Bit tired now...

It's been one hell of a week...

Simon, eldest brother and tree-hugging hippy of the family came up to visit. He was sporting a rather fetching beard, made him look..... warm (if that makes sense?), ah well, at least he can still grow hair on part of his head, even if its a bit further south than it used to be. heh.
Anyway he was here to help with the clearing of Dad's house and to cut a long story short we got nowhere fast. That man had an insane amount of books and cd's ("Educational!") and I secretly suspect they are multiplying on their own whilst we're not looking!! Still got some stuff done and some important things across the county to Auntie Sandra (still drinking her pomegranate juice by the bucket load bless her!!) which is great cos it needed doing.

Unfortunately whilst he was here we infected him with our lurgy.... yes this week we have been in quarantine for we are "Unclean!!". We have the sickness... I have been puked on numerous times by at least 2 of my children this week... one of them shit the bed and one shit their pants too!! (and that was just Rich!! LMFAO - I just kidding...) YAY! so its been eventful to say the least, with much plenty washing and drying and re-making beds and changing nightwear and holding hair back over sick buckets etc... I know you're all SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I'm sharing but TOUGH. I've had it all week, I'm exhausted!!! Haven't had a full nights sleep since last Saturday night!! you WILL hear of it.

It wasn't nice. anyway they all feel much better now (fingers crossed) - yes, just in time for the weekend, amazing isn't it? - and they will be returning to school bright and early on Monday morning or maybe even earlier (like Sunday night) if they don't stop arguing... they'll be alright sitting quietly outside nursery for 8 hours wont they??

Anyway, our purpose to infect the world with this lurgy was almost complete until we were uncovered as the starting point of it all... and we were doing so well too!! Angelina and Jake gave it to Simon and Rich, Simon gave it to Mum and a couple of other people and then people stopped visiting... how rude.

Other news this week... my friend and neighbour Jen has got the cutest lil puppy!!!! he's called Gismo and he's a Minature Yorkshire Terrier...also known as 'rat sized' I believe. He's the cutest thing, here's a pic (- this isn't actually him cos the camera on my phone is crap so I googled, but its a really close match!!!)

how cute is that? The whole street is in love with him, great big grown men all falling over themselves for a cuddle, its too funny!!!

What else...hmmm... done lots of Xmas shopping this week... finally managed to get hold of someone in the US that has 2 Giselle dolls and won't charge me a small fortune for the postage costs, so we'll see what happens there... no doubt customs will manage to piss on my bonfire if they can.

Thats about it. Not much else to tell, I'm sure I've forgotten something but it'll come to me about 4am as usual....
