Well what a day......

2010-10-03T11:25:00.000-07:00

It's been today... After lasts nights session of Chinese takeaway and a box of wine.... Lets just say it was messy not just for me but for my good friend Sarah who i must add always seems to come off worse one way or another... Last night she fell down my stairs..... well OK the last step and boy did she go..... But being the good sport she is(and with me wetting myself laughing)... She carried on drinking and card playing till the end of the evening came and she kinda dragged/limped and kinda hopped home feeling very sorry for herself....

Well this morning i woke kinda wishing it wasn't Sunday morning and that it wasn't raining either cos its football day and as usual Jojo was up bright and early and dressed ready to go..... Not good after wine.....

After dragging my sorry arse outta bed i opened the door to my pal Sarah who like me wasn't looking good and limping with a very swollen ankle to drop off her little one who wanted to come to footie in the rain... Mad or what....

Oww joy!!!! we turn up to the meeting place looking like a huge bag of shite to find I'm the only one with sat nav so I'm leading so off we go...... to Basingstoke by the time we got there it was raining..... and it didn't stop just got worse.... but the girls had fun and they won the match 3-0 so they were really happy and to top it off Jojo was picked girl of the match and brought home the trophy will post up pics once taken....

I think the next time we drink a box of wine we should take more water with it esp if doing the footie the next morning cos it wasn't fun this morning as the morning went on i got a raging headache but thankfully that went once I'd taken some pills and had a yummy roast pork dinner... Why is it that a good roast dinner always makes you feel better??? well it does me hope it does you too....

I now am gonna say my prayers and bid you all a good night after today's events I'm shattered and so will you after reading the essay I've just posted up.

Night Night, Sleep well and don't let the bed bugs bite.

OMG...... It's been over a year!!!!!

2010-10-02T08:25:00.000-07:00

What can i say?????? I'm ashamed i havent been in here since july 09... What does this mean??????? Well It means either i have been really really busy and havent had been able to get in or the fact that i have lead a very boring life and have nothing to report!!!!! well noo.... The truth is i havent got a boring life and yes i've been really really busy..... I will update you all in a while after i have played around with this blog and dragged it into 2010.

I can't really believe what i've gone and done.......

2009-06-14T11:55:00.000-07:00

Only got myself a tattoo!!!!!!!!

I can tell you all now I'm glad i did it!!! BUT NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!
Can't believe how much it hurt!!!! It was like glass being pulled through my skin.
I didn't know wither to laugh or cry!!, my nice work mates was wetting themselves with laughter... THE SODS!!!!

Everyone that knows me can't believe I've done it either cos they all know i have no pain barrier, they were shocked LOL
One friends son really didn't believe it was real, He said it looked to perfect to be a real one LOL which i suppose is a compliment to the tattooist that did it.

What do you think of it??? its not a great pic as its is a bit blurry..

I've been on ...................

2009-06-14T11:47:00.000-07:00

Holiday...

Ok perhaps it wasn't soo much of a holiday, more like work but in a different place LOL.

We went to cornwall to take the residents on holiday, They had a good time which all that matters,We couldnt do much really cos it rained most days and as most things are outside we were pretty much stuck for ideas except for shopping!!!

Here's a pic of us all at Lands End, What started off as a horrible rainy day turned into a hot fab day, The nearer we got to lands end the better the weather so we made a great choice there!!!!!

Heres a pic of our chalet where we stayed for the week in Cornwall.

What an amazing.........

2009-05-26T01:14:00.000-07:00

Blog i've found!!!!
This lady deb does some fablous cards and other bits, She is a talented lady and she has done this fab card.. Go and have a look at the link.

www.countrylovincardmaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/spoonful-buttons-galore.html

I e-mailed her about this card and asked if she had or was going todo a tutorial as i would like to cope the design, Deb e-mailed me back with in minutes of e-mailing giving me full instructions and that she was gonna do a tut for it but it would take a few days as she was busy.

Heres my pics of the card it was not quite finished when these was taken.
I am really pleased with the result and def will do it again.

I've tried to crop the pics so you can see different bits i hope this works and the pics are still great.

This is the box i made to put the slab of choc in

These flowers i did on my x-cut and i just chopped into the flowers to make them stand out abit more, Hope it looks ok

I do hope that you like my version of debs card and i would like to thank her once again for allowing me to copy her idea, so if you get a chance please hop back over to her blog and see what else she has been upto

Many thanks for looking

What a strange day.........

2009-05-25T15:18:00.000-07:00

..... The weather cant seem to make up its mind.... It was very warm this morning and sunny then the sun went in and got very overcast, Then it rained for about all of 2 seconds,Then the sun came out again which was good cos we went to the Donkey Darby which was going on down the road from work, So we took a wonder for an hour and then came back and sat in the garden for about 1/2 hour after that it was way to hot.

Where was this thunder storm we were meant to be having this afternoon??? It got very muggy this evening and rain did come again for about wow 3 seconds this time not enough to clean the air :(.

We have been talking about ghost's at work, Which freak me out a bit every time cos the buggers take about it when I'm doing a sleep over and i end up not sleeping very well and on the sofa downstairs with who ever is working.

Well tonight one of the girls who lives in our house kept looking to one side, UN-nerved me a bit and i said to her "what can you see??" and she replied he's there on the chair!!! so i had my small bottle on holy water and i said to her shall i flick some of this water onto him??? which i did and she said thanks he's now gone!!!!!

Now i ain't religious but i never do a night shift without it keeps me feeling safe!!! they started to take the Mickey and asked if i had my crucifix and i said no cos it was in a box somewhere :( otherwise I'd have had that with me too LOL.

I can proberly say this is the one thing i DON'T like about my great job!! its the sleep overs, This month I've done 3, Next month i don't have any thank god!!!!!

Right i suppose i had better get my head down on the sofa in the sitting room cos i ain't sleeping upstairs NO WAY, and that's thanks to Steve starting the convo the bugger LOL

night night one and all, talk again soon

OWW and wish me luck!!!!

Ok about this.......

2009-05-24T12:57:00.000-07:00

Phobia.......

I went back to the circus today cos i thought Jojo and Billy would like it and they did!!!!

IT was different to when i went on friday which was good!!!, Billys face, the first half was a picture shame we wasnt allowed to take pics, he just couldnt believe what he was seeing!!!! LOL

I made myself watch the swinging bit!!! Not soooo bad!!!! I survived like you do, It was good, My heart was pounding but i got throu it, LOL so perhaps its not quite a phobia.. But still very scary. Perhaps its just all in my little mind... What ya think??????

Went to the circus!!!!

2009-05-23T00:25:00.000-07:00

We went to the circus yesterday with work, I hadnt been to the circus for years, was really looking forward to it for the whole week!!!!.

We all sat the nicely waitinf for the show to start, Laughing and joking together and then i looked up, Yep thats right i looked up and saw the SWINGS!!!!!

I have got a phobia about swings, It started after jojo was born and got even worse after i had Billy.
Cant even bear to watch the kids on the swings that are moving slightly, So there i am in the big top,awaiting for the show to start My hearts starting to pound, Palms sweating, Breathing deep trying to calm my nerves.

Then the show started, It was the neatherland's circus they were very good!!! Couldnt tell you what the acrobats were like!!! Cos i had my eyes closed couldn't cope.LOL

Does anyone have any phobias????

How do you.....

2009-05-14T07:37:00.000-07:00

.....All get yopur pics looking soo fab?????

I look at all of yours and they look fab and then i look at mine and they look shite!!!!!

Hopefully someone will be able to help me get it right.

I've been playing............

2009-05-14T06:41:00.000-07:00

2009-05-12T11:37:00.000-07:00

I've made while being away from blogland!!!!!

Oh My God!!!!

2009-05-11T01:43:00.000-07:00

I cant believe i haven't been in since 10th of Feb!!!!.

I do hope you all forgive me greatly, as i have had my life turned upside down, My feet haven't touched the ground since I've started work, and boy am i enjoying myself..

I have met some great people, who have helped me laugh again, I look forward to going to work every day and am almost bored when I'm away, We have such a scream all day and that's thanks to my new friends Steve and Julie!!,

I have also found Face book which has totally taken over too :( its too addictive someone please kick me off, if you see me there LOL, Do you think they have a group like AA??? If so please send me the link as i think i should join!!!!

I haven't been able to do much crafting as i would have like, which is a shame, but the summer is coming so hopefully a lot of it will be spent outside.

I have just had my 34th Birthday last week- Yes i know I'm now getting old :( I'm on the slippery slope downwards to 40:(, I got some great pressies a very nice white gold diamond ring from hubby and some perfume off the kids and some money so the was spent at the local craft shop which i must add is closing down:( (will be greatly missed) so everything is half price so i grabbed lots of goodies and bargains.

The sun is shining today, so need to make the most of it and get outside to do what i don't know cos in my back garden all i have is grass so no gardening needs to be done LOL, i could read a book i suppose while I'm awaiting for the washing machine to finish OH JOY!!!

I have got myself into the new daisy and dandelion stamps, WOW they are gorg!!! I've never been one to have a collection of one stamp range until now!!!!, I have the whole of the first set and got 2 of the new range hopefully i can get the other two lots soon oww and the creativity mag they have a Xmas stamp so must remember to get that one too, I think everyone could be having a Christmas daisy card this year LOL.

I have put up a link to their great site so please go and see if you haven't seen them before.

Right i must get going as i need to go blog hopping as i have missed you all SO much and will try to get back often to tell you all about whats going on with my life

Last monday i was meant to start my new job!!!! Well i guess i didnt get there with all the snow.

I managed to get there on Tuesday and have worked all week, Have loved every minute of it,
I dont think i have laff'd soo much this last week the girls are a scream they are sooo funny, We all just laff about everything and anything.

I'm sooo glad the snow has finally gone well most of it anyway i couldn believe we've just had 2 solid days of rain and we still have some snow left, you'd have thought it would have washed it all away but no!!!

I have a few pics of cards i've made need to upload them to the comp and then i can show you.

I'm slowly on the count down for the "make it" show thats coming to our town!!!!! any one else coming?????? It should be a good one peeps say that last years was good too soo we shall see.

2009-02-01T23:05:00.000-08:00

Its bad!!!!!!:(

Dont get me wrong i LOVE SNOW!!!!!, but not on my first day there!!!!!!

Pauls already left home to try and get to work i called cos they said one road near us was a no go and he said that he was coming home it was too bad out there, so at least i'll be able to try to get to work :(i'm not that far away and on major roads with no hills.

right best get going to finish off the kids porridge to keep them warm today.

It wont let me upload pics so will show you all later

Finally managed to upload the pics the first two are about 6 am this morning and the last one is about mid morning.

Not seen snow like this in years and tonight we're meant to have more and for it to freeze too,
I have had a go at clearing the joint driveway in hope it will give me half a chance tomorrow to get to work!!!! dout the neighbours will thank me thou.

I looked at the bottom of this post and it said i had posted this one on sunday 1st lol i know it was early when i started but not that early, Hopefully now i've edited it it will show as today i posted.

Hope everyone's having a great snowy day and will catch up with you all later

OMG I dont believe it!!!!!!!!!

2009-02-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

The one thing i didnt need for my first day at work is for it to be snowing!!!!!!!!
We have one car and work in the total different direction from each other :( normally it wouldnt be a problem as paul would goto work on his motorbike BUT NOT TOMORROW!!!!!!!

I have arranged for a lift tomorrow, so am hoping my friend will be able to get out, he drives a van so it should be ok!!!! so all send good thoughts that either the snow melts or my lift arrives in the morning.

Here is a couple of pics i took about 9pm one is out the front of the house and the other as you can tell is the back garden.,
As i speak it is still snowing and getting thicker :(, I am also praying that the schools dont close, Not that the kids will mind lol as they will be gutted that they wont be able to make snowmen if they go!!!!!

Right i'll be back tomorrow with an update of my day on my first day at work, hopefully all will go to plan

night night

Coldddddd.

I was really freezing earlier this afternoon, So cold that my bones were hurting in my fingers, it feels like snow out there this afternoon.

I had to pop into town today and it was throwing it down, I sooo hate the rain and once i had got a parking space the rain stop, I was like thank god for that, it stopped long enough for me to get a ticket place in said car and cross the road!!!!!! didnt even get undercover:( was not impressed!!!!.

Have had a very boring day today nothings got done except i cleaned out the kids fish tank at my mums, It has pink water!!!!! why pink water you ask??? thats the very question i asked the man in the fish shop the other week when i went in and asked him to test the water!!!! and even he didnt know :(, so i took out at least half of the water and replaced with new and see how that goes.

I have made a birthday card the other day for a 7 year old she loves hannah montanna, i asked a good friend of mine (from celtic crafters) babs to write me 3 verse for this little girl as i have to make 3 cards for her ,

Heres the first card that i made just 2 more to go, i have scanned this card in and i must say that it hasnt done it any justice!!!!

I have finally found my camera charger WOO HOO so my camera is charging and i will be able to take proper pics and hopefully they will look better than what i've showed you so far!!!.

Well i dont have anything ele to say except i am meant to be making mother in laws birthday card and one for a friend in crafty friends but havent got my mojo it seems to have disapeared am hoping it comes back real soon as have lots of cards to make.

Night night my blogging friends thank you for visiting and reading my waffling and hopefully will come up with something funny and witty soon

I went and got meself a job!!!!!!!! i know i know i can hear you all saying about bloody time too!!!!!!!.

I was sooo scared had butterflies in my tummy felt like i was gonna be sick wanted to run away and hide, I was soo confident about the job right upto the point of the interview!!!
Anyway answered all the questions they were firing at me and was hoping they were the right answers, was in there well over an hour and then it was over and i felt more relaxed and while i was having some documents photocopied the lad who was in there helping with the interview said see it wasnt that bad we'll prob go away and talk about you now!!!lol and i replied well i hope it will be all good im sure it will be he said it was a good interview pheww, they then said they would be in contact in a week to let me know and blow me if she didnt ring within the hour telling i was in!!!!!!!! so now just have to wait for the refs to come back and the crb and pova forms and then i can start!!!!!

Got to go in tomorrow and fill out some more forms and OMG its full time 37.5 a week not worked full time since before Jojo was born, I will be doing 2 full days(8am-9pm) and 2 five and a half hour(ish) shifts and over time if wanted god im gonna be soooo knackered but at least we'll be able to pay the rent lol.

Well we had snow again during the night not much but a light cover and thankfully it is warmer today, It was sooooo cold yeaterday :(, Took the kids out yesterday just to get some fresh air and they were frozen got to my mums and they HAD to have a hot chocolate to warm up and mum HAD to light the fire!!!!!lol.

Its that warm and sunny today i didnt put on a cardi or coat to hang out the washing ;) BRAVE ARNT I??????.

Nothing much planned for today apart from i HAVE TO MAKE Pauls birthday card as its tomorrow so cant not do it!!!!! So when i get it done will post up here for you all to see.

Heres the pics that Paul took on his way to work yesterday

Paul said i the pics it looks like snow but it was freezing fog, doesnt the scenes look gorg!!!!!! He said now he wished he'd got out of the car and took the pics as they may have come out better i think they are good as they are do you???

Thank god its the week-end!!!!!!

2009-01-10T01:55:00.000-08:00

What a week I've had what with forgetting things and Billy's nosebleeds, I've made no cards :(had to give a brought one for Paul's cousin yesterday and have to makes Paul's card for Monday (big 40) and 2 others for next week,
But i did get myself a bargain for the craft shop yesterday ;) a set of clear stamps from Personal impressions 2 girls and 1 boy (he's fishing) and they were only £4.99 not very often that happens lol they are fairly deep clear stamps so will try and get a play with them today!!!.

Billy was poorly during the night :( he had a real high temp even after medication and he was complaining his tummy hurt and he wanted me to call the doc, so he must have felt pants(not even the threat of having to go to the hossie didnt stop him), spoke to the doc and he said that he may have a water infection and to keep an eye on him during the night and if he got worse to call back, But this morning he awoke right as bloody rain typical !!!! god job i didn't insist on they come out lol.

Nothing much planned for today except a pile of washing that needs doing cos i havent been arsed to do it before now and they all are complaining of having no clothes!!!!!:(.

Paul took the car to work this morning as he said it was dangerous yesterday on his motorbike nearly came off 4 times, he has said he has got some hopefully fab pics of the fields all covered in white so when he's home i'll attempt to upload them to the comp and show you all.

I manged yesterday to change my mobile phone tariff WOOHOO I am now getting 300 free texts all i have to is remember to put a tenner on a month and if i put on £30 a month i get unlimited texts dout i'll even use the 300 texts let alone the 30 quid a month on the phone!!!!!!.
So if you wanna enjoy the benefits of my texts you can!!!! but need ya number, and i promise i will be waffling on them just as much as on here!!!! LOL

Have fun and talk again later once i have uploaded paul's pics

WooHoo

2009-01-06T08:02:00.000-08:00

2009-01-06T04:50:00.001-08:00

Never never ever will i do that again!!!!! buy paul a new phone!!!!!!!!!lol

It comes with a disc so you can transfer the pics/addressbk/txts/everything from phone to comp, thought to myself hmmm i'll do that tonight i WONT TAKE LONG!!!! 4 1/2 BLOODY HOURS LATER...... I have finally finished installing the damm disc and updated the updates over 300 updates needed i was pulling me hair out 11.59 last night the last photo had transfered.... so went to bed very tired stressed but happy that i had not let it get the better of me lol.

So i have just edited yesterdays post to show you the snowy pics sorry the 1st 2 pics are dark but it was still dark out there!!!!!lol, The others arnt that great either as they are from my phone which is more pants than pants themselves!!!! but they show you the kids having fun!!!!!.

I seem to have lost my brain between the start of dec till now if you find it on your travels then pls send back asap!!!

I got billy a doc appointment today at 4-30 cos he's having huge nosebleeds for no reason which is good and then i went into town this morning to get 2 things!!!! washing powder and dishwasher tablets came home with shopping from the craft shop and dishwasher tabs and no washing powder :( and i have a mountain of washing so will have to stop off at the shop when on school run, and am having Icelands shopping between 3-5pm tonight!!! (at least i didnt forget the kids this time rofl thats another story!!!!!)
Cool then realised that they would prob deliver while doing school run so called a friend she's staying here while i do the run and pick her kids up aswell!!!

WHATS THE PROBLEM THEN???? i hear you say????

I FORGOT BILLY HAD DOC APPOINTMENT :( AT 4-30PM so i have called me mum and asked her to come and wait while i take bill unless they deliver before then, How dangerous would i be if i had a brain!!!!!!!!!
I think i should just go back to bed and try again!!!! hopefully i wont forget to cook tea.

I have come across some fab blogs since i've been welcomed into blog-land, some of the storys i've read are out of this world!!!!!

On some of them they have card and scrapbooking layouts which is way cool, this has inspired me to go hunting further and deeper on the WWW, before i never went anywhere except hotmail and e-bay lol, NOT NO MORE!!!!!! i have found a fabulious site for page layouts which i have given in an earlier post.

Today i came across this site and she has lots of art work to buy and download and of course some FREEBIES

www.pollycraftsdesigns.co.uk

Go and have a look and see for yourself and if you buy anything ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!!!! LOL. Will have to look at putting a link at the side so everyone can go straight to her site as all traffic helps.

2009-01-05T01:36:00.000-08:00

Awoke this morning to find we have snow!!!!! YEEPEEEEEEEE........................

I've not seen the kids move so quick as they did this morning...... up dressed and was eating their brekkie before 8 am and was playing out by 8.......

Will it be the same tomorrow?????????? dout it lol cos its back to school.

The kids have gone back out to play again and it is snowing again!!!! dont think it will lay thou cos it has warmed up slightly and the paths have become wet!!!! i could be proved wrong, if it does it will become very icy and slippery.

Have taken pics of the snow this morning so will add them later once pauls home as they are on his phone and couldn't work out how to e-mail them over at silly o'clock this morning. So watch this space.

Nothing planned this morning to cold to go out may get out the craft stuff once i've been a domestic goddess bit lol

Happy New Year everyone.
I would like to thank everyone for coming and seeing me in my new blog. Hopefully this coming year you will all be able to see what i'm upto with my cards and life in general.
I have sent off another job form so am hoping to hear back from that this coming week i sooo need a job otherwise life is gonna be rather cold!!!!! i wish them street corners came with heaters ROFL.
The kids need to get back to school they are slowly driving themselves and me mad!!!!!!
Billy got a nice pair of pj's for crimbo they were nemo ones light blue bottoms and the top was dark blue(so i thought!!!!) with light blue arms and he loved them, they got there first wash yesterday put them in with the coloureds and everything came out purpley pink'ish colour!!!!!!!!!
Went throu the wet washing 3 times in case that "red sock/top" sneaked in while my back was turned alas no!!!! BILLYS HEART BROKEN:(:(:(
So last night in my kitchen it was like a chinese laundry i was boiling the bottom on the gas ring and yes got most of the PINK out!!!!woohoo
This morning started on the top arms in boiling water the pink started to come out just like the bottoms BRILLIANT!!!, then came the purple colour OPPS so it was the pj's themselves that coloured themselves :(:( i put the whole top in the boiling water and then put in the bottoms and cooked them for a while so now the bottoms are looking more purpley than pink!!!
I have convinced billy(hopefully) that they are purple not pink!!!!, he was saying to throw them away cos he didn't like them now more:(:(
PLEASE REMIND ME TO WASH IN VERY DARK COLOURS NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!
I have tried to do a sig to put at the end of each post with no much luck :( so gave up on that idea and went onto photobucket and found one!!!!! great i said wow cool!!! tried in in the post below and it just comes up like a picture so that hasnt work!!!!!!!:(:(:(:(
Back to the drawing board i go!!!!
I havent been able to make any cards this week-end so cant show you any!!! hopefully during the week once the kids are back to school, i can get down to making some
see you all again soon

Well yesterday we didnt get to B+Q!!!! Stayed at home most of the day, Billy had his best friend come to play they had fun and then when it was time to go home he decided to pull the curtain rain out of the wall!!!!why you ask???? i and he doesn't have a clue!!!!!!! OWWWW and i put my back out :( OMG it hurts, Went to my mums for tea all the kids together and it was loud but they had fun so thats all that matters, Came home and went to bed to rest my back!!!!!!!

This morning it felt loads better and thought GREAT its better!!! till i got out of bed!!!!!!!, so today its a day to take it easy i think!!!!.

Off to focus to get some wall plugs to mend the curtain rail back to the wall and spend my vouchers just in case they go bust aswell!!!

2008-12-28T02:00:00.000-08:00

Well paul wants to goto B+Q to have a look at their xmas light sale!!!!!! I said that they wouldn't have any!!!!!, i feel that we could be buying lots of xmas lights and decorations that will stay in the xmas boxes like the rest ROFL

So here we come B+Q!!!!!!!LOL it will be nice just to get out and have a wonder get some fresh air into our lungs.

We are off to my mums this afternoon to open the last of the pressies that santa has left, all of the family will be together it will be mad and stressful!!!!!!! but the kids will enjoy it again.... So will need the headache pills ready again!!!!!.

I have got some pics of the kids opening their pressies Christmas afternoon
This is jojo opening some of her pressies in the 1st pic thats Scruffy and in the 2nd pic that Lady and she's never too far away from jojo.

This is billy opening his pressies the 2nd pic isnt tooo great cos he doesnt keep still lol, the outfit he's go on is a fleecey all in one sleepsuit of spiderman once he'd put it on he didnt want to get out of it lol.

Right had better get the house moving if we're ever gonna get out today will come back later and tell you if and what we've brought ROFL.

Christmas cards for an order

2008-12-27T07:56:00.000-08:00

These Shoe Cards gave me a huge headache i used acateate on 2 of them and they would'nt play game and stick down nicely till i asked them which window they would like to leave by!!!!!

This card i feel was by best yet i really enjoyed making this card the pic is a bit blurry but it really life its outta this world!!!!! must admit i did keep blowing my trumpet i didnt want to give it in the order lol,
I have been told that the people that recieved these cards were delighted so im happy and hopefully more return customers.

Back to normal and sale shopping!!!!!!!

2008-12-27T06:52:00.000-08:00

Morning one and all,

I do hope you all had a fab Christmas we certainly did!!!! Joanna and Billy got to many toys it has taken 2 day to open them all. They were good on Christmas day considering that jojo first woke at 12.45 am and came into our room with her stocking box and was all excited saying he's been he's been!!!! She got sent back to bed lol we had only been in bed 1/2 hour ourselves LOL, Billy was next he was up at 3-45am and all you heard from Billy was rip rip rip pitter patter dad dad look at this pitter patter rip rip he was too'ing and fro'ing giving us a running commentary on what he'd got lol.

The day went smoothly, dinner was nice as usual had cooked far tooo much so the dogs had their Christmas dinner aswell LOL.
I have some pictures will post them up soon as soon as i have them on the comp...

I got Some Forever Friends sets 1 was a birthday set and the other 1 was a Christmas one, Have had a bit of a play with them and they stamp out great soo in the next day or too shall be playing more with them and making cards so watch this space.

Decided this morning we was gonna hit the sales!!!!!!!!!! well we walked into game and the queue to pay was nearly out the door so turned around and told kids we're not stopping, we would have been in there well over an hour choosing a game and then paying !!!!NOT MY IDEA OF FUN!!!!!!!.

Went into woolies as its our last day and brought a bratts annual for my friends daughters birthday and a T-pot cup for my aunt for next xmas so i can say i've offically start xmas shopping!!!!!!!!!LOL. walked out of woolies and got home and the realised i hadnt spent my woolies voucher :( every time i'd gone in i forgot to spend it luckly its only for a £1 otherwise i'd be spitting, lol.
It was sad really cos our woolies didnt have anything left and there was kiddies in there trying to spend their vouchers, you'd have thought that once they had announced they were closing they would have stopped selling the vouchers, and peeps who had brought vouchers would have given them early so they could have been spent before it was too late!!!!!!.

Well we're now back home in the warm and kids are playing and causing mischief, i have 2 huge piles of toys and clothes to put away while sorting out all the old stuff, Who's gonna help me??????

I have a pile of photo's of cards i've made before xmas and some of xmas day so will try and get them on here later.

Exchanding of presants

2008-12-06T06:45:00.000-08:00

Well today brings a busy day!!!, We all went off to a really good xmas fair and it was pants!!!!lol no money spent, which is good....

I have a friend coming to visit this afternoon to exchange of presants to give to Santa.... I looked in the special place ;) but couldnt find all the presants :0, went to find the presant list in the secret hiding place and its gone!!!!! :( so now i dont know who's got what.

So a few presants thrown across the room looking for said presants and not finding them i had to go throu what i had to spare and wrap them up and also found that i havent brought all the presants :( i think that a evil xmas fairy has been and pinched them without me knowing!!!! if you see this evil fairy please get my presants back!!

Right best get back to the housework!!!! cos no-one else does it!!!!
