don't know what it is


but I definitely don't have the mojo mojoing like it was ! Feel really wacked. THANK GOODNESS I am not at work on Monday morning.
I think my diet (or lack of it) has something to do with it - I REALLY must get back to it properly and lose a bit before going back to work on Monday next as then I shall feel comfortable sitting behind that tiny desk - not much room there as it is and if I go back gaining even more weight - well I shall look a bit silly won't I !
Going to bed.
Goodnight if anyone reading this.

Bank Holiday Monday - nowhere to go and no one to go with


how sad am I then. DH at work, DD at work, DS wanted to lie in. I did go shopping - hate shopping and FINALLY managed to get the housework done - just incase someone wanted to view house - but as it's now 4 pm I would doubt that very much. Never mind eh.
Going multi board this week - need to sell in the next 3 months.
Did this Lo earlier rather than housework, the embellies (hearts and title) were made from a tissue box I was throwing away - it was so pretty I didn't want to chuck it, obviously tho it's not acid free - I keep telling myself that it doesn't matter but as I keep mentioning it - then I must feel it does. if that makes any sense whatsoever.

heres one I made today - I think it says it all really


OK I am learning to say no more often. I know that the kids don't like it when I say no more than I ever have. BUT I am 52 years old and they shouldn't expect so much of me - should they?
Good news is that Keir is out on his bike so often now - still frightens me to death when he's out, but generally I think he's driving safely. I HOPE.
It's 4.10 on Sunday afternoon. Bank Holiday weekend. Key working tomorrow - I gotta go shopping - hope Tesco is open, I think it will be, if not we can manage with what we have and I'll go shopping on Tuesday. I think I have a few treatments on tuesday to do. BUT the great news is no Buck Foods until 8th September - yet my pay will be going into my account. Tee hee. albeit 'NOT a lot of money' - gotta get back on the looking for job's - which is a bit daunting again.
Still fingers crossed for Tuesday - hope he gets it.

saturday again already


Heres DD dressed as supergirl - she and Keir used to sit for hours watching Supergirl - and Superman films. They both loved them............wish it was the same now - that you were NICE to one another!
Been shopping. Walked dog with Keir along the canal - long long walk. Wacked now. Was going to start the housework but think I need to have a nap on sofa first!

Friday 22nd August, 2008 - where have these months gone to



I thought this was a pic I was going to scrap next, but I seem to have lost it - tee hee - I'm still not great on this computer lark.

REALLY wish I was more clever on here, the things that other people do, fading and special effect, colouring etc. I'd love to be able to give it a go. Maybe one day I will have the time (what is that!) to do something a bit more creative.

FINGERS FINGERS FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED for next tuesday.

Happy 31st Wedding Anniversary to US.

Dreadful day - mortgage has gone drastically - can't remortgage cos we have no proof of income - scratch that, we have NO income. not getting negative. Nothing we can do - but was very down in the dumps today.

DID make a lovely wedding album for Jo's DD who got married at the beginning of August. This will probably be her first photos' - hope so anyway.

AND It was our 31st wedding anniversary, but we were both so down - we had a chinese on Monday - our first take away for a while so couldn't afford to go out for a meal tonight as well. Pity the kids didn't think 'we'll send mom and dad out for their wedding anniversary' - spose too much to ask eh.

Actually WORK WAS GOOD TODAY

never thought I would say that about going into work (for someone else) that is!

BUT IT WAS OK, yes, I would rather have stayed in bed, or been relaxing etc, but it was OK.

AND it's bank holiday next week - don't work bank holiday - and the following week I have booked a day's holiday to take dd to college for the first time.

So I don't go back to work til 8th September.

AND yet another week without a viewing

we are going to go 'multi' board next week - see if we can get this house moving.

WENT to see batman film yesterday, my DS treated me to it - although I ended up buying the chocolate AND helped him eat it - MUST get back on SW and NOW!

Well a whole week has gone by AGAIN - wish we could slow down a bit



Not a very involved LO but a LO nonetheless as I've basically been just doing the 365's - the prompt for same is VERY VERY late today I think it was meant to be so that I would ACTUALLY do some scrapping for a change.

Nothing changes round here - hope to have more to be excited about in another weeks time - but doubt it - don't mean to be negative but just everything seems to have hit us slap bang in the face so quickly.

Try to keep smiling.

HE PASSED


& I just hope he is safe now - took him to the petrol station to get his first lot of petrol - well he rode behind me - we got it everywhere - laugh really - but we did OK.........................he's doing fine, just hope he's careful.

Bit red faced.

I applied for a clerical support officers job at NHS in Cannock - got an interview. Was debating whether to go as it was full time - could I cope with full time work?

Anyway they just rang to see if I was going for interview! - for the Clinical Support officers job - which meant doing bedpans and suchlike - I said no.

BUT I suppose I should pat myself on the back - that's 6 interviews in 5 weeks - not bad for an old un.

Keir on his CBT hope he has passed.

Sunday afternoon at 5 pm











NOT ONE SINGLE SAUSAGE came to view - it's frustrating for us and must be very frustrating and worrying for the Estate Agents. We will have to go 'multi' board now and may offer to pay stamp duty to try and get the house sold. We'll see.

Had a lovely afternoon in Sandwell Valley Nature Park - used to go with the kids quite often, it was spectacular - but a very long walk, just hope I can move my legs to go to work tomorrow!

Saturday night

NO VIEWINGS !

ah well, at least house is clean :lol:

Another Saturday Morning.
















THIS HOUSE IS CLEAN, I cleaned from 9 am (ish) to 1.30 pm (ish) from top to bottom and it looks wonderful - how long for? THAT bit I hate when you see the mess starting to build up again. Just hope we get a couple of viewings this weekend - WELL one would be good - provided it's someone who is genuine and really after the property.



Friday, 8 August 2008

I am so tired tonight.

been trying to get my 365 up to date.

Finding it rather a chore now - have 7 12x12 albums and thinking WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO WITH THEM ALL - especially as there will be a further 5 by the end of December.

Ah well. Plod on.

Missing Korin.

Estate Agents have advertised our house as 'Property of the Week' - probably because I moaned at them! Hoping we get some viewings then this weekend - unfortunately tho I have to clean the house - not looking forward to that tomorrow.

Thursday, 7 August 2008

And the last one please ! (for tonight anyway)



this was a scraplift from fellow teamie on uks Pennyk. Lovely LO, really loved doing it.

I'm missing you Korin tonight - you are in Scotland (Edinburgh) with your friend and her family - hope you are having a good time.

Sunday 3rd August, 2008.



I've just cleared out my blog.

It was far too negative. OK things aren't too good at home at the mo - but I gotta start to think more positively.

SO I AM.

STILL LOVE CRAFTING/SCRAPPING - will concentrate more on filling these pages with LO's. I hope.

I now work on Mondays - can't say I love it, but it's OK.............................Key's cooking so I shall scrap later - gotta go fetch Korin too.

Keirs had his bike - as above - hope he gets through CBT on Tuesday next, it will certainly help me not having to take him everywhere.

PLEASE GOD KEEP HIM SAFE.
