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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">We went to see some friends too that we haven't seen for at least 6 months so it was nice to catch up.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">When we get back from holiday we are planning on decorating the bathroom so my thinking cap is already on.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-14209862026588906132009-07-02T00:47:00.003+01:002009-07-02T01:04:10.936+01:00HOT 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-74312122217646750832009-06-30T17:08:00.002+01:002009-06-30T17:36:40.486+01:00Its Been a While!!!<strong><span style="color:#333399;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#333399;">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.

I had tried getting hold of my mum on msn during the day no wonder she was'nt answering.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">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..</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">GET WELL SOON MUM when you read this love ya xxx</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-20647159181754374582009-05-14T16:58:00.003+01:002009-05-14T17:14:53.833+01:00Kids!!!!<strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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!!!!!!!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#330099;"></span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-11473933344575878912009-05-11T20:36:00.003+01:002009-05-11T20:54:57.003+01:00Odd Jobs<strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#336666;">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!!!

It looks so nice i cant believe it. We also got some floating shelves £30 cheaper so that was good. <br />We didnt really do anything over Bank Holiday Monday. <br /><br />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. <br />My hubby has offered our services to the neighbours to look after there chickens while they are away so that should be fun hahah. <br />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. <br />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. </strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-27834617663157610202009-04-30T16:31:00.004+01:002009-04-30T16:50:18.571+01:00Living Room<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">Sunday morning was car boot day and i may add the favourite day of the week for me, i went there set on hopefully finding a big pine chunk framed mirror. I didnt find it but i did get alot of bargains im pleased to say. The whole field was packed by the time we got there and people were still coming to look at 12.30 ish when we had finally got round the 14 aisles.</span></strong><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">Monday we did more painting in the living room it makes such a difference just by the different colours and papers you use. It looks massive now and so clean. I took little one to pre school and her little school bag she loves it. The only problem is when she goes in the afternoon she does not get chance for a sleep in the day so therefore is a bit grotty when she finishes and it usually means an early night after trying to stop her falling asleep at the dinner table which can be very funny.</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">Tuesday i recieved a plant i asked for on freecycle she said it was a big one, well wow even i was not prepared for the shear size of it hahah i could just make out my hubby between the leaves as he carried it in hahah.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">I cleaned and sprayed all the leaves and cut the brown dead bits of the ends of the leaves and its looking almost healthy now.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">Wednesday hubby had his dentist appointment after having the day off yesterday thinking it was in the morning only to discover it was today (Weds) he made me and my daughter an appointment as im sure i ahve gum disease on the bottom of my mouth and its is swollena nd very painful sometimes.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">We took little one to pre school then went off to town to have a look at flooring, if anyone knows us they know what we are like at making decisions. Im pleased to say though that we both chose 3 lots of laminate flooring we liked and then nailed it down and we bought it there and then. How about that miracles do happen now and again.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">We covered our old what was cream sofa from Ikea with some old brown curtains we had and i must say they are looking fab.</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">Today we have been covering the second sofa and it is looking just as good as the first one, my hubby has been using my sewing machine to get the finishing look on it and i must say very impressive. Later will be the start of laying the laminate flooring and i cant wait. Its all coming together now and taking shape. I've been chatting to my mum on MSN and she said she will dare not sit on the sofa. Ive warned her no making any mess hahaha.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-MHiXEecrtTIRTpH-2wMqdPWR8imRbMh3XJbfAQoEpdjqaBZeWztCpPKVSjmVP6YtejQNTUndUVllmO38SwY0sVcjxPK8Y9rFGAtaeP56IjkX-ImEsSFfJl6WL33Fj2QDeJl6f5nDdo/s1600-h/1st+day+at+pre+school.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330511605803595474" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-MHiXEecrtTIRTpH-2wMqdPWR8imRbMh3XJbfAQoEpdjqaBZeWztCpPKVSjmVP6YtejQNTUndUVllmO38SwY0sVcjxPK8Y9rFGAtaeP56IjkX-ImEsSFfJl6WL33Fj2QDeJl6f5nDdo/s320/1st+day+at+pre+school.JPG" border="0" /></a> This my little one on her 1st day at pre school just before we left for home.</span></strong></div>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-87560216161258554192009-04-25T21:28:00.004+01:002009-04-25T21:34:09.336+01:00Wallpapering<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">My sister went home on Thursday after helping hubby out with some driving jobs, my one little cried her eyes out bless her but was back to her cheerful self once she was given a biscuit haha.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">My older Daughter went to the fair with her friend last night (Friday) and thoroughly enjoyed herself.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">I met her mum also and we discovered we both have a love for car boots.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">Today hubby has been wallpapering the living room all day and i have been tea lady and keeping little one out from under his feet.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">I must say just having the wallpaper up makes the room look bigger, we have just put up embossed paper and then we intend to paint it magnolia on all the walls except the chimney breast which will be painted Expresso Shot a nice chocolate brown colour i cant wait.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#cc0000;">If the weather holds out then we are off to the car boot tomorrow too yippeee.

The Easter holidays are now over and oldest daughter is now back at school im pleased to say. We have had the wall plastered in the living room at long last and we are due to start the decorating this weekend i cant wait. My hubby plastered all the skirting board area so the boards have something to screw onto while i sanded the boards down and washed them with sugar soap all ready to be painted.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">In the meantime we have also painted little ones room magnolia as that was all that needed doing to it and i have put her pictures up now there is just a nice little shelf unit to put up, which i bought from the car boot last week.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">We were soo lucky and was on my pc at the right time, as someone was offering 50ish rolls of turf just what we needed so hubby went to fetch them. I nearly killed myself helping him to un load the van haha but it was very funny too, i just never realsied they were so heavy. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">The turf has now been laid and looks great it makes such a difference, we are having to water it regularly as the sun is so hot at the moment.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">I have been sitting in the garden reading alot too and have now been sunburnt and im so sore, my little one has loved being outdoors some much but made sure i smothered her in suncream as she is so pale.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">My daughter has made a new friend Amy who im not too sure about but we will see, my daughter has been getting out more regular which i like to see in stead of being stuck in all the time, they went swimming on Sunday too.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">My sister has been down for the last 3 days helping my hubby with some driving work, i must say i find it very strange as she usually comes down with my mum and Zac the dog but this time mum stayed at home as she is trying to get some craftwork done. My sis is really pleased about the work as it will give her some extra money but was a bit dubious about driving big mini buses compared to her little puegot 106 but she has been fine driving them apart from a little mishap hahah.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">My little one started pre school today she went off fine and i was left high and dry but im glad she liked it, she just seems too small for pre school bless her. I had a lovely 2 hours no tv no noise just me and my book bliss.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;">I fetched little one at 3pm and we walked home and she cried the whole time because she wanted to stay there.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#993300;"></span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-35796339500815702082009-04-13T20:18:00.004+01:002009-04-13T20:32:36.955+01:00Easter Weekend<strong><span style="color:#663366;">Not alot to say really we had an uneventful Saturday im pleased to say, we went to visit my hubbys mum as we had'nt seen them for a little while.

The realisation never really hit me until a few hours later and then i bawled my eyes out, its not much to ask is it i only want my freedom to come and go when i wish!!!!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">Later the same evening i noticed my little one had been playing with my hearing aid batteries, i asked her where they were and to my horror she opened her mouth and pointed. I asked her if she had eaten them and she nodded i was gobsmacked and she knows that they are used in my ear. I had to call my hubby home from his race track to take us to the hospital, as i rang NHS direct and they had said to get her there asap.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">Ml was taken for an xray after waiting hours to discover she had eaten 3 of them and they wanted her kept in overnight just so they could monitor her, hubby took me and the older daughter home at 2am we were shattered while my hubby returned to spend the night with little 1.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">My hubby text me the following morning to say they were releasing her but we had to keep an eye out for the appearance of the batteries within the next 24 hours otherwise we had to take her back.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">Well i can tell you they did arrive thank goodness but what a horrible messy job hahaha. Phew calm is restored for now!!!!!!!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">Since this little accident we have now put a lock on our cleaning cupboard as a precaution.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">I got ready to go to the library and sorted all my books arrived there to realise that its Good Friday and its closed today grrrrr.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">My hubby has managed to borrow a flattener (not sure of the real name) to level the garden out now it has been dug, he went to get petrol for it and then decided it was going to pour with rain.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">He is off now until Tuesday so i will have to find lots of little jobs for him to do otherwise i maybe sick of the sight of him by Tuesday (joking) but im not joking about the jobs hahah!!!!!!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#339999;">We have sorted out the pc room which looks alot better now and also hubby must of thought he had the wrong house because i changed the living room around too it had been driving me mad, also next week we have the plasterers in at long last.</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-61839689880764215112009-04-06T14:03:00.003+01:002009-04-06T14:17:17.331+01:00Antics<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#663366;">We went to toddler group albeit a bit late (Thursday) ML enjoyed it she even joined in with the singing which she does'nt normally she is really coming out of herself more with other kids its great to see. We popped to Asda for some bits for tea then went for the </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#663366;">appointment at the pre school it went very well, although i discovered the appointment was for last week hahah opppss.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">My 2 year old will be going twice a week after Easter a Monday from 1pm till 3pm and then Weds the same times, she was off playing as soon as we arrived so im sure she will have no problems. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">I had a driving lesson on Saturday which went REALLY well simply beacause my instructor has finally realised a year or so of driving and 3 driving tests what im actually doing wrong, can you believe that!!!!!!!! My hubby and i went for a drive too so i could show him what i was on about and he has noticed how much smoother my driving is im sooo happy.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">Sunday was car boot day the 1st one of the year and it was heaving by the time we arrived which was 8.15am and the field is huge too, i got some great bargains but not as much as i thought. The sun was shining so i was not complaining i even caught the sun on my face. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">We got back home and rummaged through what we had bought. My daughter JR had her own money this time and bought herself some bits she was really chuffed. Little one went to bed for a few hours and i had a kip too while hubby went up the race track as they have the national races on there this week.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">We went for a drive again tonight(Sunday) and ended up going to visit my son and his girlfriend who are doing very well.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">Well my next driving test is on Tuesday and im quietly confident about it all and i cant wait im so excited.

She has stopped being sick and now has bad dirorreha and not really drinking much at all. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;">We took her to the doctors last night and he says she has a viral bug and just to keep trying to give her fluids to help her. Its awful though when your child is ill you dont know what to do for them. She has slept loads so hopefully that is helping her too.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6600cc;">My husband has now finished digging all the top layer of the garden off and now its ready to be dug and raked over level. We also cut the back hedge which leads onto an alley and it looks soo much neater.</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>I planted my seeds and plants into the pots and also added soil to some of my plants that are looking a bit sorry for themselves.

Alot of the young lads at her school she told me dressed as girls and she said how funny it was. I bet it was a sight for sore eyes hahah. My hubby went to get a part for his nitro car that he had smashed off, i was dropped off at the library for my weekly dose of books.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#336666;">I had a book on order for coping with teenagers as im finding it quite hard with my daughter at the moment. She is always moaning or sulking etc and it drives me up the wall and i know i dont deal with the situation very well, so i have got some books to see about alternative options.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#336666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#336666;">Today we have been hard at work in the garden i started cutting the brambles at the bottom and found alsorts of things albeit to name a few, old paint tubs,paintbrushes, corrugated sheeting,lumps of wood also even the side of a shed would you believe, you name it i think we had it.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#336666;">The weather has been lovely the sun was shining and it was a bit blowy but a nice combination. My daughter even got involved today and dug up the old washing line. She is soooo going to ache tomorrow i have'nt told her that i will wait for the whinging and whinning tomorrow as i know it will happen.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#336666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#336666;">My youngest daughter ML has some kind of bug i think, she has been sick a few times today and has not managed to keep anything down bless her. I was holding her and ended up with a shoulder and back full of sick at one point she has been a bit grizzly which is unlike her but i guess its from being frightened opf being sick. I hate it so i cant imagine how it must feel to a 2 yr old.</span>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-8643768842554337362009-03-12T17:30:00.002+00:002009-03-12T17:48:34.692+00:00Busy Bees<strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#993399;">Me and ML went to toddler group this morning, i usually take her every Thursday she really enjoys it.

It is quite a big job but it will look great once it is done. I have been digging the borders and getting the weeds out. Also getting the weeds from between the paving slabs.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;">I now ache as you can imagine so a nice hot bath after dinner will sort me out im sure, followed by getting into bed curled up with my book, sounds like heaven.</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-78643448871734468982009-03-11T17:30:00.002+00:002009-03-11T17:38:08.262+00:00Feeling Rough<strong>Yesterday was not a good day i felt really rough, i had a headache, like i had been out on the beer the night before.

I got some seeds for when the garden is ready too.</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-43311313009174868022009-03-07T21:46:00.003+00:002009-03-07T21:50:51.440+00:00Aching<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330099;">I have aches and pains galore today from digging the garden, my husband has been taking the top layer of grass off so we can put seed down, i have been digging it over ready to level and i ache.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#330099;">We went over and fetched my daughter it was'nt long before she got her attitude back...dont you just love teenagers.</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"><strong>I actually managed to get my 2 year old some gardening gloves she will love them they will still be too big but much better than marigolds!!!!</strong></span>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-89893110558598857292009-03-06T22:25:00.003+00:002009-03-06T22:38:05.096+00:00Birds, Nuts & Worms<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#003300;">We have been told that the wall in the front room will now need replastering and could take upto 2 weeks for them to come back and do it. In the meantime my hubby has decided to start on the garden as the living room has come to a halt. My hubby has been removing the top layer of the lawn ready to rake over and put some grass seed down, it is going to be a long job but there is no rush.</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333300;"><strong>Our little helper ML has been out helping us too in her "Dora the Explorer" wellies, i think just being outdoors for her is enough she absolutely loves it any chance she gets.</strong></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;">Ive discovered that the birds round here are very posh i have 3 nets full of nuts for them and they have'nt touched them and ive tried to think of ways of enticing them into the garden, now hubby is digging they are swopping in for the worms grrr. My camera will be on the alert. I have it set up and ready on the tripod i will catch them if it kills me.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;">We met the neighbours today too, we have seen them in passing but not actually spoken to them before. They were giving us all the info on the previous people that lived here and the neighbours round about us.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333300;">Ive been to the library and got my weekly dose of books this week i have books out on gardening, dealing with teenagers and SLR cameras that should keep me going. My older daughter JR has gone to stay at her brothers for the night so no moods or arguments tonight just peace and quiet and my books.</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603401436144469981.post-60558080379553416572009-03-05T16:16:00.003+00:002009-03-05T16:29:34.044+00:00Blast from the past<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#663366;">Yesterday we went to visit a blast from the past, she lived with us as family when her dad and my mum went out together. We had'nt seen her for about 14 years it was really good to catch up, she did us lunch too and that was really nice.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">We stayed there for quite a few hours catching up and reminising about the escapades her and my sister used to get up to as there is only a year between them.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">Today my mum and sister have gone home, it was like they were moving house the amount of stuff they had and that was without the stuff my husband had taken to there house the previous day as he was going that way.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">My mum had been meaning to use my sewing machine since she has been here but as we were gallivanting she never got chance so she has taken that home too.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663366;">Even though they are not noisy people the house seems very quiet now.</span></strong>Daisy Dohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11355058005925111921noreply@blogger.com0
