Friday was a really lovely day, finally pried the lawnmower out the cellar and decided to cut the grass, well I got the front done but it took me ages. Afterwards me and Chris took the girls to Drumpellier loch where we fed the ducks, swans and geese and walked around the loch (its just over 1 mile all around) I had put on my new shoes, what a bad idea that was! Especially as I never put any socks on with them, my heels and toes are covered in cuts and blisters and are so sore, I look like an old lady when trying to walk! Must be a glutton for punishment though as today I put them back on for a while, need to break them in somehow! Brogan stayed at my grans Friday night, gave me sometime out from the two of them. I dropped Chris off at the train station for work them when I got home got Violet off to bed, should really have went them myself as I was tired but ended up online till half 1 so been shattered most of today.
Violet had me up from 7am, I was so tired got up fed her, changed her nappy then let her play in her cot till about 10am so I could try get some more sleep, spent most of the time listening to her gibbering away to herself, I love listening to her its so cute. We got up and ready at 10am then went a lovely walk around the village with her in her sling, she loved it as could see everything, the only time she didn't was when we were back in the street heading to the house as the wind was blowing in her face. Violet was really sicky all day, she suffers from relfux so always sick bt today it was really bad, she had been playing on her gym and it went everywhere in her eyes, ears all over her hair, the poor wee soul wish I could take it away from her, soon we had to pick Brogan up from my grans after we got back I decided it was time to tackle the nightmare of my back garden!!!
Violet went for her nap, Brogan went out to play so I decided to sort out the back garden, it massive about 25m long & 8-9m wide, and totally neglected last year! Was clearing away sone dead plants from the bottom of the garden and found a tree growing, I never had a tree so dont know where it's came from, just goes to show how much I neglected it last year! I also found a dead mouse, yuck! Wouldn't have minded if it were alive but not dead, it ended up in the big pile of dead plants which I decided would be quicker to burn than clear away! Cut all the grass twice as well so it looks alot better now, just lots of dead patches will need to get lawn seed sort it out as I want it to be nice for Brogan and Violet to play in during the summer. It started to rain just as I finished so that was lucky. Violet was just getting up from her nap when I came in, I made Chris get up with her so I could lie down for an hour, not that I got piece as Violet knew I was in the next room and kept shouting and being really noisy they whole time, when he brought her into me after the hour she gave me the biggest smile and was then quiet! the little cheeky monkey, she is such a mummy's girl right now.
You would think that after I done all the garden Chris would help out with the dinner or the housework but nope I was left to do it again, getting really sick of him not helping out around the house, he leaves everything at his feet and never tidies anything up, we keep arguing over it, he keeps promising he will help, and still Im left to do it all.
So glad the spring break holidays finished and Brogan back to school on Monday, gives me sometime to sort the house out as its a mess, the house is too small and we have too much stuff it driving me crazy! Need to see if the council will give us a bigger house, cant afford to privately rent the prices are just insane, about £550 per month for a 3 bed in a nice area, we only pay £230 a month to the council so that jump is massive for us! One right now we cant afford.
Between my feet from the shoes and my back from the gardening and walk with Violet in her sling my body is aching all over! Hope it feels better tomorrow.
