Seems like my life is not my own these days. It has been such a busy week. As Heather is all bandaged up on one hand I have had to do a lot more for her over the last few days and we are back to washing her hair over the bath, a lot of years since I have done that!
I just don't seem to get my own things done these days as I am always 'doing' for someone else and my classes get pushed down the list of priorities and I am not sure how to sort it as there is always so much to do.
I did intend to go to my class this morning but I had to go and take some parcels back to return to Amazon and then Heather's friend, who is a beautician, was coming over to do her nails and my eyebrows and I needed to buy dog biscuits so it all became a bit of a rush and no time for my class.
Once Abi left we went to Thetford as we had arranged to meet Jane and Jason and Riley there to go to Lidl a supermarket that had a special offer on children's wooden toys and we have never been to a Lidl before.
It is a good drive to Thetford and once they complete the new dual carriageway, not much more to do, it will be very easy. Lidl was full of Christmas goodies and we had a good shopping spree and bought some nice things.
We then went to the café at Sainsbury's to have a late lunch and I gave Riley a bottle while we were there. He is now in his sit up pushchair as he was too long for the carrycot part and he loves looking around and can see what is going on. We then went to have a look around the clothes as we all like Sainsbury's clothes.
As it was a dull afternoon it was getting dark by 3.30 and so I said we needed to leave so that I would not have to drive in the dark.
We arrived home just as Kirsty was getting there and then Jon, back from Derby, soon after followed by James.
I cooked dinner for Jon and I as we were all going to the pub quiz down the road but the girls were eating in the pub.
We walked down the road and it was a very cold night. Kirsty has a bad back and had been for a sports massage so it was a bit of an effort for her to walk but she managed it.
Our team was Roger and Mary and Ian and Hilary and Jon and I. The girls were Jane, Kirsty and Heather, James and two girl friends. It was a really hard quiz this time but after a tie breaker between second and third we came second which I thought was pretty good. I also won a nice raffle prize of a Champneys gift set, Mary won a lovely jug, Heather won a gift set and Jane a lovely hand knitted blanket. Poor Hilary got the last prize and it was a horrible necklace which she wanted to leave on the table but gave to Heather to make her hand better!!!
Unfortunately, Jane had had to rush off home as Jason called to say Riley was crying and very upset and he couldn't calm him. She had to rush back up Centre Drive as she had left the car at our house and then drive home. I had a text from her later to say he had fallen asleep by the time she got home but she was upset that he had been so upset.
I was too tired to blog.
This morning I made sure I was up early and got stuck in to doing all my backlog of washing.
I went over to see Rene to change the dressing on her foot. It looks much better but still not healed so not sure how much longer we have to keep dressing it. I think I will have to call the surgery and have a chat with them.
Jane was at the house when I got back. She had dropped Jason at his mum's as they were going to a funeral. Jon had made her a coffee from our new machine.
I had a lovely morning with Riley and I gave him a bottle on my lap this time and not while he was in his pushchair. He was so cuddly and snuggled up to me. I changed his nappy and he just loves lying with no nappy on.
Jane and Heather were going to Bury and Jane put his outdoor suit on. It is a lovely navy bear outfit with ears on the hood and he looks so snug in it and very, very cute.
Once they had gone I did some housework and made lunch and got my washing dried and generally cleared away all the mess that has built up over the last few days.
I went to Tesco to buy all the food that Heather needs for her dinner party on Saturday. She was going to cook it all herself but now I will have to cook it tomorrow and leave it ready for her as we are going away. She will have enough friends over to give her a hand - literally! They have also booked a spa day but not sure how she is going to manage with that as far as the swimming pool is concerned.
Rene has been asking for a jam and cream donut and I finally found one today for her in Tesco and took it over to her but I didn't stay.
I came back and had a cuppa and did my ironing and then Heather came back and we watched I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here as we recorded it last night.
We had dinner and watched some TV.
I need to go to bed now as Heather is going in to work tomorrow as she has interviews but she needs to go on the train so I need to take her to the station.
