My dad

My dad is having an operation today for an aggressive cancer.  So we are praying that it goes well.  I love him so much.

Hubs is driving him there this morning.

He will then have intensive radiotherapy for a couple of weeks.  So he will probably be very tired.

**the op went well, praise God**

Leak!

We have a leak in the kitchen.

I'd been lamenting why we were getting mould in the cupboards.  I'd clean them, made sure the kitchen was always well aired, but we were still getting this damp in certain cupboards.

Then this evening I walked into the kitchen and noticed that the lino was lumpy and had weird bubbles that I could squash with my feet.

Anyway, hubs pulled up the floor and lo and behold, the dishwasher water inlet pipe has been leaking under the lino for some time.  The floor is soaked and, when we started to pull them all apart we can see how the damp has damaged all the cupboards.

*sigh*

No wonder our water bill was so high!

Juggling L

L has been doing British Gymnastics certificates in trampolining.

She's getting really good.

I took this photo and I think it looks like she is being juggled! Haha. Bless her.

Arty

For her art lesson, B had to draw and shade a skull.

I think she has done a very good job.

I'm so proud of her xx

The BIGGEST spider in the world!

Well, I could be exaggerating.  But today I caught the biggest spider I've ever seen.  Except I was so totally freaked out by this freak of nature, which I had trapped in a large glass with a slip of card, that instead of just throwing the spider out of the door, I threw the whole glass!

B was also in a state of being freaked out and spent the whole episode stood on a chair!

Oops

I admit I screamed as I released the glass, goodness knows what the neighbours thought we were up to, haha

Segways

A friend of ours gave us some tickets for the girls to have LOTS of fun learning how to ride Segways at Tatton Park.

They had so much fun and it is such a beautiful setting.

So proud!

Our beautiful B has done absolutely fantastic in her GCSEs.  We are so unbelievably proud of her!

So we had to go out and celebrate with a lovely meal together.
