Her producer wrote that he is finding it a real treat editing her CD, and thinks it is a wonderful way to fill a week! Bless him, such a nice chap! (no, no love interest, he is in his 50's!)
She is also having fun doing it, hopes to get back here not too very late tonight.....
I'm painting, at least, at present waiting for the first coat on the ceiling to dry! Any paint-brush wielders would be very welcome......lol!

Whew, that last track on the CD took a lot of work, Caz got here and into her bed this morning at about 8.30, thank goodness she had a lift all the way home, we waited up till about 3am then as she said there was still more to do, went off to bed. She left a note saying she'd now be sleeping for England, lol!
The CD will hopefully be on sale ready for Christmas, there should be no problem in finding it, there will be a good deal of publicity I suspect!
Kitchen ceiling now half done with 2 coats of paint, the walls that end need painting now. It is a long room, as we built an extension, so the two halves are separated by a beam (well, a concrete one buried in plaster really), so it is easy to decorate half and it means the disruption is not too great.

Hi Helen,
oooooooooooooooo you must be all so tired love, hope Caz has a good zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I am sure she will. Please give her my very best wishes, well done to both your children bless them both!.
Hope you catch up a little this afternoon too dear lady, although I know you will want to get you painting finished, bet it is looking really lovely now.
Tired myself today, did not get in until three this morning, too old for such lateness hehehe, bit of a head, but really enjoyed our night, so the head is worth it lo!!! Half term so I have a week to get over it hehehe
Love and many hugs to you all

Surprisingly, we are all ok today, Caz came down about 3.30 this afternoon, and we have heard the music, oh boy, I AM SO PROUD!!!!! There isn't too much more to do, then the CD will be announced and marketed.......watch this space!
I carried on painting, half the ceiling is complete, the walls around the back of the kitchen have first coat of paint on, we will be plodding on bit by bit, I'm doing all the parts that are hard for hubs to reach and stretch to, so his neck won't get painful, but he is still able to do some of it. He has part sealed all the tiles and grout, important in a kitchen......the spray sealer stank!
We have just had an early dinner so that Caz can drive back home when she's ready.
Mary, I hope you too had a zzzzzzzz or two to help you get over the headache, lol!
love and hugs to all

Hi Helen,
Hope the decorating is going well I bet it will look fab once its all finished. I quite like painting but hate the smell of gloss paint it always gives me headache and lingers for days but the end result is worth it.
Hope Caz had a good rest and had a good journey back home and hope she's having a rest tomorrow with all the hard work she's been doing. Enjoy the rest of the weekend
love and hugs sharon xxxxxxxxxxx
Caz was pleased to get home last night, she left here about 8pm after dinner. She's had a really good rest and emailed me being a bit uncertain what the time was exactly, like us she has some clocks that don't automatically change with the time going back! lol! (must get round to sorting ours that haven't changed, too!)
More decorating today, more sealing of other parts of the tiling, one end of the kitchen is now finished apart from skirting board and doors, we will now have to start on the rest!
I've made the Christmas Pud, yes we wished while stirring, it's now steaming for a minimum 6 hours, then when it has cooled it'll go in the freezer, it's a freezer recipe. Then it needs to steam for another 3 hours plus on the day itself.
My love and hugs to all
Moomy
