The last few days have been really hot so I haven't really done very much at all at home except the basic cleaning i.e what I could not get away with lol. On Wednesday OH had the day off work as his car had to go to the garage for an additive to be put in for the emissions. It was a new car 6 months ago so can't really understand why. We spent the day at a shopping centre about 6 miles from where we live, which was nice to look around somewhere different. Very impressed with the £1 shops there and also the fruit market in the centre which was very cheap compared to where I shop (even Lidl!) OH got himself an upgraded phone which is great as the one he had was so cheap and nasty that it was really hard to use. He has the same make as me now so I can help him if he gets stuck lol. Well at least with the hot weather all the washing is dry, but to be honest I am not very good in the heat. I have to rest up in the cool as I suffer from heat exhaustion quite badly and feel dizzy with it.
Umm This is Not My Lawn Yet lol
Our garden looks really great now as the grass has grown back and the flowers are out that we planted. It was just mud and bald patches last winter so OH got a lawn expert in to sort it out. At the time I thought it was a total waste of money but I must saw whatever he sprayed it with has really worked very well so he was worth it. He charged £47 a visit and only came twice, and we have a lawn. Apparently he visits 4 times a year to treat the lawn which is not too bad. The toddler had her tent and tunnel out and was playing happily outside. The dog, on the other hand, has made it her mission in life to eat the grass and as a consequence is sick twice a day. In view of this I have to take her in the garden on a lead which is not ideal but solves the problem. Crazy cockapoo lol.
Guests for dinner lol
Today, Thursday my sister and brother-in-law visited and stayed for tea which was nice to have company. Brother-in-law is feeling a bit better but still having tests done. Daughter and toddler went out for the afternoon, and OH was late home as he curbed the wheel on his car and put a hole in the tyre! Daughter has had a throat infection and cough for the last few days and has almost lost her voice. Really hope I don't catch it as I have COPD and will end up back on antibiotics.
Heard from a girl we fostered years ago this week - facebook is a wonderful thing lol. She found us on there and wrote to say hello which was really nice. Daughter was only 4 years old when she stayed with us for a week or two. To be absolutely honest here I don't remember her but her name is familiar and I can remember her staying for a short while as her mum was ill and she was her carer. We fostered for years and had so many different kids that sadly I can not remember them all. The ones I do remember were the kids that stayed a few months or the ones that were really difficult and had a lot of problems. Sad but truthful, but I won't tell her that as it might upset her. Have also heard back from an old friend asking me to visit her at her new home. That sounds nice so when it cools down a bit I shall be off visiting. I think I spend far too much time at home and there is a big wide world out there.
Bye for now All the best x
