Now I know what hell is like!

they give you a ticket and force you to wait with tired hungry children for hours before telling you that your child is so skinny that they've nothing that will stay on her feet :( argh!

repeat three times and you're ready to sell the children as long as whoever buys them isn't too bothered about well fitting shoes....

we got some in the end, but never again I tell you. If her feet grow again I'll just chop them off!

Day out!

We've been to Leciester to visit Yan, Helen, Natty and Caleb for a BBQ, David was there too and we've not seen him for ages either. We've all had a fabby day and I've got lots of photos, especially of Natty's funky dancing :D but too tired to fiddle with the camera now - now it's time for bed!

Tomorrow we're braving Milton Keynes - Lucy must have new school shoes. Argh! wish me luck!

Grass heads!

Izzy and Lucy made grass heads in wildlife club at the end of last term. They've grown really well on the kitchen windowsill, so well that Lucy's needed 'styling'......



and while I'm posting plant pictures - a tulip from Andrew and Debbie's garden from Monday.....

Lucy has new glasses!

after the unfortunate roller blade crash on Wednesday (oops!) she needed new glasses! luckily we already had an opticians appointment booked for Thursday morning! Her new glasses were made up super speedily and we've just been to collect them. They're a rather funky purple colour, but I don't think you can tell from the picture.....



and her new doggy glasses case....

I've officially had enough of the Easter holidays!

I'm exhausted, they're grumpy, house is a tip. Argh! Only a few more days.....

Layouts as promised.....

Zoe at four days old - I love this picture, it's the one we emailed to friends and family to annonuce her arrival :)



and then a more recent Zoe, all pouty in her princess costume! this was for last week's team challenge on UKS :)



the others are circle journal entries so I can't show yet, or it'll
spoil the surprise!

Easter Egg hunt!

yes I know it's late, but there you are! Today (monday) we had our egg hunt, this year at Andrew and Debbie's house. Much fun had by all, especially me as I took my new camera outside (eek!) for the first time :) One full memory card later.....

Lucy with pockets full of collected egg hunt treasure!



Izzy who doesn't have any pockets and is having to improvise!



and Zoe who finally got the hang of it this year!




I've also been scrapping , but it's far too late to be uploading any more - you'll have to wait for tomorrow!

Yippeeee!

two reasons to be excited....

firstly the latest cybercrop at UKS has been announced :) it's a Mad Hatters cybercrop and I'm in the clubs team! so very, very exicted! and there's still 3 weeks to go before it starts!

secondly - today was the first day Zoe hasn't been sick since Thursday last week! now if thar's not worth getting excited then what is?!!

today's photo - one from the her space, my space prompts - buttons!



night all :)

Found it!

the camera lead that is :) so in no particular order, two LOs and a Her Space My Space inspired photo...




photos show Lucy and Izzy in the lounge at our old house back in the summer of 2001. I love Lucy's body language as Izzy pushed her tower over :D



these are very old pics from my first proper holiday without my parents, when I went to Ireland in Summer 1991. It was for a weekly challenge on UKS, but not sure which week!



and this is my photgraph for 'Colourful' - the washing up, taken last week :)

In other news the girlies are not as sickly as they were! I think we might be over the worst of it, lets hope so anyway :)

Sorry!

have been absent again. Can't find the camera lead right now (grrr) so no piccies to update. We're all alive, most of us are well. Zoe has a tummy bug though and has been ill now since Friday. I'm very glad both of the washing machines are now plumbed into the new kitchen!

Jim took most of last week off work nad we've not got a few units in the new kitchen. No doors or worktops yet, but it's coming :) Hopefully we'll get some more done over the Easter weekend.

I've spent some time this morning updating the links over there -----> hopefully they are now all working! I've also put a new piccie on since I had my hair cut last month!

More later when I've found the blasted lead!
