Good Morning Lovely Ladies
I worked very hard on Friday. Full WHB, 5 Loads of washing (washed, dry, folded). Made Cauliflower Fried Rice (took a lot of time), marinated Pork Chops for dinner and a Chicken Meatloaf as well. I felt like I spent hours in the kitchen yesterday, and all with DCat at my feet thinking it was her turn to eat. I also packed up some tubs we had emptied Christmas out of, put up some more shelf deco's and found out a few more tubs to start on next. Took DD16 to and from school plus to see her friends formal photo's while I did a quick grocery shop. Oh and picked her up after dinner at her BoyF's. All amongst an afternoon and night of storms. It was the longest lightning storm I can remember in ages, it just rolled on and on for hours plus a couple of hours of really heavy rain. (Thankfully the formal photos were not washed out, but I think the after party might have been.)
I fell into bed exhausted about 11.30pm then woke at 1am with a nightmare (of the scary movie variety-freaky) and a panic as DD20 was out and about clubbing last night and hadn't texted she was home. I texted her (and as happens so often) her BoyF had just picked her up and they were nearly home, so it was only another 20mins and I knew she was safe and well. But I had trouble settling back down.
Today I am up early as I am planning to be out the door about 8.00am. I want to be 1st in line at ALDI. I am buying DS21'sGF a fan for Christmas (which will benefit them both in the height of Summer). Then to Big W (I hope they open early) to buy the gas bottle for DD20BF's portable BBQ for Christmas. Then to the hospital for a visit. And then home for some more decorating and hopefully an afternoon Nana Nap. DD16 has an 18th to go to tonight, I know the family well so I will be happier with her having a later night than usual (pick up is usually 11pm) so might be out and about at midnight. Oh and I have all the kids here for dinner and probably at least 1 plus one. So it's Chicken Keiv for them (I know I have enough) and something with a little less calories for me.
Ok, time to go make the golfers lunches. DS21 will be here after I am gone (he always gets a lift from here and then comes home with DH), then be ready for my early morning shopping list.
Wishing you all a Super Saturday and a Wonderful Weekend xoxo (Take some time to pamper yourself this weekend, it's a busy time of year
Our annual carols are on Sunday night. I always try to have the lights on by the 1st and if not by the 1st weekend after. If the lights aren't up before the carols, then there is no point putting them up, that's when we get the crowds walking back to their cars. And this year the Carols are being mixed with the "Childrens Games" so the crowds will be even bigger. DH shoulder and back just wouldn't allow him to do the gutter lights and I wouldn't attempt it myself. So it's window lights only or nothing. Need to make that decision TODAY!!!
