Hayley11 - Sending my motivation....I have had enough of it now anyway LOL...

OH and the kids are stressing at me telling me to sit down and relax LOL

Have just sorted out My Virgin Mobile Broadband so I'm having a play on my new Laptop (that has been sat in its bag since wednesday)

Have just started a Database for all my gifts going ok so far so should be upto date on that front by the time the next rudolph day comes along. Well chuffed too just got another £160 to put in the nuetral pot this morning from a really old Policy that I had forgot all about, and another £3 voucher from pinecone....the pot is growing nicely. I'm sure it will all go to pot when I start buying the kids birthday and Xmas pressies though.

Right I'm off to put some washing away and do a few more jobs while I still have all this energy and then I am definately putting my feet up tomorrow and doing nothing - well I might play with the kids...

Catch you all later

Sarah

Rusty - glad you love the bags - it is age 4-7 so it should be big .

The pics made me grin just like DD now when she's forced to wear pink or a dress or anything other then PJs really :rotfl:.

I do love them, I have my nice fluffy blue one packed with purse, fags lighter and phone ready for work tonight .... May aswell show it off whilst I don't need to carry nappies/wet wipes/kitchen sink around with me I didn't even look at the age :eek: Maybe why she is still a little too small :rotfl:

Well I have had a fantastic afternoon ..... asleep on the sofa! ... OH has cleaned all the kitchen and DD was sleeping, DS was playing on the disney website! I feel like rubbish now though :rotfl: Oh well work in just under 2 hours ...

I can't believe you are all saying how cute DD looks ... she is mid paddy!!!! hence the screaming faces etc :P

Dearest Darling PinkLady Mel says this ....

The pictures of Maddy are classic and she looks trully like an angry diva.. and erm also.. a lot like you!! Wonder if she gets this from you and this is your come uppance :rotfl:

I think she may just have a point

Right ladies I am away for the night ... In the middle of cooking tea, then up to get ready for work

Hope you all have a good night

Scattymam your memory jar is wonderful and left me a bit choked up

Rusty - love your pics of your little girl she looks soooo cute

I hope people don't mind me not doing as much crafty stuff at the moment. Well I will post a pic of my nappy cake when I finish it tomorrow but at the moment I am having such a fab time as hubby is off work too I haven't got my crafty head on at all. Does it matter? :o:o

Just been into town with my Mum who bought my little one Harri his first bike. I'm cwtched up on the sofa watching hubby put it together - Harri is almost perched on his shoulder he is so excited bless him. The sun was shining lovely this afternoon so we thought we would have chance to go out with him but unfortunately the heavens have opened now
I might post a pic of him on his bike later if I get chance.

Oh and I need to read up on rudolph day too x

jammy had a look at your layout on your blog. it is lovely and so special. they must have been really special paper and embelishments to have kept them for so many years.
I too have been crafting this afternoon but have made 2 cards and a door hanger. I am in the middle of making a mini album for each of my boys but our printer isn't printing properly at the moment so I can't print the photos:mad:
the two cards i have made are for birthdays on Monday. I delivered the presents last week - picked from my pressie stash. not only did I have presents ready to take they were early! this has never happened before!!!

thanks rusty - OH keeps doing test prints (think he has used a whole forest already!) and has come to the conclusion that it was because we were using cheap photo paper you are still welcome to come over next week if you like would be good to meet up again. have a good evening...don't be late:rotfl:

Thanks Rusty yes my lovely mum treated him because Jake already has a bike and as the weather has been so nice thats all they want to do is ride up and down outside. Poor little thing had to make do with one of Jake's old ones that was about to go up the tip as you can't pedal it!! Nanny to the rescue so needless to say he is one happy chappy. Here is a little pic of him:


Have a good evening
