Where did the weekend go?????

Can't believe it's Sunday night! What have I done this weekend? This week in fact. Feels like I've slept (or been in a daze anyway) Spent yesterday helping my sister at her stall at the Scottish Quilt Championships, it was really good. Lots of fantastic quilts on display, the hard work and talent is so inspiring. Always think I'll give it a go but for some reason I can't seem to get into quilting. Hey ho!

Took ages to get back over the forth road bridge but at least we had a shortcut to it only took about 30 mins to get onto the bridge - some other people looked like they were going to waiting at least an hour!!!! Bloomin' road works :(

Anyway had to pop into see my dad on the way home to get my final instructions before he went on holiday, so eventually got home at 7.15pm - 12 hours after I left it!!! Decided to go out for dinner but when we got to the pub they had no tables left and the kitchen was closing at 8pm so ended up with a fish supper - not good for the diet but tasty all the same. Even left some for Jack!

Had intended to spend today doing loads of scrapping but didn't get out of bed until lunchtime, went food shopping, did housework, had Sunday lunch, Pete went to Tilly for his gig (first time for this duo so was a bit nervous!),watched some telly we recorded when on holiday, ordered both our road taxes online (need them for tomorrow - opps!!!!) and now it's 11pm. Did take some pics for doing my LO in a CJ but need to print them tomorrow. Thank goodness tomorrow is a public holiday and I've got the day off - will definitely do scrapping tomorrow. Got so much I need to catch up on.

It's been a hard days night!!!!

I've never had jet lag before but boy have a suffered this week. Got back from Florida last Saturday morning and stayed awake the whole of Saturday. Slept for 13 hours on Sunday and I thought that would be enough to get back to normal! WRONG!!!!! Still not quite back to a normal awake/sleep pattern. Never mind the holiday was more than worth it.

I've taken hundreds and hundreds of photos of the two weeks - 1190 to be exact LOL Trying to upload them to order copies and it's taking ages.

Looking forward to getting them back and scrapping lots and lots of LOs, get to use my new stash too :)

Having a Sunday!!!

Yep, I'm having a Sunday. Been up since just after 7am this morning, which is unheard of for me!!!!!

Only 5 more sleeps til we leave for Florida, yay! Got a friend from work house-sitting while we're away so I've been cleaning like mad today lol!

Now the house is lovely and tidy, the cases are about 75% packed, the rest can't be done until later this week as it's stuff we use every day. So all I need to do now is load more stuff onto my ipod, clear the memory from my camera and watch disney dvd's :)

So I'm off to chill out and look forward to getting on a plane in 5 days.

Almost 2 weeks to go!!!!!!

Cannot believe that we fly out to Orlando 2 weeks tomorrow! It only seems like the other week we book it and now we're getting ready to leave. Suitcases are down from the loft, holiday clothes are in suitcase! Spending money is almost all transferred into dollars, passports and documents are ready and waiting.

Just need to be patient now!!!!!

New beads for my bracelet came today. Need to get new photos dones and post them online. Having a mini crop tonight at a friends's so need to look out some photos. Got a CJ entry to get done and posted at the weekend.

3 weeks to go and a whole mixture of emotions

Yay, 3 weeks from now I'll be somewhere of the Altantic! I can't wait, this holiday has been sooooooooo long coming. We have never taken a fortnight's holiday before, the longest we've been away in the past is a week. This holiday so is long overdue, as DH says it's our honeymoon - 7 years late lol!!!! We did talk about going to Orlando for our honeymoon but we couldn't afford it at the time. Our anniversary is in the middle of our 2 weeks so it will kind of seem like a honeymoon!

Today is not a happy day for me, its 12 years since mum died. I cannot believe it been so long but then on the other hand it seems like on 2 days ago. We are going to the cemetary later on this afternoon to lay flowers as is now the tradition.

I've done hardly any scrapping lately, work has been hetic, I held our Landlords Forum last night so was working from 8.30am-9.00pm. A long, long day but I've got today off. So it's been relaxed.

My team on UKS held our first weekly challenge at the beginning of August and WOW it seems really popular. There is an unbelievable level of talent out there. My own efforts seem very basic compared to some people. Mind you I have only been scrapping since March, so only 6 months.


Just thought I'd post this picture, Jack being fed up while Pete plays on his xbox - it cracks me up, I think it so, so funny!
