So tired!

Work has been incredibly busy! I started this week with a skant +1 hour on my flexi clock and today I’m at +5 hours. Combination of a lot of work and being roped into Red Nose day organising means I’ve been far too tired to blog for several weeks! We raised nearly £300 and that was just our room; got to admit it’s nice to work somewhere that actually does charity work! My real retail job didn’t and we were too small really at the wool shop to do a lot. Red Nose day for those who are not British raises money for so many things, but there is a main focus of Africa, work for people who have AIDS, Malaria and especially a strong focus on Children all over the world. They pretty much perform miracles in the lives of many people. If you’re a crafter you can’t help but have but noticed the beautiful Red Nose Dolls and the focus on what the charity does; Amazing work!

 

Anyway; onto some amazing work of my own – well at least that’s what my mum said!

This is actually a cheat picture; they don’t have heels yet but they do now and have been posted off to my mum and have been even worn! Not for general wear mind, they’re for very best in the caravan wear only apparently.

I’ve got a couple of WIPs on the go at the moment which I need to whittle down, because I have the urge to cast on so many new things. I hope to catalogue them properly on Sunday; I’m working tomorrow but I will try and get off my bum and photograph them all and hopefully have a finished object ready for then too!

UFYL Day 3-

  Yesterday was a day off because I worked all day. The idea is to get the house to a stage where 20 mins a day in the dedicated room will do it; but we are not yet at that stage so I had a day off. OH did some laundry and attempted to scrub at a mould stain. Today- Bathroom, Spare Room and Cupboard Under the stairs.   Bathroom:   Before So to start off with grout got scrubbed. See the little white patch in the before? That was where I’d attacked it with baking soda about a week ago. As a result the bathroom was clean-ish but horribly cluttered. I got rid of any bottles that we didn’t use anymore, any face cloths that were damaged because they hadn’t been washed in a while (Note to self, next paycheck buy new ones- Ebay?) and just generally sorted. All surfaces got wiped down including the outside of the toilet bowl, the stem of the sink, the pipes behind the loo, the outside of the bath and the skirting boards. Emptied the bin, removed that POS “organiser” from around the stem

Sad week

  We’re not having a very good week here in Gloucester. Sunday I was poorly and had to phone into work sick (I’m much better now) and then on Monday we had to have our oldest hamster put to sleep.  He’d been going downhill for the last few days, and when I got home from work on Monday, it wasn’t good, so the kindest thing to do was take him and have him humanely put to sleep, it would only have been a few hours if we’d have left him naturally anyway- best to put him out of his suffering. So then the next day we went back with Rommie the rat. She’s been having real trouble with balance, and she’s got so skinny even though she’s eating. The vet thinks she’s blind, and that it may be a brain tumour or an abscess on her brain. The only way to tell would be an MRI, and the best that could tell us is that there was something there; with a cat or dog there would be options but she’s a small animal and she’s old- Plus at the moment I wouldn’t be convinced that she’d make it through the anaes
