Nigel No-Mates

This picture really pleases me. I love the fabrics, the colours, the fact that they are all my bags and just the jolliness of it all. It looks kind of summery to me.

Instead of blogging or sewing before I decided to be a good wife and mother and fold the washing. Just look at this pile! Honestly just how many clothes does one have to wear in a week? This photo just doesn't do it justice. The washing trolley was overflowing.

But now we have lovely piles of clean clothes, ready to be placed in drawers, all ready to dirty up again. Sigh!

Now the socks are always a big problem. No. 3 and I played a matching game with them to try and make the job a little more enjoyable. I think I had more fun than she.

And here are the Nigel no-mates! Why does this always happen??? Well actually if you knew our girls, and you probably know some similar, dirty washing is usually scattered all over the show. Just this morning as I was loading the boot with food shopping, I noticed the side drink holders stuffed with a pair of dirty socks. Yuck!

Actually that reminds me of another really gross happening at our house this week. There was a lunch box (which I don't often use) on No. 3's bedroom floor so I picked it up only to discover a very green bread roll inside. I only know it was a bread roll as I remember packing it, oh... about three weeks ago! Poor Daddy opened it to wash it and nearly died from the spores exploding out of the box. Hmmm, better get on top of the girls rooms this week.

And at last we have empty clothes racks. What a lovely feeling. Really it doesn't take much to please me.

This little nook pleases me greatly at the moment. It's by the front door and just perfect for a little play dough session. They look like nice cakes honey!

Now I have to say a big thank you for all your very nice comments about my little house. It really is rather sweet I have to admit. I just wish they were easy to put together or I would make a few more. But sadly I'm not sure any of us are up to the stress right now.

Well considering I haven't had a drink of any kind since 6.30 this morning, and it's now 1.45pm, I think I'll go and sit down with a nice hot cup of tea. It will make a nice change sitting on the sofa during the day! Hope your day is going well for you. Catch up with some of you later on.

Bye for now,

Sarah xxx
