Success!!!


My friend received the groceries this evening, (the poor delivery guy had to haul it all up three flights of stairs to her but apparently did it all in one go)!!!! *L*

She is pleased as punch, particularly as she'd just run out of milk for her lil guy and Pepsi for herself, (had to add some treats for her, she's had a rough time of it since moving to MD).

Bless her! I'm so glad I could do a lil something to help her out and very proud of her other friends, (albeit ones that she's not even met in person) who have taken the time and trouble to get together some other gifts for her and the lil man. They are a wonderful bunch of ladies!

They'll not get to read this blog but they know how much they are treasured for being such warm and wonderful people.

Charity begins at home?


This evening we received not one, not two but three 'begging' phone calls from the cops asking for donations!

Since when have they been a bloody charity? Don't they get paid? Don't they have health insurance? Don't they pay social security and/or have their pensions set up? Don't they have college funds for their offspring?

If they don't it isn't my bloody fault and they should get their house in order!

Good grief! You don't get this sort of crap back in ole Blighty!

I just find it sooooooo irritating!

This piccy expresses my sentiments totally - f%&* off you bunch of scroungers!!!!!

Besides, after shelling out over $500 to get the garage door fixed yesterday I'm not in the most charitable mood, (in case you haven't guessed)!

On a slightly different note, I managed to sort out a nice parcel for my friend, (in need, bless her) and she should be getting it tomorrow so she'd best be in to accept it! *L*

Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall at that moment as she has absolutely no idea what, exactly, is arriving, just that she has to be there for a package and I'll be looking on my birth club forum to check if she's gotten it tomorrow evening!
Now that cheers me up no end and I'm really excited about it!!

Busy, busy!

I don't really have time to be sitting around doing this but I thought I'd best put something down as the post I made yesterday vanished into thin air, (my own fault though)!

I got the dude coming over this afternoon to fix the garage door, (finally - it's been broke since before I moved over here) and I have to get to FedEx to ship a watch off to it's new owner.
I also have to get together a lil care package for a friend of mine who's fallen on hard times. Three of us are sending her some presents and she doesn't know a thing about it! I know we're supposed to be saving our pennies but this gal is running short and her needs are greater right now, particularly as she has a lil one about the lil man's age.
I can't decide whether to get her some gift cards or just go onto the grocery store's site and order her some stuff, (they'll deliver to her door).
Hmmmmm...
If I was in England I'd know exactly what to order but people's tastes are different over here.

Oh well, I'll look more closely at the site later and make a decision. *L*

Hubs is finally back to work - he went back yesterday but almost called it quits due to a mistake that his boss made, (which he later corrected her on) so we're still on schedule and the ticker stays!




He's still in some pain, (particularly as he forgot to take his meds to work with him yesterday) and still kipping downstairs but he is getting better.
Hopefully he'll be much better by next week!

Well, now seems like the best time to get my shower as the lil man is busy watching Nick Jr.

Time to get on with the day! *L*
