Pigpen I am wearing big fluffy welly socks pulled up over my skinny jeans - and slippers. I look like a slightly demented bag lady. I did have wellies on earlier I promise.

Soaking my gel nails off on one hand so typing is slow. What have I done today? All I know is that I have been doing something.

Looking forward to some good news from CY.

Special supporting hugs to CY and family who have been in my thoughts today

Hope all are well

CY said it might be a day or 2 before she could return.

I don't have skinny jeans but I wear fluffy bedsocks all the time, sometimes rolled down under my leggings so I have huuuge cankles! That's a normal look in here! haha..

LW your visitors are just gorgeous - and I'm sending you (((hugs))) too.

Pigpen bet you look stunning!

Bossy how's your poor mouth now?


Fab lesson at Agility; Whiz did me proud - 7 jumps and through the tunnel with only 1 mistake. Love him. Just washed up and cleaned the kitchen sink and Z is now upstairs getting ready for Scouts (ie putting on make up *sigh*). Teenagers eh.

Ah well done Whiz!

I actually felt heaps better after I sipped half a cup of tea - what is it about tea that can do that?

Mum rang and offered to come round for the school run, but we had to go out for football anyway (she'd never find it) so I said I'd just pull my socks up and crack on. Glad I did, felt better for the walk, and not dwelling on it.

Also managed a cupasoup and some birthday cake, minus the icing and I'm having some banana now. So I'd say it's about where it should be. Going to take the painkillers for a couple of days though, and I need to start the salt water rinse after 24hrs.

So I think tomorrow I need to get my cleaning hat on and try catch up. Am also going to do some flinging.

Early night for me I think.

Hope CY's surgery was a success and she's well enough to update us soon xx

Have not had a good day today - only managed to get a couple of loads of washing done from the list. I did do a big clear out of the garage though so that's something good.

I'm off on a girls weekend now so leaving DH in charge of the house and kids. I hope they will be alright

This time of year I'm practically living in a dark pink furry onesie that I got in Sa1nsbury last year for a fiver. Would be cute if I was 50 yrs younger.........I do change when I see students and go to uni though; we don't have a staff dress code, but I think it would raise a few eyebrows.....
