I had the most fantastic post all typed up and ready to publish this morning and would you believe I added just one little html code and poooffff ... everything's gone! It was a brilliantly funny update of my week with my nutcase family .... :D ... such a great start to the weekend ... NOT!
Like last week I've still got the stupid tickly cough, am sat in bed again (RE) typing this post and could have a brilliant headache if I tried hard enough ... the only difference this week is I don't have the gorgeous hot, dripping with butter doorstep toast ... instead its soggy bran flakes sprinkled with sweetener ... not even proper sugar :( As far as the headache is concerned after a spot of self diagnosis I'm convinced its connected to the stupid tickly cough. It's one of those headaches that only hurts when you shake your head or cough. I know the obvious answer is don't shake my head or cough ... but I have to have a little shake and cough to make sure it still hurts ... it does :-S The stupid tickly cough seems worse when I'm tired so I figure an afternoon nap should be prescribed! I-)
Nothing significant happened on the Dad front this week ... not that I want anything significant to happen thanks ... just a mere observation! His youngest brother and wife came for an overnight visit on Wednesday, which perked him up no end but equally tired him out. OMG ... can that man talk? ... It's no great surprise he now has sore lips ... they flapped non-stop until they left ... I'm amazed he's not lost his voice! He was still on top form Thursday evening when we went to take his photo for his blue badge application ... now that had me =)) ... Mum was very cross with him because he wasn't smiling "properly" ... he was chuntering during the whole process asking if we knew the right way to smile cos clearly he didn't know how too! Anyway, we got one before tempers flared, however it wasn't "the one" Mum wanted :|
We had to go shopping again yesterday for Dad ... more thermal vests ... he was specific about them needing to cover his bum ... we also picked him up some thermal slippers. All price tags were removed before he was shown the stuff else we'd have been making a impromptu hospital visit ... I had to have a little sit down myself when I saw the price of the slippers ... £14 ... I'm a Primarni and vintage shop girl myself and used to paying £3 for a pair of slippers!!!
I suppose I better get on with the job in hand really and cut the waffle ... I shall save the photo of my new friend Andrea until tomorrow ;) ... you seriously wont want to miss it!

Chuckling to myself reading your post, parents are such great fun aren't they. I always remove the price tag so hubbie doesn't know how much stuff costs but usually I tell him it is dearer and pocket the difference lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and a sweet sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Teddy Bo
Big hugs
Jill
