Okay, well will start with Monday, Monday is weekly shopping day, and boy do we need some weekly shopping, also thought I would do well and ordered some Christmas Prezzies online for the children.... unfortunately (now bear with me a minute), my DHs credit card was defrauded a couple of months a go due to a transaction made a year ago with Ticketmaster Germany. So they have issued him with a new card.... (are you still with me)... now when used in the shop everything is hunky dory.... but large purchases online are obviously a no-no.... Argos works alright, as it brings up an additional security window from his bank in which he fills in various other details and it all goes through (luckily as ordered 2 lots of wardrobes from them Sunday) but other companies, not so good. So phone rings, automated service about a payment for one order, security issues, I ring him he rings back his bank, but actually has no idea of the costs as I still have his credit card, so he has me on one line and the bank on his mobile.... trying to listen to both of us, finally it is sorted out, one company will re-try card later for payment.... good... finished.... not a chance. Do all the usual running around school time, panic to pick DD up from school as older DD has go stuck in traffic, DH is helping out at Beavers, and lo and behold, get back with DD from school at 6pm, and phone rings, another flippin automated bank security call.... ring DH who cant do anything as he is at beavers. Get e-mail saying we need to revise our payment method as card has been declined again.... aaaaarrrrgggghhhh. DH gets home at 7pm and finally sorts it out, put payment through again and yes it worked.... Girls are at guides, so by the time we finish dinner it is nearly 8.30pm and girls need to be picked up.... where has my day gone.
Tuesday..... Quick shop for lunch, Mum pops in for a chat... out for lunch, have 30 mins before picking children up from school, have manic school picking up time (one set of children come out at 3.15 in one area, second set come out at 3.20 6 miles away).. see my problem?? DH gets home from work slightly early, phone rings, its Argos, want to delivery your beds Friday.. or one day next week... aaarrgghh... so before Friday we have to...... strip carpet from boys bedroom, take down 3 wardrobes which just dont cut it anymore, patch up the wallpaper, paint the room, lay laminate flooring (11.6 x 15 foot), and then on Friday build 2 sets of 3 door, 4 drawer wardrobes..... this is after finding somewhere to put all the boys toys, books, DVDs, computer, cars, guitars, etc etc etc....
Wednesday, my Sugar Nellies have arrived.... woohoo, but when do I get to play. Took DS to dentist this morning, he was late out of school and left us 10 mins to get to dentist, which unless I have a helicopter would be impossible, luckily dentist was running late. Had misplaced my mobile phone, so was bothered by this, so popped home before taking DS back to school, and finally found it in a toybox where I had put some of the boys toys away this morning... DOH!!! Took son to school, then had to drive to Colchester and get DD from Uni as she had finished for the day and her car had been in for its MOT.... luckily it has now passed with only £100 worth of work, so she is well pleased. Have a meeting today at 5pm, so need to finish tidying house... (housework, now what is that??). Then after meeting, dinner, trip to Focus for laminate flooring and paint and roll of wallpaper... and so it goes on...
Here some cards I made a few weeks ago......
Have a good day folks!!!!
