So much for taking an internet holiday to catch up on chores! A week ago today I posted that I was going to do just that & by mid afternoon that same day I was feeling dreadful & trying my utmost NOT to be sick!! I HATE to be sick…it makes me cry & act like a real wimp!! I also had horrible abdominal gripes & didn’t feel safe too far away from the loo!! So, not much got done on Tuesday!!
On Wednesday I did the morning school run, came home to fill a hot water bottle & disappeared under the duvet until it was time to do the school pick up….so not much got done on Wednesday either!!
By Thursday I was feeling less queasy & had to stay awake as I had a dental appointment in the afternoon…I pottered around at home & as the day progressed, I felt quite a bit better!
However, on Friday I felt quite wobbly…a limp lettuce to be precise…no appetite & no energy, so I took the decision to cancel my place at the Crafty Stash crop on Saturday…such a shame as I’ve seen what Denise did with the kit on Sunday & the LO’s look great fun!
Saturday dawned bright & sunny, so I decided to potter around in the garden & in between numerous ‘time-outs’ to snooze on a lounger I managed to prune back all my climbers & pull a fair amount of weeds! Admittedly they were those red stemmed clustered weeds that come away oh so easily & not much effort was needed, but it felt like my first productive day of the week!!
….& as no blog post is complete without a few photo’s…what else has been going on in our household this week? 
Nathan made oat & raisin cookies at school….& demolished most of them himself…well, for once he didn’t have any competition from me!!
I glanced out of the window on Thursday evening to see the boys…one wearing my red shower proof jacket…the other my wellies!!
They were putting the guinea pigs to bed & as it was raining, just grabbed the first things that came to hand…no change there then!
Incidentally, Karen was also laid low this week by a bout of Gastroenteritis…adding insult to literal injury as she’s also in pain with a bout of sciatica at the moment …maybe my symptoms were sympathetic?!!!
Finally…I have seen two movies that I have not reported on! Last Sunday it was the amazingly entertaining ‘The Back Up Plan’…
Jennifer Lopez is awesome in this film…anyone who has ever been through pregnancy & childbirth should go see it…it was soooo funny… & moving too!!
This Sunday we caught ‘Robin Hood’ just as it was released… 
As usual, thanks for dropping by…I’m going to try & get things done again this week! I’ll let you know how that works out for me!!! :)

Oh, you poor thing! Isn't it just typical to be laid low when you have a list of a million and one things that need doing?
(I've not achieved anything here either. We've had a mains gas leak and there've been workmen digging holes in the lawn since Friday and laying new pipes - and they're still at it! Most distracting...)
Love the photos of your boys in your coat and wellies :D
Good luck for this week :)
Oh yucky.....you have had a terrible week.....I too hate to be sick and tend to be wimpy also!!!
So sorry that you had to miss out on your crop!!!
I did get the e card.....I had trouble loading it and it took several times....Thank you so much!!!!
I love the pics of the boys in your jacket and boots!!! That is tooooo funny!!!
Wishing you a great week and hoping that you are feeling better!!! I can hardly wait for you to hit the States...don't forget to to shout me out!!!!
Sorry to hear about your poorliness....but love that cupcake you still managed to make.
Thanks for your comment on my blog about cardmaking...it inspired a whole new post yesterday!!!!
Ooh, that sounds rotten Sandi. It must have been really bad if you cancelled going to the crop! I hope you are feeling a lot better now.
And thank you for your lovely congratulations yesterday :)
I'm so sorry to hear that, you poor thing! I hope you're 100% recovered now xx
The Boy has just discovered a love of oatmeal raisin cookies so I stocked up on ingredients again today :-)
And thanks for the recommendation of The Back-Up Plan - it's on my list!
