To say the past 7-10 days has been diffcult is an understatement.  First of all last Tuesday our car (yep, the one we just got back) decided it was going to die/overheat.  After speaking to dad and having a mechanic friend look over it, we decided it would do more harm than good to be driving it.  That evening we heard about James' Uncle Fred dying.  On the Wednesday I had to go about hiring a car as we had to go to Lisa's wedding in Glasgow. 

The drive down was awful as I mentioned in the other post & I really wasn't very well.  So we get back up, the Monday was fairly normal, then the Tuesday Kory started nursery.  In the afternoon we had to brave driving the car down to trade it in!!  On Wednesday James left for work as normal and was heading to London straight from work.  During the day, the electricity started going wonky and I discovered it was the tumble drier short circuiting the whole house.  ARGH!!  Just what I need coming into winter and on day 1 of being a single parent for 3 days!! 

That evening Krystal was nappy free and got a sore tummy and "went" all over the cream hall carpet!  The phone was ringing, the door was going, both kids were crying & it was way past their bedtime.  Chaos!

Laura and Gary arrived on Friday night about 30 mins before James got home then they headed into town.  Then on Saturday morning we went to collect our new car (a silver Astra).  When we got home we realised that we had no phone connection and therefore no internet.  Everything keeps going wrong!! 

Then we had a wedding dance at night.  It was Suzanne & Scott who I know through baby group. I'm pleased to say it went well and I'll do another post about the weekend with Laura & Gary and the wedding.

Somewhere in all that I had a sore leg, by sore I mean a HUGE lump which I am pretty sure is/was an infected hair follicle thing.  It was agony for a few days and making me feel a bit rough.

Hopefully this week will be better.  We won't be stuck in the house as we have a car now and I'm going to try and spend some time with Krystal while Kory is in nursery, doing things I feel she's missed out on a bit.  So tomorrow morning, Rambo's here we come!
