I hope you have had a great week and are ready for the weekend! I have had a few days substitute teaching but I've also had a few moments to get some chores done and just faff around the house.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the art of faffing let me just quickly tell you a little bit about it!
So now I've cleared that up here some results of my 'faffing about' ie spending my time styling a coffee table instead of cleaning the house!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Definition of faff in English:
VERB
to spend your time doing a lot of things that are not important instead of the thing that you should be doing:
"We can’t faff around forever."
"I didn't do anything on Sunday; I just faffed around the house."
Origin
'Faffing about' is a phrase that is most often heard in the UK rather than in other parts of the English-speaking world. In fact, even in the UK it is something of an anachronism, more at home in a P G Wodehouse story than as 21st century street slang.
'Faff' has been used to mean 'dither; fuss; flap' since the 19th century. The Church of England clergyman, author, and folksong collector Sabine Baring-Gould recorded it in Yorkshire Oddities, 1874:
T' clock-maker fizzled an' faff'd aboot her, but nivver did her a farthing's worth o' good.

- Can we try visiting as many people as possible and leave a really quick comment just to let our friends know that we've visited? You could always just Say G'Day and get into the spirit of the Say G'day Party!
