Well it's Monday after lunch and quiet at last in the house, All the boys are at school and we can finally have a little us time, although not too good, as Steve has hurt his back and can't move, hey ho but at least we can watch what we want on tele and actually hear what we are watching!!! although I do miss them, a week doesn't seem long now to have them bobbing around at home and this half term we were all ill so we didn't get up to much, still won't be long till it's christmas then they will all be home again!! And on that note I'm off to watch some tele in piece.

Ohh Whoops

2010-10-27T11:01:00.000+01:00

It's another one of those 'Oh dear has it really been that long since I posted' So here goes for a catch up.
We had a lovely summer, went to Battle for a weeks camping, which the kids really enjoyed, Nanny and Grandad came to so we got to spend time with them too which was lovely, took the boys up to London on the train and spent the day at the Science Museum which the kids and Nanny and Grandad enjoyed, Grandad got to see the cabinets he had made when he was a carpenter back in the sixites. Mum and Dad hadn't been married long and Dad spent a couple of months living in London while the cabinets were built down in the basement and the good news is they are still there so we got to see what he had made (if you want to see too they hold the domestic history exhibits down in the basement, some of those things bought back some lovely memories too)
Then we just did days out with the boys for the rest of the hols. One big milestone was my little baby started School nursery in the afternoons, so no more day trips out now as he has to go every afternoon, but not for long he starts fulltime at Easter so we will have our days back, which is going to seem really strange after 13 years there will be no babies at home during the day.

Well that was a quick catch up, Now we are looking forward to Halloween, the boys are really excited and so am I as I have the most gorgeous dress to wear, will post pics when I'm all dressed up and you can see it in all its gorgeousness!! But one downside is that we all have the dreaded lurg at the moment, mine started on monday eveing then my middle one was ill through the night so was up with him, so spent yesterday feeling rough, but today almost back to full speed.

Well thats me done will leave you with some pics of our summer, and catch up again soon xxx

Whoops!!

2010-04-12T21:22:00.000+01:00

Long time no post, whoops lol, but have decided that I must post at least every couple of days, so here goes. Well it's the Easter Hols here so all the boys are off school, They have been relatively well behaved, surprise surprise, but little one decided to throw up all over Dad this lunchtime, so raced round and cleaned them up then crawled into bed as I'm not feeling good either. So no scrapping done today but hopefully will get some done tomorrow, willl post some pics when i manage to do something!!

This is me last week when we took my step kids home, in dunwich woods, the weather was beautiful so thought I would pose for a change.

Catch you soon

Whoops didn't realise it was so long since I had posted. It's been busy busy here as normal, Not had any time to craft and am having severe withdrawal symptoms, But today I had a lovely email telling me I had won a prize on the blog hop I did yesterday, Am so excited, I've never won anything from a blog before, can't wait to recieve the beautiful card made by Scrappyjacky Please go and take a peek at her blog, she is a very clever and creative lady. Thanks Jacky, can't wait to receive my card.

Have some new pics of the cat to share, Her new party trick is to take a flying leap at the back of the sofa then launch herself at the curtain and climb to the top, then hang there and look down very pleased with herself. Think I will have to buy some new nets though, but i'm going to wait till shes bored of her new trick!!!

And the last 2 are of the boys at Halloween we all went trick or treating and they loved it, Kalum was very impressed, he knocked on doors and people gave him chocolate, so now he keeps saying he's going trick or treacle tonight, Bless him.

Well thats me rambling done,

Take Care

2009-10-23T11:03:00.000+01:00

Yay It's Friday, and i got a lay in this morning as both the kids were off school and squidge hasn't got playgroup.
It's amazing what a difference the extra half hour makes, lol,

Well It's half term now, so off to Ipswich to pick up Steves tribe for half of half term, Oh what joy a full house with 6 boys, getting excited about halloween and trying to guess how many sweets they are going get.

Think I might have to escape upstairs and play with all my craft goodies, am in the process of sorting out my new desk, so have found lots of 'New' stuff that i forgot i had hehe.
Plus i need to make some ATC's, it's something i've wanted to do for ages so plucked up the courage and joined the ATC trail on Ukscrappers, so this weekend the plan is to make some and post them on Monday so hopefully missing some of the backlog from the pesky postal strike!!!!

Will post some piccies of what i get up too over the weekend

Catch you all soon

What a week

2009-10-11T14:06:00.001+01:00

Have been busy, busy this week, but have managed a couple of makey sessions, pictures above, Also spent 2 days at hospital, one for my middle son, got to go back in 6 months, and for me, i've unfortunatly I've got to lose another 5-6 stone, before the consultant is willing to consider surgery, so looks like i've got at least another year of being in constant pain and not being able to do much, and also lose weight, it's like a viscious circle though, to lose weight need to excerise and follow the diet, but as it hurts to excerise i cant so struggle to lose weight, but i guess if i want my life to get better I've got to do something, so off to the swimming pool this week to find out when i can go swimming and buy my self a new costume as the other ones i have are all to big!!!

Right well thats my rant over for this week lol, now of to pick up eldest son from scout camp oh what joy, yet more washing to add to the pile!!!!

Ouch

2009-10-02T11:54:00.000+01:00

Well it's my own fault, i kept going and going, cleaning and tidying, and although the house looks great, my hip and pelvis have given up the ghost, and today i find myself laid up in bed, hardly able to walk or move. Have got the strongest painkillers and feel totally spaced out, so my plans to scrap and craft the day away have gone out the window, but at least i can catch up on some reading, both paper and cyber reading, havent been on a blog tour for a while so think i will go and do that.

Catch you all soon

Love Me xx

I Scrapbooked!!!!!!!

2009-09-08T22:50:00.001+01:00

Whoo Hooo, get the flags out I actually scrapbooked some photos yesterday!!!!! 1st time in errrmmmm cant remember it was so long ago!!! Also sorted out the desk so I can see it and found all the goodies I have bought over the last few months, so ready to scrap again.

Kalum went to playgroup for the 1st time on Friday and throughly enjoyed himself, and was he bothered that mummy was leaving, was he heck!!!! Mummy is trying not to shed a tear that her baby is grown up enough to start playgroup and her 'baby' just wants to play with the trains!!! Quote of the day was ' I not go in pushchair any more I walk I go to big school now' He went again this morning and I hadn't even got his coat on his peg before he's saying 'Bye Mummy you go now I play trains'!!

Well I'm off to bed, Will catch you all very soon, Will leave you with some pics of my first scrapbook page and Kalum on the way to playgroup.

Stop the ride I want to get off!

2009-08-23T14:12:00.000+01:00

Wow, what a busy couple of weeks, We just dont seemed to have stopped. Have had the full tribe for a week but didnt manage to go camping as the tyre blew on the car 10 mins down the road and it took 3 hours to sort getting it fixed and by then we didnt want to go camping, all we wanted was a large beer and some peace and quiet, so we mouched around at home and had a couple of days out.

So then took them home and went straight to mums caravan in Wroxham for the last week. We had a lovely time, weather was beautiful, I even managed to sneak in a trip to Ikea!! Whoo Hoo as Kalum would say, I was a good girl and only spent £20 which for me is very restrained!! But did get a big bag full of stuff so now need to find somewhere to put said goodies hehehe!!!

Brandon is at a Football tournament today, i sneaked home to put Kalum to bed and tidy up a bit, although didnt seem to get much tidying done! Will post some pics once i find the card reader which seems to have magically disappeared between here and Wroxham, Ho Hum better go search for it.

Take care all

Home for a rest!!!!

2009-08-10T10:02:00.000+01:00

Wow, what a weekend, have just got back from Partylite Conference in Birmingham, 1000 women packed in to one room and lots of singing, screaming and dancing on chairs(and yes i did, even though i had said that i would never do that!!) Learnt lots of new things, Saw some beautiful new products and met lots of lovely people from all over the country. Have posted some pics of me dressed to the nines at the Gala Dinner Saturday night.

Have Fun

Well This is it!!

2009-08-07T17:36:00.000+01:00

I have finally succumed and got a blog, Steve says I need to scrap first before having a blog, but i think if i got the blog it will make me go scrap so i can share my creations with the world!!!

But having said that, finding the time over the next few weeks might be slighty difficult as i dont think i'm going to be stopping and sitting down for long enough to scrap lol, I'm off to Birmingham tomorrow for the weekend, then we have all the tribe for a week including going camping for 2 nights, then we are taking half the tribe home and it's our turn to go away in mum's caravan, heavens think i'm going to need a break to get over the break hehe.

So will share some photo's to get us started of our visit to abbey gardens last week.
