So I did the only sane thing I could think of, get the kids to try on ALL their clothes so we could get rid of all the small stuff. Tiny twin has come out rather well, but bigger sister seems to have grown about 6" since last summer. None of them have any trousers that reach the floor!
So that done, and the dizziness fading, we did the library. No sure if it's a National or just West Sussex thing, but the kids sign up, read and review 6 books over the summer and earn stickers and puzzles and a medal at the end. That passed a little time, and then a quick stop at Waitrose to get some Strawberries, we ended up with bargain and rude not to cream cakes too, so I had the healthy apple one and then a snooze!
Feeling a bit better, despite forgetting to drop off the tiny clothes at the re-cycling and charity shop, and falling behind with emails and blogs again already. Looking at this now is making me go cross-eyed, so I am going to go back offline. Oh well.
I am going to try and get a few more windows in my cathedral this evening, but don't hold your breath, I must just go back to bed. xxx
Oh no - you need them to be looking after you!
ReplyDeleteYou really needed those cream cakes but like Nicky said you need them to be looking after you now. Umm and if the eclair is still there I'll eat it :-)
ReplyDeleteThat apple donut is one of your 5 a day! Looking forward to seeing your cathedral full of windows and having seen a couple on Instagram I think it will be worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteHope you get more sleep tonight - I had one of those nights where I wasn't sure if I was awake or asleep...
ReplyDeleteHope you get some more windows done and get a better nights sleep
ReplyDeleteAw, hope you feel better Hadley. Well done on all the sorting out!
ReplyDeletePoor you, hopefully you'll be a new woman in the morning. But well done on being productive despite being ill (I would have bribed the kids with the cream cakes to sit in front of the tv all day....)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I do hope you're not coming down with labyrinthitis! Well done on still being productive though!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon x
ReplyDeleteTake care with the dizziness. Hope a good night's sleep helps.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, but I know those donuts should help! LOL
ReplyDeleteSleep or carb. induced coma? Perhaps you need to stop doing everything...I prescribe just breathing. Go and find a quiet place, close your eyes and just breathe. I know, I'm sounding all new age and you can tell me to go smoke my peace pipe but I'm just wanting you to feel better :)
ReplyDeleteEat another cake and go back to bed. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteLast time I had a theory on why you were smelling oddly you said I was a nasty rumour starter. But now dizzy in the morning, a nap in the afternoon, I am still wondering.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better this morning :-)
ReplyDeleteI need to do that whole clothes thing too but my children are not so compliant at trying on stuff. We do the library challenge here, my children got cocky and read 6 books in one afternoon and filled out the forms saying 'we've finished' I explained that that wasn't really the spirit of it and they'd have to start again! Hope today is better for you x
ReplyDeleteFurther to Leanne's comment, maybe you should hang on to all those wee clothes.....
ReplyDeleteWe've signed up to the reading challenge! I find it a challenge keeping them quiet in the library and making sure my youngest son doesn't forget where he put his library books!!
ReplyDeleteHope the medicinal cakes helped you to feel a bit better,
Wow, you know how to keep their interest in the holidays, party animal! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling a little better! Jxo
ReplyDeleteyou earned those cakes! I am impressed you stopped at one ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better now. I find that dizzy, vertigo feeling so scary.
ReplyDeleteYou don't sound well at all :-(. Our libraries do a similar scheme too
ReplyDeleteBargain pastries indeed! I hate sorting clothes. I make the girls do it themselves. Emily ditches everything and leaves about five things total in her drawers. Helen keeps everything and just unfolds and untidies what was in there in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit behind in catching up with my blog buddies, but by now I hope your tummy is full of pastry and you are feeling better.
