Sunday night in

We were due to be going out tonight, but it has been called off.  We could still go but we were really only going out to enjoy the company rather than the show.  So we might pop into town to get a bite to eat and then come home for the footie.

It has been a busy weekend, the children are both away, our daughter is with her boyfriend who lives in Minehead.  Our son at the mud bath on the Isle of Wight for the festival.  We decided in our wisdom to go to the estate agent and have arranged for them to come round on Tuesday, it is possible that they will take the photos then so we have been manicly sorting things out, more trips to the dump, but gladly no puncture this time.  Rob is concerned that the agent will recommend that we get the mini and the trailer off the drive, trailer is not a real problem but the mini is a real issue, we need to move in order to get the mini on the road, and need to get the mini on the road to be able to move, a real catch 22 situation.  We will see what he says when he comes.  The mini wouldn't put me off .... but I am not buying this house.  We need to move as our house is not big enough for six adults. We have seen several houses that we would like to view, but not until there has been some interest in ours.  I am trying to stay optimistic.  As I try to with most things, it can be very difficult at times though.  I now have two teenage taxi drivers but it does now mean that three of us are sharing one car, that is also not ideal.  Will keep you informed for those of you who are interested.  Any of you wanting to help me out with any of my difficulties just leave me a comment at the bottom.  You see optimism abounds!

Yay driving test passed!

Yay my son passed his driving test yesterday, second time, but really pleased about it.  Just need a little car to share with him now, Millie the mini isn't going to be ready anytime soon with this weather, and no inside space.  Not sure how we are going to manage with three of us sharing my daughters car, especially if she gets a job in Taunton. 
Had a few tears last night and this morning as he has now headed off to the Isle of Wight festival, and weather is forecast for rain all weekend.  He is going to be very wet and smelly when he gets home on Monday, but can't wait to see him anyway.  My beautiful daughter has just finished all her exams and now just has leavers assembly and prom to do next week.  Looking forward to having a photo taken with her in gorgeous gown.
Might even get it posted on here.

No Quitter

I feel a little like I have had the wind taken out of my sails a bit.  When we went to the consultants appointment this week, it turns out that the chemo has not diminished the lesions as much as they wanted it to.  However, on the plus side the ct scan did show that there is nothing life threatening at the moment, and as Rob pointed out if that was the only thing they had said I would have been delighted.  Am really getting itchy feet now, am dreading being in this street in the holidays, unfortunately the house I really wanted has been withdrawn from the website.  I am hoping that maybe it is changing seller?  There are a few others that I am interested in but they all have a compromise, and that one had the least compromise, and four bedrooms too.  I have almost completed the last assignment for this year, and am feeling quite pleased with myself, considering the fact that I almost gave up before I started due to this diagnosis.  I have discovered this year that I am no quitter!

Well things haven't quite gone to plan, the driving test was not passed, there were only four minors but one major, which actually wasn't a bad major.  I think this is because there hasn't been alot of practising going on, Kakes is working evenings so her car isn't here, and Mattie is working in the day so he isn't here when the car is!  Mattie made the mistake of asking Rob if he could buy another mini, one that is roadworthy, now Rob isn't alking to either of us.  Mattie has been so patient waiting for Millie to be ready, she has been sat on the drive a whole year now, and is still not roadworthy, it is difficult when the weather is against us.  Now I am not sure that Rob will ever work on her again, after the reaction last night.  I can't blame Mattie all he wants to do is drive, and it is depressing walking past poor Millie every day.  The house still isn't on the market either, we have been trying to de clutter but have hit a bit of a block with that too.  Rob can't have half term off because someone beat him too it.  It has been great being back at school but with everyone working next week I am still going to be stuck at home again, just as I was stopping feeling like a convict, next week will be back to the old normal.  I think it is time for things to start going right for me, please!!!!!
