The Old Lady

Busy Weekend

I didnt stop! We both didnt stop! I spent 5 hours cooking on Friday night so I could manage to feed all the bodies that were coming round at the weekend to help us with stuff (Simon's parents and Rachel on Saturday and my parents and Alex on sunday). Everyone was total stars, doing painting or helping with stuff like ironing and cleaning the bathroom. I couldnt believe how generous people were with their time. We are all exhausted. It isnt what I needed before a v tough week at work but there we are! At least our lounge and one of the spare bedrooms (I love saying that!) is v v nearly done now so we can make them habitable and reduce the strain on the rest of the house. We might have somewhere to sit down and relax soon! It does look really very good I have to say. Mum is being a total love and coming over today to steam clean our carpets too! We are just so lucky. I do appreciate them - I dont think I used to enough but now I do. Separating the parents meant they got more work done individually too as last weekend too much wine got drunk and too much gossiping took place !

Off to Edinburgh after today until Thursday evening so next post wont be til Friday.

Have a good week!
