Not long now!

Nearly all sorted, finishing half day today but got quite a bit to do before I leave.  Nearly finished my assignment just got my conclusion to write which I will probably do when I get back.  I'm going to send it to my mother in law to proof it while I'm away cos I'm sick of looking at it.
So, Elise is still on the ceiling, v excited.  We've all most finished packing just got our last bits and pieces to sort out.  Me and Elise are going for our hair's cut at 3.30pm then just got our nails to do tonight.  Can't wait :o)
Revell, I loved your comment about the post mortem, I didn't get it at first then I nearly spat my coke out ha ha.  Bah.  Will definitely have a proper catch up when we get home.  Hope baba's are both well and you didn't miss Jen too much when she was away.

Chow for now.  Will try and update blog when I'm away but may be too busy ;o) x x

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Argh, got loads to do, which I suppose is a good thing in a way as it will hopefully make the next few days go over more quickly.  Had a good weekend.  Friday night Elise went off to her dad's and me and Dave went to Blyth to see Joanna and Lewis, we just stayed in at theirs but had a good laugh.  Saturday we came home and I did some house work then got my books out and tried to do some studying but kept getting side tracked.  Oops.  Anyhoo, Saturday night we went back to Blyth and me and Dave went for one drink in Blyth then went to Claire and Chris' for the night.  We got a take away and played buzz which was good fun. 

Sunday morning me and Dave got up quite early and went off to do some shopping.  I got all of our toiletries for our hols, and all the bits and pieces that were left to get.  We then went to mam's for dinner then home to chill for the rest of the afternoon.  Elise came home about 5pm and was absolutely hyper.  She is so excited.  We started to pack her stuff last ngiht as I was sick of her going on about it so she is all sorted.  Watched 24 last night which was fab and a bit of a shocking end :o(

Today I've got loads to do, I need to make sure I'm completely up to date work wise and also crack on with finishing my assignment. I'm in all day today and tomorrow then taking a half day on Wednesday as me and Elise are going to the hairdressers. 

We need to be at the airport for 8.30am on Thursday morning so quite a nice time really not too early.  Elise couldn't get to sleep last night as she was so excited so god help us on Wednesday night.  

Friday :o)

Friday again.  Feeling really positive as have had a good go at my assignment and feel like I have a skeleton now so just need to fill it out.  Had a trip to the library and got a few good books so just need to keep up the momentun.  Went to Cerrie and Mickey's last night, little Cerys was hillarious, I love how dramatic she is she is going to be such a Drama Queen when she gets older.  Love it!!

Not got much planned for the weekned, just going to start packing and sorting our stuff out.  I think DAve is planning on doing a race on Sunday morning but apart from that not a lot on.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend.

One day closer!

It's bright sunshine here today, it's really lovely looking out my windown but I've just nipped outside and it is really windy.  Not much to report really, did a bit of sorting last night, trying to get all my toiletries, make up, etc sorted.  Watched Flash Forward and also started watching V which I had never heard of but Dave used to watch the original series and said it was good.  It wasn't bad actually.

Mam, Cerrie and Cerys have just been in to see me for their dinner so it was nice to see them, mam's still got lots of lumps on her head bless her but is still taking the tablets. 

Got a meeting with my Commercial Development Manager at 2pm which is probably going to be quite intense as we are down for Trading compared to last year so no doubt I'm going to get an earful even though it is completely out of our control but hey ho. 

Dave's suggested going on a bike ride tonight but I'll see how I feel when I get in, not very motivated on the exercise front to be honest, might just crack on with my assignment we will see.
Can't believe only one more weekend to go until our hols :o)  x x

Fingers Crossed!

Feeling much better today had a really early night and a great sleep so fresh as a breeze today.  I have to say I'm a tad worried about the chaotic flight situation at the moment, my poor cousin Leanne and her hubby were supposed to fly to Australia last week and they have had their flight cancelled, Claire who works for me, her mam and dad were supposed to be flying today and their flights are also cancelled.  Not good at all.  So I'm keeping everything crossed that the disruption is sorted soon. 

Me and Elise watched the Big Bang Theory last night which explained what was happening and why it was so dangerous for the planes to fly, quite interesting and pretty obvious why they are being so cautious.  I know it is your holiday and I will be pretty peeved if it is cancelled or postponed but at the end of the day I certainly wouldn't risk my life to get there.  I think the people who have to make the decisions have a pretty tough call to make and basically they are damned if they do and damned if the don't. 

Anyway apart from that as I said I was in bed early last nigh, we went straight from work to pick Leesco up from mam's, poor mam, she has been to the docs yesterday and they think she has got shingles, she has got lumps on her head which are really painful.  They have given her some medication which she has to take five times a days so get well soon mam x x After picking Elise up we went straight home and me and Elise got straight in the bath and washed our hair.  Dave made our tea, (spaghetti bolognese) then we just chilled. 

As you have probably guessed still not back to soul source but trying just to be good from now until holiday.  Just found it so difficult, don't know why I couldn't get back into it but hey ho.

Chow for now x x

Tired!!

I am so tired today I feel like I could just close my eyes and nod off.  Had a good weekend, Friday night I went over to Nicola's house and had a few drinks with her, Linda and Joanna.  Dave went out round Blyth with the boys.  Saturday I got up and went to get Elise from my mam's, went home and got ready then we went off to Matalan.  Got almost everything we needed and lots of things that we didn't really need but had a good time and got some lovely things for us.  On the way home I dropped Elise off at her dad's as she had to go and ride Bobby as she was at a show on Sunday. 

Saturday night me, Dave, Claire, Chris and Lewis went out for few drinks to the Block and Tackle, it ended  up being a great night, very funny as we all had a blast on the karaoke OH DEAR!!! 

Sunday we went to mam's for dinner then had to go to Asda shopping as we hadn't done any all weekend, after that we just went home and chilled for the rest of the afternoon and Elise came home about 5ish.

Today has seemed to go on forever and it is still only 3 o clock :o(  I think the nearer it gets to my hols the more time drags.  10 days today woo hoo.

Chow x

Bad Knee :o(

I'm sick as a chip.  Had a lovely night last night, me and Elise went shopping and got her loads of holiday clothes which are all gorgeous, we then went over to see Cerrie and Mickey.  I was sitting on the settee and just turned slightly and my knee has popped out.  I'm gutted, so now I'm hobbling around like a freak.  It's an old injury from years ago when I got knocked over, there is still a weakness and it pops out from time to time, very painful but more inconvenient than anything as I can't put any weight on it and have to hop along like a freak.  So sitting with a bag of ice on it at the moment getting ice burn.  Got an appointment at the docs at 4.30pm so he might strap it up which should give it a bit  of support.

Anyway winge over, it's a gorgeous day today, such a pity I'm at work.  Just spoke to Dave and he has been helping our neighbour take down his shed and Elise is chilling on the settee watching telly.  She's shattered as her and Liam were up late last night playing and watching tv so she is just having a lazy day today.  Marma is having her, Liam and Cerys tonight so we are child free tonight, don't know what we are goingt to do yet though.  Tomorrow me, Cerrie and mam are going to Matalan to get some more clothes for my jollies then Claire and Chris are coming over tomorrow night.

I'm sitting on reception covering the phones as one of the girls in on her lunch and the other is on annual leave, I'm watching the most lovely little lady sitting having her lunch she is so sweet but it makes me so sad as you can tell she is just so lonely and just wants someone to talk to.  I sometimes think that I would rather die at an age where I was still surrounded by my family and friends rather than live to a very old age and be lonely.  Anyhoo enough of that I'm off now to let her talk my ears off :o) x x

2 Weeks today :o) woop de woop do woo x

Can't flipping wait, time is just flying by.  Not a lot to report still being rubbish on my diet, I just don't know what the hell is wrong with me but hey ho just going to try and limit the carbs from now on in. 
It was a lovely night last night so got in and put the music on and had a whip round the house while Dave went for a run.  Our Liam stayed last night so him and Elise were outside playing kerbsy (don't know if that is the correct spelling).  I got in the shower washed and dried my hair then started tea, it was so lovely the sun still shining.  Dave came back and we had a lovely tomato, chicken past and a bottle of red wine (v naughty I know :o( ) 
Watched American idol which I wasn't too impressed with, I do like the big black dude and the little quirky girl but don't know their names.
Any hoo that's about it for now.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my gorgeous niece x x

It's Cery's 2nd birthday today so she is having a party at Bounce in Blyth.  I'll still be at work so unfortunately I don't get to go but Dave is taking Elise and I will just go over to their house after work to see her and give her, her presents :o) 

Yip two years ago today was the most bizzare thing ever I watched my beautiful niece being born which was the worst and most amazing thing I have ever seen and I also stopped smoking.  So congratulations to both me and Cezzabell, however I think hers was harder ha ha. 

So, rain, rain and rain today after the glorious sunshine we had yesterday but I suppose what can you expect it is Britain and we are only in April. 

Made a start on my assignment last night, I've collated all of my questionnaires and I've finished my proposal so at least I've made a start so I feel a bit better. I've emailed my tutor my work so far so fingers crossed her feedback will be positive and I can just carry on as I am and not have to go back to the beginning.  

Didn't do much last night, me and Elise had a bit of a pamper night and had face masks and did our nails  which was nice as Dave was out running.  Made tea then just watched telly for a bit then me and Elise went up to bed to read.  She's finished her new Wimpey Kid already, and has thoroughly enjoyed it, the film is out in August so she can't wait for that. 
We were going through our holiday clothes last night, I have made a bit of a start with Elise but she still needs quite a bit more, it's just she has grown so much that none of her summer clothes fit her at all.  Roll on Saturday when we can hit the shops :o)
Ok, well I suppose I need to admit my diet has been crap.  Don't know why when I'm so bloody close to my hols but just really struggling to get back into it. Need to give my self a kick up the a*** and sort it oot.
Well that's about it for the noo, only 16 days, get in there x x

Too much to do, too little time :o{

Ok, so had a successfull weekend if not a bit random.  Friday night as planned we went to Jill and Marc's which was good to catch up with them.  Saturday morning we went home and Dave did  the grass and garden and I went through the house sorting stuff out for the car boot. 

So Saturday was very productive.  We were both at a bit of a loose end on Saturday night, Dave wasn't fussed about going out and we knew we would spend a fortune anyway if we both went out so I just ended going out with the girls for Lisa's birthday to Whitley Bay, it was a very last minute decision but ended up having a great night.  More exciting though I actually wore heels for the first time since Boxing day due to my ankle injury from falling down one step.  Bah.  So, got to wear my fabulous birhtday shoes love, love, love them :o)  

Had a great night and just went back and stayed at our Claire's. 

Sunday morning got home for about 10.30am then quickly got showered and changed and off we went to the car boot.  I had borrowed the six seater from work so Dave had packed it all the day before so it was hillarious as there isn't a seat in the front so I was squashed in the back like a lunatic.  We arrived at about 11.15 but they wouldn't let us in until 12 so we qued for a while, then  in we went.  It was a lovely day so there were a lot of people there.  We sold most of our big things and made about a hundred pounds so we were chuffed to bits as it would have only gone on the tip anyway. 

Had a quiet night, Elise came home about 5 so we just chilled for the rest of the night and watched 24 and Lost. 

Today Dave has been back to the tip and visited a few charity shops with the remainder of the stuff from the car boot then him and Elise have just come and had their dinner with me.  Elise is going to stay at work with me for an hour while Dave goes for a run so she is sitting next to me drawing.  Anyway got loads of work to do and going to have to spend the next two weeks getting on with my assignment and could really do with having a couple of days in the library.  I also need to start shopping for holiday clothes for me and Leesco, we are going to go on Saturday and get it all done.
It is a gorgeous day today and it's really getting me ready for our hols.  Can't wait.  :o) x x

It's the weekend already. Yay :o)

This week has flown, well it would do considering I've only had 3 days at work.  Haven't done a lot the last couple of days, right back into the old swing of things on the diet front.  Dave and Elise have been off all this week so Dave has been doing lots of "jobs" around the house which is great. 

Tonight we're going to Jill and Marc's for drinks which will be nice as haven't seen them for a while, Elise is away all weekend this weekend which I don't mind so much with her being off for two weeks, it's a bit of a change of scenery for her and Alisha her friend is going with her too so that will keep her entertained.

  Tomorrow me and Dave are going to go right through the house and have a good old sort out as we are going to the car boot sale on Sunday at Tranwell.  We've got a few big things to sell like a bike, baby changer, mini disc player etc but we've got loads of old dvd's, D S games and stuff aswell so we thought we may aswell.  I have to say not my favourite way to spend a Sunday but hey ho. 

So not much else happening at the minute, just on count down to our jollies woo hoo. 

Laters x

Back at my desk!

Well that flew over didn't it?  Had a fab weekend and have been very busy, obviously too busy to blog.  Thursday night we went to Star Bowl to take Elise to a party and me and Dave had a wonder around Royal Quays, wasn't very impressed to be honest.  Only bought a pair of flip flops for Elise and a birthday card for Cerys so not very successful. 
Friday we went to mam's for Easter breakfast which was lovely, Cerys was very funny and won champion egg.  Friday afternoon Elise went off to her dad's and me and Dave went over to Emma and Lee's.  We went out for a few drinks in the afternoon and later on went back to their house and met up with Leanne and Anthony which was good fun.
Saturday Dave and I went home as Dave was going to Wooler then out with the boys in Alnwick.  Elise came home and we headed over to Joanna's where we stayed the night.
Sunday we were at Cerrie and Mickey's for dinner which was fantastic, she did amazing considering she had 14 for lunch.  Everyone had a great day all beit with too much food and alcohol. 

Monday Dave, me, Elise, Cerrie, Liam, Cerys and mam and dad went to Morpeth for a mooch around the shops, Elise got money for Easter and it was obviously burning a hole in her pocket so we went to paperchase and she bought some pens then we went to Waterstones and on my recommendation she bought The folk of the faraway tree which I adored when I was younger, as you can see the over has changed somewhat.  There are three books in total so the one she bought was all three of them combined.  She also bought the new Wimpy Kid book which she adores.  After that we went to Marabini's for our dinner which again was really nice but very naughty :o(.  Monday night Dave, me and Elise went over to Claire and Chris' for the night as we hadn't seen them over the weekend.  Yesterday we came home and just had a lazy day watching telly and reading which was really lovely after some hectic days.  We watched Pacific the first two parts anyway which was really good.  There are another 8 to watch but not sure when they are coming onto sky.  Definitely worth watching though. 

 We also caught up with 24, Lost and Flash Forward.  At 5pm Elise went off to another birthday party this time just at a friends house in Ashington for tea then they went out in a pink hummer for  a drive.  She thoroughly enjoyed it and has decided that this is what she want's for her birthday.  She was very funny, asking did I know there were only 2 of them in the whole world!!  Britney Spears has one and then this one is Ashington.  How's about that then eh!!!! 

So, any way back at work now and not feeling particularly motivated but hey ho best give myself a shake as got loads to do and an assignment to finish in 3 weeks, oh dear, really need some inspiration.

Diet wise all in all been pretty pants, so no doubt will pay for it on Friday.  Just had a black coffee and I'm half way through my first litre and a half of water so back to the grind.
