Well, the school fair was dreadful. Is it possible to sue the BBC weather man? After seeing the weather was going to be in the low 20's I changed out of my jeans at the last minute and went for a silk maxi dress. What a mistake. The 'light wind' was an icy northerly that almost took a double gazebo over a 6 foot hedge and into the field next door. If I hadn't taken double sided tape we'd have lost our tablecloths too. And I froze. The sun didn't appear for more than a few seconds at a time and it felt like 10 degrees to me. 

My daughter and I were simultaneously struck by a vomiting bug yesterday. And my goodness, children really can puke everywhere! I've been washing everything and scrubbing rugs and floorboards. Even doors! Not great when you feel pants yourself. My husband was away. :(

And Bad Bobby has been backwards and forwards to the vet with a tail abscess that won't clear up. He first got it at the last bank holiday which is typical of him, when the vets were closed! Apparently it's common in cats that fight as the tail is a good place to bite. And he's a tough guy.


As you can see!

So this post is a total winge fest!

Let's cheer ourselves up with the Bloggiversary Giveaway results!

I stuffed up on the dates. There was no Wednesday 13th. It was Wednesday 12th. Doh! Anyone hoping to enter at the last minute - tough.

Congrats ladies! Please send me your addresses and Loo, have a think about if you'd like some text on your crate?

Painting progress is non existent but we have had a house full of sparkies today and we are now ready to do the dining room floor! Yay! Because at the moment it is this:


...which is upsetting. But certainly not the worst I've ever had. 
Nor was this!



Or even this... 



...nope, I've had worse than pot holes...

This is the all time worst carpet (from my last house)...


I mean, what were they thinking? It didn't stay long after I moved in! The mis matched bannisters were an unusual design feature too.

But before the floor can go down, the walls need a little TLC now...




Lovely! Good thing this house is a ten year project!
