I have decided I am giving up trying and worrying, it is just truly not worth the effort. Just two examples are trying to transfer funds from FNB 3 times, and of course my luck, it just does not work, whether the website is down or what I don't know. I tried to phone my mom and of course she was not there, so have not yet had a chance to speak to her this weekend. Trying to satisfy everyone all the time is just not possible so now I am only able to do what I am able to do!!!!
My weekend started off with the most wonderful facial that I had, compliments of my mom for my birthday. It was so stunning and relaxing that I have in fact booked another one for next month. THANK YOU MOM!!
This morning Rob was up first and I had specially bought him bacon and eggs for breakfast, so he started cooking the bacon whilst the kids were still asleep. Needless to say the smell wafting down the passage woke them up and they both came stumbling through.
Even the animals for hanging around for breakfast and James started playing with Mickey and Jess with a piece of grass and Jess, even though she is heavily pregnant was pouncing around like an agile kitten.
Rob spent the weekend building our new study desk and shelves. It took a little longer than he expected since the walls when plastered where plastered skew, meaning the wood he had had cut to specific size, didn't fit, so after much sweat and tears and breaking the wall, he forced it to fit.
Unfortunately the guy that is supposed to come and fit our skirting boards, has still not pitched up, although he has cut them all to size already. Only once he has done the skirting, can we start to pack everything back into the cupboards, so will have to follow up with him tomorrow.
This has been the weekend of roast dinners, we have had roast chicken, roast lamb and roast beef this weekend, trying to get Rob filled up on home cooked meals and the boys would probably have shot me if I served them just plain chicken and vegetables again.
Well we still wait for Jess, who is getting not much bigger, just her belly is getting harder and harder, her nipples are huge already, so it must be soon that she is going to pop. James has been making her little nests all over the house, but as fast as he makes them, Mirriam comes along and cleans everything up. The latest one was taking all Rob's jerseys out of his drawer and chucking them on the floor, lining the drawer with blankets and plonking Jess in it. But tonight he has found a huge big box from the study chair that he is going to create as a nest.
Chris has started studying for his exams this weekend, not sure that it was highly productive, as he kept getting pulled away by Rob to help him with the study since I have done something to my back and was not able to help him lift things today.
The gardener was today supposed to have worked for free as payment for the washing machine that he got from Gran, but they arrived at work and at about 12h30 came to Rob and told him they had to leave early as they had a wedding to attend. As you can imagine, Rob went ape at them.
As you can see here, he was having a little think time in front of the PC. He also had to do a project on democracy and chose to do it on the Suffragette's - now for those of you that don't know what those are, Gran was able to help us out there. They are the group of ladies that fought for the right for women to vote in the late 1800's. He did it in the form of a newspaper and it looks really good.
Gran has now had the cataract op on both her eyes so now looks like quite the glamour girl as you can see here in her 'silk' gown. Can you imagine, if she can look this good at 11am in the morning (yes 11am and she is still wondering around in her gown) THE LIFE OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS!!! She looks amazing when she's dressed.
Rob and Gran (and of course Mickey) after our roast chicken.
