Tuesday

Had a good day today.  Me and Peter walked into town and the I took Peter to The Bridge for his anger mangement session.  Walked home and on the way home bought Heather and Adam a pair of trainers each from Wyndsors World Of Shoes and only spent £9 on both!  Well chuffed. :-)

Well, today .......

I took Peter to his podiatry appointment today.  His toe is healing nicely and he has to go back in a month for another check up.  Went to the pet shop after with Peter and priced up how much a ghecko would be for Peter.  He's now decided he wants a leopard spotted ghecko.  The pet shop we'd get it from does a deal whereby you get the ghecko, tank, book and everything else you need for £85.  Told Peter it will be a long while before he gets it though cos that's a lot of money.

Today

Me, Grey and the kids went into town to have a look around the International Market.  We bought a load of salami for £10 but just really went to have a look at what there was and to spend time together.  Peter got himself another DS game and I bought Adam a cheap pair of trainers as make-do ones for now because he's desperate.  It's been a fairly good day apart from when we got home Heather was still whinging a bit (she was a bit before we left) and soon fell asleep.  When she woke up she was a bit on the hot side.  She seems fairly ok in herself for now and has had an ice lolly.  I'll keep an eye on her.  I'm not happy with the way she just keeps getting poorly.  She never has a rest from it.

Terrible news

I had a text from Maria this afternoon telling me that Noreen is a lot worse.  She's severely dehydrated and she hasn't eaten or had a drink in 2 weeks, so it's not looking good.  I asked Maria if it was getting close and she said yes.  Got to tell Peter now when he comes home, not looking forward to that at all.

Made it!

I finally made it over to mum and dad's yesterday with the kids.  Although I have seen them since xmas it's not the same because it's always them making the effort to come over here, so it was nice to be over there for a change.  Heather and Peter ended up sleeping the night too, so I just came back with Adam.

When I did get home however, I found myself locked out of the house!  For some reason I'd left the house without my keys and when I got home Graham was still teaching at the Scawsby Community Centre.  Luckily we didn't have to wait long for him to come home, just 1/2 hour.  He brought home a chinese and we ate that before sending Adam to bed.

Another day

I'm coming off here in a minute and going into the kitchen  to tackle the mountain of pots and see what cleaning I can get done before lunch time.  Then, with any luck, me and the kids are off to my mum and dad's this afternoon.  I'm ashamed to say I haven't been over to their place in 3 months.  It's not because I haven't wanted to, but someone has always been too ill either to go or receive visitors.  I'm determiend today though, no matter what, that we're going.  Graham won't be going but that's because he'll be teaching.

Today

I didn't start the housework till about 2.30ish this afternoon, but I did manage to get loads done.

I started off cleaning all the doors upstairs and the door frames.  Then I moved onto Heather's bedroom while her and Adam had a play in the bath.  Got them out and dressed, the started on the boys bedroom.  I've just finished now and it's nearly 8pm.  I wet polished both bedrooms, changed all the beds and put toys in the correct boxes.  I'm really happy with what I've got done today.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and get the bathroom and my bedroom done.
