Life In Threes.......

 
Wasn't the best start to this week, I've now been back on the evil pills for six weeks and the side effects are kicking in. Mainly achy limbs and joints and painful headaches stopping me from sleeping. 

Talking to my two Sister's on our WhatsApp chat Sunday morning it turned out neither of them slept Saturday night either. If we'd known all three of us were lying awake we could have kept each other company online. 

Tuesday first thing I got a phone call from neighbourJM saying she had popped down to the pumps to put some fuel in her car but then her car completely died. Hubby instantly left home to rescue her. He came home once to bring her shopping home so it wasn't sitting in her boot getting warm, he changed the battery in her car key and also took neighbourRW to help him push J's car out of the way. Turned out RW had the right sort of battery pack to give the car enough to make it home. 

After lunch I had a nails appointment. For the most observant worried that I'd said Tuesday when I always have nails on the first Monday, this week Monday was another Bank Holiday. While chatting my nails lady said she didn't like her new car as she didn't understand the dashboard and steering column controls so when Hubby came to pick me up he gave her a full hands on tutorial taking about 20mins.
And for Hubby's third good deed in the same day NeighbourAM came in wanting help with his phone and saving and printing info. 

Between being needed Hubby finished another jigsaw
There wasn't another one waiting to start which was good as Daughter wanted him to change her wiper blades on Wednesday morning as she was feeling a little poorly having had three teeth extracted and Thursday Daughter had a skip delivered and of course Hubby is helping her dismantle a large shed that's falling apart and fill the skip with the walls, roof and all it's contents. 

To confuse my week even more we went out Thursday evening instead of our usual Wednesday, caused by the bank holiday weekend too. We had thought our friendHM was going to join us this week but last minute her work got in the way and she had to cancel and I still went even though paracetamol hadn't got rid of my headache. 

Hubby finished copying the VHS tapes onto DVDs and I wrote on all the boxes and discs (my writing is so much clearer than his) and FriendKK came Friday to collect them. She said a few are now destined to go to her son who can copy from DVD to memory stick so KK can share them. 

Hubby and I rounded the week off by playing our Thursday Jay's Online Quiz on Friday evening. I finished sewing my metal free bra and I gave the two I'd bought that were completely the wrong shape for me to neighbourT and she was thrilled as they fit her perfectly. Now I keep looking at the large laundry boxes I'd painted in my craft room determined to get them finished very soon. 

Enjoy your weekend, my forecast app is saying warm again Saturday but a bit chillier Sunday, and dry so enjoy.
