The weather has been horendous today pouring it down all day got soaked goin to school and back this mornin got changed and dried then went to my mums as a nurse was comin to show me how to give her injections i was quite nervous this morning but the nurse was lovely talked me through every step and i did it perfectly my mum and dad were proud of me and i was proud of myself for doin it nurse is comin again next week to go through it again with me then after that i will be on my own to do it if it helps my mum then i dont mind.
Here are 2 los i did this afternoon whilst the weather was bad am halfway through another but been tryin to sort DD out as she is playin up for me now like she always does whilst it has been rainin today the wind has been blowin towards my back door and i noticed bubbles put my hand there and its been leaking through gone through 3 towels this afternoon soakin it up hope it doesnt rain again tommorow.

Busy busy busy

Have joined in on the imediate challenge thread on uks and have done 3 los earlier 1st is using scraps of paper 2nd is usin pink green and 2 flowers and 3rd is usin 2 patterned papers and 3 photos have wrote a list out so will do some more tommorow i sort of lost my mojo so hoping i will get stuck in again doin these challenges

Nathans birthday

Nathan was 12 and he has had a great day i was really struggling to come with something to use for this weeks challenge on uks so who would have thought my sons birthday would save the day he wanted a new mobile phone and thats all he said he wanted for his bday so he came into my room in the morning and opened his cards and presents i gave him but there was no phone so he went to his room after a minute i called him back and said i forgot one and as he opened it the smile on his face said it all he was so happy bless him

So here is my take on the challenge theres a mobile phone template in the bottom corner and there is hidden journalling inside.

Decorating

Think i had a bad idea with this decorating lark lol stripped the bathroom yesterday and have started painting it today am not so keen on the colour it looks too dark i wanted something clean and fresh looking and knew i shud have gone for the other colour i saw oh well to be honest i cant really be bothered with it but it needs finishing would rather sit and craft just havin a cuppa before i get back to it have done one and half walls i am a slow decorater so shud finish it before bed lol

Kids

I am so glad caitlin is back at school tommorow she has been really naughty today been arguing with her cousins then later in the day she threw a stone and hit my auntie in the face at the side of her eye so i threw her to bed. Cant beleive she did that she is just gettin out of control lately and am runnin out of ideas of what to do with her may have to get in touch with the school nurse again and she if she can advise anything. Wanted to do a bit of crafting today but its too late now as i am havin an early night busy day ahead tommorow.

Enjoying the nice weather

Another lovely day here been a nice weekend my sister did a BBQ earlier so that ment i didnt have to cook which was fab altho its been too warm to cook a dinner which is what we usually have on a sunday. Am hoping to do a lo or 2 later once the kids are in bed. Got a busy week planned went to b and q this morning got some lining paper and paint for my sons bedroom and also some paint for the bathroom so thats my plans for this week decorating am also startin my diet tommorow so at least it will be a bit of excercise too lol am feeling really bad about myself at the moment as i have put loads of weight on and am just not happy within myself so have decided to do something about it my problem is i dont stick at things so am gonna give a good go this time if things get too much am gonna try and think of a way to distract me from snacking and do something positive so shall see how i get on.
