Keirs 21st LO - might call it multi-pic !

I shall use this picture too for my 365 for the day.

Vivs funeral today

had planned a whole morning to scrap - take my mind off the funeral. Got up today to a kitchen AGAIN like a bomb has gone off, there is loads of washing to do, dog to be walked, it's mighty cold out there too. I need some food in the house. I don't know, a couple of days out the house and everything has gone to pot. My coffee table is full of unopened post and bills and paperwork to sort through AND so I won't be able to do any scrapping AGAIN. What will it all be like when I'm working 4 days out the house? I need some help round here.

A couple of pics from Keirs Birthday -

Keir never smiles when the camera is around, but he did do a lot of smiling tonight at his birthday meal - Korin you are looking skinny again - don't think you need to lose any more weight babe! GILL you need to lose weight (this is yet another 'note to self' - tee hee. What an old couple we look now Key........................I think I shall 'grow old disgracefully'.

Happy Birthday Keir (again)

Happy 21st Birthday Son

For tomorrow, but I might not get the chance to blog tomorrow. I have just been sitting here thinking about the friends you had in school and that they too will be celebrating their 21st's this year, no doubt they will be having large parties and family and friends gathering - and that won't be for you. I wish it could be. I hope you have a lovely day tho. I'll try and make it special for you. We wish you all the luck in the world for your 21st year and hope by your 22nd birthday GREAT and GOOD changes have happened in your life. Happy 21st Birthday Keir.

and I'm still waiting ..................

And I'm still waiting - sing along with me. Haven't had my letter from the NHS PCT regarding the offer of my job. Gets a bit worrying, but did speak with the 'other' lady whom I shall be working with, she sounded nice, hope it all goes well. It'll be a few weeks yet though as have to wait for them to take up references and the criminal records check - all will be fine, I am sure of that!

Keirs 21st Birthday card - done it today!

OK who pinched this week

how quickly has it all gone then.

We are all exhausted. Keir had a bad time with rose and carole !! - oopppss she's 'e' less - prat.

Korin hates Morrisons - but has to do it because Matalan don't ring her back, told her to fill in the application for Dunelm Mill but she hasn't - so she's stuck with Morrisons.

With all the interviews and training and over to the shop and housework and the viewing - I am at my wits end this week - really tired...................can't grumble Key's putting in lots of hours at work (thank goodness) he has a job. AND also working over at the shop at weekends. I worry that it will all be too much.

No scrapping except for 365's. AND it's yet another 'Scrap Your Day' tomorrow being 25th AGAIN already.

So where has this week gone, where has this month gone, where has this year gone, and viv's gone too.

we have a viewing tomorrow.

well, infact it's today now as it's late or shoud that be early!

2 pm on Thursday, have loads of housework to do, but don;'t mind IF it's a serious buyer, and apparently (but we shall see huh) she or they?? - are cash purchasers? AND are keen to look at our house. It'd be nice to sell to the first person to see the house, but I'm not holding my breath. FINGERS CROSSED THOUGH, it would be marvellous to sell now, we both have new jobs and money coming in (after such a very very long time without) and sell the house, is that too much to dream for? Gordon Bloody Brown has finally declared a recession ! I think we could all have told him that !

ooo eeerrrrr I got the job at the hospital too !

Didn't like the training at the snowdome and turns out that the receptionist job, we all thought it was, was in actual fact mostly telephone booking clerks !! When I got out I had a phone call from my interview on MOnday and I got the job at the NHS at the hospital and I am over the moon. So declined the job at Snowdome, didn't want to mess them about giving me all that training and then me packing it in in about 3 weeks time - could have done with the money but hey ho (AS VIV WOULD SAY) miss her and her emails and texts - had to go over to Lesley's tonight for a treatment and passed vivs house - so very sad.

I got the job - at the snowdome !

On reception. In some ways I'm pretty chuffed - but I would really PREFER the NHS job (I think) - although it will be more difficult to get to......................but it is more hours (do I want more hours?) I'm exhausted now - things will have to change around here IF I'm working out the house 2 - 3 days a week anyway.

Either way I shall give it a go and see how I get on, will certainly help a lot over Christmas time.

I think I might have my mojo back - hope so anyways !

only a Mojo Holder LO - having said that, it's been such a long time that I've felt like scrapping proper stuff = IYKWIM.

Anyway, pretty pleased with this one.

VIV

MY FRIEND.......................I've known you for 10 years plus. You came to me monthly for all that time for your treatments and recommended me and came to my teaching and supported me and became a true friend. We came to your wedding and the last 12 months in particular we've corresponded daily via emails, texts and phone calls. Today you died. I can't describe how sad I am. I haven't stopped crying all day. It was all so sudden (after 7 years of all your illnesses and the last 12 months, bone cancer). Monday you said 'I'll see you tomorrow gill, don't worry if you have to cancel if you have too much to do'. Tuesday morning you text 'I am in hospital, apparently the pain in my legs is a DVT - got to have an operation, phone will be off, speak to you in a few days'. Less than 24 hours you were dead.

God Bless you Viv, you were a wonderful lady.

our weekly challenge

Missing Key - and feeling fat fat fat

weighed myself today - having regained 8lb's of the stone I lost not good news. Key is in London for 2 days, but he's OK and job is OK - so things are OK. He's in London again Thursday night til Friday night - not good, but it has to be done.

Don't like tomorrow (7th October) it'll be 23 years ago that my mom died and I still miss her everyday. Love you mom. I have no photographs of her to scrap, which is so sad. You were such a wonderful lady.

Right, before I start blarting, going to do some scrapping.

where does a week go to !

only a 365 entry but there was a thread on UKs about handmade embellies. I did these flowers from a coke cola bottle. I have also been using various stuff which has been recyled basically rather than keep buying all the time - which I can't afford to do anyway.

So, back to where a week goes to. Key has already done his first week in his new job. It is OK. He is very tired. BUT it's OK. Unfortunately he's in London tomorrow (monday) and Tuesday - he hates going away, but I don't think it will be that often, and if it is - NEEDS MUST springs to mind. We need the income.
