A Weird Week....

This week has been a strange one....There has been lots of highs and excitement and a couple of lows and dramas but to be honest this week has been a bit....
 

The highlight of our week was on Tuesday.....We had some snow!! It wasn't much but it snowed! Ellie went to bed singing "Do you want to build a snowman" I hunted out all the wellies expecting there to be more by the morning but it had all just about gone by the time we got up....We were all a little bit gutted...

Tuesday evening I had an early night which very weird for me....I was in bed by half nine.....I'd felt sick all day but nothing had come of it until just after midnight....It's no fun running to the loo in the cold all the way from our bedroom....It's times like this I wish our bathroom was upstairs....lol The next day I was fine....Thankfully!

On Wednesday a prize that I won over Christmas arrived.....It was from a furniture company....A mystery prize! I expected it to be to a coffee or side table....Maybe a mirror or some photo frames....Something like that for the home....

It arrived in two huge boxes...I tore into them like a kid at Christmas......It was a home bar.....How very random and very weird! No wonder when the woman arranging delivery was laughing on the phone (Yes I forgot to ask what it was) Years ago before kids I would have loved it but it just isn't my thing now....It just didn't suit our home plus we didn't exactly have the room for it.....Thankfully it has found a new home with a couple who's children have all grown up and they are making a bar/games room in their summer house....How fancy! hehehe

I argued a lot with a certain company on Tuesday....I thought I had paid a bill before Christmas until they sent a letter saying they were taking me to court if the debt wasn't paid in full straight away....I then had 4 phone calls from the company in one day.....I told them I would pay it Thursday as I literally had pennies in my bank account (this week was the week all the bills for the month comes out...The rent, Sky and a few others) The people were quite rude on the phone...Demanding I set up a direct debit, threatening me with charges and taking me to court.....

The 5th and final phone call came and I was ready to shout down the phone at them....I explained the situation and the guy actually laughed out loud when he looked at the amount I owed....FIVE POUNDS!! He said it has probably cost more in phone calls to me than the amount I owed! The bill was paid in full as promised on Thursday.....

The kids are back into the routine of school....They have been more willing to get up on a morning....Wednesday night they were both asleep by quarter past eight!! That never happens and Becky went up to her room and tidied it without me asking....Very weird! She had a motive! She wants her boyfriend to come and visit but even if he does they won't be going upstairs in her room....Gawd! I'm turning into my mother...lol
