braving the weather

went out today and the weather was fine, our street and pavements however were not and i nearly fell on my arse getting into the car LOL got over to wallsend about 9:30 and while dad went to the bank i went and got the turkey, except dad had ordered it to be picked up tomorrow or so they said (dad is adamant he said the 23rd) luckily thought they had a one i could take away, went to greggs and got some bread buns and some pasties for our lunch then went and got the satsumas that asda no longer have LOL

had a huge delivery off stuff i had ordered today, i was very surprised at how quick they all came considering i had only ordered them at the beginning of the week, no secret santa present yet though :(

so we are now just waiting for the asda shop to be delivered and i need to hoover and that's us all ready for xmas

finally succumbed....

....to having the central heating on LOL twice in one year OMG!!!! the reason being when i got out of bed this morning the first thing i noticed was my breath, yes i could see my breath when i breathed out OMG it was that cold in my bedroom, so came downstairs put the heating on and closed the windows, now the house is toasty warm which probably means i won't be able to sleep tonight for being too warm LOL

the first day

of my xmas holidays and while i am not venturing out in that horrid cold wet stuff i do have plans, rather than sitting on my bum in front of the telly and playing on here i intend to sit on my bum in front of my craft desk and get some scrapping done, i want to get the little mini book i started at the holystone crop finished and it's almost there, then i want to get my scraplift ready for the email cj starting next month, then i must get on with the september holiday album LOL

sod's law

i got up at 8:30 this morning to ring h and cancel going over to the durham crop as the street was like a skating rink, decided to go back to bed for an hour and woke up at nearly quarter to one LOL i guess i was more tired then i thought LOL and when i did get up the roads are cear and the sun was shining in a beautiful blue sky LOL we probably could have made the crop but i just know that if we had gone the snow would be deep and crisp and even as i type LOL

hurrah it's xmas

well the start of the holidays for me, finished today for the next 10 days and then when i go back it's only half shifts :) it's meant to be the crop over at dianne's tomorrow but the weather forecast is pretty dreadful so think i'll be staying indoors in the warm and finishing off my book, getting my scraplift lo done and staring the reorganization of my craft room that i have planned LOL

my new totes arrived today, mimi no longer do the lilac and chocolate so i have had to settle for the crimson and tan and dad has bought me the matching scrap tote for my birthday, also bought some hanging rails and accessories to go on the wall for when i do get the room reorganized LOL

looking forward to a yummy chicken kebab for supper and a nice glass or two of wine :)

ok i was dreading it..............

it had seemed like such a good idea when we were talking about it last week and organizing it but when it came down to it i was so dreading it LOL what am i on about you ask???? taking 11 4 year olds on the bus up to newcastle to see fenwicks window.

as it turns out it was such a lovely afternoon, the kiddies were as good as gold and so excited about going on the bus, they sang xmas songs to all the people on the bus, then when we got off were completely excited by everything, from flagpoles to the scabbiest xmas tree in random shops as we went passed LOL they all loved the window, which is the nativity this year, then we took them into eldon square to see the polar bears, after that we headed for the bus back to nursery, we had to keep quite a few of them awake on the way back LOL

there was a load of police officers about at least 5 or 6 on northumberland street alone and we heard so many sirens it was unbelievable, wonder if something was up, was very surprised at how quiet it was, i thought it would have been packed but it wasn't that bad really,

today i have acheived...

nothing :(:(:( i was so full of plans when i got up this morning but i am still so cold and still coughing so much that apart from the asda shop i have done nothing, think i'll be seeing if i can get myself a doctors appointment next week
