Friday's gone ...

Today just disappeared, how did that happen. Let's see ... Got up and did the first load of washing (our bedroom's bedding). Had a shower and did my hair and make-up. Tidied up around the kitchen and fed the animals. Put first load of washing in the drier and second load in the washing machine. Had breakfast. More tidying up, unloading and reloading the dishwasher. Poo patrol in the garden (too much information?) Louise phoned and asked me to meet her for a coffee at 11.45 Take out first load of dry washing & fold, put in second load of drying and third load of washing (Hugh's bedding) Got in to meet Louise a couple of minutes late . Interesting conversation with her - more on that another day Pop into Iceland for bread and milk and came out with two bags full (always happens!) Home again and unpack shopping. Make lunch for the girls and myself (Hugh had eaten) Decided to tidy my cupboard and chest of drawer drawers (I guess that's where most of my afternoon went! I now have a bag of clothes for charity, a bag of clothes for a friend's daughter, a bag of school uniform for Leah and a bag of rubbish.) Made dinner for the children. Jon arrived home and we chatted while he had his dinner. Watched Greys Anatomy =) (taped last night) Got Emily to bed. Caught up with blogs on the computer. That was my day and tomorrow is another day! Have a good evening xx

An unexpected day

Today I ended up at Haywards Heath Hospital! It wasn't what I had planned but that's the way things go sometimes. Leah (see yesterday's post) swallowed a shiny glass pebble last night. Alison phoned the Dr who told her not to worry as it would work it's way out. This morning Leah started complaining of a sore, hot tummy so Ali phoned the Dr's again. He advised her to take Leah to A&E because he felt they may want to x-ray and see where the pebble was. So, that's where we ended up. The good news is that they did an x-ray, couldn't see the pebble and reckon it's on its way out already so we were able to come home again. No photos this time though. This afternoon the girls and I went round to Louise's (my sister-in-law) for a coffee and chat and tonight we watched Never Been Kissed. Cute movie with a feel good ending. I like those!! I'm taping Greys Anatomy for tomorrow night (sigh!!) Have a good evening xx

Wet Summer

We're wondering if we're going to get a summer this year! Went to the garden centre this afternoon with Claire and my friend Ali and her daughter Leah. We didn't even feel tempted to buy plants because it's been so wet here and we haven't been able to get out into the garden properly. Did get some plant food (for the ones we already have) and enjoyed a wander around the centre until it started raining ..... again! Good excuse to stop for a coffee in the coffee shop =)

Claire & Leah

I can still see you under the table =)

They're predicting more rain for tomorrow so I think we may spend the day at home watching movies

Take care

I'm still here ....

Just a quick post to let you know I am still alive and kicking. My sister, Norma, was over from South Africa for three weeks and I just didn't seem to get round to doing much blogging. Unfortunately, she went home again on Saturday and we're having to get used to an emptier house again. We miss you Norma and hope we'll see you again next year. I will start posting again soon, please bear with me. Take care xx
