out cold

Well maybe that should read... Out with a cold! Yes I am still unwell.

I just want to say thank you to Talia who noticed that I wasn't here... always nice to know you're missed. Also if you get a chance - go check out her blog, it is a fave of mine and I love her last post on her embrodied tree.

Ok, so no decluttering and plenty of slothing around the house. Well I did manage a few trips to the shops and I am so glad I did, especially yesterday!

I ran into a lovely friend of mine, Sheril, who I haven't seen since I lived at the coast about oh I think 5 years ago. We keep in semi regular contact on Facebook but it was so nice to be able to sit and chat to her over an improptu coffee/playdate at the shops. Last time I saw her she had only had her daughter and now she has 3 kids (two boys). Asher just adored them and her poor (almost) 7 year old daughter put up with him following and mimicking her every move for well over an hour!

I picked up some great 2nd hand books for Asher the other day and one for me. "Shopaholic and Sister" when I saw it was less than $3 I figured why not - I will just hand it on to someone else. I had like the Shopaholic movie so figured it would be good... well... she kinda annoyed me at first but as I read it, it actually made me think about what I spend money on. I know she is a total lost cause for compulsive buying but really, when I was at the shops today I was looking at things and then thinking if i really needed them... I mean honestly we don't really need that much anyway. Now if only I could snap my fingers and everything extra, excess and not really needed, would leave my house!

Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and I will be back to it soon...
