    Gosh your diary grows so quickly it is difficult to keep up - :) Don't stop though as I enjoy it. x

    Sorry your pain is still so bad ((((hugs)))) and if you are sleeping in random places that is better than not sleeping at all. Your body clearly needs it.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for a nice sunny weekend for you and for success with results from today's letter writing.

    Talk soon. I'll bring wine next time.

    Another busily manic day in the PG household. Sorry your back is playing you up so badly, I just hope it can be sorted out sooner rather than later.

    Hopefully the weather will improve for your camping trip. It's raining here at the moment, hardly unusual. With this much rain you'd have thought at least the slugs would drown.

    We have drowned slugs, I found them floating in the "cat that shall not be named" drinks mug ! He was not amused ! By the way our cat wont drink from traditional cat bowl or plate, he has to have a china mug with a handle and pretty pattern ! Thoroughly spoilt !

    Succesfull day yesterday, letter writing as you know was in full swing !

    DD2 was fab at District Sports, one bronze medal and one Gold !! Another Proud Mummy moment and very embarassing shouting and cheering coming from the stands from me as she ran ! I never realised how highly pitched I screeched until I proudly played back the sorry excuse for a video last night ! Other than the fact I appear to have missed the majority of the race, filming the floor, sky and random peoples kids rather than my daughter, due to the excitment , Mr Pinot and DD1 watched the entire video with their fingers shoved in their ears !!Apparently though DD2 could hear me above the crowds, so that pleased me, although possibly embarrassed her a tad ! :D:rotfl:

    Ended up a long day, by thetime we returned home and dropped a few people off, got DD2 sorted for School play rehearsals, zipped off to dance classes with DD1, popped in to see mum and dad, I finally made it home at about9.30. Mr Pinto for once actually beat me to it.

    He was asight to behold having been soaked to the skin cycling home from the station in the torrential rain. Thankfully though he was wearing jeans on this occasion, as I am concerned the mankini may have become see through aftert he amount of rain we have had !

    Mr Pinot is finally having a well deserved lie in at th emoment then we need to make a decision on the camping trip. I didnt sleep again last ngith and with the rain am wondering i the field may be slightly waterlogged. I will get Mr Pinot to make a call and find out later and check on the weather forecast !

    Sold a couple more bits on ebay last night and the Wedgewood China received another bid. I am sure I have made a mistake on the price I put it on at with this one, but you live and learn I suppose !

    So today, we have a couple of leads business wise to follow up which hopefully could lead to something interesting. Work dries up come mid September so we are trying to secure something after that date and have had a few potentially interesting calls. The Letter to Company who wont pay since 2010, should now have been tweaked, corrected and triple triple checked and ready to go out by the end of today or Monday moning so we will sit back and wait for the backlash with that one.Mr Pinot tells me his plan for the day is to plaster the Mr Pinot sized holes in the walls that were made back in May now , so that would be nice if he had a chance to do that !! :D

    So thats by day so far, how are you all ?? xxx
