Phew what a busy week it has been, I had to visit the hosp on weds evening as something wasnt right, and the pain I was in argh, thankfully baby is ok and I have to rest, overdoing it again, but I havent been doing anything!!! I think sometimes you underestimate how much the little things can wipe you out, plus if I dont clean noone else will, although hubby has since pulled his socks up lol, all I need is a little bell haha, I say jump he says "How High". My daughters Ukuelle concert was absolutely fantastic!!! we had a fabby time! so thats why I havent really been around I hope to visit you all a bit later!
I also recieved an award from Jo , hunny thankyou so much I am so sorry I havent acknowledged it before now! Thankyou muchly for thinking of me.xxx
Thanks for stopping by have a fab Friday.xxx
