Still have a 'FUN' time here!!!! Amy's cough is starting to slowly get better. Sophie is going through a stroppy time at the moment and driving me NUTS!!! It's STILL raining and has been on and off since the school holidays started. My friend Lorianne and her boys plus mum and dad were due to visit today but Lorraine phoned last night and her eldest has a throat infection... mum is still getting migraines and now has a bad back!
Yesterday, Sophie decided it would be fun to jump up and down on Amy's bed, the bed broke but when I asked what the noise was she said it was nothing! Then when I went upstairs she said Amy would not go to bed and she was just sorting out the bed??? Then at 1:30am when I went in to Amy (cough) I nearly fell through a hole in the bed!
I was not a happy bunny!!! In the morning I told Sophie she had to strip the bed so I could try and fix it .....(is the a reason I'm telling you all this I hear you ask?...YES I'm getting to it!) I then made her re make it when it was fixed!
Anyway last night I noticed that the valance was squiffy so this morning I straitened it up (now the reason for my story) while doing this I knocked Amy's water bottle off her cabinet onto my toe and.......YEP! I broke it! My toe that is not the bottle!!!!
On a more positive not a new lady has come to live with me (Yes, she is on the pre ordered list)









Takeo is very happy with the new girl!

Sophie is all better now so Amy decides it's her turn, not Swine Flu but a very bad cough!!!
Tuesday we went DIY shopping for the garden and lunch at Pizza Hut. This is opposite TRU and as Amy had been so poorly we had a quick visit! Amy wanted a wheelbarrow (so she can help Papa) and a drink bottle with Amy on it. Sophie her mothers daughter LOL wanted a HSM gift set and a HSM glasses case. Well, HSM is in the same isle as Barbie so I had to go and look!!!! They had two fashion sets that I had seen (and wanted) on the board so....... I brought them with some of my birthday money! I don't think this is braking DCT as it was gifted money?   







Oh, and while I'm talking birthday look at these wonderful flowers my friend Lorraine's son brought me for my birthday


the vase was another birthday gift from my mum.




Today both girls had a hospital appointment to see the Optometrist but this was not until 3:30pm so we went to the Gallaria (discount shopping mall) they have a TK Max so we had a bit of a shop! New school bag for Sophie a new outfit for when she see's her grandparents on the 13th plus a couple of new tops. A coat for Amy and a pretty scarf that she would not put back!Me? nothing for me but I did buy three photo frames, three funky cushions and a lamp!!!
Then it was time for the hospital Sophie eyes have not changed so she just needs new glasses as spares but Amy.... her pinpoint cataract that won't grow any bigger has!!!! So now we need to go to Gt Ormand St to see a specialist and she might have to have it removed!!!

I'm in to double figures! Quite a mile stone!
I got the best birthday gift this evening ...my mum phoned and sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. Her migraine has finally gone! I phoned the doctor this morning and he arrived at lunch time. I insisted that he had to give my mum a different prescription, he did. Dad went and collected it and then he came back to my house so mum could sleep! It would so hopefully she will be well enough to come out for lunch tomorrow. It's there wedding anniversary 53 years I think?
No time for anything else and I don't think there will be much time tomorrow either and the Sunday mum will be cooking the dinner we should have had yesterday.

Well today did not go quite to plan! It's my birthday (48) and the plan was
spend to morning with my girls, dad plays golf and then go to mum and dads for dinner late afternoon. Plus, presents naturally LOL
So started out OK had a nice lay in 9:45, then we went down for breakfast and open my cards plus my present from me to me! Then my mum phoned she sounded dreadful and I thought something had happened to my dad...or her. She said she had a migraine had taken some pills (Migraine pills from doctor) and would phone my when she was feeling better in a couple of hours! She sounded soooo bad but I thought it best to leave her to sleep it off. She phoned a couple of hours later still sounding dreadful! I was so worried so gave the girls lunch and decided after lunch to go check on her. Then my dad phoned really worried so I harried the girls and we went to my mum's. She is in so much pain I phoned the doctor who said there was nothing could be done until the meds she had taken had warn off!!!! Tomorrow! So checking on mum again I decided to take the girls home and told dad to follow on as mum needed the quite. So we went to The Goat for dinner. We did have a lovely meal but I had to pay!LOL Dad phoned when he got home to say mum is still the same! I can only hope she feels better tomorrow!
As to my gifts....

My duck from Sophie and Amy

I almost cracked. Some wonderful dolls and outfits posted this week and someone in another group posted this
link
and this
link
I sooooo want these dolls!
Not a lot going on at the moment the girls have broken up for the summer holidays now.
Sophie was so tired I thought it best we take it easy for a couple of days!She's fine now.
Then mum started showing signs of Flu so we decided to not do a lot this week! She was just under the weather for a couple of days and is now fine.
Tomorrow is my birthday so mum is cooking me dinner. Then on Saturday we are going to The Goat (village pub) for lunch with my best friend Lorraine and two of her boys Kevin and Stewart. The eldest Daniel is off with his friends as one of them's 18!
As you might have noticed I've been posting new episodes of The Priors ....hope you have been enjoying them?
Marna posted some lovely pictures today of the babies and that got me sorting out my 'babies'
I found my Shelly/Kelly's and my Stacie's and Todd's. They had all been on display at my old house so I decided they all needed a bath and clothes washed so now I have a big box of nakkid dolls awaiting baths and hair washing! BUT I did get around to re dressing Lizzi and Lotti not that the little tike's would behave!

A bit more about The Priors...UNCUT!...Coming soon...>>>

So now I'm going to have a sulk and go to bed with my copy of Haute Doll!
No pictures tonight as I can't get anything to DAM WELL WORK!

Been writing like a mad woman for the last couple of days! The ideas for The Priors just keep on coming? People keep telling me I should write a book!!!! LOL Yeh, right!!!!
I went out to dinner with my friend Lorianne tonight we went to the local village pub and had a lovely meal! It's a sort of pre birthday pre kids breaking up from school for six weeks and driving us NUTS meal!!! We try to go out once a month and we go there with my mum and dad and all our children for special occasions.
On a completely different subject Godfrey found this yesterday it looks like a giant butterfly? Anyone know what it is?





This one has Amy's hand in it to show scale!

Not posted for a while! So lets start with a Sophie update...well she is doing fine, going back to school tomorrow YAY!!!! Amy seems fine now too so it back to school for her too! YAY! YAY! YAY!!!!
Don't get me wrong I love my kids but 24-7 is to much for even me! Dad's going to the doctors tomorrow I don't think he has the flu but a bad cough and major indigestion? So far so good for mum! My friend Lorianne phoned me on Thursday to tell me her son (he goes to the same school as Sophie) had a letter from the school saying that 14 children could go to the film premier of Harry Potter on Wednesday! Well I phoned the school on Friday and got Sophie's name on the list! She is so looking forward to it!
Today we went to the village Fate. It was a last minute thing as I was not sure if Sophie would be up to it! She was fine we only stayed about a hour but the girls enjoyed it!


Sophie and Amy with Mini Me

Amy on the bouncy castle

On the doll front I received my Barbie Special Magazine from FDQ and Haute Doll magazine plus a book called In The Pink by Brigitte Starr all are very good and I can't wait to read them properly!
I paid for me FR club doll this week as well. Oh, and a doll I forgot I had ordered Akane I paid for her too so I should have some new dolls arriving soon!(once The Evil Customs have got hold of them and I pay the ransom that is)
I just finished Episode 20 of The Priors so I will be posting that tomorrow.

I received the FDQ Barbie special today>>>

It's a wonderful read! Take me back to the good old days when we had Barbie Bazaar and Millers. You open it KNOWING every page is just for you! Don't get me wrong I enjoy FDQ and Haute Doll but there are a lot in there that I don't collect plus some that I would like to but would then take me in a whole new direction (BJD's & the bigger dolls) I like my Barbie sized dolls and Barbie will always be my #1! So thank you FDQ I'm one happy bunny!

Well, it's been a fun couple of days....NOT! So you all know Sophie has been poorly with Swine Flu, the same symptoms as I had a couple of weeks ago so I guess I had it too! They say it is only those that have underlying problems, mainly respiratory or heart! I have Asthma and Sophie has a bad heart so we both tick the box! But we made it through ...me without the help of doctors and Sophie is OK now the medication has kicked in. So I guess it's not as bad as the media make out in most cases? On that note I would just like to say if anyone gets a bad cough and then a high temperature GET THE TAMIFLU it only works if you use it in the first couple of days they say? Although saying that it was Sophie's 3rd day....so who knows? So far Amy has a cough and a bit of diarrhea but is playing and eating well with no temperature. I think it's the temperature that makes it nasty? Dad also has a cough but no other symptoms, so far mum is OK! But they know what to look out for and what to do!
So now onto other things...have you checked out my latest episodes of The Priors
Hope you are enjoying it?
Yesterday I got a gift from Barbara, she had read my post on needing pants for my guys and sent me three pairs! I just love the people onDoll Divas!


New jeans for Peter so now he can get out of his wedding clothes.


Speed is much happier in these pants ...the white ones are a little 'showy'


Pierre love his new beige pants they match his holiday shirt so well
The only other news I have is the workmen started on my garden cementing the area where the pool is going Monday the arrived a little late as he got stuck in traffic picking up a mixer... this then blew up and he had to wait for another this arrived with the wrong base so he had to wait for another! Meanwhile it started to pour with rain so in the end they had to give up for the day. Tuesday they arrived early and worked really hard then in the afternoon we had a MASSIVE storm. The newspapers say we had 3 months in one day??? Some areas had the worst rain since records began. So in the end he had to give up! Today Wednesday I think the electrics had got wet and when they tried to start the mixer they fused the house. So a three day job will take about a week! But how ever long it takes they will still get the same money!
So that's it for now....chat tomorrow 

Sophie Update...

Posted by Susannah on July 8, 2009 at 3:16 PM Comments comments (0)
Sophie had a very good night did not wake me at all! I woke from a deep sleep to the door bell (workmen) and it was 8:45. I panicked a bit and in that jolted from sleep state thought Sophie was dead or something! I went rushing in shouting "Sophie are you all right" to be greeted with a VERY grumpy (from being woken up) "of course I am!" Now shes had a bath and washed her hair and is sitting practicing her hand writing while Amy watches cartoons on TV!

Sophie Update....

Posted by Susannah on July 7, 2009 at 12:24 PM Comments comments (0)
Thank you so much for all your words of support both on the board and the private messages.
Well, it was a rough night but Sophie finally fell asleep about 2.30. So I got a little rest too! Today she appears to be a little better she fades about the time for her meds and the rallies again so I guess they are working?
Dad is still coughing as is Amy but as yet no temperature which is good. Mum at the moment is OK. But the first sign of anything changing I will insist on the meds!
Again thank you so much for your prayers and positive thoughts....there working!

NDR....I can't say anything to my mum and dad but I'm worried sick about Sophie...>>>

Posted by Susannah on July 6, 2009 at 12:22 PM Comments comments (0)
Late this afternoon her temp went up to 104 and she started to cough, cough, cough! In the end I called the out of hours doctor and he faxed through a prescription to the late night chemist. Mum and dad collected it and she took the meds...tamiflu, antibiotic and something to stop her coughing about 1 1/2 hours ago! Now she has diarrhea and has just been sick! It does seen to have helped her cough though! Mum is sitting with her as I keep disturbing her with MY cough! Now dad is sitting in the living room coughing away! I've told him if he starts to get a temperature he has got to contact GP straight away! I just feel so dam stressed! Needed to get all this of my chest! Thanks for 'listening'

First off thank you for all the Get Well Soons for Sophie. She is feeling a little better today! Amy has been so funny today running around looking after her until she got bored then it was back to normal and Sooooooooophieeeeeeee can you gets this for me....do that for me! Still she did try for a while she is just so used to Sophie running around for her!
We all had fun this afternoon, the girls helped me with taking pictures for The Priors! This was a bit messy and then we eat it!....What? You will have to wait until Monday!!!!
So that's about all we did today! Oh, and the washing which we then hung on the line. Another favorite game of Amy's....What does she do?... You don't want to know! LOL
Oh, yes and the housework and cook breakfast, lunch and dinner! So just a quite day!
Although I took a TON of pictures I don't have any I can show you until Monday....

Last night I told you Sophie had gone to see Hairspray in the West End...well she had a wonderful time and a very late night! She did not get home (to my mum and dads) until after 11.30! But she was still up this morning in time for her second lesson ....food tec! Cookies!!!!
As you know I was ill a week or so a go and I still have a rotten cough now Sophie and Amy are coughing too but I was not sure if they got my 'Mad Sheep Flu' or if it was to do with the weather? But tonight as I gave Sophie a cuddle she was soooooooo hot. I took her temperature and it's 103.3? So with her bad heart I phoned NHS Direct they said I need to talk to a GP who will phone within the hour that was just over an hour ago? So now I sit and wait...................
Oh, and on a good note this guy has come to live with me...

Well, I've not posted for a couple of days ...It's sooooooooo hot at the moment and does not get any cooler at night! Should get some rain tomorrow and then it's going to get a bit cooler! I don't know how you put up with it when it's like this all the time? I guess you have AC? I think I might have to invest in a unit if it's going to get hot like this more often!
I finally managed to take some pic's of my Homme pants that arrived from Kelsie...

They say it is only those that have underlying problems, mainly respiratory or heart! I have Asthma and Sophie has a bad heart so we both tick the box!

On that note I would just like to say if anyone gets a bad cough and then a high temperature GET THE TAMIFLU it only works if you use it in the first couple of days they say? Although saying that it was Sophie's 3rd day....so who knows? So far Amy has a cough and a bit of diarrhea but is playing and eating well with no temperature. I think it's the temperature that makes it nasty? Dad also has a cough but no other symptoms, so far mum is OK! But they know what to look out for and what to do!
So now onto other things...have you checked out my latest episodes of The Priors
Hope you are enjoying it?
Yesterday I got a gift from Barbara, she had read my post on needing pants for my guys and sent me three pairs! I just love the people onDoll Divas!


New jeans for Peter so now he can get out of his wedding clothes.


Speed is much happier in these pants ...the white ones are a little 'showy'


Pierre love his new beige pants they match his holiday shirt so well
The only other news I have is the workmen started on my garden cementing the area where the pool is going Monday the arrived a little late as he got stuck in traffic picking up a mixer... this then blew up and he had to wait for another this arrived with the wrong base so he had to wait for another! Meanwhile it started to pour with rain so in the end they had to give up for the day. Tuesday they arrived early and worked really hard then in the afternoon we had a MASSIVE storm. The newspapers say we had 3 months in one day??? Some areas had the worst rain since records began. So in the end he had to give up! Today Wednesday I think the electrics had got wet and when they tried to start the mixer they fused the house. So a three day job will take about a week! But how ever long it takes they will still get the same money!
So that's it for now....chat tomorrow 

Sophie Update...

Sophie had a very good night did not wake me at all! I woke from a deep sleep to the door bell (workmen) and it was 8:45. I panicked a bit and in that jolted from sleep state thought Sophie was dead or something! I went rushing in shouting "Sophie are you all right" to be greeted with a VERY grumpy (from being woken up) "of course I am!" Now shes had a bath and washed her hair and is sitting practicing her hand writing while Amy watches cartoons on TV!

Thank you so much for all your words of support both on the board and the private messages.
Well, it was a rough night but Sophie finally fell asleep about 2.30. So I got a little rest too! Today she appears to be a little better she fades about the time for her meds and the rallies again so I guess they are working?
Dad is still coughing as is Amy but as yet no temperature which is good. Mum at the moment is OK. But the first sign of anything changing I will insist on the meds!
Again thank you so much for your prayers and positive thoughts....there working!

NDR....I can't say anything to my mum and dad but I'm worried sick about Sophie...>>>

Late this afternoon her temp went up to 104 and she started to cough, cough, cough! In the end I called the out of hours doctor and he faxed through a prescription to the late night chemist. Mum and dad collected it and she took the meds...tamiflu, antibiotic and something to stop her coughing about 1 1/2 hours ago! Now she has diarrhea and has just been sick! It does seen to have helped her cough though! Mum is sitting with her as I keep disturbing her with MY cough! Now dad is sitting in the living room coughing away! I've told him if he starts to get a temperature he has got to contact GP straight away! I just feel so dam stressed! Needed to get all this of my chest! Thanks for 'listening'

First off thank you for all the Get Well Soons for Sophie. She is feeling a little better today! Amy has been so funny today running around looking after her until she got bored then it was back to normal and Sooooooooophieeeeeeee can you gets this for me....do that for me! Still she did try for a while she is just so used to Sophie running around for her!
We all had fun this afternoon, the girls helped me with taking pictures for The Priors! This was a bit messy and then we eat it!....What? You will have to wait until Monday!!!!
So that's about all we did today! Oh, and the washing which we then hung on the line. Another favorite game of Amy's....What does she do?... You don't want to know! LOL
Oh, yes and the housework and cook breakfast, lunch and dinner! So just a quite day!
Although I took a TON of pictures I don't have any I can show you until Monday....

Last night I told you Sophie had gone to see Hairspray in the West End...well she had a wonderful time and a very late night! She did not get home (to my mum and dads) until after 11.30! But she was still up this morning in time for her second lesson ....food tec! Cookies!!!!
As you know I was ill a week or so a go and I still have a rotten cough now Sophie and Amy are coughing too but I was not sure if they got my 'Mad Sheep Flu' or if it was to do with the weather? But tonight as I gave Sophie a cuddle she was soooooooo hot. I took her temperature and it's 103.3? So with her bad heart I phoned NHS Direct they said I need to talk to a GP who will phone within the hour that was just over an hour ago? So now I sit and wait...................
Oh, and on a good note this guy has come to live with me...
Takeo

Well, I've not posted for a couple of days ...It's sooooooooo hot at the moment and does not get any cooler at night! Should get some rain tomorrow and then it's going to get a bit cooler! I don't know how you put up with it when it's like this all the time? I guess you have AC? I think I might have to invest in a unit if it's going to get hot like this more often!
I finally managed to take some pic's of my Homme pants that arrived from Kelsie...


These pants so so well made and the jeans are a perfect fit! I've put them on a range of dolls so you can see how well they fit ALL my guys!
There's just me and Amy tonight Sophie has gone to see Hairspray in the West End with her school! All right for some! LOL When I was at school the only trips we went on were to museums Shes staying with my parents tonight as she won't be home until late and I don't want Amy disturbed Been taking some pictures tonight ready for the next episode of The Priors it should be ready tomorrow! Every time I start an Episode I find I'm missing some vital item so I have to find some way of cobbling it together! Oh, I wish I had my doll room!!!!*sigh* Still the story is coming along so well I'm now on Episode 29 in my writing but I don't think I will ever catch up with myself as I always need something I don't have! LOL
Some pictures of my girls in the garden...

Boy it's been muggy today! The sort of day you hope it will storm but it never does! In England we are not set up for this sort of weather so by lunch time your so tired you wish it was time for bed! But no the kids are fractious the cats are spitty and you still need to hang out the washing and cook dinner! Welcome to my world! LOL So what do I do? Ignore the cats, send the kids into the garden with a jug of water and instructions to stay in the shade hag out the washing and go in search of the electric fan (I have two) plus my ceiling fan in my bedroom (hot flushes...it's my age) some have mirrors on the ceiling I have a fan! Anyway I digress so I find the fan in the shed and.....it has no plug on it! So I go in search of the other .... I can see it it's on a shelf on the other side of the shed and between us 1/2 ton of junk and xxx amount of those 8 legged things!!!! Yes, I have a phobia and no I can't even say (type) what they are called so no fans just a VERY hot me! I did managed to cook dinner and i now feel like a wet rag! The girls are bathed and in bed so I'm off to bath and bed with my nice ceiling fan on fall!
Oh, I did managed a couple of pictures today and they even fit with theme....


Ken has had a body swap


and a hair cut


he's a bit to.....boyish for my lot so I think he might need a splash of paint and a bit of.....ageing?

This girl is hoping he will be the man for her?


Her hair has been cut too!
