Wednesday

Another lovely morning with clear blue skies so can't be bad.

I went to my aqua class and had a really good time. Starting to get to know the ladies now which is nice but they don't go for coffee which is a shame as there is a nice café at the leisure centre.

I had to get home ASAP after class today as the lady from Plumb's Upholstery was coming to see Rene after 11.30 so I rushed home and dried my hair and then went over to Rene's house to wait for her. I stayed till 12.30 but she had not arrived. I tried calling but her phone was off. Really annoying.

I got back home and made lunch for Jon and I and just as I finished I saw a car at Rene's and so I went across. The lady said she had been held up on a difficult measurement but she could have called. Rene was not impressed but she soon calmed down once the lady brought in the material samples. She chose a nice fabric in a light brown which I think will look nice. It is going to cost £224 which seems a lot but she is happy with that and hopefully she will like it and it will make her happy. The lady needs to get a chart made for the measurements as it is not a standard chair so she will come back on Friday to measure and get the deposit. I have written it all down for Rene and hopefully she will remember.

I went back home and then took Totty out for her walk and it seems so mild for the time of year with lovely sunny days.

I then went out to Tesco and as I was on my way I remembered that I had arranged to meet a lady at 4.00 to buy a toy from her that she had advertised on a selling page and as it was now 3.20 I needed to hurry so I was strict with myself and kept to my list and just managed to make it to Waitrose car park to meet her.

She told me she would stand by the trolley park and just as I was heading there I bumped into a friend I haven't seen since I got back. I then saw a lady waiting nearby so rushed over and said 'are you the lady with the frog?' Fortunately, she was! It is in very good condition and works well so I gave her the money and went back to see my friend and we had a chat.

I got back and tried out the frog who is called Tad and made by Leapfrog - all new names for me these new toys! He is very cute and plays songs and says shapes and lights up so I think Riley might like him.

Jon and I had a cup of tea and then I prepared the cake tin to make Jane's Christmas cake tomorrow, preparing the tins takes such a long time, cutting all that paper. Never mind it has to be done.

I tried to call my sister as it is her birthday today but she was not home. I did have a message from her later to say her card and voucher had arrived - phew! One down one to go!

I cooked our dinner and Heather came home just as it was ready.

After dinner we watched TV but Heather went up to her room to catch up with the soaps from last week when she was away.

We had a phone call from Jane about 8.30 to say that she had just had a call from her mortgage man to say it had all gone through! YEAH!!!!! Soooo happy for them and she was so excited. She has not been sleeping at night so hopefully she will tonight. Not sure how long it will take now to complete but the man who is buying their house needs to be out by 21st November so not sue what will happen. I can see I am going to be busy soon helping her pack.
