oh my

received my grab bag of stash from sarah's cards today, there was a special offer of a box of stash worth £75 for £25 so i treat myself when we came back from the jollies, well it arrived today and the first words out of my mouth when i opened it were bloody hell LOL the stuff in it is completely fabulous, there are 15 pieces of cardstock, 13 pieces of patterned paper, a huge basic grey alphabet, a complete 6x6 pad of sassafrass pp's, a mini book, die cuts, thickers, ribbon, brads, stickers, rub ons, flowers etc etc etc LOL it's brilliant as there is nothing in it i won't use and some of the pp's will be completely perfect for my latest holiday photos

healthy eating day two has gone well and i'm about to prepare roasted vegetables for my tea :)

a distant memory

that's what the holiday felt like after i had been at work about ten minutes today LOL

have decided to get back on the healthy eating plan, i am seriously considering the lighter life programme but i really don't know if i can justify the amount of money it costs a week, you seem to get amazing results with it though, maybe i can do the very low calorie diet myself and drink tons of water, would be nivce to get back into my jeans LOL

got my sarah's cards kit from the post office this morning, it's rather lush and i love it, think i might have a scrappy easter and do lots of scrapping, supposed to be going to the frozen north crop on saturday but i have the feeling i might not be welcome there any more

just a few of the 248

lousy weather, fabulous holiday

yup it was pretty lousy weather, a bit dreich i am led to believe LOL but we still had the most fabulous time, the lodge was outstanding, the pictures on the website do it no justice as it is a really nice size and the equipment and furnishings were all top standard, the hot tub was glorius and i loved sitting in it with a nice glass of rose every night just gazing up at the moon and the stars, we did loads of things we have never done before, including a land rover safari up into the hills around aberfeldy which included off roading LOL we panned for gold and i found some, saw lots and lots of highland cows, so my coo lo's will be resuming soon LOL we ate well, drank well and more or less slept well LOL a truly fabulous holiday

now i need to wash the car as it's filthy and i'd forgotten how much birds like to poopoo on a green car :(

busy busy busy

is the buzz word for today, 16 in the morning and 15 in the afternoon, at least we managed some cover LOL two more days at work then it's our holidays, have nothing done for it, nothing planned, and i really should be upstairs now sorting it out but i'm not LOL

the biggest grin ever

i have what is quite possibly the biggest grin in the world on my face right now, as well as quite a few other ladies over on uks LOL we got advance emails the other day from s and l to let us know there would be another retreat next year but they were letting us know before they advertised it on the boards so all this years attendees could get first bite of the cherry, the retreat went live at 8pm tonight so i was in there at 8:01 LOL managed to get my place booked and l has hers booked too so we will be roomies again :D i was in such a fluster i managed to put my card number in wrong the first time but second time around it went in properly LOL

now just 350+ sleeps to go LOL

and in less than an hour the entire retreat sold out LOL i think s and l must be feeling pretty proud of themselves right now and they rightly deserve too, it was the best weekend ever LOL

cj entry and this months challenge

left the email cj until the last minute as usual, i was having real problems with it as usually when i do a scraplift i practically copy it but i decided at the last minute just to do a flavour of it and i am really pleased with the way it has turned out, and i used one of my november holiday photo's so at least i will actually use it LOL

did this months challenge on uks too, it had to be a scraplift so i lifted one of l's lovely lo's and used some of the photo's from recent retreats as there had to be a theme of friendship, did this one in digi which means nobody but me will vote for it LOL but at least i get the points for my team LOL
