friday was Smoky morning and his owners were away due to sad news in the family , soo smoky had a house sitter

but when he heard us , he ran out to meet us and was my little shadow -- the lady who is looking after him has my number now in case -- will see him next friday

my poor step D1 is very upset about her furbaby , wish i was closer so i can give her a big hug

Thanks hon @Zoe7

I do think she needs to realise that at work she will have good days and sometimes very bad days. The main point is to not take it personally and just put them behind her. I think she learnt that yesterday 🤔🤔

Enjoying my cuppa at the moment 💕

Hi @Zoe7 @Snowie @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @Anastasia ..... 👋💕

Church this morning with D1 and grandbaby was lovely ... D1 relaxed and grandbaby well behaved ❣️ D1 had some things to sort out at a shopping centre near our house, so we grabbed some lunch and chilled before a baby shower she had to go to this afternoon.

I am trying to sort some emails and accounting, but dozing off in the process, so might take a nap before the nap takes me ...... lol

Good to find you all here chatting 💞💞💞💞💞

@Faith-and-Hope Hey Faith-and-Hope xxx

Hey Pea @Bunniekins 👋

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

Sounds like it was a nice morning with D1 and grandbaby.

Hoping you got a nap in there 😴

It is a big decision to rebuild @Shaz51 but also now the decision has been made you can look forward to having the home you would like. It will be a lot of hard work (and yes stress along the way) but the end result will be yours. I also know you will have concerns about leaving your Mum but it will also be good to have your own space again.

I am sorry to hear Smokey's family have had some sad news in the family - he must be missing them a lot ...so ood that you are there on Fridays and that the house sitter has your number. He is very attached to you and if he needs some extra TLC while his parents are away then you are around.

What has happened with step D1s fur baby my sister?

@Snowie Sorry Hon - fell asleep. I was going to stay up and get an early night but snuggled with Tobes and that was it. Have done a few things since I woke up but have to get into it again - so going to be a while before I can think about sleep tonight now.

I agree - D would have learnt a lot from her bad experience yesterday and if she can put it behind her and place it where it belongs (in the past) then that is a great skill t have in life.

Oh gorgeous grandbaby accompanying you and D1 to church @Faith-and-Hope - how precious to share that together. I bet everyone was totally in love with them too

Also glad to hear you had some chill time Hon. It seems this weekend has been filled with those moments and you have managed to not only look after yourself but maybe relieved a little of the other stress for a couple of days.

I have been doing the same as you this afternoon - emails, budget planning, sorting some bills and clearing some other paperwork that needed to be done. I have not managed to do a lot of what I wanted to for school (mainly marking) but I can do that throughout this week before my day on class Friday. I have cut the wood for the kids, fixed the hot glue gun (naughty spring decided to pop out) and packed most of what I need tomorrow. I am going to put it all in the car tonight so I am not pushed for time in the morning.

@Zoe7 , we will be staying at mum's, the building will probably take a year and our land is just around the corner from mum's

Have to see how much the house will cost first before building so it will be a slow journey

Step D1 furbaby dog had to be put down after biting a piece out of the mother in law arm , she needed surgery and is in hospital

@Faith-and-Hope , @Snowie , @Bunniekins , @Anastasia

Oh shivers @Shaz51 sorry about sd1 dog and injury. Hugs x

Hi @Zoe7, thanks for the tag. You sound full-on as usual. I'm ok enough, didnt steep well last night, brain in hyperdrive. Having cardiac workup week full of tests re syncopy & palpitations. Just got notification my rents going up 11% 😲 next month (how rude!). And Pressing fwd with requesting Joint Administration rights with my sister re Family Estate as legal advice, its my only recourse for transparency with my sister. I'd rather crawl under a rock though, know it will trigger abuse from two of the brothers, glad I moved. Its Hard
standing on to bullies. Glad I moved away.
On a good note, my van kitchen is coming on. I turned an old tallboy on it's side in the back of the hiAce looking out. Today i secured a solid beam across the middle and attached one of the doors to make a lift up bench table 👍 Have no idea what I'm doing so it took
me all day and my back's killing me BUT looks pretty good if i do say so myself 😊 and its functional. Just needs a sand and paint and maybe a couple more shelves. Good fun. Real wood!
Hope you get everything done for the Kidz at school this week. Love the project work you do for them 😇👍
