DS 1 first day at work

Of course we had to have a row. What is that boy like. He has no bank account or details. I distinctly remember telling him to open one. I think sometimes having a teenager takes all the fun out of parenting and I mean all of it. Well I am not going to let him spoil my day. I hope things go well for him, but boy has he upset me this morning.

Started my deco page for the swap and the theme was vintage and so I have gone for carnival/circus type theme. It is difficult finding images so the search is on. Stay tuned for images coming this way. Hopefully I will be in a better mood too.

for the love of inchies

Well in fairness the first time I made these I can honestly say they were very primitive. My style has developed and I now love them. They are totally addictive. I have just completed 30 for a swap on UKS and now I want to make some for myself. Will post more details on how I get on with this challenge as I progress.

My eldest is now employed

Yesterday my 16 year old was offered a job and he accepted. He had and interview with a telecommunications company last week. His interview was successful and he is now game fully employed. This is not a career move, but a stepping stone between now and college. I am so proud of him.

An update

I haven't blogged for a couple of days because I have been really busy with other things. Yesterday I went to the library with Marcus in the morning and we spent a couple of hours there. We had a great time. I did spend sometime on the computer when I got back but didn't have anything to blog about in the main so I didn't.

Friday was a great day. I went shopping. Now who does not love shopping. Not food shopping as I hate the mundane ritual of it but BED shopping. We are getting a new bed it will arrive on Friday. I have been after a new bed for ages. My man is 6 foot 2" and quite heavy. I am decidedly shorter, but heavy all the same. We have been sleeping on a shocking matress squeezed into a double bed with miserly dimensions 4 feet by 6. Anyway this will go on no longer as we have purchased a king sized bed. 5 feet by 6 feet 6 ". OH will have room to stretch his legs now. Whoopee. Now if that was not exciting enough the matress is sprung with a layer of memory foam. I am delighted. It really does mould to your body and you just feel so comfortable.

Now when a girl gets a new bed that is bigger than her old one she needs new bedding so off I went to TKMaxx to get the highest thread-count for my sheets that I could afford. I also bought a brand new quilt.

Did I mention that the frame is a sleigh bed. Oh I am so happy.

One bit of bad news; the baby fairies did not visit this month. Will have to try again next month.

Thursday brought more good news. We were offered a new house. I have declined but I am on the look out for empty properties near by. I have spotted one. We will see how this develops.


Of late I have become a bit of a social butterfly. I am off out this afternoon to one of my friend's houses. She is hosting a welcome home party for her 19 year old daughter who has just returned from gap year travel. I cannot wait to see her.

Happy Sunday everyone.

I did forget something. I was visited on Thursday evening by an evil creature. The mosquito. Now I have three bulging lumps on my forhead. YUK. No pictures of me this afternoon.

How well will you do
