Dear Hubby

No soccer this week due to rain. We had Tim over Friday night so we descended upon McDonalds and had a feast (stop drooling, lol). Tim and Scott played some sort of Olympics game of Tims on the Wii, Scott nearly knocked himself out jumping around under the bed! Whatever it was involved lots of arm waving. Will got a scooter for his birthday and has been giving it a good workout, so while the sun shone briefly on Saturday he raced up and down the street with the other kids. Matt drove me nuts watching Hooley Dooleys.

I have been attempting to address clutter issues. As you are well aware I have a number of boxes, in the shed, that I haven't opened in the year we have lived in this place, so it was time to do a real sort and chuck. I spent yesterday and today on this project and am satisifed with the dent I made. Out of 10 boxes I got rid of the equivalent of 5. Pat on the back for me, lol. We are having a council pick up tomorrow, the boxes of 'stuff that is going' are sitting out there waiting to disappear, along with our last years Xmas tree, two broken chairs and Scott's keyboard, which Matt jumped on and broke once and for all. Scott was a bit upset about it, I didn't need to point out that the floor wasn't really the best place to keep it. Before Matt broke it Matt had been having a lovely time serenading me with music, lol, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I have been saving carefully for a few weeks now as there were some items I wanted to replace - old and/or broken with new. So today I went out and bought...
A new computer desk for the boys
Headphones for their computer (required for sanity)
Kettle (I wore the other one out)
A mouse for the computer (replacement of 'antique', lol)
A fish tank! This was purchased as our goldfish has grown out of his previous home, I expect he will be very happy to move.

So Sunday was spent building a computer table. It seriously took me and the boys (great helpers) 4 hours!!!! I was sooo glad when it was finally finished and set up.
We also visited a lovely friend who I haven't seen for a while, the boys and I went expecting to stay an hour, and ended up there for nearly three!
