I moved everything that looked sharp/dangerous for a 1yr old. The colander seemed quite safe to me

PWPS thanks for reading my diary. We do live in a very beautiful area and need to remember so.
I sometimes say to my kids to stop and look as in the hurly burly of life it is easy to forget how lucky we are. We have the most amazing views from our house. A changing landscape.

My sister said to me that she had seen a sunset for the first time ever. She was full of awe......we need to take heed from that and take notice more.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Sorry to hear about your eye . Hope it doesn't develop too badly.

I think we are all guilty of not noticing our surroundings. We live right by the airport and driving along with an aeroplane taking off right above the car is par for the course. It always shocks me how excited visitors get when they experience it, as I hardly notice it anymore. I need to rediscover the awe!

Arnica is your friend.
Wee tablets are best.

Back to DA's today. I phoned yesterday and she said not to go but I am worried about her. DS2 has an appointment to look at a house later so he is driving me.

I bought a £3 wedding card from M and S on the way as she didn't want my cheap rubbish

I didn't read this until on my way so haven't got arnica with me and I never thought of it yesterday.
