Check out my Slide Show!

Ah!!!! Now I've got this thing to work, check out my photies at the bottom of the page!!!!!!

Now if only my livingroom actually did look like that and I did have a slide picture thingy that size on the wall. Cheap art, how cool would that be LOL!

Great intentions!!!

Well I had yesterday afternoon off so I amazed myself by getting tons of housework done. All the ironing done, did a load of washing and tumble dried it, hoovered the whole house, cleaned the cooker and then made haggis, neeps and tatties for tea!

The idea being that if I did all the housework yesterday then I could spend all weekend scrapping without feeling guilty. Haven't really done as much today as I intended but I have finished a little maze book I've made for Pete, done my LO for the Overlooked blog challenge. Still got a CJ entry to do and a few other bits and pieces.

This is my LO for the overlooked challenge - my favourite mug




I'm up to date with the A-Z Journal that I'm doing, only doing tags so that makes it a bit easier :) This is the front cover ....



And these are tags 'A' and 'B'



Really enjoying being creative at the moment, lets hope it continues :)

Amnesia?!?

Now, I came to the conclusion a little while ago that my brain can only hold a certain amount of information............Seriously, I reckon that once a learn something new, something else that I don't need falls out of my brain to make space for the new stuff!

Recently this has been proved by various conversations between me and pedro, I've forgotten dozens of bands we've been to see over the years, people we've met, places we've been. It's ridiculous!!!! I used to be really good at remembering everything but now ........... well I'm just useless. But one thing I tend not to forget is films, them or TV stuff. I can tell if I've aldready seen an episode of CSI within the first 30 seconds and then tell you what happens!

But Sunday night we settled down to watch a dvd, 'The Departed', sounds really good ... Matt Damon, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jack Nicholson, Alex Baldwin, Martin Sheen. Had recommendations from friends, the lot. So we put it on, couple of minutes in I thought ......... 'this bit here seems familiar' but then decided that maybe we'd hired it in the past and I fell asleep (cos that's NEVER happened before!?!), watched a little bit more and didn't really remember anything else until about 30 minutes from the end I recognised another bit, still couldn't remember the end though. So kept watching, right to the end, kinda remembering bits but not really and it turns out that we have seen the film before but had basically forgotten it! Weird, that has never happened before.

Tonight we are going to be .................................

Well I've spent the weekend, recovering from Friday, lazing about, doing a little bit of crafting (finished my tag book for my A-Z of 2008) and not really doing very much else!

Friday went really well, during the day was great. Spent a lot of time with a range of people I work with and talked about different things that will impact on our teams/work, etc. I think a good time was had by pretty much everybody. Then came the evening! My team was part of the entertainment in a cross between the X-Factor meets Stars in their Eyes! We were .................................................



..................................... YES, the Village People! But at least we did it, got up there and had a laugh, even had everyone dancing along which was a plus.

Back at work today and Friday was all anyone talked about! Think there was some work done but not as much as is normally done on a Monday!

Right I've ignored it long enough, the huge mountain of ironing sitting to the side of the telly cannot be ignored any longer (and I've no clothes for work tomorrow)!

AND .............................. relax!

I'm exhausted, I feel like I've never halted this week and it's not over yet. I feel like a different person tonight and I actually feel slightly healthier than I have done in weeks. Still got a little touch of the lurgy but this week I've had really bad stomach cramps, migraine, extreme moodswings. Not to mention feeling shattered all the time and having the motivation of an incredibly unmotivated thing!

But it's been a weird week work wise, Tuesday was spent 'working' at home, crafting! And getting paid for it!







This is the mess I got to make at home, during the day, without needing to feel guilty cos it was for work! All in aid of our staff conference which is tomorrow. Now I just hope it all goes to plan!?!?!? And as for tomorrow night, well lets just say I am being very brave or stupid - haven't decided which yet, depends on the outcome of the evening entertainment!

Right need to have an early(ish) night, need to get up at the crack of dawn to get the bus to Cumbernauld.
