It's not very often DH and I get a day to ourselves, in fact we never do, so it was a lovely change.Corey was in nursery all day and Dave was off because he is working on Sunday and so we headed out for the day.We headed off early to Rother Valley for a spot of canoeing. I've never done it before so I was a bit apprehensive as I'm not a huge fan of water.

He was absolutely distraught for a couple of hours and ended up going to sleep for a good hour and a half because he just wore himself out. He's been ok with them today but when i went to pick him up from nursery he was Cathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17188776949968267019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466510.post-16047552060038832042007-08-08T11:00:00.000+01:002007-08-08T11:04:46.604+01:00PicturesI've promised myself i must take more pictures so this morning the camera has been out already.I have been putting off cutting Corey's hair for weeks now and said I would definately do it this morning which i have and here are before and afters lol!

I'm becoming a bit of a boring blogger!Am feeling tired this morning because I had a late night and Corey has been up all night and awake since 520am. He's got some tummy bug i think and keeps going to the toilet. I'm supposed to be going to the doctors this morning and for the 2nd week in a row I'll probably have to cancel.

I blinked and missed it!We did lots of family stuff like going walking and swimming, going to the pictures and spending time at home too. Although i enjoy him being off i am glad when he goes back to work! The house was tidy the weekend before he was off and resembled something out of Tornado afterwards.

Well i've used muscles i never knew i had! Hopefully after doing more this week it will get easier. I've been very good with regards to my food these last few days and can feel the benefits already.

Lots of crafting has been done and my deadlines have been met. I've decorated the kitchen(which is quite big and needed 2 coats of paint) and also tidied the house from top to bottom. Dave is off work next week so i imagine we'll be having a few trips out. Tuesday we're going to York but not sure about the rest of the days.

We have had over 75mm of rain in one day and basically the River Don couldn't hold on any longer and it burst it's banks. the waters rose so very quickly, it caught everyone unaware.

I haven't felt like blogging and still don't if i'm honest but the longer i leave it it will just get worse.So i ordered a fridge freezer from tesco, one of those big American ones. Delivery due on a Wednesday. They arrived about 10am with it. Got it to the door and they dropped it, face down on the concrete. Well it was a complete right off.

I got woken up about 5am by the pelting rain. So my garden makeover and trip to the shops is put on hold until DH comes home. It is nice to not be sweltering though cause it's been really uncomfortable over the last couple of days.So it's ironing and tidying today me thinks although Corey has informed me he wants to do hand printing so Cathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17188776949968267019noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466510.post-73794091788804172632007-06-10T22:36:00.000+01:002007-06-10T23:07:30.190+01:00A lovely weekendYes this weekend has been really fun packed and not at all like my usual boring stay at home weekends(not that i mind them!).Saturday, as DH and Corey were heading out on the bike for more training for the Charity Ride, i headed up to York on the train.
