The weather is soo humid it just makes me not want to do anything and i have lots to do. On Sunday we went to the car boot my favourite or of my favourite pastimes and i was so chuffed i got myself lots of clothes which is usually unheard of. I got some summer bits too for my youngest.
We have our holiday on Monday im so excited, i have just rang the school about my daughter getting permission to go on holiday and they have said she is not being granted official permission but it will go on her record as taken but not agreed by them as they know she is still going to go regardless. Do they really expect us to cancel the holiday beacause they have said she cant!!! Her attendance is 93% but she has to have 95% for it to be granted i think that is just plain silly from a child that has NEVER had any time off during term time for a holiday in her life but there you go.

We went to see my in laws after the car boot who i haven't seen in a little while as hubby tends to go with the little one. I took some pictures in there garden of some lovely flowers they had and im so pleased they turned out fantastic. My best set of pictures so far i think.
We went to see some friends too that we haven't seen for at least 6 months so it was nice to catch up.

When we get back from holiday we are planning on decorating the bathroom so my thinking cap is already on.

HOT HOT HOT!!!!!

The weather is so hot it makes you not want to do anything, well im here at this silly o'clock because i cant sleep and its even worse as hubby is roasting next to me and has to be up too in little over an hour for a drive to Edinburgh to do with work. I dont envy him 6hours of driving.

My little one went to pre school today so i had a nice few hours in town on my own and managed to get my older daughter some denim shorts and a vest top for our holiday which is very soon and also some new underwear, she was very pleased.

Ive been to Asda too today and discovered they have dresses in my size and they were very nice too, i was sooo close to buying a skirt too today but the last minute i changed my mind hahah. Anyone who knows me knows i NEVER wear skirts so its a rare treat but i still might go back and buy it lol.

Hubby came and met me in town and we went to fetch little one from pre school, hubby had trouble with a mini bus he has to deliver to Edinburgh the battery is knackered even using jump leads had no effect at all, at the last minute he managed to get a 2nd hand battery phew so he will be delivering today bless.

A near accident happened earlier today and scared the life out of me, i was on the phone to my brother and hubby said im going to fill the bus with fuel so off he went up the drive unbeknown to me little one followed him. I seen her at the last minute my husband hadn't noticed her either instead of going forward to the bus luckily she ran along side it or the consequences could of been disastrous. I was shaken for a while after.

While in Wales at the weekend my sister did me 2 star tattoos on my foot and they are fab but she was sooo nervous about doing then that that's as far as she got as i was having 4 to start with. Im so happy with them and cant wait till shes down and can do me some more. If i can persuade her too i would like to ahve another tattoo on my other foot even though its VERY painful haha.

Its Been a While!!!

Well its been a while i must say and i have thought 'shall i carry on with this or not' and i ve thought why not so here i am.
Ive been sorting gardens and rooms out, we have also been to a festival for a weekend which was fantastic and met some great people too. There was live music, mediation young kids break dancing, belly dancing roll on next year.
The weather has been fantastic too im a lovely golden brown now after much sunburn i must add.

We spent a weekend in Wales recently too visiting my mum and sister and had a great time the weather was gorgeous again. My husband threw my 14year old daughter in the sea she was not amused lol and had thoughts about getting me but it didnt happen lol.

My husband has won a few trophies too racing his nitro car and is well chuffed. He has been busy designing his new shell he got for his car i must say he has alot more patience that i have.

We have had the gas men re newing the pipes underground but they such a pain digging up right in the driveways and trucks and lorries and diggers etc blocking our little bit of road.

We are due to go away for 4 days soon to the Isle of Wight im so excited lol worse than the kids, once we are back its nose to the grind stone with the decorating of the bathroom.

Catching Up

Well would you believe it when i last wrote on here i said my mum and sis may visit on the Friday, later on that same night i was washing the dishes (oh the joys of being a housewife) and the front door burst open and there they were. I had tried getting hold of my mum on msn during the day no wonder she was'nt answering.
We went to see my 2 brothers on Friday for my mum and sis to catch up with them and as my brother does alot of wheeling dealing and had just bought alot of art and craft bits, my mums idea of heaven..
We arranged to go back on the Saturday too as he was due to bring more of the stuff back to his warehouse, he had ropped his his fiancee into helping him too and his little side kick we call fraggle.

The weather has been terrible so no car boot this week, also we had been scouring the net and found the gay pride of Birmingham so my mum and sister decided to go home early on the Sunday and come back on the Thursday of this week.

We had to take little one to the doctors as she was quite hot and her breathing was very fast and crackly, it turns out she has a chest infection they have given us a nebulizer and some steroid tablets for the next 3 days. I have since found out my mum has got it too and has not been too good.

GET WELL SOON MUM when you read this love ya xxx

Kids!!!!

The week just seems to have sped by i cant keep up, little one didnt go to pre school on Wednesday as she had a huge tantrum and then promptly fell asleep so there was no point waking her as she would of just been very grumpy.

Its been a nightmare this week with her 1 day she ate a whole packet of my flavoured rennies, then she stuffed a sultana up her nose. I started panicking cos it was quite a large 1 but luckily i managed to scoop it out.
Today she was continually rubbing her nose and i said to her "whats wrong" she said "balls" we have had some little polysterene balls floating around recently from an old beanbag and she had put some up her nose.
I blocked her other nostril off and told her to blow which she did and out shot 1 large ball and a little 1 then afterwards she said "all gone" then went on to have a fit of sneezing. Kids!!!!!!!

I receieved my letter from the hospital to inform me my smear test was normal that was a weight off my mind with everyhting in the news regarding Jade.

We went to toddler group today and ive never seen so many there at 1 time it was chaotic and lots of babies too which we dont usually have, we continued into town afterwards as we needed some filler and to pay some bills. Hubby met us at the library as i had got bored with my books usually Friday is my library day.

As its very close to finishing the living room i am now thinking about the bathroom and my daughters room. We will be getting the tiles weekly as we need so many and until we have them all we wont start on that room.
In the meanwhile i have asked my daughetr to think about how she would like her room, she is definite on the colours which will be 3 different blues.

I'm hoping my mum and sister come down tomorrow for a visit, they were going to last week but realised they were a bit short. So here's hoping they arrive tomorrow i will also have some company as hubby is racing his nitro cars on Sunday in a competition and will be gone all day.

Odd Jobs

The weather has been gorgeous today apart from a bit of wind, im not sure if i will get used to having time on my hands and you get used to having someone with you all the time, it was very strange walking up the road having dropped off little one to pre school, no changing bag no pushchair just me.

I read in the news today that Peter Andre and Katie Price have split i must say im shocked as i thought they were great together although i thought she was very bossy with him but they were a good couple.

We went to a new car boot for a change it was quarter of the size of our usual 1 much to my hbby glee i think. I bought a gorgeous brown chunky framed mirror just what i had been after, after cracking the glass we had cut for an old frame we had. It was a bargain at £6 the lady said she paid £60 for it ohh i do love a bargain.

The front room is having the last finishing touches added to it and i must say looks great and im really pleased with it. The skirting board holes need to be filled and a bit of paint done.
Over the weekend alot of little jobs that have been put off was done and they look great more homey now. The bookshelf i had for little ones room is now in place and so are her butterfly wings lol. We put up the table and bench we got from freecycle too which is for the garden and a storage tub. The shelves in the kitchen were finally put up too.

We discovered yesterday my older daughter had been using the home phone to ring her friends on there mobiles in the morning from our imtemised phone bill!!! Therefore she has had her mobile taken away and been grounded she is like a caged animal at the moment but im hoping she will of learnt her lesson.

Bank Holiday

Well it been a busy few days since i was last here, the living room is coming together nicely just a few odd bits here and there to finish and thats the room complete. It looks so nice i cant believe it. We also got some floating shelves £30 cheaper so that was good.
We didnt really do anything over Bank Holiday Monday.

My brother and 2 nephews came to visit from Devon it was nice to see them, we usually go and see them so it was nice they made the effort to come here for a change. They also came to the car boot and he was well chuffed he got a 2 man tent for a tenner.
My hubby has offered our services to the neighbours to look after there chickens while they are away so that should be fun hahah.
We met up with my other 2 brothers while my older 1 was down and had a carvery paid for us too, it was good all getting together they also brought there friends Mandy and Martin. They were 9 of us in total i love it when we catch up though as there is always so many of us.
We came home and one of my younger brothers was meeting his fiancee at our house as she was picking him up on the way home from a christening she had been to in Cardiff. She also had my younger brothers children with her Chloe and Ryan it was great to see them as its been quite a while.
