Determined

I think the last two days have been one of the most physical challenges Ive ever had, everything is everywhere here, I cant move! once id started ripping wardrobes apart there was no going back ~ i wished at the time i hadn't started it, talk about heavy... i didn't account for how i was going to get the heavy stuff down the stairs did i, or moving metal bunk beds from one end of the room to the other, my fellas usually here when i do stupid things like this... I'm not sure how i achieved that one, but i think i got so annoyed with the mess id made that it created some determination energy so i was able to drag the bugger.

Theres at least a skip full of rubbish outside now to greet my fella when he gets back, but so much stuff prepared thats hitting the boot sale and auction houses Saturday and Sunday, where did it all fit in here?

I know when my fella gets home Saturday I'm going to get one almighty bollocking for doing this but the majority of mess should hopefully be clear by then, hes working away so i cant keep putting it off and I'm an impatient bugger when i get something in my head like clearing out my house .. its a woman thing..

I have to be honest though, I didn't realise how much i was going to find up there today, im not sure i would have tacked that had i have known, but thats another lesson ive learnt... the hard way.....

The most amusing thing ive found so far is a big paddling/swimming pool, still in its packing and sealed ? but I have a shingle garden? I cannot remember when or where i had that mad impulse... but i need my head examined, if it was me... i'll blame him and giggle at that one..lol

Today i decided to pop my head in the attic ~ just so i could see how much was up there .. dont do that anyone, once i became involved with 'oh! whats that' that was it! 7 hours later and poor Sandra nearly worked to death im still up to my neck in crap, baby clothes and all types of wondrous things that we bought/got given or miraculously just appeared in my home.. how many different variations of corksrews do we actually need?

Ive found 9 bin bags of sample items up there i didn't know i even had at all ...

Its come to that part of the night (22.30) that i cant do anymore today, ive had a packet of outer spacers for tea tonight and have hit a brick wall in regards of energy.. im turning to strong coffee and ciggies now to stay awake and know its time to call it a night....

Tomorrows another day ~ hopefully ill wake up energised and get packed whats all round the lounge, kitchen,hall and up the stairs and then if i can find enough motivation start Ryan's room......................

I haven't done this for years ~ but Ive got the feeling this will all feel worthwhile when its done..

Tonight im just feeling knackered ...

Tossing and Turning

What a hellish night, I tossed and turned for hours not able to find sleep, I've got a week like this, its always that first night thats the hardest, it took me ages to get used to him working away then when he came home i couldnt sleep as i didnt have enough room! lol

No seriously it wasn't an easy one, the kids were all yapping away trying to make as much cover up noise as possible but every noise i heard had me shooting out of bed to check, I couldn't have done anymore yesterday to knacker myself out, i didn't stop all day and night, so i guess today I'm just going to have to come up with something else....... yes a bottle of vodkas coming to mind now..

On the good side last nights riding was amazing, Kevin must have felt sorry for me last week (i was so crap) as he put me on Pip, he was so well behaved i just seem to work with this little horse so well, as much as i still like riding the bigger horses best, i have to face the fact I'm not bloody big enough ! Kevin calls it a pea riding a horse, and as much as i try to get these big guys moving its very hit and miss to whether they will or even indeed if they can feel they even have a rider on them.. he says the latter............

I was a bit nervous as theres a guy who works up there and rides the race horses and Ive been told how good he is so guess who comes to watch our lesson.........lol yep! if theres anything that's guaranteed to make you make cock ups its knowing that he was there standing in the spectators area watching us.. Thankfully Pip bailed me out and cantered beautifully for me all night~ i must remember not to lean when I'm going round corners though, too many days spent leaning for England on the back of a Suzuki 750 i should imagine.......lol

Today Ive rallied round the kids to help sort the back garden out, Brandon was a gem yesterday and worked tirelessly on weeding the front garden, it hasn't been done this year and took us 6 hours, i tend to work in the back garden all the time as that's the place i spend most of my time..

I'm hoping to weed the back , plant the new guys in both and then start work on painting the hall.. Just the kitchen to go then..

Ive got the chance of having a semi private lesson on Wednesday at the stables, and if i get this lot done I'm going to take it up, it will be my push to get this lot done so i can reward myself..

I'm missing my fella as theres no one to steal the duvet or snore at me all night ! but at least im getting loads of work done for a change ! I'll be ready for the pun jokes when he gets back ....

Today is going to be a good one as im on a mission , ill post the photos tonight to put some pressure on myself to get it done, i seem to work better when im being pushed but Steves not here to do that for me this week so ill 'do it myself '..... in more ways than one ! lol
