Graham is off work from Sunday for 11 days and the *to do* list seems to be growing at a rate of knots. In fact, I'd say it is multiplying at the same rate as my grey hairs. Tis not a good look and I must book a trim and pop a colour on it before I have to change my name to Pepe Le Pew!!!
We're planning to paint the living room, landing and stairs which will be a pain but totally worth it as the current colour is a kind of putty shade and very flat and dull. I'm afraid I'm back to being *Mrs Cream* again but it will look fresher. I'm also pondering hiring a carpet shampoo machine and perform all sorts of miracles in the garden, yeah right!!!
The girlies are off to camp and we also have opticians for Miss Muffin and the Orthodontist for Lottie. Plus, I really do need to declutter and, hopefully, have a new cooker fitted.
*In other news*
You've got to laugh but I ordered a new cooker on Monday. It went through ok but then threw a *techie wobbly* so I phoned up and they said it was ok and I should hear later that day or Tuesday.
No news on Tuesday so I call again and they had canceled my order ...... Not happy as I then lost my fitting slot on Sunday. They are fitting it on the 25th now so another week to wait. Hey ho, it could be worse and I will complain to the *powers that be* once my cooker is here and working. I'm not risking upsetting them before it's in place.
The water tank is still leaking but a plastic crate is doing a fine job of collecting the water so far. Fingers crossed, we may have a temporary fix in the offing.
Not much else going on at all just the girlies hitting the books and some *ding dong Avon calling*.
Leaving you with Lottie aged about one and, yes, she was a thumb sucker. In fact, she sucked it so much she got a callous on it. Strangely enough, she doesn't need a brace as her teeth are forward they are actually too far back ...... Go figure!!!
Toodle pip
Ooh, I'm so with you on the grey hairs - for every one I pluck out another two seem to appear in it's place!
Fingers crossed for your cooker delivery and for completing your long 'to do' list!x
