How about a gift card with a small box of chocolates. Then she can choose Heather. She does sound a lovely mother in law.

Off to the gym and then doctors for prescriptions. Not a real exciting day. Everyone have fun.

[Heather]

I tried to offer that as a solution already, but Justin didn't like it.

Ended up finding a very nice and warm looking robe with some cushy slippers, a bath and lotion gift basket one of her favorite movies (*hoping she doesn't have it yet) and some tea. Maybe make her a nice warm evening at home, relaxing.

[toetapping]

That is beautiful Heather. She will realise how you and Justin really appreciate her.

Went for a beautiful walk down the beach today. Our weather is warming up again and I am looking forward to it even though I moan. LOL

Easy day tomorrow just the washing. I am sure your day will be more exciting

[Heather]

Hi toetapping. I know what you mean about complaining about the weather. I always complain in summer time too- but I honestly do like it when it's warmer outside.

Wash day? That's like everyday around here. lol.. we are always in the middle of switching the laundry over it seems. Towels especially pile up quick. Always washing a load of those- worse thing is drying them takes forever in winter. My dryer is old. Maybe they will come and replace that next- I got a new washer last spring. :)

[toetapping]

We are lucky with the weather Heather and don't need a dryer at all. Very rarely my washing stays on the line overnight.

Well it is breakfast time now. Fruit and yoghurt. Love it.

I am having sliced apple and yoghurt right now as well. Its my lunch today. 

Happy Monday!

[Heather]

So, there is this box that just came to the door from Fedex and it's as tall as Justin's hips and wider than my kitchen counter...

And it isn't something either of us ordered...

-=wonders what it is=- Justin just put it over by the tree and said he will call his mom to see if she sent something here.

[Heather]

It is indeed from his mom.
We are not allowed to open it yet.

I want to know what it is though. lol

[Heather]

lol she called back and is having him open it now....

It's a microwave! We didn't have one because our last apartment did have one- but this one doesn't. Now we have one. Thanks Mom! <3

[toetapping]

Sounds delicious Apple. At the moment I am using passionfruit yoghurt.

Whow! What a wonderful Mother in Law. You are so lucky. Enjoy that microwave.

Just come back from down the beach and it was beautiful.

[Heather]

I want to join you on the beach toetapping! Sounds good to me, here in December. Would love the warmth of your day!

Yes, I am lucky his mom is so sweet. She has been very kind to me since I met her, and she even stuck through those hard days when my son was arrested- she came right over in fact and dealt with getting in to see us around the crazy news cameras...

[~apple~]

She sounds like a nice lady heather, I am glad she is in your life.

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was a crazy day, and then after work I went to my first Stained Glass Class. I love it!

Today is a meeting day at work, I am just having my coffee now and about ready to jump in. I hope you have a nice day everyone!

[Heather]

Hi ~apple~. I hope work goes by quickly.

Stained Glass Class? Sounds interesting. Show us some of your work if you can, after it's completed. Would love to see it.

I keep wanting to take a pottery class. Not sure if I will be good at it. LOL! My feeble attempts at art in the past have not been stellar.

My work isn't quite ready for showing. lol
I am learning technique right now, once I have that down I have a lot of plans for different projects. 
You should take a pottery class @heather! Its fun to try new things, even if you don't turn out to be good at them. :)

[toetapping]

apple I knew a lady who took a course on stained glass and she made beautiful light fittings. Like any course as you see yourself improve you will enjoy it more. I think we all need a hobby to bring out the artistic side in us.

I don't have one thing planned today and I know I will enjoy the day.

My instructor showed me some of the things he has made and I am really excited and hopeful that one day I can be as creative perhaps. 

Happy Wednesday everyone, I could use a good sleep. I bet most of us could. :)

Enjoy your day! 

[Heather]

I just woke up. Well, woke up for the 2nd time. But hopefully I am awake now.. Just wish for coffee.. *wishes really hard* lol- it's not going to come to me, is it?

[Heather]

How is everyone doing tonight?

-=crickets=- ...ah well.

Have a good one, where ever you all are! ox

[~apple~]

HI~!
Well I was shopping and getting organized for Christmas last night. I dropped off all the gifts i bought for my mom to give to my kids....lol She can wrap them at least!
She hasn't been feeling well so I did her shopping for her. Now I can focus on my shopping. Nothing like last minute shopping to get the adrenaline going eh?

Happy Thursday Everyone!

[Heather]

I do not envy that job. Seriously, good luck with that shopping ~apple~.

Now, I must try and figure out where exactly, Fedex delivered Justin's mom's gifts... says on the tracking, "Delivered to address other than recipient." So, who has it and why... Will check the office first.

Probably a neighbour. :)

[The Enigma Shew]

Still they should take it back to the warehouse instead of giving it to a neighbor. This is not the same world of just a few years ago. I wish it was but it is not.

[Heather]

I agree The Enigma Shew. I don't really trust my neighbors. lol

My son is calling. I will brb in 30 mins.

[toetapping]

That is awful that the person who has the parcel even signed for it. Hope it is retreived.

Hot one here and a lazy one before a busy week next week. Are you all ready for "The Trolley Race".

[The Enigma Shew]

that is a new phrase to me Toetapping would you happen to know it's origin?

[Heather]

The office didn't have it. There is no record of "which address" it was actually delivered to- ...grrr...

I live in an apartment- so it could be anyone on my floor I suppose. And I don't think that anyone lives right across the hall anymore. There are notices on the door there for a long time and no one has collected them.

[~apple~]

Oh dear @heather, I hope you find it!

I know my neighbors pretty well, they get my mail often. :)

Its been a bit of a busy day, I am just having a tea break now.

[Heather]

I don't talk to my neighbors. I don't even know who they are, what they look like. lol

-=stays inside and doesn't go out=-

I really don't like that they just left my package without letting me know where it was left.

Hi everyone :)

I´m sorry I havent been here to post the last days. The thing was this, some days ago I lost my comp. It just quit on me, I had a shortage and the processor got burnt. End of story. So I was quite limited for some days with only a tablet and i couldn´t keep up with all the sites I have (another reason why i never wanna be in too b many forums at once) So for some days i only posted in one or two of my places. Thank goodness I had a little christmas miracle happen and I managed to get a new computer yesterday :) So I am currently busy installing everything and will be able to pick up my normal posting again and i can also posy quicker on the tablet now cos i found a browser for it that works a lot faster.

So I will be back at short notice :) I hope everyone is doing good and well, will catch up reading through the posts :)

[Heather]

Welcome back Teddy. It's not difficult to pick up in here. Things are pretty quiet around here.
