Test post

This is to see if I’ve cracked inserting pictures yet….

The sun is shining…..

What a lovely day it’s turned out to be!  Started off quite murky and grey but the sun broke through and it was a lovely afternoon, very warm! 

 

 

 

Day started off with my dreaded sebaceous cyst leaking, so DH had a go at it and quite a lot of puss came out….yewww!  I can’t wait to be rid of the bloody thing!! 

 

Bought a copy of Scrapbook Inspirations today as I believe it is ceasing publication so I thought I’d get one last issue.  It’s not a mag I buy religiously (in fact I don’t buy any religiously) but it is a good mag and will be missed from the shelves I’m sure.

Have started to comment on Facebook again as I got out of the habit and it’s quite a good way of keeping up with friends and family (if I remember!).  

Tentative Tuesday….

Well here we are on the 2nd day of blogging and I have downloaded Windows Live Writer as recommended by fellow bloggers.  This is supposed to make life much easier in blogland and so I’m willing to give anything a go – so onwards and upwards.

Nothing much new to report today (as always)   because I live such a boring life, however I will try to post a couple of recent pictures to jazz this post up a bit!

Blogging for scrapbookers....

Once more into the breach dear friends.....

Inspired by Shimelle's latest on-line class ~ Blogging for Scrapbookers I am going to resume posting to my blog (again) but hopefully (with Shim's help) it shall look prettier and be more informative and fun.

Another day......

another dollar!

Can't believe it's the start of another week.

I had a good weekend, spending some time down at Weymouth with my brother, Nick. But of course that had to be counter-balanced by feelings of guilt and inadequacy following an argument with my DD!

Anyhoo here are my catch up pages for LSNED.

Monday, Monday.....

Nothing much happening today....went around to see Mum & Dad for lunch after work.

I've done my LSNED and am glad that I seem to be keeping up Ok with this project........so far!

Where's the weekend gone?!?

Not much to tell today, I'm trying to catch up with one or two chores that haven't been done in ages and also change my wardrobe over from summer to winter and throw out some bits and give some to charity.

I've done by LSNED LO for day 5 about the bloomin' weir-rabbit!

Back to work tomorrow but thank goodness I'm back to part-time now!

Sore Saturday....

Forgot to put the bunny away while is was light yesterday so had to chase it around the garden in the dark with a torch which resulted in me getting bitten by the bl**dy thing! Someone else can put it away tonight!

The reason I forgot to do it when I should have is because the son-in-law of the lady from the accident turned up at my door with some flowers for me - what a lovely, kind gesture.


Pages 3 & 4 for the LSNED project. Day three was about discovering that I hadn't turned over my perpetual calendar for days and days and was still in August! Day four was about my general hatred of planning menus, shopping, unpacking it all etc. Anyway I managed to get around Sainsburys and back home within an hour by just focusing on what I need and sticking to the shopping list! Woo hoo!!

Turbulent Thursday.....

Phew......seems to be a quieter evening here TG! Last night a car mounted our driveway, knocked down our drainpipe and then reversed into some bushes. The driver then tried to get out of the car and collapsed on the road. It's a good job Megz happened to be at her bedroom window and saw what happened....she shouted down to me and I went to investigate. Found an elderly lady on the floor, called for an ambulance and stayed with her until they arrived along with two cop cars as well!!





Here are the first two pages for my Learn Something New Every Day project.....quite pleased with them but hoping to improve as I go along. May even try some digital pages too as we go along.

I'm having one of those 'don't seem to be enough hours in the day phases at the moment but must try not to stress over it and just catch up as and when I can.

Wet Wednesday....

Only worked 'til 2pm today and then the temp took over....woo hoo!! Not doing anymore overtime unless I really, really have to.....it eats into my scrappin' time too much! LOL

Day two of Learn Something New Every Day and I haven't had time to stop and think about it properly yet and won't tonight either as I'm going to the cinema with Megz, we're going to see Ugly Truth.

It's wet and cold here today so I think Autumn is truly setting in early. I'm glad we've booked a few days in Spain in October - might get to see a bit more sun then!
