Evening girlies,

YL Huge congratulations to your son, I am delighted for him (and you) xxx

Day three of the summer holidays and the juggle is driving me round the bend already. Somehow I was coerced into working late tomorrow night, which will cause me no end of juggling and end up in 12 hour day, so someone else can stay at home with their child!! Such a busy day I didn't really get time to digest properly, so have just sent a terse Whatsapp now making it clear that cannot happen and I am leaving at normal time!!

Pouring with rain here but I am happy with that. I need to go and re-make DDs bed ahead of her coming home tomorrow, and consider doing some cleaning - this place is a tip. Hugs to all xx

Morning all


Have realised that the discomfort in my right arm is probably nothing to do with surgery/lymph nodes and everything to do with knitting.🤣 Still going to finish my jumper today, though.  

in bed with a coffee so i’m happy.

Hope you all have a good day

Hi all

Thank you so much for your lovely words about DS.  You have no idea how much it means.

Woke up yesterday feeling rubbish and feel worse today so have called in sick and having a duvet day.  Hoping it's just a short term bug.

I was doing well with flying up to yesterday so the house doesnt look too bad.  It is raining yet again though so washing is over the airer with the dehumidifier going.

Back to my book.  Well done for sticking up for yourself ASB x and hope your Dad is OK Kaz x

ASB .. good for you!!

TD on, 1  load on the heated airer as rain is imminent. DW on its first run.

I need to make space for a 5 piece pine bedroom set.. new to me, £50. Bargain!! I am going to see if it will fit in the alcove where there towel cupboard is.. but it might be too big.. I am off to shuffle furniture.

Valli

Hope you're feeling better, YL

Bargain Piggers!

ANNOUINCEMENT TIME - I HAVE COMPLETED TWO KNITTING PROJECTS.  Baby cardi now has buttons, reknitted jumper finished and sewn up.   So just two projects are on needles.  

Most of the washing is ironed and on the maiden too.  Sorted out knitting bag.

Long long day. 5am start, full day of paid stuff, 4 hour round trip to collect DD, then get DS from sports club. All animals desparately need cleaning out but I. AM. JUST. TOO. TIRED.

Evening!

I flew yesterday when I got in and did the kitchen. DH had kindly brought a huge true of blackcurrants for me so I spent the rest of the evening prepping them for jam.

Full day at work today and DD kindly cooked dinner but she leaves the kitchen looking like a war zone. Cleaned again and I am now making the jam which is exactly what I was doing on this day 7 years ago according to FB!

Adjusted  weekly payments for mortgage, water, utilities and trying to squueze an extra few quids out of the budget so we can afford to eat this month.. OH got about £300 less this month that is most of the food budget.. I had to find that last month too and the car is due MOT on 23rd.. but will have to be done early because we are on holiday. Lordy help us if it needs anything doing

So doctors have 2 GP's and a horrid rude woman to prescribe basic stuff for 10000 patients.. so I can't get an appointment. I took Pixie for her check this morning.. all is perfect.. and I look so unwell the nurse put the O2 monitor on me.. 95% standing still and 90% or less if I move or speak.. so she went to reception and demanded an appointment.. that is how you get an appointment. haha. I'veactually felt ok but I feel awful today but maybe lack of sleep as well, I eventualy managed to sleep for a couple of hours sitting upright in bed.

collected a couple of shirt for Squeak and dropped off some PE tops and one jumper..I didn't know they wanted revision guides I have so many! we may be taking a drive back later!

I may need a trundle into he schoolwear shop to grab a couple of jumpers and size up the Pe kit
