25th Disney Birthday!


Here is one of the 106 photo's from last night!
I had such an amazing night, despite the funny looks and feeling a little fat in my dress!
I had my hair cut early Saturday morning and hasn't told anyone so it was a bit of a surprise for the people who turned up!
Of course I was Cinderella
Kev-My Prince Charming
Vicky - My Ugly Step sister! Love you really!)
Jenni-Minnie Mouse
Emily-Jessie
Sue-Jack Sparrow
Rebecca-Minnie Mouse
Clare-Jessie
Big G- Woody
Vicky-Tinkerbell
Sim - Captin Hook
and Laura, Gary & George turned up too

I can't wait to scrap my picture and have ordered them off Photobox already...I have used them so much in the last few weeks and they are SOOOO great. Photos are great quality and soooooo quick!

The week has just flown by.
Monday I was at the gym
Tuesday I was at a workshop from 7.30-10, I made 4 pages and one of the other ladies there made 3 yes count them 3 lables! ha ha ha
Wednesday I went swimming at the gym on my own!!! I managed 30 lengths in 30mins
Friday I took India swimming at the gym for the mother and tots swim...it was so quiet so India and I swam for 45mins, I got a fair few lenghts done but not as many as I would have liked!
Then I took Kev out for dinner and to see James Bond at the Cinema to cheer him up after having some bad news that he'd been made redundant again :o(
Not only that but is Great Nan Rene had been admitted to hospital :o(
Fingers crossed everything will work out.

The gym.

Last night I went to the gym for my Health Check.
Before my HC I went and swam for 30mins or so....blimy! Am I feeling tired today! lol
I swim most weeks with I3 and we generally stay in the pool for 1 1/2 - 2 hours coz we have good fun, but that is NOTHING compared to 30mins of purely up and down swimming! LOL

HC went without any issuse, yes i'm obease at 5'6 and just under 16st (apprantly scales at home were out a little!)

Next tuesday I have my 1-2-1 to complete a programme of best equipment to use...how exciting!

Also I hit 'The Range' in Colchester on Friday and brought a carrier for when I go out to my workshops...tonight for example.
Didn't really find too much else I fancied. Weather it was because I have too much going on I can't think past the projects i'm working on?

Saturday I ventred into Epping where a friend was holding a card sale. I picked up some really lovely cards (only spent £16!!!!)

I need to get some pictures added at some point but I have a busy week ahead.
Scrapbooking, gym, Kev's, gym and Saturday is my Birthday Disney night out!!!!

Karma

I came on about 30 mins ago and wrote a HUGE long rant about a particular nanny I knew...
Then I realised if I did that I was just as bad as her and its all so school ground like!

So here I am, deciding I am going to send her a message myself regarding her leaving me alone and stop stabbing me in the back.

Nannys Helping Hand (Issue 5)




This month in the NHH magazine I had 3 articles, my usual fact file then Lyndsey told me late one night she was a few articles short, so I whipped up Social Networking as a Nanny and the Crafty Christmas Count down.
I'm so pleased with how the articles turned out! :o)
Can't wait till next issue, and to get writting for it! (Which should be now but I'm catching up on other things and debating going out to buy some scrap booking paper....)

Halloween LO



Here is the 2 pages of Halloween...I LOVE it, origanlly thought maybe it was a little too busy but I don't care! I really love it.

I haven't done the pumpkins inside as I have run out of black paper but I can't wait to get started!!!

The pages open up from the middle into a 4 page LO

I LOVE these borders!

Friends without faces...

Friends Without Faces
by Thomas Teague

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens,
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes,
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name,
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt,
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know,
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind,
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell "real" people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains,
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names
