Hello All,
Out of principle I did not blog yesterday and do you know what? I really really missed it, even though I can (and do) talk absolute twaddle sometimes (ok, most of the time). I never thought that I would ever have time to write a blog, I hardly ever have time to brush my teeth in the mornings so actually sitting still and typing seemed like a mission impossible. But never the one to refuse a challenge, it's worth a go is it not?
Today we have all been in the wars, I cut myself, Aardvark hit her head on the radiator whilst rolling about in the floor, Rhino let go of the lid of the desk and didn't move his thumb in time and The Hubstacle kept getting bitten by the braver pigs when doing his rounds! I just recently qualified as a full first aided and have out quite a range of my skills to the test.
In-between having pretend tea parties, setting up the train tracks only to find them in bits when I next walk in the room, making meals, changing nappies, giving lots of cuddles, kisses, raspberries on tummies, cleaning up, chucking stuff in the washer, chucking stuff in the drier, chucking stuff in the dishwasher (must try to remember not to throw stuff in there, it's getting expensive), I have been trying to get the house ready for a guest who is arriving tomorrow (silent scream as I am no where near ready).
I did mention in a previous entry I was expecting a guest and how I needed to clear all the boxes from the hallway to the back stairs. Well you will be pleased to know that has been done and it was done today in a panic when I realised that I hadn't done it (far too many done's in that, but at the present time I am beyond caring).
I have hurridly been preparing the spare room, it for my best friend and she is hardly going to worry but I seem to remember apologising last time she came, about the less than welcoming room and that it was on my to do list. Well, it still is on that list and today I rearranged things a bit in the hope she won't realise nothing has changed!
I collect her from the train station at lunchtime, which hopefully will give me time to Hoover, dust, empty the bins, clean the bathroom, kitchen and lounge, wash the fleecy blankets on the lounge sofas as the dog was laying on them today and he stinks. Then give the dog a bath, wash his bedding, dash to the shops for the things I have forgotten, pay the papers, go to the post office, clean the cat litter tray, and mop everywhere.
Oh bugger it, I will just get her drunk on wine and hope she doesn't notice! There is no use trying to cover anything up as she knows me too well and we are talking about someone who has experience in what I am like as she used to clean before her cleaner arrived!
She will be far too busy playing with her charges anyway, hurry up my friend, we have missed you.
