Some Rain!

Well I am trying to keep up with my promise to myself to update each weekend! So far so good.
It has been raining on and off lightly since early yesterday morning and even though it isn't a lot it is better than nothing.
Everyone in the family either has a cold or asthma and the coughing is dreadful! Like every other household I imagine! Ellen sounds terrible and will have to go back on a three day course of cortisone! Poor girl.
Today is the day we finally start getting something organised for Ellen to wear to her Yr 12 Formal. We are going to see a frien'd daughter and she is going to draw up Ellen'd design..then we need to find some one who can make the pattern and make the dress! Oh dear why couldn't we find one off the rack?
Have a great day everyone!

I Did It Too!

Well everybody is having a play around so I did too..again very basic and a bit big but OK.
BTW I am able to read emails at the moment but can't reply! !

Don't Fall Over But yep Another Entry!

I have had a busy week but now the report cards are handed out and the School Moderation for this year is over and done with! Phew! Heaps of paperwork still to do but a lot done!
I went to visit my friend last night but she wasn't doing very well. The docotr says she will need 24 hour care so IRL this means a Nursing Home. I was very upset after my visit but am going back tomorrow mornming and hoping she is feeling better.
Tonight we had a close call! MIL nearly accidently burnt the place down! Luckily the smoke detector worked and I investigated and Simon put the fire out! It was so smokey and my asthma wasn't happy but a part from a wall needing to be repainted and a burnt sofa things are OK. MIL was sitiing there in the same room totally oblivious to what was happening which is the scary part!
I so could not go down that path again..been there done that and never want to do it again nor anyone else.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and a wonderful week.
One more week until holidays..yeha!

Long Weekend

I am loving this long weekend. I have finished all of my report cards and am up to date with the chores...well except the ironing! Yuck I hate ironing. I made an orange cake, marble cake and 2 1/2 dozen patty cakes! Phew! I hope this lasts more than a day! LOL

I even managed to scrap this LO..not brilliant but in honour of the rain we had this week! I hope everyone is having a great weekend..for those with one!

On the news side of my friend in hospital she is off the ventilator and on a ward. She is on oxygen and basically can't move but did open her eyes wide when she saw us, so we are positive she recognised us when we visited on Friday. She raised her eyebrows to a few things too but the poor thing tried to talk and couldn't. My fear is that she is trapped inside her own body. We will be going down again this week and on different days so she gets more stimulation....we hope it makes a difference.
