Day 43

I'm getting sleepy so I thought I should start typing out my blog for the day, while I finish watching "PS I Love You" - Great movie!

I didn't have any knocks at the door this morning, (which was incredible) but I still managed to wake up earlier than I had hoped. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Damn 8am! I want a to get a good sleep in, and soon!!

Anyway, I got out of bed and got ready. More loud music today :D That always puts me in a good mood. Took my time and eventually went downstairs to have my breakfast and watch a couple of episodes of the office. Heloise was working beside me.

The boys got home from football. - I think they both ended up winning 4-0. Nathaniel scored 2 of his team's 4 goals, and apparently almost got a 3rd, but an opponent knocked it away. - So they were home and we all had lunch and Josh and I watched some music videos and things on You Tube. Then it was lunch. By the time we ate that the boys just had time for a shower, and then Uncle Clifford was at the door waiting to take us to his house.

When we arrived Charlie, Nan, Aunty Linda and Uncle John were there. Soon after, Dan (my cousin), Ben and Joe (his boys) showed up. Ben said he remembered me a little bit, and he knew my name. Joe had been so little the last time I saw him, I didn't bother asking if he'd remembered me. There was a whole lot of chaos as at one point there were 14 people there at once. A number of us went in to the family room to watch Liverpool vs Man U. I took a lot of flack from Josh as I am a Liverpool fan, and he is die hard Man U and no one else is even close to being as good, in his eyes. I then found out I was not the only Liverpool fan in the room. I had back up :D Charlie is as well. I knew I loved him :p - I won't tell you the score as I'm not sure my dad and brother have watched the game yet. - At half time everyone but Josh, Nan and I went in different directions. Some for walks, others for a drive to Heloise's. We stayed behind to finish watching the game. Once everyone returned, the young ones were going in the pool with Uncle Clifford, and Dan. Charlie and I were sitting in the kitchen trying to watch TV, but Josh changed the channel in the other room and screwed the TV up. So while I was trying to fix that, Charlie decided to go for a swim as well. After the TV's were figured out, I went and sat with Nan to watch everyone in the pool. They seemed to be having a great time. By then Josh had to leave with Heloise to get to his swimming lesson.

When they all got out of the pool, it was time for dinner. We enjoyed a "quiet as the Preddy family gets" meal, with the boys in the other room, and then had some dessert. Sat in the family room for a few minutes afterwards, Joe was sick :( Poor little guy. And then the Peterborough crew left. :( Hopefully I will see all of them again soon. Nan was full of hugs today. It was very nice.

Tim arrived just before they took off, and soon after, Heloise and Josh returned. The 3 of them ate their dinner, and I had a delicious piece of chocolate brownie type cake -It was heaven- with some honeycomb ice cream and some fruit. We finished up, and the boys were ready to go.

Nathaniel fell asleep on the way home, so when we pulled in the drive, I carried him up to his room...well Zach's room. He had woken up by then, but wasn't feeling well. I said good night and came downstairs to watch the amazing Michael Buble perform on X Factor, and then turned "PS I Love You" on...and here I am. It's over now. Perfect timing.
Good Night xx

  1. Glad you got to see Charlie after 43 days. Hopefully as you say it won't be too long before you see them all again.
    4 more sleeps. Yeah I think the boys will miss you. You do so much for them and with them.
    Glad your team won. Although word here is that the ref decided the game.
    Love you

  3. LMAO that's hilarious. I thought the ref was fair. He called crappy calls for each team. :p Not sure the boys will miss me. We'll see.

    haha Aunt Cindy, I am sure they will manage. My Uncle and Aunt will be helping out while I'm gone.
    My shoulder is holding up pretty well thank you. I feel it every now and then, but nothing like before.
