Busy Week!

All go this week, last week before the summer holidays. Little man has enjoyed his bouncy castle morning at playgroup today which was followed by bus ride into Norwich to get school uniform... yikes!

Tommorow is very last playgroup day blub blub weep weep! Hopefully lots of fun will be had at the special sports day party, though it maybe the start of a looooong learning curve that you can't always win everything!

Seaside Holiday

We've had our annual caravan seaside hols this month. Blissful few days near Dymchurch, Kent. Lots of fun on the beach, has made me think we must take little man out more to the lovely beaches we have near to home. Have lots of train photos from our hols due to little man still loving them and being quite happy to go on the hythe - Dungerness light railway 2 days running. Ma & pa came down to join us for a couple of days to help celebrate Little man's bday. Lovely time had by all. Missing the very tame wild rabbits who use to hop about all around our caravan every morning and evening. oooh and we also won the pub quiz in the clubhouse - the only night we dared ventured in. Little man and I had to go on stage to pick up our certificate and everyone sang happy birthday to little man :)

Fish!

Meet the latest additions to our family - Thomas & Gordon. For those of you who know us, no prizes for guessing who named them!

Boasting, gloating mummy!

One of little man's nursery staff came up to me today and said about little man... quote...
"He is a lovely little boy, so polite, always remembers his pleases & thank yous, well done mum you've done a good job bringing him up" (as if its all over, job done LOL!)

bargain hunter...hopefully!

Some of you will know I'm abit of an oxfam online fan having bagged some lovely things in the past from stuff like Zara & Per Una.

I've been wanting to get some cheap summer dresses as the only ones I have are 2 posh ones & one I've stretched beyond recognition having worn it when pregnant alot.

Anyway have finally settled on going for a ditzy pink country casuals dress for £28.

Had a quick look on CC's own website saw loads of stuff I liked - oh dear!! I can't decide what to be more depressed about - the fact that I have purchased 'country casuals' - am I now officially an 'old rural bag - def not down with the kids' or the fact that with dresses on their site approx £100-£160 I can't even afford their normal sale stuff!

oooh sneaky!

Having been locked out, Daisy the cat ever resourceful simply got onto conservatory roof, jumped up to lttle man's open window and promptly hopped into his room. Found this out when we were awoken about 4ish this morning to her scratchy at the door wanting to get out.

About 6.45am now and I'm up starting the day with that head sewn backwards feeling, little man & me about to sit and read The Beano together! Which by the by cost me £3.50!!!!....'was never that in my day'..........

Jack & Daisy - Naughty cats

I am writing this at 1.30am because the cats brought a mouse in a while ago and all hell has broken loose.

Must say I am more annoyed with hubbie than cats - why? because we heard the cats chasing it about downstairs but he refused to get up, saying they'll know where it is in the morning (not too concerned about mouse welfare then!) I must add at this point I'm not too hot on catching them myself so I normally keep my head down & mouth shut, however this time...

They chased it into our bedroom as door had been left open, our mattress is now up against the window and the 2 bits of the base of bed are apart and turned upwards. Locating the mouse is even more difficult thanks to the old computer, keyboard, screen & printer all still in our bedroom having sat there for ages (waiting for mircles to happen and hubbie to 'deal' with it.) Hubbie's mixture of clean & dirty clothes are still strewn over the floor because I haven't got around to finally cracking about it and picking it all up myself as I always do. Does this sound like a married woman's rant, of course it does because it really is!!! Rants not really allowed on my blog but as its mine I can change the rules and it might give some of you a giggle anyway :)

As always happens the cats have now lost interest. Jack has gone back out and Daisy is sitting downstairs right by my feet.

Lots of the crashes and bangs at the mo, god knows what the neighbours must think!

I hope my bed goes back together ok.

I hope little man has a lie in.

oooh good news mouse caught! Hubbie EXTREMELY vexed I have not helped! Got to go and help put room back now, cats have been locked out, better finish this now - if he catches what I'm writing about think I'll be locked out too!

Sunshine!

What a blissful day! A friend and her little girl over for lunch, ate in the conservatory, kids played in the garden. Even yukky hayfever week stopped in its tracks by brillant tablets & eyedrops - amazing transformation, I look human again oh and can breathe!

Blackbird's nest

This is a picture of the abandoned Blackbird's nest from our Honeysuckle bush! Thank goodness the birds finally came round to their senses as not a good place to start a family with these two in the garden!

Photo Technology back at last!

At last we are almost there... as you can see can now upload photos, only taken us ooh a few months to sort out! Looking forward to new all singing dancing printer arriving tommorow as well, just need to install microsoft word back on again and we are back in business!

Anyway my blog has suffered greatly during our computer woes and is much need of some pics to brighten it up again so enough of my chit chat....

Very Excited this week because...

... little man has got into our village school - our 1st choice. Starts part time Monday 6th Sept eeeekkk!

....Have booked our summer hols :) cheap & cheerful near Dymchurch, Kent

...and the sun continues to shine :)

Lovely Sunshine

Wish I could put some photos on here for you as now the sun is finally coming out to play it looks lovely round here. Really think this is the best time of year for Norfolk it looks so pretty everywhere now with the sun out and all the spring flowers.

Little man is still waking up mega early, he seems to be coping it with it much better than me. Looking forward to deliveries today and 2m of scrummy home bits & bobs which include new DARK curtains for little man, hopefully that might work. Rearranged little man's bedroom on sunday so he could have his farmhouse tent/wendy house thing up and since then he has been sleeping in that! Doesn't seem to make any difference waking up early whether he's in a bed or not. We have a Ben 10 duvet winging its way to us though so maybe the bed might be favourite again soon.

Hoping to have a lazy day today as won't have another at home day until sunday.

I'm lovin...

1) my family
2) Twilight dvds & Breaking Dawn Book
3) posh, purple bedroom
4) Ashes to Ashes
5) little man's endless cool artwork
6) little man's "rock" dancing & crowd surfing to rocked up jungle bk song
7) sunny conservatory
8) my mates
9) The delicious miss dahl
10)daffodils

Internet troubles

Hiya,

Sorry its been soooo long since I've updated. We've had lots of computer trouble at home which is still on going. To cut a long story short we've had a lovely new pc which has been sitting here for weeks, we still can't use it and only have basic stuff on our old pc which we are still using. We have tried to sign a new internet deal with BT and then TalkTalk both of which didn't process our orders correctly and had no record of anything! We are still waiting for TalkTalk to talk talk to us!

Anyway I had given up with the blog with all that going on as I thought it would be pretty boring not being able to upload any pics onto here, but I hadn't anticipated how long this was going to drag on for so I've decided to finally catch up anyway.

Pancake Heaven!

Little man & I sat in kitchen while we waited for hubbie to dish up our pancakes, fillings this year included different jams, bramley apple, ice creams, and the fav golden syrup. yum yummy yum :)

Now what shall I give up this year?......
