I popped to the supermarket with the boys for just a few items.
I had bundled the boys into the car and as we set off Seb asked me where we were going today. Think he was a bit disappointed to realise that what he expected to be a fun day out was actually just another trip to the shops.
We went in just t-shirts and sweaters and as we came down the heavens opened up with a down-pour of torrential rain . . . so we all got a bit soggy.
Couldn't really arrange to do anything else today as I had to wait in for the washing machine repair man to come this morning.
And this afternoon I had another Physiotherapy appointment at the clinic.
I baked a cake for my friend Mitch (Michelle) from work. She had asked me to bake her a carrot cake which is not something I have ever baked before. I looked up a couple of recipes and ended up amalgamating two so hopefully it will turn out OK.
It has a cream cheese frosting - I don't eat cream cheese so can't say I fancy it myself but apparently it is Mitch's favourite . . . but perhaps not the way I have cooked it!?!
Words of doom from the repair man. After two hours hard graft, trying in vain to fix my washing machine, he pronouned it well and truly dead and beyond all hope of repair. I had to fork out to pay him and still have no machine : (
I have been ferrying loads of washing to and from my mum's house for the last week. Bless her - Mum has been amazing at not only washing load after load for us, but drying it and often even ironing some for me too.
It is so frustrating when something you rely on so much, is out of action for any length of time.
Now we have the hassle of having to decide which model of machine to buy next and obviously have to find the money for it too!
As I was washing up I dopped a dinner plate and smashed it to smithereens.
My visit to the physiotherapist didn't enhance my mood.
Despite eight weeks of physio I am seeing little improvement. My physio Cairra thinks I have improved my muscle strength but can see I am still in a lot of pain and am unable to do any weight bearing exercises. She has now referred me to a colleague who is more of a knee specialist to see if there is anything more that more physio can do to benefit me.
Wasn't really sure what the options are if the answer is no!
Lamb and vegetable kebabs today - they look quite nice but without the potatoes I was forced to rifle the freezer to try and find something to go with them.
I seem to have lots of frozen meat, garlic bread and icecream but not a lot else.
Hence today's special - Lamb Kebabs and Vegetable Spring Rolls . . . mmm . . .
I know - not the ideal combination but when needs must!
Today has been one of those days when I just want to crawl under my duvet and have a good sob!!
