Shake the tree and nuts fall out!

Week 20 of this lock-down and the start of the school holidays Tuesday 28th July 2020 - Today we have received good news, K has been offered a place on the Eurojam international youth camp taking place in Poland next year. Now we just have to raise the money for him to be able to go (I don't have a spare £1500!) i'm also only £74 off my 2nd target with Oriflame and have just over a week until the new catalogue is out, i'm hoping that i can achieve it. The weather doesnt know if its wet or dry - i had put the washing on the line as dry and about 45mins later i was outside bringing it in as it was raining, and about 10mins later it was sunny again FGS! K is getting really bad headaches and it's moving to his eye as well, so not good, can't get hold of Docs either. I need to catch up with the fmily history weekly stories as i'm about 4 weeks behind now, BUT they are going to be boring as i cant add any photos to them due to loosing them all! (I do have originals i...

As we have "officially" finished shielding i won't be posting a big daily post like i have done, but i will add things that have gone on until the end of the summer holidays as we will still be in a sort of lock-down. So lets do a little recap of the past 18weeks of madness: Just a few images that sum up how life has been for me and probably most of the UK! Tuesday 21st July - nothing new to report here, we are all still alive, a little bit more mad than we were 18weeks ago, the kids seem to have become ncoturnal, well not B, hes still up early like a cockoos fart!!!  Wednesday 22nd July  - went and got B some new trainers as his were too small and they were buy 1 get 1 free, YES GET IN! i like deals like this. I also got myself a new pair of slippers, little things! I spent the day re-fixing a piece of wood to the wall to re-fix a curtain pole, this also meant i had to re-plaster part of wall, got covered in said plaster, got dust everywhere and various glues and stuff ...

Yep definately did! DAY 120 - Tuesday 14th July 2020 HAHA, i bet no-one can guess what they are getting? I had to buy a multi-pack extra to be able to do this. So no it's not classed as hoarding really, it's buying in advance!  Do you have shares in the world's most wanted currency? If you don't you may have in less than 6months. You can thank me later! Most shops and things are now starting to re-open, and people have qued for hours just to get their hair and nails done. Do they have nothing better to do? I'm guessing not! I certainly am glad im not a girly girl that does hair, make-up n nails all the time. I still have a tent in the middle of my lounge, B has now moved his teddies into it, his quilt and sleeping bag and his laptop! He has said its his new house! I can see it being here for the next few weeks as it's the school holidays from the end of the week. DAY 121 - Wednesday 15th JUly 2020 And this is them normally. HAHA! and not mentioning those that ha...

DAY 106 - Tuesday 30th June 2020 I bet this applies to many pets, as they have been over-    fed  during lock-down. Flame, my ginger cat is a tubby    thing, but she always has been. The vet has said she is just a big   cat, but it doesn't help that half the neighbours, the local shop and old peoples home all feed her. Oreo the boys Dad's cat is also big. He is part Tuxedo and part farm cat, so is a very big boy. He was put on a diet as i said he was getting fat - but that's because he's an indoor cat, was eating in the evening and then sleeping so not burning it off.  Last night was eventful to say the least! Me and K ended up at CV19 central - aka the local hospital! The one place we have managed to avoid over the past 15weeks. BUT due to the pain in his elbow getting worse and the fact it kept going cold and he has dropped things - i rang the NHS phoneline for advice. A nurse rang me back and asked questions and said a Dr would ring us. The Dr ...

This is soooo my house right now! DAY 99 - Tuesday 23rd June 2020 I would love to say that this is how i spent my day but no, i don't have the patience to do something like this, nor am I that bored. I haven't been well all day (or all of last night), within an hour or so of taking the meds (see yesterdays  post here ) i had major stomach cramps, was feeling and being sick, had an upset stomach and was sleeping on and off. I said it would happen. I rang the docs back and they have told me to stop taking them and have upped the dose of the ibuprofen i take as i am ok with them. I managed to get a loan to get a new Fridge-freezer and have ordered one, its a bit taller than the old one so we may struggle to get it in through the cut out of wall from house to what was the outside cupboard as there is no longer a door to the cupboard either! BUT this slightly bigger one was £30 cheaper than the smaller one - where is the logic in that??? I have no idea. It won't be here until Th...
