Catching Up

Well would you believe it when i last wrote on here i said my mum and sis may visit on the Friday, later on that same night i was washing the dishes (oh the joys of being a housewife) and the front door burst open and there they were. I had tried getting hold of my mum on msn during the day no wonder she was'nt answering.
We went to see my 2 brothers on Friday for my mum and sis to catch up with them and as my brother does alot of wheeling dealing and had just bought alot of art and craft bits, my mums idea of heaven..
We arranged to go back on the Saturday too as he was due to bring more of the stuff back to his warehouse, he had ropped his his fiancee into helping him too and his little side kick we call fraggle.

The weather has been terrible so no car boot this week, also we had been scouring the net and found the gay pride of Birmingham so my mum and sister decided to go home early on the Sunday and come back on the Thursday of this week.

We had to take little one to the doctors as she was quite hot and her breathing was very fast and crackly, it turns out she has a chest infection they have given us a nebulizer and some steroid tablets for the next 3 days. I have since found out my mum has got it too and has not been too good.

GET WELL SOON MUM when you read this love ya xxx

Kids!!!!

The week just seems to have sped by i cant keep up, little one didnt go to pre school on Wednesday as she had a huge tantrum and then promptly fell asleep so there was no point waking her as she would of just been very grumpy.

Its been a nightmare this week with her 1 day she ate a whole packet of my flavoured rennies, then she stuffed a sultana up her nose. I started panicking cos it was quite a large 1 but luckily i managed to scoop it out.
Today she was continually rubbing her nose and i said to her "whats wrong" she said "balls" we have had some little polysterene balls floating around recently from an old beanbag and she had put some up her nose.
I blocked her other nostril off and told her to blow which she did and out shot 1 large ball and a little 1 then afterwards she said "all gone" then went on to have a fit of sneezing. Kids!!!!!!!

I receieved my letter from the hospital to inform me my smear test was normal that was a weight off my mind with everyhting in the news regarding Jade.

We went to toddler group today and ive never seen so many there at 1 time it was chaotic and lots of babies too which we dont usually have, we continued into town afterwards as we needed some filler and to pay some bills. Hubby met us at the library as i had got bored with my books usually Friday is my library day.

As its very close to finishing the living room i am now thinking about the bathroom and my daughters room. We will be getting the tiles weekly as we need so many and until we have them all we wont start on that room.
In the meanwhile i have asked my daughetr to think about how she would like her room, she is definite on the colours which will be 3 different blues.

I'm hoping my mum and sister come down tomorrow for a visit, they were going to last week but realised they were a bit short. So here's hoping they arrive tomorrow i will also have some company as hubby is racing his nitro cars on Sunday in a competition and will be gone all day.

Odd Jobs

The weather has been gorgeous today apart from a bit of wind, im not sure if i will get used to having time on my hands and you get used to having someone with you all the time, it was very strange walking up the road having dropped off little one to pre school, no changing bag no pushchair just me.

I read in the news today that Peter Andre and Katie Price have split i must say im shocked as i thought they were great together although i thought she was very bossy with him but they were a good couple.

We went to a new car boot for a change it was quarter of the size of our usual 1 much to my hbby glee i think. I bought a gorgeous brown chunky framed mirror just what i had been after, after cracking the glass we had cut for an old frame we had. It was a bargain at £6 the lady said she paid £60 for it ohh i do love a bargain.

The front room is having the last finishing touches added to it and i must say looks great and im really pleased with it. The skirting board holes need to be filled and a bit of paint done.
Over the weekend alot of little jobs that have been put off was done and they look great more homey now. The bookshelf i had for little ones room is now in place and so are her butterfly wings lol. We put up the table and bench we got from freecycle too which is for the garden and a storage tub. The shelves in the kitchen were finally put up too.

We discovered yesterday my older daughter had been using the home phone to ring her friends on there mobiles in the morning from our imtemised phone bill!!! Therefore she has had her mobile taken away and been grounded she is like a caged animal at the moment but im hoping she will of learnt her lesson.

Bank Holiday

Well it been a busy few days since i was last here, the living room is coming together nicely just a few odd bits here and there to finish and thats the room complete. It looks so nice i cant believe it. We also got some floating shelves £30 cheaper so that was good.
We didnt really do anything over Bank Holiday Monday.

My brother and 2 nephews came to visit from Devon it was nice to see them, we usually go and see them so it was nice they made the effort to come here for a change. They also came to the car boot and he was well chuffed he got a 2 man tent for a tenner.
My hubby has offered our services to the neighbours to look after there chickens while they are away so that should be fun hahah.
We met up with my other 2 brothers while my older 1 was down and had a carvery paid for us too, it was good all getting together they also brought there friends Mandy and Martin. They were 9 of us in total i love it when we catch up though as there is always so many of us.
We came home and one of my younger brothers was meeting his fiancee at our house as she was picking him up on the way home from a christening she had been to in Cardiff. She also had my younger brothers children with her Chloe and Ryan it was great to see them as its been quite a while.
