school summer holidays

Well yesterday afternoon the kids finished school for just over 6 weeks.

The day started off good, we took our eldest daughter out of town for some shopping and lunch got back home in time for getting the 2 youngest who finished school at 2pm instead of 3.30pm.

From there on things went a little downhill. I had promised Gem she could have her ears pierced as a belated birthday present. So we took her down into town for that. Well considering the person who was doing the piercing was qualified she made a right hash of piercing the first one. it only went in half way so they had to re-pierce it which made gem not want to have the 2nd one done. Eventually she got it done but she didn't like us very much. Chris also wanted his done, he sat down and all he said was 'ow' LOL he then came out and said that hurts now can i take the ear-ring out lol. We got a 15% off voucher for our next purchase in that shop, not sure if that was to keep the peace for what happened to gem or what but with an 18th birthday coming up i might just use it in there!

When we got back from taking my eldest to work I came home to a phone call from the Drs surgery asking me to have a blood test repeated as the blood count came back showing I am anaemic so we will see what happens after the repeated test.

Today has been a quiet slow day. I am having a pj day. Have done a tiny little bit of stitching on RH and I mean a tiny little bit, finished reading a book and finally caught up on my emails. I think i will now go and print out the summer chart for the SAL on my group. I also need to do some more on RH for my UFO SAL weekend with Fatema. Have a good weekend everyone
