Hair Raising Stuff!!

Andy's comedy facial hair!

Well the hubbie went back to work at the beginning of the week. Mixed emotions about that one all round I guess. He'd got used to being at home and I'd got used to having him despite the fact that he was refusing to shave off the ridiculous Village People moustache that he'd cultivated during 6 weeks of not having to shave. So that was the only good thing about him going back to work, the clean shaven look that I fell in love with!!!  That and not having to look busy while the kids are at school!! 

However as ever the best laid plans are fatally flawed. As Andy was putting his dark combats back on for the first time in months, Felicity was coughing like a seal and is currently at home under my feet with a chest infection dressed as Minnie Mouse. Seriously, you can't make this sort of thing up you know! I got her an appointment with the doctor at our Med Centre and she gave her an anti-biotic that turned her into that child from the Exorcist..... well the vomiting parts anyway. She spat the first lot out at me as it was truly vile and when I did eventually get her to swallow the next lot, it didn't even touch her oesophagus but she was projectile vomiting the contents of her stomach up over my new velvet sofa........... Nice.......

So between the vomiting kids and the incontinent Cyprus Poodle, it's all go in this house right now! And this is the week I've given up wine for two weeks while I attempt to shift some of the Cyprus/post Cyprus weight I've managed to allow to attach itself to my middle!!!!!  The weather here is just not as attractive for running in I'm afraid......... I have to wear too many layers of clothing for a start and getting all that Lycra stuff on is a work out in itself! By the time I've negotiated my way into the sports bra I'm shattered!!!!

All I want to do is get the sewing machine out and make stuff. What?? Dunno, I'll think of something.  I feel a quilt project coming on................. and possibly a Gin and Tonic!
