Catching up

It seems forever since I sat down at my laptop with a cuppa in hand and a post or two floating around in my head. It has only been a week, but a week feels too long.

After I posted about thinking on the bright side I ended up being sick. K and I were both laid up for the best part of a week , she had a chest infection and I had a reunion with my old friend tonsilitis. Team that sickness with the need to rush out and choose a new car, while I still had the hire car provided by my insurance company, before they settle my claim. Blogger is not escaping without a little blame being laid at their door. What little time and energy I had was not going to be spent wrangling with the new uploader , so I just waited.

 And now here I am. My claim has been settled and I collect my new car on Monday. I am now even beginning to feel a little excited by this! I'm getting a new car! I just realised , woo hoo!

Murray is back to work this week , after two whole weeks off. I am missing him a lot as I do like to have my nest full at all times! It's not helped by the fact that he has gone straight back to work on a big murder case and is probably going to be working all weekend.

Next week the kids go back to school and Nursery and I will feel lost! Although it is highly possible that I may  actually get lost in this hot mess of a house! You seriously would not believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes. Stuff everywhere. Maybe next week I will get it together once everyone is out during the day and back to normal.

I can't believe that Halloween is this weekend! And, true to form, I have managed to procrastinate over the making of K's costume. I have it 3/4 of the way there but because I have never tried to make anything like the top part , I am putting it off. I always do that, instead of just getting my head down and trying it. Now I am worried that I am not going to have enough fabric and it is too late to order more. Ugh Why do I do this to myself??

I can't wait to see them together all dressed up. They have chosen an awesome theme and I think they are going to look hilarious! They have been practising for weeks.

I am excited to share the finished articles on Sunday, but for now I will only share a little clue

Doo bee doo be doo wah, doo bee doo bee doo wah.

It's nice to be back. I am off to upload some photos onto my laptop and attempt to find an easier way to share them on here.
