I thought i was going to have a perfect week as my hubby has gone to play golf in Scotland,so i could do ANYTHING!!…i fancied ,time to myself,read,go for walks, paint,or GARDENING.But!!!! Monday i went to work in the shop for 5 hours and Mary [the boss] asked if i would help her out by staying a little longer so i stayed the full day………Tuesday morning my daughter asked if i would babysit for her while she went for her check up at the doctors….so the mornings gone,afternoon we go shopping..I think i will get some plants and bulbs….But no!! children crying tried and hungry we come home, after they leave [God Bless um] i sit down for some ME time…But no!! the man we asked to put us a new TV in the bedroom has turned up he asked if he could start now and finish….TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Running out of days.Time now for a nice cup of tea !!! Is that the door bell?????

I know the feeling Swanky. I took a week off work earlier in the summer - to read, garden and get caught up with housework - Spent it ferrying my children to friends' houses and having their friends round, looking after my hubby's elderly relatives, etc etc- I was glad to get back to work for a rest!!!! Never enough hours in the day....

Glad you managed to fit in a bit of GoY time though. Got to get your priorities right! It's lovely to have family close by but sometimes we can be a bit too handy. All I seem to have done this week is babysit, water people's plants (it WOULD be sunny and dry wouldn't it!) and do a 10 mile round trip twice a day to feed and medicate cats. Ah well it's nice to be useful !

All this running around we women do, keeps us young [at heart] ... wait for the comments of the men!!!!!ha ha :o))

I know the feeling I don't work at mo coz of my ops but then there's physio and the Dr and the dentist just recently. A couple of other appmt's too then when I do plan some garden time it's my nephews who turn up after advice money chocolate you name it.They can be useful coz I can't lift so I get my garden tubs put on the table or the wall. Hubby wasn't happy when I asked him to put compost in another load of pots yest but I got another 100 bulbs delivered this morning.

Wow! Another 100! How many now then?
Hope your recovery is going well GG1!

About 500 went a bit mad but gonna give some to friends.
Recovery coming on important appmt with knee surgeon next wk.
How's uni going is it full or part time?

16 Sep, 2009

 

That's good to hear! Hope appt goes well.
It's going well, I think! First 'real' week this week, &a lot of IT glitches, which could hold us up, but I think I'm going to love it!
It's full time for 4 years!
