HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYLEE... AND BYE BYE BOYS

Today our eldest Grandchild, who is of course also our 'daughter' turns the BIG ONE OH.... 10!  I cannot believe how fast the time has gone, how much has happened in that time....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYLEE, Dad and Mum love you so much. (Griffin does too sometimes) lol

...today... Stew is taking Joshua and Damien back to Whitianga... Brylee and Griffin are going with him.... and they are making a 'day' of it so I can have a really good break.

If I feel well enough I am going to do some much needed housework... bathrooms and floors washed being top of the list!

If I still feel like shit I am going back to bed!  AND I will stay there for as long as I like!  That could be BLISSFUL.

ONWARD...

I had a good night's sleep.. as long as ya don't count the hour it took to get to sleep, and the hour I spent coughing up half a bucket of crap from me lungs at 3.30am.... and again when I woke at 7am! 
Stew and the kids just left.... with Stew telling me to DO NOTHING... and leave the housework till he came home.

YEAH RIGHT.... I am HELL FIRE, BENT AND DETERMINED to get this house ship shape again!   I can't stand the mess!  Dust balls everywhere, filthy bathrooms, piles of washing needing to be folded.... I have put it off long enough!  And it will be so much easier to do with no one in the house.. I have even banished the dogs to the laundry!  *hee hee*....

I am happy to say I got all the housework done on my 'list' for today.... and it took me hours! But I paced myself so that I didn't end up knackered.
Stew and the kids are home again from Whitianga after an uneventful trip.  Stew (bless) stopped in at Thames and bought 3 bottles of me tipple (Totara Cafe) so I won't be running out any time soon.  Neat.
He is now cooking dinner (sommit with mince) and I'm taking it easy. 
The cough is easing up a bit today... thank god!


ABOVE: The Birthday Girl with a new wig... quite the rocker chick look!  lol

End of Day:  and I have spent the evening making 1 card!  It's for a girlfreind down in Wellington... kinda a special order.  Finishing touches tomorrow then it can be sent off to her come Monday morning.  Off to bed now, it's alomost 11pm, my bedtime.  nite nite.

  4. Happy Birthday Brylee! Big 10 now, so a couple more chores for you :-)

    I hope you are feeling better. I have the day to myself today too, but I have a small sewing project to do for Nan (just some chair arm things in the material she had her curtains done in). Hopefully I can find time to sit in the sun outside. Oh wait, why don't I take the sewing machine out there? Yep, sounds like a plan...

    Thanks for the comments of me in the dress... My trainer has decided she needs to take me shopping and make me "see" what is in the mirror not what I think is there..

    Again thanks you have no idea how much it has helped!

  17. Happy Birthday Brylee. My girl just turned 11 on 29 Sep. Hope your cough gets better. The Chinese medical halls here have some god-awful concoction that will get rid of your phlegm in 3 days.
