What a Friday...

and it wasn't even the 13th! Firstly I was running late to
do my deliveries, but I managed to get to the shop on time,
only to find that Kath had not arrived.

I rang her and Nathan answered. He had mistakenly taken
Kath's phone ( wasted cost) so I then had to ring her on
his phone. She had completely forgotten about coming down
to go to the gym with me.

As he was out and she had Ryley it meant that I had to
cancel the gym appointment and make another one for Monday.

When I got home I found that my water botle had leaked.
In fact three quarters of it was laying in the bottom of my
bag!

I was lucky I had made the appontment with Michelle Edgell
for 12 p.m. as it was quite a mess to clean up.

I arrived at Michelle's only about two minutes late. But as
I turned off at Gunn's Gully I had realized that I had
forgotten Heather's order, Because of the Reflection Center
I had put it in a box in the laundry and that was were it was
still sitting!

But worse was to come as we were sorting out the orders I
realized I had also left most of Michelle's and Tracery's
order in a box on the dinning room table!

Heather lives in Morwell and we arranged that when she picked
her daughter up from schoo, I would drop off the two boxes.
Thankfully all went well with that!

I had prepared a package of PartyLite material for Paula only
to find that when I tried to call her my mobile phone it was
not working. It then hit me it was also in the bottom of my
bag when the water leaked!

I had no idea of her home address to drop off the material.

I had written an acceptance for Janette's wedding and dropped
that off with no problems.

When I got home I was really cross as the phone was still not
working. I tried leaving it in the sun to dry out when I
brought in the towels and hung out the second load but it
still did not work. I had wanted to ring Lena about her order.
About an hour later Lena rang and said she had all her money
for me so I took around her items but found that I had forgotten
her large candle and that the gift certificate that I thought
was mine was actually hers!

Dropped off the presents for Maddie and Sam. As Don was not home
I left them on the back verandah. Then dropped off tghe stuff
at Lena's but I forgot to ask her about coming to the gym next
week.

For the first time this year I got to Cliff's before 6.15 p.m.
only to have to wait till 6.30 p.m. before he came home!

I was really thankful that nothing further went wrong!

Scrapbooking at Kath's

Was disappointed to find that Kath had not brought any
of my gear out from the shed and as I was half an hour
late it meant that I did not get started till about 10
a.m. Kath had brought her stuff out!

Also Kirsten was at home sick and she hung around me
sulking because she could not help and she was bored!

I was lucky to get one page done and then Kirsten wrecked
it as I had an arrow pointing at the photo and decised to
put black ribbon around the photo and she saw that the arrow
was not pressed down and as I was cutting off a lenght of
ribbon she decided to 'help' by pressing down the arrow!
Of course I then had to try and get it up again to put the
ribbon around the picture and two of the stones came off and
it ended up being an arrow with NO POINT on it! Bad enough
when I wreck a layout but I was really pleased with this one
as every thing was going gerat till then.

I don't think in all the layouts I have done that there is ONE
that I have been 100% pleased with!

Spotlight V.I.P. Sale

Well Kath and I had a ball at the sale. I was very good and
only spend $19, but then I have a lot of materials already.

Kath on the other hand has almost nothing and spent $156 and
now has albums for all the kids foe school and sport plus
enough to do her wedding album.

We can't wait till next Wednesday.

Scrapbooking Wednesdays

Well I have been going to Kath's as planned for scrap
booking, but as yet we have not done one layout. We
have sorted out photos and embellisments and looked
through books for ideas and are now going shopping on
Friday 20th March to stock up at the 40% off sale at
Spotlight.

So it has taken six weeks and 4 visits to get this far
but hopefully next week we can get a few layouts done.

I want to catch up on the events of last year and Kath
wants to do her wedding album and scrap some of those
photos.

Lena's Party

It was a busy day on Wednesday 4th March. First I had gone to the shop to see Audrey, but she did not come over

Audrey Thornton

Cliff's mum had to go to Bendigo in Jan this year to have
surgery done on her left knee, but the doctor noticed she
was walking 'crookedly' and got an Xray of her right knee
which was operated on 13 years ago. The rod that was placed
in her knee had moved and it was causing problems so instead
of replacing the left knee, the doctor had to fix the right
knee.

She spend a week in hospital and then two weeks in a care
facility and then two weeks in Bedigo with friends. She was
preparing to go home when she got a phone call from the
Parkington hospital re her medication. Every year it has
to be adjusted and there was a vacancy for her right away.

So she came to Melbourne. She was only in hospital for a
week and they like the patient to say for at least ten days.
They would not let her go back to Mildura on her own so she
opted to come to Cliff's for a week.

He picked her up on Tuesday 3rd March. Naturally I had to
do the shop all day when he went to pick her up. But worse
I was expecting him back by 2 p.m. but he did not come back
till 4.30 p.m. as he decided to 'go shopping' at the cheap
export placees while he was down there. He never mentioned
this to me before he went!

I was exhausted as I had very little sleep on Monday night.

Coffee (Again)

A couple of weeks (three) ago Coles had a Nescafe special
on their sachet coffee. They now have Mocha and Latte (Slim)
(in other words less fat.) There is also a new variety
Chocolate Mudcake flavour, which is rather like hot Cocoa.

Kirsten, Brody and Lacy loved it, but Karen (Roberts) (like me)
thought it was too 'hot chocolatey.'

Have not done the scapebook project YET, but am organizing my
'paperwork' with Kath over the last couple of weeks and hope to
be able to start doing projects SOON. We may even do a couple
of weeks in a row to get going.

Slacko!

So much for the New Year's promise of doing two blogs a week (min)
and thus eight a month!

I have been so busy getting the PartyLite Business going that I
have neglected my blog, but no more.

More effort will be put into it even if I only write a few lines,
better than no word at all.

It only matters to me as I have no-one following me.

I am certainly not the next undiscovered Shakespeare (thank god,
who can tell what he was writing about anyway..) It really requires
a dictionary to understand what he wrote.

Will that happen to all the present great literature today? In
500 hundred years will no-one be able to understand English from
the early twenty first century? Something to ponder - that is
the trouble with a living language, it grows and chnage.
