The Beheading of Barbie and other Junk

Busy day today - After the puking episode last night, a lie in was definitely wishful thinking and was up with E at 6.30am - who had incidentally magically got better.

So went into Guisborough to post a parcel and get some other stuff then back home (incidentally the original parcel was going to cost £24 to post until i removed two items and reduced it to a semi resonable £4).

Managed to dislodge the wendy house from the cherry tree with the help of S next door and sorted that out - I think he was a little concenred when he drove by and saw me jumping on top of it to try and get the doors open which were skywards to empty the toys and I was definitely grateful for the help - no way could i have moved that myself - we ended up rolling it then shuffling it into position. I then returned the favour with a rescue of the climbing frame and some general repairs to the barn due to the high winds. One thing I did notice was that the cows had made a mess of the paddock when they escaped (see previous bloggs)and an already uneven paddock is absolutely crap now so I think i'll have a word with the farmer and see if anything can be done!

So this afternoon it was playing out doors for E with S and R while I chopped some stuff in the garden.

Tidying up tonight in the house proved interesting - E was doing her normal nightly round up when she let out a blood curdling scream and ran through to the kitchen in tears saying something about Barbie - I investigated and discovered the reason for the toy chest lid stickign this afternoon - I was pre-occipied at the time so just forced it and managed to close it - what I missed that that I had beheaded Barbie and emily found the remains and was screaming about her being dead! We set up dolly hospital and i got me stethascope on! A quick shove later and he head was back on and a happy little girl who now has Barbie surgically atteched to her hand. Isn't the world of make bilieve fab.

Found out that my mate won't be around when I go to France so thats a shame not to be able to catch up and also to dump my car, so I'm now going to have a look and see about long term parking at Ashford International Railway or actually travelling down there on train all the way - any ideas anyone???
