Can You Believe It!

Got up Tuesday got ready for work, dropped little Lou off at school, set off for my day ahead, my pocket started to ring i reluctantly answered my phone as i was driving, to my dear hubby he happily wished me a happy anniversary!! OMG! i forgot our wedding anniversary i couldn't believe it (i had remembered it 2 weeks ago) i blame the fact that i had another important event happening that i am preparing for! LOL which is happening tomorrow! yeah! Anyway later on Tuesday Colin had admitted that he also had forgotten and it was his sister that had mentioned it the day before - i didn't feel quite so bad - what are we like a couple of sieve heads!

So update today - nothing really just organising stuff to make things easier for the folks being left at home, while i am having a blast in Bristol

i have been tagged by Di i will have to think about the 5 things! But who am i going to tag? all my bloggy chums have been tagged already i wonder if Elsie, Cathy, Kirsty, Donna and Ali mind if i tag them LOL

Anyhoo i will come back and let you know all about my time on camp probably, sometime Sunday as i am going out with Colin and sisters in laws on Saturday night

Ciao for now :)

Getting organised!

Well SCRAPCAMP is this Thursday! am I excited? am I, Oh! heck yes. I think I am ready, piccies are all printed off for the classes that I am taking, made the name badge, got the alcohol, pjs and most importantly my scrapping chocolate - Minstrels. Yep! so thats me sorted. Just need to organised the rest of the Simpsons think I will have to make up some meals cos they will just eat take-aways the whole time i am away LOL.

We went to Ikea yesterday to get some ideas for our and Jason's bedrooms. I said to Colin that the weekend after Scrapcamp that we should move out of our old bedroom and make the move into the new extension so Jason could get into his own room finally. As Colin works away all week we don't seem to get the time to crack on with the little, but much needed jobs that need to be done to make the room a bedroom, so i thought by the fact of me moving in there it would hopefully provide the kick up the backsides that is needed.

Saturday night was very stormy here in Wiltshire about 2:30am it all kicked off, my poor animals they were complete wrecks i ended up trying to sleep on the settee with them all wanting reassurance think we all finally fell asleep about an hour later once the storm moved on.

Ciao for now

Work Experience

Well i took Ryan to school today with his bag to catch the bus for Chepstow Army Camp, as i mentioned in an earlier waffle, he is doing his work experience with the Army oh! my ickle baby has gone away for a week, this isn't his first time away from home, but this feels different somehow!

Jason has started his motor course at the college on a one day release from school he is really enjoying it so far.

Oh! had some exciting news yesterday my best friend has just found out she is pregnant its due next May so huge congrats to you hun :)

Nat/Gem i will try and find some piccies of my horse i haven't any on the comp! may be it will be just easier to go take some more pics! need to take one with Lewis sat on him anyway so there you go, thanks for the kick!

Anyway as i haven't put any photos up for a while i will introduce you to my other boys in my family Kane, Basil and Pugsley

Ciao for now

Is Wednesday here already!

Well ummm....what has been going on....not alot really, Saturday was a blast had far too many vodkas but i wasn't ill and i escaped the hangover on Sunday too so was pleased about that but i am worn out.
Monday spent a couple of hours in town with Ryan he is off this week from school as his year is on their work experience and he is doing his next week with the Army. anyway we decided it would be in all our best interests that we invested in a juicer so that was our mission we finally purchased one from Currys.
When i got Lewis from school i told him about the juicer he was so excited, we all picked blackberries from the field where we keep our horse, the boys popped over to next door and picked a load of apples (they did ask first LOL) they then took it in turns to put the fruit into the shoot. I am really chuffed as Lewis doesn't like blackberries but he thought that the apple/blackberry drink was lush, he even asked if we could put carrots in the juicer in stead of him eating them! anyway that was Monday

Tuesday...work nuff said :D

So today...was informed by a buddy that there is a piccy of me and another buddy in Papercraft essentials mag the photo was taken at the last Scrapcamp, well that is going to be closest i get to being published :P not seen it yet though.
Went back into town to get Ryan some trousers for his Army thingy he is staying on a camp for the week, we have a kit list, of course he doesn't have any of it!

I had another play with the CJ entry that i started, must complete it by Scrapcamp which is by the way 2 weeks away! i have nothing prepared for it, Elsie Flannigans class requires 4 pieces of memorabilia and wallets size photos Giselles class needs 20 photos! really should get my finger out.

Well that all folks! Catch up soon :)

Back Ache!

I have got to get a new mattress! i have turned it fairly regularly, but my god i wake up and i ache from top to bottom. Anyway, despite a lousy nights sleep we all got to school, work just fine and dandy.

Well that was the most exciting thing that has happened, in work tomorrow and Friday then hey! hey! its Saturday, Lewis is off to spend the night at nannys, Colin is off to the Van Fest and little 'ol me ---> well i am off to 'Bath' so look out here i come! i have a new shirt and new daps (dont do heels cant walk in em when sober, let alone when three sheets to the wind!) a little bit of fake bling :) thats me then ready for my date with a bar!

here is Lewis fashioning his zigs zags and the classic piccy of 'back to school'

Sorted!

Well the summer holidays will be over for us as from tomorrow, Lewis is going into year 2, Jason is going into year 10 he will be studying his chosen options and starting his apprenticeship and Ryan well he is in his last year!! the big exams! cant believe it, where has 16 years gone!

Took little Lou to the hairdressers this morning he wanted zig zags shaved on the side of his head (not sure whether he will get told off at school) he looks so grown up - bless him, he is looking forward to the return to school. Will have to have that camera ready to get those 'back to school' shots. i think we are now sorted! if not well thats just tough!

Well i have made a start last night on a CJ entry, i have had it for a couple of weeks now, have been avoiding it :D anyway thought i had better get on with it, its not finished, i didn't go to bed until 1:30 this morning - so i was obviously having a good time :D glad the boys werent back to school today as all we would have all been late as i didnt wake up until 9!

Thanks! Gem and Nat :)

Fire!

Jason had cooked sausage sandwiches and cleared up the kitchen. When I entered the room I could smell what was like jos sticks, Ryan said that they had added spices to their sausages and that is what I could smell. Anyway I went into the kitchen later I could still smell it, plus the room was a tad bit smoky. So I started hunting around the kitchen looking for where this smell/smoke could be coming from, it seemed to come from the washing machine (Great, that is all I need, a burnt out washing machine - with piles of washing waiting to be done!) I turned it off and pulled it out, yeap definitely, the smell was stronger there! But it wasn't the machine - it was coming from next door! So not to risk anything we rang the fire brigade, they were brill. There wasn't a fire thankfully, next door have an open fire the smoke is leaking through somewhere, so that will need to be sorted out somehow, anyway, they fitted us up with new smoke detectors and Lewis got to sit in the fire truck.

Took Jason to the orthodontist yesterday, his teeth aren't bad enough to be funded by the NHS. After we went to Victoria Park so the boys could go to the skate park, so 'twas another busy day.

We are going to have an Indian takeaway and we have got a DVD 'Hostel'(hubbies choice!)

So Ciao for now :)
