I am pleased that it is Friday and the end of the working week.  This has been my first week back at work after 3 weeks of holidays.  The problem with holidays is that no-one does the work – it is just there for when you get back.  I have spent most of the week catching up and am now pretty well back where I want to be.

Despite being busy with paid work, I have managed to achieve a few things.  We ate meals cooked from scratch each night for dinner and The Duke and I both took our lunch to work each day.  I bought and posted books to a friend, made a hair appointment for next week, had some medical tests, mended the hem of a beach towel, did 2 loads of washing, took a bag of stuff to the op shop, picked up some framing, stripped and changed the bed.

Tomorrow I will need to do a big basket of ironing, clean the kitchen and get stuck into the sewing for Miss O and Izz that is on my list from things to do before Sunday.  Speaking of Miss O and Izz, I managed to pick up some bargains at the op shop yesterday.  A gorgeous denim dress for Izz,while for Miss O I found a ‘hoodie’ and a pair of summer jeans.  They have been washed are are on the line at the moment but I will post some photos tomorrow.  All of the items are in excellent condition and cost less than $16 for the 3 things.
