Good to hear from you hun. And your house renovations sound fab. I know what you mean about the lotions and potions mine are the same, they somehow manage to get everywhere no matter how careful you are.Sorry to hear you've had a major flare up hopefully it will sort itself out soon. Hope Tuesday goes OK, well as OK as there things can.
I am loving being able to actually not have to worry about how I am going to pay for the renovations, just had my sister in law around to discuss about the flooring and they are happy to get that on the go as soon as we are ready to have it all done, so super excited about that too.
I did laugh this morning, I bought the paint for the bedroom walls some time back and was convinced it was a deep chocolate brown, so this morning mal got it out of the shed, tipped it up to give it a bit of a shake up and the lid wasn't on properly and it went everywhere lol so Mal needs new jeans and trainers, handy that as we were wondering what to get for Fathers day, but the funny thing was the paint was a reddish brown not the colour I wanted at all, so mal got a little peed about that and then had to go buy more, phoned my brother to see if he still had his account at the paint mixing shop that he buys all his trade paints from, because it's £15 for 2.5L cheaper than anywhere else and he said yeah order what you want and they'll send me the bill so I just bought about £150 worth of paint etc and he's just told me he won't take the money for it, I hate ordering from there for that reason, I know he can afford it more than I can but I am fiercely independent, I am happy to accept the flooring as it would take me forever to save up and I'm not one for getting credit, but this I can afford, so I will get my own back and buy him some of his expensive wine and ports that he likes lol. £150 will just about buy 2 bottles of his wine or port
how the other half lives eh! lol Good job I'm not a big drinker then :giggle:
The funeral is at 10am on Tuesday, I suggested we went down Monday during the day and stay in a hotel overnight, but Mal won't have it.
I think it's a long journey when you're as emotional as he is and too much to do there and back in one day.
Had a good result with the flowers for the funeral, I am not one for buying flowers as a rule I would sooner donate to charity, but Tony Mal's brother in law would like flowers as Margaret was such a keen gardener and absolutely loved flowers always had a house full.
So we rang a florist close to where they live, she has an online site so we were able to see what she did, and they were fantastic.
We'd been to our local florists and while the flowers were quite a bit more expensive they were still ok but sending Teleflora was going to cost somewhere in the region of an extra £30+ per item, we had a single ended spray picked out from Kelly and her family, Kirsty wanted to send the Basket and Mal originally wanted to send a pillow but changed his mind as he had sent the pillow to his Mum and then went for the Initial M instead, in our local florist they wanted with Teleflora over £200 for those 3, we got them from this local florist to my brother in law for £81.50. she is also sending the girls pictures of what she made on their behalf as they can't make the funeral and doesn't charge for delivery either for funerals and her site had so many beautiful testimonials too, she also has a facebook page and has wonderful feedback. Taught me a big lesson, don't use local shops when you can ring them direct and save a fortune, I said to Mal the £100+ we saved on the flowers I'd like to donate to our local peace hospice or if Tony would prefer his local one.
Anyways lovely, I am off ...dinner is ready so I'll catch you laters be good ...luff ya xxx:hug99:xxx
