The dragon-in-law and other rellies were in true form, I spent a lot of time avoiding them ..... shopping was awesome wanted to pack my luggage with meat and seafood which was between 5 and 10 dollars a kg less than we are paying... The wedding was beautiful and the bride so happy we could make it, was worth putting up with the ill mannered inlaws.

Had my first manicure- how girly and lovely, they will probably only last a few days now im back at work hahaha

The best news I came back expecting to spend a week cleaning house but didnt have to YEH YEH missed my grandies heaps while away and have made up for it in kisses and cuddles since returning.

We're off to Sydney for two weeks for a family wedding but hopefully for a holiday as well. The dragon-in-law has started already but I have contingency plans for dealing with her....escape and shop featuring largely :-). It will be great to catch up with old friends, many of whom havent been seen for years...hubby hasnt been back for 10 years and for me 7.

Its been a difficult few weeks with all sorts of things happening but we are managing and dealing with them one at a time. That's really all you can do when the cosmos conspires to upset your applecart.

Its been a while since I came onto Minti and thankyou to all my lovely friends who left gifts and compliments I havent gotten around to finding out how you send them but I will.... For now I am struggling to keep my head above water, bipolar and SAD dont mix well and the darker the weather the harder it is to keep afloat...added  to that one of the meds was heaping on weight and the Dr told me to stop taking it and it was balancing my moods I feel like I am back at square one...so my dear friends evernthough Im not about much I am thinking of you and wishing you all the very best love Carol

Well the term is well under way and its report writing around the corner. My grandie has a cold :-( poor baby as does his Mum an Dad whilst nana does her babysitting she is being very careful not to catch the dreaded bug.

Havent seen my second grandy for a while his mum is being difficult  and has said some nasty hurtful things about my baby boy...I have explained that while shes angry and hes miserable there wasnt a lot I could do but try and be there for them both I feel the age gap betwen them is widening even more...but she did text me to let me know that he has his first tooth and is sitting :-)
