fabby weeekend

had a fabby weekend. Popped down to Wales to see the family. Had a great 4 hours with Lexie - basically crawling round the floor ! She's a little poppet and a totally cutie. Loves to give you a cuddle and looked really sad when we were leaving bless her. Kev and Paul knocked a few beers and some wine back watching the rugby (well done Wales again).
Then over to Anna's for some more rugby. Simon picked up a bad foot injury playing footie, but not half as bad as that Arsenal chap - ouch.
Anna & Kev cooked some homemade burgers and chunky chips - which were lush.
Then we had a bit more vino collapse whilst watching England stuff France - whoo hoooo.

Popped over to see Dawnie & Mum on Sunday. Still seems weird with Sox not being there,bless him. Dawn loved her little Sox photo book. She got one of those Memory mattresses, that shapes itself to your body but then springs back to shape as soon as you move . Very comfy ! I have a pillow like that, but couldnt afford the mattress at the time. Maybe when we change our bed . ... . ?
Picked our little lad up on the way home, he is totally knackered and slept all evening - all tucked up in his bed - aaah.
Kev got up at 4.30 (!!!) and drove to Falmouth for the week. Bleeding freezing here this morning, and took ages to defrost my car. Bring on the weekend !

No blood letting

I turned up, signed in, but failed the test ! my cold is still too bad so they didnt' want me.
Sods law really, the one time i get the courage to go, cant donate.
Hey ho, next time I'll try again.

Shaney was a first-timer and she was fine.
Craggle was fine although her arm bled madly.
Simon was fine but Craggle's bleeding arm made him faint, bless him.
Swiftly whisked off home to recover !

Blood letting

Stupid bus - had over a 30 minute wait - again ! argggggggghh. Stupid Bristol traffic

Enjoyed the training session yesterday. Nice bunch of people, and it looks as though our sooper dooper new software is pretty damn good - so bring it on !!

Stupid cough won't stop, hurts my chest and throat. Someone make it stop.

Kev is taking Jack on his holidays later (to the kennels, which Jack lurrvvvves cos he can bark and bark and no one tells him to stop !!)
So I get to blood let later - hope Craggle is ready for this , not sure if I am, but I know its the right thing to do.

Off to Wales tomorrow to visit the kids, so will be knackered by Monday ! But its worth it

stoopid cold

why do the weekends fly by ? grrrrr
Sunday evening i started to get the dreaded feeling of a sore throat. By Monday morning felt like crap, so walked the boy, then jumped back into my cuddly dressing gown determined to call in sick today. 7.30 - Craggle calls to ring in sick ! AAarrghhhhhh. got dressed and went to work !
Rubbish day, couldn't wait to get home. Slept on the settee so Kev could get some shut eye (cos he gets up at 5). Rang in sick - whooohoo. Cuddled up on the settee with Jack for most of the day, streaming nose, barbed wire in the throat, blocked sinuses - stoopid stoopid cold.

Back to work on Wednesday - still feel like crap, but hey ho.
Dog picture books arrived - soooooooooo sweet, really really chuffed with them.
Fridge magnets arrived - soooooo sweet !!

Sitting in on some client training today, should be interesting, cos its the first working model of our new software venture, so gonna pay attention - honest !!!

And for some reason I 've signed myself up to give blood tomorrow ! Eeeekkkk, papping myself.
Not good with needles, so have always skirted round the issue of my conscience - but no more. Tomorrow is D-Day (or should that be B-Day (blood day !!)).
Either way, Craggle is gonna hold my hand and hopefully all will be ok.
