Busy busy busy

Wow, this weekend, I have kept myself really busy, spent friday night over at Heathers, was suppose to be scrapping, but spent half of the night chatting and surfing the web, did manage to get one page of a CJ done though, had ordered in a few books and got the Elsie Flannigan book in, I'm sorry to have to say this, but I will not be able to stop singing the praises of this book for months, it is flipping brilliant, It is set into challenges, 52 in total, and I must have done 6 already all on the one layout, plus scraplifted one of her layouts in the process, hee hee. I love her work, I love how free if feels and yet so well put together, I'm not doing it any justice in my description, sorry.

Anyway, back to me, (me, me, me) Saturday I was rudely awoken by my roofer, who had come to try yet again to fix the leak, he brought the joiner with him, which set Gerry off on one, as it was the same joiner who had done work the previous year but never finished any of it and never returned whenever he promised too. So Gerry in his wisdom decided he would not talk to him, and I was left like piggy in the middle to sort out the holes that had to be knocked in all over the house. They have made 4 holes in total and its so clear to see how bad the water damage is, we have damp and mould everywhere, we can't use the front door anymore, because the smell is so bad. Have no idea to the extent of the damage, but will find out soon enough as the specialist are here tomorrow to do a full inspection and report. Nipped over to Bothwell to see my friend Anne, she was working in a clients clothes store to help her out. Ending up spending a fortune whilst there as loads of cute little shops with the most adorable clothes. Finally went home and finishing the CJ entry and then started on a larger scale version of a previous entry I had done for another CJ. Sunday, was lazy day, spent it dozing on the sofa. Which brings me to today, been to work and thats been the highlight of my day.

I'm trying so hard at the moment to give up smoking, but am so desperate to run out to the shop to buy some, hence why I've waffled so much on here, trying to keep myself busy, so I'm off to dig out paperwork for my tax return in an effort to take my mind off it, but think it might have the opposite effect when I get stressed out when I can't find everything I need.

Take care of yourselves.
