week 29

What a week that was - all rainy and horrid - it was a real taster for the onset of the winter months and how we need to keep a small but every growing in stature and personality person occupied indoors! We did finger painting, more finger painting, drawing round hands, feet....collages with glitter ! Must get some playdough!


I suffered with a dreadful cold that Nelly had and bad sinusitis, if this had been how she was feeling last week in Anglesey then I can see why she was so miserable! I too felt like pulling people's hair!

The week was made better by Ganka coming back from Bulgaria and doing an amazing cleaning job as usual, we are going to miss her when we move, but she also told me a fab remedy for the pain of sinus problems - Heat rock salt in the microwave, wrap in a napkin and press to the affected area!!!!!!! It worked it was like having my eyes opened.

Following her poorly week we had a few nights of waking in the middle of the night and getting into bed with us, which towards the end of the week turned into her going to bed at 7 30 and then waking at nine thirty and wanting to go to our bed....Time beckoned for that old controlled crying thing otherwise I was never going to get any sleep and shake off that cold! It worked and she was fine.


End of the week we had another trip up to the new house where it was not raining and Nelly and I spent the afternoon cleaning out an old sand pit and filling it with water to use as a paddling pool...It was warm enough for her to run around naked!

really not many pictures to speak of so here are a few.




Bad one of mother and child ! - Oh those sinuses!


With her new car - present from Grandma..
Enjoying one day of sunshine!
