Anyway, I am now preparing for week two! I am kinda hoping things may settle down a bit after that! We'll see.......
Hope you all had a great weekend.

Shopping and roast....

Well this is the only day I'll get off in 10! So I thought I would make the most of it......so we spent the morning in Lincoln shopping (that made a hole in the few extra pennies I'll be getting), then took the dogs for a long walk this afternoon (fed the greedy ducks) and then came home and had roast beef, all the trimmings and a bottle of red wine......everything seems great now!!
Then back with a bump tomorrow - through to Thursday. Then I get 3 wonderful days OFF! Perfect!!
Have a fabulous weekend everybody, sorry not done much blog hopping...give me another week and I'll be back!!
Take care.

Clippykit mania...


It's arrived and it's finished and I looooove it!
Front side - is all family and Alfie and on the reverse
is all holiday photo's.
The little Doodlebug keyring, is also filled with photo's.
All I need now is a nice scarf/ribbon to tie on the handle.
If you click on the photo, you can get a closer look.

I got my bag from: Mojo - with free P &P
but you can also get them from
Clippykit direct
and QVC also stock them.

I have had so many comments from people's, it's unreal!

Clippykit




Oooooo look what I've just ordered, it's a 'Clippykit' bag,
6 pockets either side to 'scrap' for that
personal touch.
I've also ordered a black suede liner. I thought
I would add black and white photo's with
the odd 'splash' of colour.
Can't wait for it to arrive!

DANCING ON ICE

Dancing on Ice - FANTASTIC!!
Sorry about the quality of some of the photo's - no flash photography was allowed.
What a show - just brilliant! We were only 4 rows away from the ice. First half of the show is just like the TV show and you get to vote for your favourite. Suzanne won last night. Chris Fountain's partner Frankie was injured on Thursday, so he wasn't in the competition - but did dance with a different partner in the second half and was superb. The second half of the show is the celeb's again, but also the professionals show off their real talents - absolutely brilliant!!!!!
We stopped for tea on the way and the show started at 7.30. All was going well until it was time to leave the carpark - our friends managed to get out really quick, before we even got to the carpark, so yeah..... you guessed it we were still in the carpark nearly an hour later. They got home at 11.15 and we finally arrived home at Midnight!! Shattered at work today!!
But worth it - highly recommended show!

Pandora

Pandora.
My birthday pressie from my lovely hubby.
I have been nagging (asking nicely) for a Pandora for ages!
I am so pleased with it. I also got the extra 'angel' charm from
my lovely sissy-in-law and a very pretty flower charm from the
guys at work. Thank you everyone.

It's my Birthday!

Thanks to Dominique for my lovely card, she is now a Pink Petticoat addict:
(I love these images)

and many thanks to Debs (at work) this is her first attempt
at card making and I think it's a great job and it's PINK!
I had some lovely pressies (which I opened last night) My lovely hubby has bought me a Pandora bracelet (which I have wanted for ages) I will post pics later.
Also thanks to Mum-in-Law and Sissy-in-law, who bought me charms to add to the bracelet. (and sissy-in-law who put a lot of thought and effort into some weird and wonderful gifts -
she's great!)
Thanks to my Mum for lots of crafting goodies and to Sam who got me the St Trinians DVD!
Thank you everyone!!

Thank you Ella Bella

Look at the lovely card I received from Tracy (Ella Bella) today.
I love it and thank you Tracy for the lovely stamped images
and embellishments that were with it!

You may have noticed I have opened it a day early...well I am having to make some slight alterations to my birthday this year! I am celebrating it a day early, as we are at Chris' Uncles funeral tomorrow and Chris is working for a few hours tomorrow morning, starting at 5 am and finishing at 9am in time for the funeral. So unless I want to open my pressies in the middle of the night (NO!) I am opening them tonight!
So I am just waiting for everyone to get home.
My friend Ros came round earlier and we spent a lovely couple of hours chillin' in the garden, having a good natter (remembered the sun block today! got a little fried on Monday)

Moving day...

Just to let you know all went well, very smooth. Apart from Mum getting herself locked in a cupboard for 1/2 an hour an no-one knew where she was!!! (don't ask!)......

Anyway, she seems very happy and relatively straight really.

Hope to get time to play with new crafty bits tom - so watch this space and I will try and post some cards this week!!

Tripod treat!


I have wanted a new tripod to go with my Canon 400 for months, but couldn't decide what to go for. In a recent issue of 'photoplus' magazine, this Manfrotto 190XB with 390RC2 head was rated highly....so I've done it. I have ordered it from Jessops, for collection tomorrow.
