Saturday 26th June, 2010

Yes, already. We had a wonderful week in Bridport - by Weymouth and in Johnnies caravan. It was good of him to let us have it - and a great week weather wise too - was a long way. AND on the way back I had to drive as Key was suffering from the effects of sunstroke - he looked really bad and kept falling to sleep. Thankfully I got into the motorway driving but you don't realise how 'FAST' motorway driving is - and you need you wits about you at all times. Anyway, I got meself a gold star - so to speak.

It was so lovely to have Keir and Olivia with us too - I have missed Keir over the last 9 months that he hasn't lived with us. Yes he's hard work at times, but I have missed him. It was nice to spend the whole week - no arguments, he was fine. I felt sorry for Olivia though, she doesn't really know us, she's still very young too. BUT she was fine and they seem exceptionally happy and I am happy they're happy too.

So. Got my washing done and housework done and it's exceptionally hot still and tomorrow need to do shopping and the rest of the washing and things ready for work - YAK.

OK the job is better than working with SHITFACE LIZ WOOD - but it's not as interesting job-wise. AND in this heat in 'full leather shoes' - I don't know if I shall cope.

I gained 3lb's on holiday so gotta have another good day food wise tomrorow so I am only probably 2lb's heavier on Monday morning. MIGHT go see if I can get a black skirt which is a bit looser on me for Monday morning - so hot to be trussed up!

The pick is of an ATC I made tonight - for a swap on UKS, the flowers were made from thin metal mounted onto copy paper and cuttlebugged and I finally found my 'real' gold leaf - love that stuff. WELL, I love anything shiny.

Orf I go to bed - IF I can sleep in this heat.

I don't make cards !

as a rule, as I am so 'pants' at making them. But today a customer/friend is 60 next week whilst I am away and I didn't like the selection at Asda so thought I'd make her one. WAS going to make a beautiful 'magic exploding box' many weeks ago but never got round to it with new job etc. So hope she is pleased with the result of this card. It's a lot more colourful (summery) and blingy IRL - it's an ATC and everything was made by me (except the backing of the ATC and I think Gingersnaps made it as a card enclosing a swapped ATC with me - I asked her if I could use her card for a background for an ATC and so this ATC was made). I wasn't exceptionally happy with the card, but I do hope that jo likes it.

Off on me jollies in the morning.

Tired today - saturday

another week done at work - my third.

Tired, tired, tired. I know I am only doing 4 hours overtime per week but I don't want to do overtime. I wish I hadn't agreed to it - how do you stop doing overtime. With everything else I do I am worn out.

However, I understood a lot more at work - and the job isn't as boring as I thought it would be.

Have had a bit of time crafting etc. Got a lot to do this weekend to get ready for the holiday next week. I am so looking forward to it. Hope its a good holiday. Keir and Olivia are looking forward to it too.

Been making ATC's again and doing swapping, I've enjoyed it. Not joining anymore swaps now though until after my holls. Gotta pack a bit this week and washing up to date and get korin some shopping in the house she wants a bbq on the sunday we go - hope they're not too noisy.

Have been eating really badly. So IF I am good this week I could lose 4 lb's to go away on Saturday - I know, I know I shall probably regain it being away but IF I don't lose 4lb's before I go and gain another 4lb's whilst away I will be exceptionally fat when I get back. Thats MY logic anyway.

Gotta make sister a card for her birthday as it's 20th as we go away, and two fathers day cards to make also.

PLUS wanted to make an exploding box for Jo - my customer who is 60 on 24th.

Friday night

I am so totally and utterly worn out. The heat didn't make things any better either and I left my id card at work so had to go back after finishing and going to Aldi and then after work had to sit and eat my lunch in the car park in the splintering heat ! Got home, walked dog - quick tea.

Really really tired and having to do 4 hours overtime next week AGAIN ! - had to cancel a treatment today as I just didn't think I could do it.

Busy week next week and week after with reflexology - work and overtime - getting prepared for holiday too.

Good news and I hope they do - Keir and Olivia coming on holiday with us - I really hope that we all enjoy it.

gotta get to bed.

Wednesday already

I did 2.5 hours overtime yesterday - a treatment out on night. Finished at 2 today normal time, home and took Salem to vets - got home and then went over to Keirs and Olivias after tea to get Key's tablet. I'm doing a treatment straight from work tomorrow and another one at 6 at home. I hope I am not overdoing it - I don't think I can keep on doing overtime and everything else too.

It was lovely to sit and talk with Keir (olivia wasn't very well and in bed) - and he made us a cup of tea. It was nice to be with him. I think he enjoyed us going over, even though it was only for half hour. We had to get back for Key to do work for work.

I wasn't well when I got home from the vets tonight - feel rough now, hope I can go to work tomorrow and I'm not in the bathroom all night long.
