...time for a dot point...

8 December 2007

...Ive had so much happen in the last week or so....its going to be a dot point catch up or nothing at all....

> Mum and Dad have been here for the week..... Dad has helped to build the shed at the new house... they have worked so hard....especially with the weather so hot.
Mum has cooked....mended clothes...sewn Briony a nightie (which she loves Mum...and is wearing) ...got stains out of Brionys white school tops.... among a million other things.
> Ians Mum and Dad have also been here..... Ians Dad has been the other half of the shed building team.... so while Ian has been at work....the two Dads have worked away ...with the assistance of Mitch (who is on holidays)...and got an amazing amount done.....Ian has been there every single afternoon after he finishes....so in the space of a week....its all finished.. and its so appreciated.

> Brent finished up his job at the Nursery last week....the drought has forced them to once again lay off staff....so Brent is back to job seeking....anyone want him?..... he's going cheap.... 'comes with PS2...and incredible ability to dodge any jobs at home... '
> I went back and had my boob lump checked.... fortunately the lump I had been mentally trying to shrink since September hadn't changed..... so they reassured me it was fine.....but unfortunately in the last four months another had arrived...and this one they werent so keen on....so I had a needle biopsy there and then..... results Tuesday... GREAT!

> I haven't scrapped much all week.....I have sewn a few gifts for Briony to give to friends....and finished off a couple of little projects.... ohh...and it was my turn for the Scrapboxx weekly challenge ...so my challenge was to scrap using something old in your stash..... I dragged out these Basic Grey alpha stickers...and I have a new found love for them....

> I haven't got on top of Christmas yet....I have so much to do...and so few opportunities to do it....but theres no use worrying....Im sure it will be done by the day.

>Well...I'm sure there is other stuff happening....as this sounds like nothing at all..... but blowed if I can think of it ..... so that's all for now.
