Up at 3am to see my beautiful MIL off to the airport and back home to Vic. She has been with us for 2 weeks after her hubby (my FIL) passed away almost a month ago. She came home with us after the funeral and has rested, and hopefully is heading home feeling better. Well...as better as you can after losing your husband of almost 60 years. She has more colour in her cheeks and has loved my cooking (whew! - but she easily pleased and willing to try anything) and we have had a lovely couple of weeks with her here.
So I might have a little nanny nap this arvo!
Or go for a ride on my neglected spotty horse.
Or start on that list of "things to do before Chrsitmas"....

I'm sure your MIL would have appreciated staying with you Nikkit, it will take some adjusting for her now. 
Maddy, I hope you can get it all sorted with the bank.  Did paypal contact you or did the bank?

Putting my feet up now after a hectic day at the school fair. Defrosted cake last night, iced it this morning, got to school before 9 to find absolute chaos at Dutch pancake stall - couldn't find eggs & milk! Eventually tracked them down, helped make 10lt batch of mix & set up stall, then more helpers arrived so moved onto strawberries & cream stall (The school allocates a stall to each class) - wasn't rostered on but someone didn't show up. Next shift arrived, so grabbed something to eat, tracked down kids made sure they were fed & watered, bought a couple of things then started my bar shift. Very hot here today so I was flat out for next 2 1/2 hours, bar ran out of water, ice, they bought more in, water ran out again in about 1/2 hour! Was very impressed that most kids wanted water rather than soft drink. Beers were popular with grown ups too!
They wanted me to stay at bar after my shift, but kids were tired so we came home after having another look around the fair. Out of bread so I have some happy Hally bread rising, but I'll be ordering pizzas in for dinner tonight!
A girlfriend is coming around later for a few drinks - says she needs to let off steam, could be dangerous!
Sorry for the essay - needed to debrief.😃

LOL!  :D :D

Today I have cleaned all my windows inside and out, washed the drapes and re-hung them, Cooked and served breakfast & lunch, done washing and dishes, took the kids to the park for a while, then had an afternoon sleep! Now about to cook dinner for the tribe!  :D
