here are some of the photos i took on the fab weekend that was the sarahs cards retreat, just a few mind cos i did take quite a few and i have 18 lo's to photograph and show off too LOL

Number one- the sweetie shoppe before the hoards of hungry scrappers descended on it and ate all the red liqorice even though i told them all it was mine LOL Number two- the state of our table, theresa, lorraine, kerry and i had such a mess and it was scary how neat some people had their tables LOL
Number three- the cropping room, this was either a mealtime or early in the morning as it's rather empty LOL Number four- the lovely orchids on the tables Number five six and seven-some of the lovely ladies i met, theresa and i at the evening meal we had just been laughing our socks off at the "brown" we had been served for supper LOL a last minute addition thanks to lesley, a photo of the very said "brown" LOL, amanda in the middle and caroline and lesley, lesley had me in stitches every evening meal LOLNumber eight-showing off my quick pod camera pole to jane in the queue for lunch on sunday LOL and last but not least number nine- the name badges ready for judging, mine is the green birdcage with the medallion hanging off it, the winning badge was just a little to the left of the picture so i mangaged to miss the thing LOL all in all a fantastic weekend and i can't wait for the next one :D

naughty girl LOL

but i had such a great time at the weekend that as soon as i got in from work tonight i went online and booked a place at the retreat in november :) can't wait LOL

oh my god LOL

am back from the most fantastic weekend at the sarah's cards retreat at warrington, i had the most fantastic time, had a lovely room all to myself, the food was in the main very delicous(the less said about saturday nights lamb the better LOL), the classes were amazing, the goody back good, the shop amazing and i did 18 lo's in a weekend, i am now officially knackered and need a jolly good nights sleep :D was worth it all though and i so hope to be back next year :D

why am i on here

when i should be sorting stuff out for the retreat at the weekend ????? i can't wait, work is a bit manic at the moment due to lots of staff being off but we get on with it, it can only get better i suppose and any way only 3 more sleeps and i'll be away, i've arranged a baby sitting service for dad LOL the lovely neighbour over the road has said he'll keep an eye on him and dad can just go to him if he needs anything :) so now i must really get off here and get some stuff sorted LOL

normal service has been resumed LOL

had myself a very early night in bed last night and a really good nights sleep and i feel so much better for it today, got started on my packing for the Sarah's cards retreat and that really helped cheer me up then at work today we managed a bit of a laugh :) we were really quiet this afternoon so ended up taking the kiddies out for a walk :) let me set the scene, 5 littlies who never walk anywhere on wrist straps walking up the road to morrisons, i had 3 who were all determined to go in completely different directions to each other and we hadn't even got out of the nursery car park when they were so tangled up we had to stop and untangle them LOL we then had 1 super speedy walker and 1 who was ultra slow, 1 who sang the entire time and one who stopped every time she spotted a letter in her name LOL which was a lot LOL another one screamed all the way back to nursery when i wouldn't buy her a milky bar at the checkouts LOL and another one who kept muttering shut up shut up to the screaming one LOL needless to say we weren't out for very long LOL and the next time we are quiet i'm not suggesting a walk anywhere LOL

feeling distinctly iffy

for the first time in ages i woke up this morning feeling very anxious and ended up in tears at work oversomething ridiculous, feeling very deflated too and not my usual self :( need to get away me thinks, luckily i've got my retreat to go to in a weeks time and then holidays aren't too far a way too, can't wait

busy bee

been very busy this afternoon after recovering from a bad migraine that forced me home early from my night out last night, and before you ask it wasn't drink, i was on lemonade as i had the car with me LOL anyway i have done this weeks challenge on ukscrappers and i have done the february mini book from karens a mini a month challenge :) the theme was love so i went with my greatest love, the cow LOL used rafia to bind the book together as i have had it for ages and didn't have a clue what to do with it LOL i've also been making a new name badge for the sarahs cards retreat (12 more sleeps woo LOL) as the one i had made was far to big, love what i have made now, i just hope it dries in time LOL
