Thank you!

A massive thank you to all the people who sponsored us for the sports relief mile! The family raised over £200 all together which I am really chuffed with!

Well, all my coursework is finished, Dissertaion was handed in without any drama and was quite satisfied with the result, just hope my marker feels the same! Just have three exams to study for now.

Went up to the in laws for easter and had a relaxing time, they treated us to a nice meal (Faith commented at the top of her voice...."I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE THIS POSH!!!") and even managed to get some scrapping done with my sis in law, I love our scrapping evenings, shes great to chat too, we are very similar in our thinking.

Faith managed to bump her face on a cupboard and cut her cheek, I was really worried but was trying to be calm for her sake. It took two hours to get a plaster on and another hour to get it off again the next morning!! Looks a lot better now though!

Back to Uni

It seems like I have been off for ages, now I feel even further behind and still as tired!
Mind you, without not working now I should be able to fit more reading in.
I have been trying to do my buttock clenches as requested by my lovley physio but I dont feel any different and very self concious!

Have managed to fit a bit more scrapping in. I have completed my last CJ entry and it should arrive on the lucky ladies doorstep this morning. When I have my trader rating I can then host the CJ for my ukscrappers team, cant wait!
My Robo is churning out some good work, finished a LO and was very pleased with the result. I have invited Mom and Sis round next sunday for a scrappy day and am off to the crop at eh end of the month. Yeah Me!!

First day

Well Faith did well on her first day, she said they did nothing and it was boring then continued to tell me loads of stuff she had done! I love the way kids minds work!

Did manage to get some scrapping done. Found this photo of me and Dave in Tenerrife. He took me to see the dolphins as a suprise for my 30th. i was so overwhelmed I proposed to him. Luckily he said yes!!

Monday Morning

Monday again.
Faith starts afternoons at school today, then full time next week. Why cant they just start full time straight off? most kids have been in full time child care before school nowadays anyway. Or am I being presumptuous?

Had a busy weekend. Faith had two birthday parties to go too. I always feel like a bit of a spare part at kids parties. I get on well with a lot of the Mums but I always feel a bit out of place. Its not that I'm unsocial but I guess I am a bit shy (even after all these years). I'm not confident that anyone would actually want to sit and talk to me!

Not had chance to do much scrapping for that last couple of weeks. Lost my mojo a bit. Have to complete a CJ to post today so will do that this afternoon when Faith is at school. Bought two guinea pigs for the girls at the weekend, have to take them for their check up this morning, will put some picks up later.

Thanks for the comments, its nice to know someones out there!!!!!

Busy

Wow what a a busy weekend!

After a busy saturday pottering around the house and the normal shopping Sunday was spent at the first Paper Dolls Tamworth Crop. It was so nice to meet some new faces who have similar interests and get some scrapping done in peace!
Monday we risked a day at the beach. We drove to Weston Super Mare, suprissingly it didnt take long and after an over cast morning the afternoon was glorious. The drive home was also relativley short and after an exhausting weekend I felt good for nothing yesterday.

Today is a day for housework but first I have some overdue library books! I did try to start making christmas cards yesterday but ran out or enthusiam before I finished one! Never mind.
Off I go to empty the washer! (looks like the washing fairy is back to work again)

I Won a Prize!!!!

I won a runners up prize on ukscrappers for my 'f is for fun' Lo!

One ticket to the alex for the stamp and scrapbooking show. Now I have to convince my sis to come with me (think I may have alreay done that just by mentioning it) only trouble is its a hundred miles away and although route finder says it will take two and a half hours hubby has said it will take ages and has really put me on a downer again.

I am really having trouble getting a hold on the depression this month. I thought it was getting better, not even worth mentioning but this month it has been a biggy. Maybe because I am feeling a little flat anyway it has compounded, plus being stressed about money.

I cant wait till I am earning again, while at uni has been the only time in my life I have been out if work. I even temped in Debenhams on the perfume counter once to fill a week inbetween jobs. I hate not earning. Hubby said it may take six months to find something when I finish, why is it always different for men? He says its ok for me to be out of work but not for him. Why is that??

why do men put different values on things? It would be handy if they were from at least the same species as women!!

Its friday

Morning,
Its friday, my favorite day of the week.
We are going away to visit the in-laws for a few days this weekend. I'm looking forward to it but I need to do the ironing and packing (left it to the last minute as usual!)

I managed to do a bit of scrapping yesterday but still have two classes I want to do, unfortunatley, cant find where they have been moved to on the website!

Need to make a start on my dissertation for next year. I really wanted to make a big dent in the research before I went back in october. Havent really done much yet, other things keep cropping up that seem more tempting! I didnt want to get to that panicky stage where you are up till all hours trying to read everything! I was talking to a student last year who was doing her dissertation, she had collected the data and the report was due in the following week but she hadnt even decided how to analyse the results!! sometimes I wonder how some people pass.
I work so hard and put in loads of effort to get this far and some stumble their way through and still manage just fine, its very frustrating!!!

Summer Cyber Crop is here!!

Its Here!!!
Its really here!!

Its wednesay, the start of the summer cyber crop on UK scrappers!
Lots of on line classes and not much housework!
TEE HEEE!

I havent bought any kits this time, spent a fortune last time, trying to use up all my scraps in a bid to save some money.
Need to dig my sewing machine out too, some of the classes are stiching, really want to have a go at sewing on a page but havent been brave enough to attempt it yet.
I realy like things like this because it takes you out of your comfort zone. Sometimes its good to have a push in the right direction.
