Well, I gave the Argos card some hammer...bought weed cover mat, stones - 5 bags for one small area! 5 plants to put through the mat: a Calla Lilly, daisy plant, two carnations, and some green leafy type plant, solar lights, and some pansies to go in the front garden. Then Two tins of paint, and I had to go back for more stones as I had only got 2 bags 1st visit, so decided to sand down some old draws and paint them black and put new handles on...so got that, brushes, rollers, masking tape...think that was all! And in two days I weeded the back patch, laid the mat, cut holes and planted, covered in stones, set out the lights, masked out one wall to paint, did two coats, sanded the draws, painted the draws and attached new handles! PHEW! worn out and come down with a cold which seems to have attacked the kids too! So still have to plant the pansies and a little paint work to do, just go round the edges, and do a small wall that I managed to get paint on! Then the bedroom is done...unless I attack the wardrobe with the black paint.....only problem is my eczema on my hands is so bad I just want to cut them off!
Other news, just when you think no more, surely nothing else can go wrong in this family, bang, your sister decides she doesn't want to live and tries to OD. Think it was just a cry for help, as she called an ambulance, and could have done a lot more damage with the insulin my mum has in the house. So I am in two minds as to weather to go visit... She has said not to, and I have said she can come stay here for a while if it is all to much for her back home, but she doesn't want to. I think she is just confused, and in need of help, which hopefully she will get. Plus she has got to stop getting so drunk! Gone from one addiction to the other poor girl.
Anyway, as it stands, I will stay put for now, plus we have so much going on this week, hubby has his colonoscopy tomorrow, put it off twice already, and I am waiting for a washing machine to be delivered, as mine has given up spinning....clothes are piling up and I am beginning to think a trip to the laundrette is in order pretty soon! And then I have volunteered to man a stall at the school fayre this Saturday....I've been assigned the coconut stall! (Ironic with my life!)
Well, that's this weeks news, oh except trying to organise a surprise 50th for hubby, talk about stress. Will let you know more when I do!
