Fabulous Saturday Feeling

Well what can I say. Saturday was one of THE best crops I have been to...(not that any others are bad), but this one was exceptional. We had a very special guest Shimelle come over to our crop to teach a special class - 'The Reason Why We Scrapbook' and it was fantastic. We had lots of new faces at the crop...people I hadn't seen for a while and people I have only ever 'seen' online. Lots and lots of yummy food...including the most delicious cupcakes made by Shimelle herself. I actually managed to get there early (which is unlike me nowadays) and I stayed till quite late (something I never do). And I managed to almost complete the whole project...just needed to add a couple of photo's which I hadn't printed off.

Here are just a few pictures that I took and had taken of me at the crop.



It was a fantastic day and I would gladly do it all again. I would like to thank Janice and Lorraine for making Saturday happen. Queenie for giving us lots of yummy food and of course Shimelle for your time.

Latest Pictures of The Boys

Jenny came over last night and met the boys...I used that opportunity to take some up to date pictures - enjoy !!

Motivation...

have you got any??
I had a bit of a rubbish time over the last few days which has left me completely de-motivated to do anything. I have loads I need to do...but I am really struggling to actually get off my backside and do them. Its not that I'm lazy...its just my mind is so full of stuff that is making me feel stressed out that I just can't seem to concentrate on anything long enough to actually finish what I started. I really need to try and pull it together today...I have lots of jobs around this house that really need doing. So I think its on with the music and one job at a time.
To Do list - Clean tiles of excess grout - done
Paint walls
Put all kitchen bits and pieces back in kitchen - done



These are the latest picture of the kitchen. All that needs doing is the painting and flooring.

Hoover and dust living room - half, stairs, - done landing - done and bedroom
Clean bathroom - done
Clean out Rats - done
Take up rest of floor tiles in kitchen
Break up old kitchen units in garden and put in trailer ready for dump
Clear up garden of doggy poo's (ewwwwww) - done
Weed garden
Cook Supper - done

Well that lot should keep me busy I guess. Better get cracking

Looking Goooooooood !!!

YEAAAHH the kitchen is starting to take shape and lookin' good....I am LOVING it !!! All thats left to do now is grouting, painting and flooring. It will be sooo nice to be able to invite people round without feeling embarassed. I can't wait to have people over for coffee and chats....just need to get the rest of the house and garden tidied up :)

Before (very messy hehe)
Two days ago (the blue on the doors is just a protective cover..I have taken some of them off now...left ones on where I am going to be painting walls)..will take some more updated piccies soon!!

The Dogs and Rats all went to the vets this week just for check ups and thankfully all is well. The Rats are getting big now...Katy came over the other day and we took pictures...she has fallen in love with them and wants to be their Aunty Katy...haha

I Think its Finally Going to Happen!!

It finally looks like I am going to get my new kitchen this weekend hhhoooooorrrrrrrrraaaaayyyyyy!!! I have only been waiting 6 years so pretty good going I guess. My hubby and our best man are starting working first thing Friday morning and are hoping to complete it by Monday night !! I have started tonight by sorting out and boxing up stuff that I know I won't be needing over the next week...good chance for a bloomin' good clear out I guess. I have to admit I am not looking forward to the disruption to the rest of the house but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Getting Inspired

Well I am ALMOST over this bloomin' cold....it does seem to be trying to linger on a little bit longer though!!! As you can imagine I haven't really been up to much at all ass I have felt so ill and now I just feel so tired..this cold has knock me sideways.

I have however managed to become inspired (thanks to Kate8679 from UKS) tonight and done some scrapbooking :)

I have one more to load up on computer and one to finish, which I hope to do tomorrow.

I have some exciting news..well its exciting for me. After nearly 6 years of waiting I am finally going to get my new kitchen fitted next weekend hopefully ...woo hooo!! I can't wait.

Feeling Like Death warmed Up !!

I think I may have the equivalent of man flu !!! HA HA HA. I can't remember the last time I got a cold this bad and yes I feel terrible. Today all I have managed to do is hang a bit of washing out and hoover the living room...both of which nearly killed me !! My nose won't stop running and is sooo sore for all the nose blowing. Anyway that's my whinge out the way !!

The boys are settling in really well...Stan is getting noticeably bigger...Jack is still noisy. They had their first bath yesterday...don't think they were that impressed ..HA HA HA!!

I took part in the Cyber Crop on UKS at the weekend...I was quite pleased with what I achieved...its such a manic weekend and can be quite hard to keep up with. Here are the LO's that I managed to do....I love the classes and designs but interpretations I am not too sure about...Having now seen the gallery of classes that others have done I now know that you did not HAVE to stick with colour schemes and EXACT design LO to gain points...O well will know next time!!

Anyway... I have been on the computer for no more than 10 minutes and I feel knackered...I hope I feel better tomorrow. I am back off to my sofa pit !!!
