Overhelpful

Since Fri night I have been sick with a fluey/gastro thing, hence missing a great party and spending the weekend lying down, well as much as you can with 4 kids. I feel a bit better today and with Simon away for the week on search and rescue training, it was good timing.

The positive thing about being sick (I know I am grasping at straws), is that it gives the kids an opportunity to do a bit more work around the house and do extra chores they wouldn't normally do.

The girls were asked to get the washing off the line and they went the extra mile and put all the pegs together in a row on the one wire. I am not looking forward to the next time I put the washing on the line, it will take twice as long having to grab all those pegs but the girls were so proud of themselves that I am not going to spoil it for them.

Thanks Simon for looking after me even though you were on night shift. x
Thanks Hallie for rubbing my arm with concern, even if it did give me carpet burn. x
Thanks Sarra for feeding Jonty breakfast and giving him a bath and reading the other 2 a story at night, until it was your turn to be sick the next night. x
Thanks Oliver for taking advantage of me being sick and eating all the goodies in the cupboard because you knew I wouldn't see or care. x
Thanks Jonty for having an extra long sleep in the day. x

What a lovely family I have.

PS Sorry I missed you dropping in to see me Chels. I didn't even know you had dropped by until after I got up and Sarra showed me the note. :(

I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was very fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Very much worth it...

The organization offers 1 [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]hotdeal gia re[/url] for each and every working day in every one of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance agreement utilizing ThePoint's technique: if a particular assortment of folks indicator up for the offer you you, then the offer turns into available to all if the predetermined least is not accomplished, no one specific gets the deal that doing work day. This lowers risk for merchants, who can handle the coupons as quantity discounts as efficiently as merchandise sales advertising instruments. Groupon helps make earnings by trying to keep around fifty p.c the revenue the buyer pays for the coupon.

For circumstance in point, an $eighty massage could be received by the client for $40 by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer presents a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get around $twenty from Groupon for it (below a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 well well worth of home portray options is acquired by the buyer for $50 by implies of Groupon, then the organization receives $25 and Groupon retains $25. The consumer will get the massage, or the residence portray service, in these examples, from the retailer for which they originally paid out out $40 (or $50) to Groupon. There are specific companies to which Groupon at first did not offer its services, which includes capturing ranges and strip golf equipment nevertheless, capturing ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.
