Friday Frivolities

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you`re all having a lovely day. I`ve had another busy day with little chance to rest since I got up. I had to get up at 6am a) because I was going shopping and b) because we had a plumber coming to fix our boiler at 9.  I managed to do all I needed to long before he arrived an hour late, isn`t that always the way?  As it happened I went out with Kerry at 9.30 Jim wasn`t at all happy and thought he wasn`t going to turn up at all.  When he did eventually get here he did a thoroughly excellent job at a good price too, we`ll very likely use him again.

                      

Before we started our shopping Roman had an appointment at the hairdresser.  His hair was getting very long especially at the top, and Kerry wanted it tidied up a bit.  Well, it all started well, after being fussed by everyone there, hairdressers and clients alike, he sat on Kerry`s lap and C, Kerry`s stylist started to snip away.  Then all of a sudden Little Man burst into tears and until she was finished there was no consoling him, bless him.  Once she`d finished though, he was fine and being fussed by everyone again.  I suppose it`s something he`ll get used to but I just hope that he won`t be like Danny who had to have his hair cut at 6 weeks old, so thick and long was his hair.  HE didn`t get used to it until he was about 4 yrs old, and then he really hated it!

 

                                

 

Once in town we knuckled down to some serious shopping.  Kerry was buying herself some new clothes for a change so I tagged along for the ride.  Roman who wasn`t inthe best of moods because he`s teething didn`t like being taken into clothes shops and changing rooms which meant Nanna had to spend a lot of time playing with him.  Well as you know I love my little grandson to bits and I`d do anything for him, but singing and dancing in a busy shopping centre isn`t something that I really wanted to do. But I did anyway and I tried to ignore the amused looks from passing shoppers and launched into a fine rendition of `Pop, goes the Weasel`...lol!  I did manage to but the two new lampshades for the hallway at a VERY reasonable price, just £5 each and they are just perfect.  They are faux suede just like the curtains I`ve ordered and I know Jim will like them too.  After walking around town for several hours we went to Marks&Spencers for our weekly cappuchino and Roman`s lunch, then it was homeward bound with sore feet and in my case backache!

                   

One thing I did forget to but however was....the rat-trap!  I must ask Jim to buy one soon before there is another generation of the flippin` things running around my garden.  Goodness knows how I managed to forget, I keep looking outside to see if I can catch a glimpse of it.  Maybe it`s moved away to pastures new, I do hope so because then I can avoid killing it and let someone else be guilty of it...lol!  Anyway my friends, I hope you all have a lovely weekend.  I`m off to read your journals now as I have a few hours on here undisturbed as Jim is on late shift.  Bye Bye for now and take care. :o)
