Its the return of the prodigal poster! (sounds a bit like a horror story if you ask me...)

We have finally paid the phone bill- even tho I no longer live in this house it still beats having that little timer ticking away in the corner telling me how much time i dont have left! It will be a long long while before I get the internet on at home but I should be able to visit a little more regularly and brighten the place up with my gleaming halo once more.

Natalie is over at her mums house, recovering from some major surgery. She had a circumferential body lift operation after losing almost half her body weight. She is sore and still very swollen from the op but determind to progress enough that her mum will be happy to let her come home. I know how mothers of her generation think... so I have cleaned the house top to bottom with disinfectant and it smells cleaner than the hospital in here.

I am still working at the boarding kennels, picked up an extra day a week and an afternoon feed at least once a week so life is good. I like being the nice feeding person for a change instead of the horrible waterblasting one!

The kids and I are pretty much moved into our own house now, have no phone, no tv and no washing machine yet. They will have to start taking the train to school soon. I am not too happy about sending my 10 year old on the train so I will bribe her brother to walk her to her school before he goes to his. Next year she changes schools so it wont be a problem.

Nat and I still have a very up and down relationship but after so long it has kind of become normal. Despite the problems, we have gotten used to having each other around and have decided its a case of "better the devil you know". I promised her when the swelling goes down from her big op, I will take her shopping for lingerie- stuff she has always wanted but couldnt wear before. Her mother was going to take her, but I said no way- thats my department! lol.

Anyway, enuff waffle - I have to go and do housework now but I'll be back!! (thats both a threat AND a promise!) I never got the gossip so I guess I will have to stay up all night for 3 weeks to catch up around here...

It's a quote from an old Mary Engelbreit piece that I probably first saw on a greeting card. It's a take off on the old expression "Life is just a bowl of cherries." ;^)

Life is just a chair of bowlies...

Wow! Ven. It has been sooooo long.
I hope Nat will feel much better about herself since she has had the big op.
It is good to see you here again.
I have missed your updates and Kennel work stories. I used to have a grooming shop in a kennel and training center and I know what it is like to be doing kennel work. I am sure we would have a lot of fun stories to share.
It is great to have you back!!!

oops sorry, it just took me a while to track down the old red carpet, then I had to get it cleaned. It got stashed away last time Prince Charlie came for a visit. I dont know what that bloke walks in but let me tell you, it's darned hard to get out of red carpets!!

So there you go, red carpet all rolled out, banners and confetti and champagne corks popping (cant be any harder to clean out of the carpet than what was already there...!)
- Welcome back, Eastie!!

You snicker?!?!?!?!?! Little do you know... I work long and hard hours towards this halo earning thing! And woe is me, I come off being called a fairy!! Where O where did I go wrong THIS time?!! ;-)

(I put the rubbish out at work and everyone thought the "fairy" did it, I came round to Nat's really early and did her dishes and laundry and she thought the "fairy" did it... )
