Today I'm grateful for....

Our Pellet Fire which has kept us warm all week while we have been home

while the two youngest children have been so sick with the evil bugs

that it seems everyone has this winter.

Honestly I think I'm going a bit mad,

so I thought I'd try and find some things to be grateful for....

Being able to spend a lot of time sewing this week while Annie was lying on the sofa

feeling poorly and watching kids TV

(I guess I could be thankful for kids TV)

I'm grateful for the ipad and wonderful apps that kept the boy happy

while he spend several days in bed feeling poorly

I'm grateful for sky tv so I can get up early each morning and watch the last two hours

of the Tour de France. I love it so much

I'm grateful for good friends who find vintage sheets at opshops for us.

I'm grateful for good friends who bring soup for lunch

and stay and chat a while so you don't go completely mad while stuck at home.

I'm grateful for chocolate and Coke Zero, and the fact that you can eat them and feel better

haha don't shoot me, its been a long week.

I'm thankful that I take lots of pictures of things, like this wall in our living room

which we are taking out this week to make our living space a bit bigger.

It's been lovely having this wall to decorate,

but it's going to be lovlier to have more than two metres square

 of clear floor space for everyone to live on!

Gosh I'm sorry my grateful list seems a bit shallow,

but maybe when I finally get out of this prison house it will get better,

it's been a loooooong week.
