Busy Monday....

Today was a busy day...Laurence was home from school, so I took the opportunity to do a few errands...I had to get some things done at the bank, with the lawyer...and sorting out some people to come and give quotes re renovations....

The water guy has to come out because our well water is going black...and we are having problems with the iron levels in it too - even the new washing machine is going yellow inside and the white kitchen sinks are stained black......so he is coming out to sort it.....I should have just called him like I had planned to - but stupidly I sent Lloyd a text.  Why do I do THAT??????  I knew to call Barry!!  But I did the dependent thing and sent Lloyd a text.....duh!!!

I never learn........I really don't need him any more to do stuff like that - I'm more than capable....although he took the last cheque book!!!  Why????  But he's bringing it back tonight thankfully - and the mail key!!

I stopped in at the local store today and got chatting to some British lady who has just moved here from Cambridge.....she's living in some womans garden??????  hahahahaha  anyway that was nice.....I grabbed some squeezy cream and came home and made waffles for the kids for a really late lunch....

Yummy waffles with cream, syrup and chocolate chips!!

Susannah is staying at school for a party and then I am heading there just before 7 for her Choral evening.....I get to hear all the songs the choir has been learning all year.  It should be really nice :)

Apart from that, chores, kids stuff, normal Monday stuff :)

Val had her BIG day today - her Daughters are now legally and well and truly HERS (well, and James') Woohoo!!!  :)  

And Tess was at the docs for her results...although didn't get her results....sigh....so has more waiting to do.........

So both Tess and Val were in my thoughts today xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh and Laurence surprised me today - he bought me the new Daughtry CD online......then put it on CD for me for the car :)  He's such a sweetie :)

Yes I agree. I am happy you are blogging again. I was so excited to see the invite. Love the hair! And sounds like you had a wonderful weekend with the kids.

"sqeezy" cream!! LOL Never heard it called that.

I have to say that the "freeing" part made me a little jealous. That would be very nice at times! ;)

I'm glad your blogging again too.

As for the rest, people do odd things when they are changing their life patterns....You are used to a partnership and now you are doing things on your own. It takes time.
