OUCH!!!!

Basically I ache all over already so I think tomorrow morning is going to be a KILLER!

Yes we really did shovel all this shingle into small buckets, carry it through the house and re-arrange it in the back garden. Well Hubby did basically all of the carrying and tipping. All I did was the shovelling, but that is still hard work! It was worth it, the garden looks acceptable now! (and N doesn't have to wade through chicken poo with her friends to get to the trampoline)

"And what did the small people of the household do while all this is happening" I hear you cry. Pepper and Ralph went to the dog sitters for the day as we needed the front door open permanently for this job. They must have had loads of fun as they are fast asleep!

N had to keep herself amused whilst keeping a watch of the proceedings through the window. She completed a story she was writing to give to Jacqueline Wilson when we (hopefully) see her. She wrote another story for her guinea pig short-stories series. She read her book. She played on the computer. She rode her bike. ( she went outside for that) and then she helped me with the shopping at Lidl.

We rewarded ourselves with an Indian Takeaway, although poor hubby wasn't around for that as after all the hard work in the day he is coaching cricket 6pm until 10pm tonight.
