Sunshine and Shadows

What a beautiful morning! for some reason all the kids got up with me today so it was breakfast all round and such a happy atmosphere, the kids were all singing away, how lovely is that.

My fella was working til gone 4am so Ive left him to lie in, once they all go to school i then wake him up, hes not a morning person and this lot aren't very quiet to wake up to..lol

Brandon's appointment went well although i didn't realise he had been put onto the disabled register, that shocked me a bit, ill admit, we've been through all this with Callum when he was diagnosed with autism, why label kids like that? to me they are just as beautiful and intelligent as any child out there but have far more manners, common sense and kindness, yes they argue but don't all siblings..lol

But at least he will get the extra help he needs to learn at high school to prepare him for that big bad world, so ill go along with it and back them up at home, none of us knew what it was like out there when we were young (just what our parents said) but like every lesson, be it in a classroom or through life, we learn in the end.....

I had to smile this morning as i received a phone call from the high school from a lovely lady who is trying to help me with the kids and expense that moving up to big school brings, its a nightmare! so far without shoes, coats, trousers or skirts etc its already totted up a bill of £369.00 ! i had so many forms to fill in that again all wanted money in advance for school trips, lockers etc, i just wrote on the forms sorry im skint out will have to pay for trips nearer the time! it must have hit home as she was giving me numbers to try of charities that may help, i knew it was going to be hard but its past a joke, 4 lots of everything including 2 different uniforms for my eldest as hes doing the diploma this year at school and colledge and needs 2 be dressed in uniforms for both places........... times like these dont you wish there was such a thing as a money tree..lol when my kids were little they used to tell me to "go to the hole in the wall mum and get some money" !! hehe now they are older at least they understand that you have to actually have money in the bank to do that ! phewwwwwww they are good though and never moan when the other kids go places and they dont, they have learnt that although i want the best for them, sometimes things are just out of reach, its good in respects nothings come easy here, and they understand that we have to live to our means, not simply what the other kids have..

Im not sure if these places can help yet but its certainly worth a try as without it my lot know they cant go on some of the trips, the uniforms are stretching me already.. im flexible but not made of plastic...lol

Yesterday turned out a lovely day, the stables were so hot and sunny so we got to do the jumping class outside again, which we both loved, they had changed our horses again and halfway through me and jean changed over so it was pretty hard, no horse is the same up there.

We completed what we were asked and are now up to jumping doubles in canter, Its so exciting, all my frustrations went out of the window when i got into that arena, i can understand why so many people are always up there. That's the kind of free spirited life id love, i don't like having a stomach always churning over because of others, I'm a good person and happy with who i am inside and so is my fella and that's all what matters to me.

Last night i went back and was put on Jack, my word he was a testing boy last night, he behaved well waiting to go down to the stables, but all night decided he was on a go slow! lol

I think that's just how it is with him most times, but at least i always have something to work at! hehe

Today Ive ploughed through the work and housework so am going to cook something nice for my fella later and hopefully practise some salsa,the kids are all out at school to their leaving BBQ and Disco so we may as well turn this place into one and enjoy ourselves..

I'm playing this weekend by ear and hopefully finding something fun to do, we have been talking about going down and hiring some canoes so if my fellas up for it that's first on the list!

The boys all go away together next week camping with the boys brigade!, which means they have also broke up from school for the summer holidays ! omg 7 weeks of bedlam again...

so we have 5 days free of the boys tormenting their sister to make the most of, before the madness sets in and i start pulling my hair out with endless " im bored" conversations.. lol

Lauren will be spending her days with me, while my fella works so we plan to do lots of girly things together, hopefully evenings we can all just jump in the car and go.... I keep hoping its going to get easier now they are all a bit older, but we will see, im going to have 4 teenagers all in here together so i better keep that sense of humour intact and be ready for the hormone overdose .. this years gonna be fun !

Mother Natures Gifts

Its been an amazing week, the suns been shining away for us so we have been trying to enjoy it and get some life back!


Monday morning i spent packing for the website ready for 2pm when it was my jumping lesson with Jean up the stables, we both really enjoyed the class although feeling hot was an understatement, i had Solomon who is a biggy and Wendy took us to the outside arena to do the lesson, it was lovely to be out there with the sun shining on us but very hot! i completed my first triple jump and came home wailing like a banchee, poor Steve i couldn't shut up, he was trying to look interested honestly...lol


Dayle had come to visit and cracked up at the state i came home in, im always happy when im doing something that challenges me though, i dont care how dirty i get, its half the fun, id been wiping my face (i was sweating like mad) but forgot i had black gloves on, which do tend to bleed when they are wet..hehe No wonder people looked at me when i was sitting at those traffic lights, i thought they were just being friendly...hehe

Monday night we all went out a family, our Friend Mark turned up and handed me his car keys!! yipeeeee he went with my fella and some of the kids in our car, so me and Ryan pulled down the roof and were both smiling for England, it was hard when i lost my car, but Mark lending me his has given back that feeling i used to feel when i went out in mine.. i know its not mine and so do drive it with caution, but its just so lovely and i get to wear my cowboy hat again.... poor thing had cobwebs on it! We went out and had fantastic meal by the river and ended up walking up the river banks for hours so me and the kids could feed the swans..talk about peaceful, it was a wonderful way to end such a great day..I took so many pictures of the swans they ran off at the finish..lol

Tuesday it was my fellas birthday ! I had made sure he wasnt working and arranged a day out, we just wanted to chill out and enjoy the sun so i prepared a picnic and set off, we headed for waxham but when we got to Stalham it was so overcast we turned back, after driving just about every coastal route we could find we decided we would just drive round til we found where we wanted to be, it worked! we found a place thats just round the corner from ours that we didn't even know was there, talk about beautiful..


We were there all afternoon, lazing about in a field full of daisy's eating and chatting away, its been a long while since we unwound like that so i thought id make it a memorable one and misbehave myself..lol

There wasn't anyone about and he says its the best birthday hes ever had..

No one deserves a break more in my eyes so im glad he will remember it smiling...hehe

We got back just in time for the kids coming home and decided to make up jugs of sangria and do a BBQ for them, they have all been great kids and supported us when we worked constantly so it was lovely to spend a relaxing night just eating and singing the night away, i told them they were allowed one glass each then soft drinks but i noticed those jugs were getting rather low..lol the kids were also very chilled out, which made me giggle as they all said it wasnt them drinking it !


Mark popped round with his gift for my fella of pink champagne and a bottle of wine from every country round the world so my kitchen looked like a global hangover..lol it also made me giggle as i noticed a bottle of vodka and orange juice in amongst it, and my fella doesn't drink vodka, but through 'man eyes' it was to make sure my fella had a memorable birthday !


what are you saying then about me and vodka ? .....hehe


Wednesday the kids had been given a day off school to practise for a play they are in ? well thats the excuse they gave us parents, so we headed off picnic intact and went to Waxham! it was overcast but still lovely and warm so we spent the afternoon enjoying what is a rare day out together as a family..


I was talking away to my fella when i realised he had fell asleep so being the nature lover i am i decided to keep myself occupied! i honestly dont ever get bored as ill find something amusing to entertain myself with....

EVEN IF IT IS USUALLY AT HIS EXPENSE....lol

Thursday i worked hard to try make up for the time we had taken off and made myself feel better as i did well, but i haven't been skiving and have been doing all the packing and emails etc before bed, so although we had time out it worked as i found that balance that usually manages to elude me.. And discovered im an aunty again to a beautiful baby boy (congrats Becky) im so proud of my sister!

Last night we just about finished off our last bit of energy and went to our much loved Salsa !

That place last night was buzzing! it was like everone was on holiday and totally brilliant, doing regaetton trying to keep up with Sharon's routine had us all in stitches, theres such a good spirit and atmosphere up there you cant help but come home full of excitement, I love being part of that and love the friends we have made up there, we are all trying to arrange a beach party next! so if you think you are gonna get a quiet evening up Waxham one night and we get there first, think again! lol

Its gonna be a summer of sizzling salsa and a few more days off for my fella! ive never seen him look so peaceful as he did when he was sleeping last night, so this week needs to be what we learn from..

Mother nature holds so many wondrous gifts, the sunshine just added to its beauty..

Its given us something back that work took away, and has me looking at what i can do with the rest of it now..

Thank you to you people that have made this week such a special one...

Burning The Candle At Both Ends

Its been a totally brilliant week ! so much has been happening hense my lack of blogging...lol

Where do i start?

Sunday; We went to our friends house for a BBQ with the kids, it was a real giggle i ended up staring in my kids version of a home movie with a dinosoar as my leading male but thoroughly enjoyed myself , The weather was glorious so we all made the most of it and stuck on Shakira, dancing out on the patio ......I would show you the photos but i looked like a chicken ! lol

Monday; Was the all day and night Dancecuban fiesta party day ! OMG This i have to say has got to be one of the best parties ive ever been to, we did class, after class trying new things, my kids were all up on stage doing regaetton with Sharon! that was brilliant even the boys loved it. By 6 i had to pop home to shower and change and drop off the kids, that was the hardest part of the day sitting there waiting for my eldest to come home at 7 was deadly i honestly wanted to go to sleep ! talk about a lightweight !! lol

We went back for the evening party without the kids so could enjoy the mojitos and they didnt let us down, the whole event was one not to be missed, so much atmosphere that place was so alive, we were treated to drumming with Jose and his group, Ariel did Orisha and then had everyone lined up in a mass of excitement and regaetton, i will never forget that night, I had some brilliant dances with my fella not to mention some of the guys there, they are the ones i used to look at it owe and would hide up or pretent to be changing my shoes when they even so much as looked at me, now we're dancing with them ! it was totally amazing..

Tuesday: I woke up again with a dreaded migraine, serves me right for doing so much the last 2 days, using energy i didnt have but decided id find it anyway , I paid the price.. Id still do the same tomorrow though and wouldnt have changed a thing, sadly i missed my riding as i wasnt fit to ride, the day was a blur of sleep and elephants in my head...hehe

Wed; I finally started to load in the new gear ! its taken me days, we were either out with our friends or me in bed in between so i was glad to see the site filling up again..

I wore one of my new silk dresses to the salsa evening and have never had so many compliments! im getting better at being able to wear dresses now and enjoy wearing them to dance in... some of the girls have ordered them so if we all turn up dressed in the same we will just join up to do rueda !! lol where theres a will theres a way, dont they say.. :)

Thursday: Again back to salsa ! my god are my legs killing me now, I had the most amazing dance with a young man who certainly knows how to shake it..lol My word that danced pushed me but apart from standing on him at the start (nerves) i got through it and went home knackered and completely on a high !! a few of us girls sat outside under the stars last night to cool off, it was breath takingly beautiful , the moon was so low it felt like you could reach out and touch it ! Thursday nights are amazing up there, we have such a brilliant group of friends, it feels like you're part of something really special.......

Today; Im a wee bit stiff i will admit ( understatement) but have managed to get through the housework and orders, so im gonna try enjoy the sunhsine, my house is empty (and very peaceful) the kids are all out and my fella is in a meeting for the afternoon.. lol Ill tell him ive been really busy of course, but go sneak out in the garden to do some sunbathing..hehe

Tonight we are out again ! theres a salsa night at the Talk not to be missed ! so im not gonna..lol

Tomorrow im aiming to hit the Keir and Rompe the night away in style... so by next week i should be feeling so fit ! .................

Fit to drop of course.... lol

Have a brilliant weekend everyone...

After The Rain

Its been a terrific morning, the musics so good on the radio, they are playing the all time top 500 tracks so Ive been singing my head off since i woke up and dancing round the lounge..lol

Today although its bank holiday I'm getting set up for the week and packing, ive had a few days off this weekend been out and about and had a great night partying, ive really enjoyed myself, its amazing how good people can make you feel.. I feel really good at the moment ..

My fellas in fine spring spirit and cracking me up today, there isn't a clean word that's coming into his conversation it always ends up with that smirk and i cant help but giggle..it must be the sunshine and warm weather every ones so happy..

Tomorrows going to be a good one, im doing a double riding lesson tomorrow night and cant wait, the earlier part im spending with a barrell (not brandy sadly) as its supposed to really help get that transition right, i thought riding was sitting on a saddle and just going !! theres so much to learn but I'm enjoying it more than i ever have and wake up on riding days beaming..

This weeks been such a breath of fresh air, a bit like sitting outside after the rain has fallen, just as that beautiful sun comes out, everything looks so fresh sparkly and new, it makes you feel like theres so much out there yet to experience, springs arrived, the birds are making their nests and chasing each other about with excitement, so why shouldn't we.....................

I cant put my finger on why i feel so positive at the moment all i know is I feel like a bird thats just discovered it can fly so im enjoying the moment...........

Bank holidays are usually boring... this ones been brilliant.....

Have a great day everyone.......

At One with Nature

Its been a fantastic night... Ive been up Red hall riding tonight..

I love being there, Mondays now are turning into such spiritual nights, its not just about the riding its about being there at one with nature...

The horses run free in the fields, everyone has made me feel so welcome and i just cant get enough of being there..

It was my fellas birthday today, we have had a really good day after not so good a start (a credit card fraud cost me 600 quid today) which wasn't good, Barclay's told me it was confirmed and everything was right, 3 months after sending out the garments they decided they would change their minds, i was furious so have now taken it out of the website.. i cant afford to lose that amount of money, i was buying next week new stock, but sadly now, down to someone not being honest and a thief its stopped me from getting new lines in... Id loverto get hold of them, i can tell you.. i did feel so sorry for my fella, to have that on your birthday wasn't nice... We didn't let it spoil our day instead enjoyed the sunshine in between working and managed to laugh for most of the day...

I wanted to cancel my lesson tonight so i could spend the night with him.. but he wanted to work !! the guy never stops (you were right Sharon and Cheryl) hes definitely a Duracell bunny ..lol But if it makes him happy i cant complain, he always tried so hard...

So tonight i took on the garden first and spent 3 hours creating my tranquil place, the birds are all visiting daily now and its the place i spend most of my time in.. especially if that suns shining..

So tonight i took my camera to the school. Kevin wouldn't let me take a picture of him so was hiding up as his hair wasn't spiked but he said i could mention how sexy he is.... lol he does make you giggle this guys as mad as me...

We had the lesson in the school, so it was a tough night, he was really putting us through our pace and boy wasn't it hot , my hair is still stuck to my head!

I was riding Billy again (hes beginning to play ball now too) usually this horse is so stubborn and wont move til he wants to, so week by week I'm getting stronger legs and learning to get him working with me..I even got him cantering lovely tonight without my whip ...

The night for me was brilliant again, as we got to wash the horses down before putting them to bed, and to be honest its as good as riding to me.. Watching them gallop off into the fields never fails to take my breath away.. its so beautiful........

Ive got a few photos of inside the school. they are a little blurry as it was really dusty tonight and we were moving quick, but thanks to my friends at the stable (all taking the mickey) they did help out and take some photos...lol

lol... I did say they were blurry.......

I got a treat tonight and some good news to finish the night....

The treat was I was allowed to put Dillon to bed (hes spectacular and 21 hands high) and the horse I'm so desperate to ride... Kevin's promised i can ride him as soon as I'm ready, so I'm throwing myself into getting this right but enjoying every moment as it happens...lol

I wanted to try and get me in the photo so i can show you just how tall he is, but holding the rope and trying to take a photo was impossible (and he isn't a horse to mess about with ) but the good news is Kevin's invited me up the stables for the day Thursday !! yipeeee so I'm going into work at 5 getting everything packed and done and starting there at 9am til 5pm, I'm so excited that means I'm riding Wednesday now (jumping) and all day Thursday... I really couldn't feel much happier.. Its home quick shower and then off to meet Cheryl for Richard and Sharon's salsa class..

Ive got to turn in now as i have to be in work by 5am tomorrow (im taking my fella to the beach for the day) seems we had to work so hard today.. its supposed to be beautiful tomorrow and we desperately need a tan, so decided ill work very early mornings and enjoy the sunshine while its here...lol

What a week ive got to look forward to now...........

I cant thank mother nature enough...lol

Getting Dirty

Well we've had another 2 days of sunshine... so that's the summer over with..lol

The birds are all queuing up outside trying to huddle under the bird table so it made me smile this morning.. bless

Its just as mad as last week here, but today Ive got a day at home which is lovely, my fellas busy at meetings today, so i thought id work here and just pack everything tomorrow... i found him on the sofa again this morning, laptop still intact and running on his lap..the tea i made him before i turned in was still there untouched, but hes happy as he got done what he needed to for this morning, the guy never stops trying... hes such a gem (and looks really funny sleeping in his boots) lol

Last night was riding, all day i was excited the day was so beautiful , i think the group was all hoping it would be a hack again...lol

Kevin is such a giggle, i turned up early as usual with him taking the mickey as i cant breath in my back protector so get rather cross wearing it, but the night just got better when i saw what horse i was on.........Billy.......Hes stunning and big !! so i ditched the protector and decided id enjoy the night for what it brought..

he told me if i hacked out on a smaller one last week hed make up for it this week, and boy didn't he..lol

It was one of the best and funniest lessons to date, everyone was laughing all night, one of the guys cracked up when i was told who i was riding as its his usual horse and he doesnt move easily, his words were " You are gonna hurt tomorrow" .. lol oh yes he was right too ! i really do hurt today ...but loved every minute of it, i wouldn't quit and did everything i set out to do, but literally had to kick all the way through the lesson as the horse just sits there taking the piss.. im sure i caught it smiling..im going to buy myself some size 10 boots next time i ride him, then well see who's laughing.....lol They are such smart creatures.....

Anyway i got into canter no problems (which the guy couldn't do last week !! 1 up for the girls, oh yes oh yes !..lol) and really loved riding him, he was such a challenge.., ive got another hack next week but im on another big one ! yipeeeeeeeeeeee Kevins getting better and better every week in my eyes...lol

We could put the horses to bed last night again, but i did kind of come unstuck, i couldn't reach the saddle to get my arm underneath and the guys were killing themselves laughing, so i took billy over to the mounting steps and found my way around it... i may be small but if theres a way ill find one !! lol

I learnt something new last night too ! dont put a tube of polos down your chaps ...lol

It worked its way down to my ankle by the end of the lesson and when i was walking billy back (its miles away) i stopped and took them out as it was beginning to hurt, but then he spots them.. and leading a horse while hes trying to bite you for about 20 mins wasnt fun, i gave in at the finish and gave him one so he would walk nicely..

The funniest part of the night was when walking him through those fields, its still very wet and muddy out there and we came to this huge puddle and mud patch, so im trying to pull him and he decides to nuzzle me into the ditch so he can walk in my dry bit...hehe i came home head to toe covered in mud , sweating and giggling my head off ... my fella laughed and just said, looks like youve had a great night then...... oh yes !

Im not the type of girl that likes to keep it clean, in fact im much happier getting down and very dirty anyday................lol

What a great night its been .........

April Showers

Well its the type of shower i really fancy....lol


Its been a great couple of weeks, I'm still decorating what started just as a kitchen ended up going through different rooms, but once i had started one room i wanted to carry on..lol

Sunshine always makes me feel good so when its shining i want to be doing something happy..

I cant believe its April already the year is flying by, so much has changed here my life is certainly very different to last year, i love the transformation and enjoying each day as much as possible.. we are working hard both in the office and at home, but the difference is we are also enjoying a social life outside of the work and the home...

My fella said that i don't like change, but some changes were definitely for the best and the ones we have undergone are all positive ones... works good, were off to Paris next week for a couple of days and nearly at the end of a dreaded school holiday ! i got the short stick and have been working from here for the last 2 weeks with the kids, but it has allowed me the time to get my home back in order paint everything and reorganise my garden so its all looking much brighter here for it...

I'm back on track trying to look after myself better, enjoying the new friendships we have found, and planning some really fun stuff... spring and summers light and warm evenings open up so much, winters always the time i take stock of what i want in life, whats important and plan the good stuff.... i have a rapidly growing list ! lol

We will be having our holiday very shortly, I'm really excited about spending some time out from being mum and feeling carefree.. after we get back its camping in those woods with the kids and hopefully passing on my love for the outdoors, Ive got my little bits to make dens and keep the young people entertained with Ryan on guitar and me singing round a bonfire it should certainly be memorable if nothing else...lol

Today I'm attacking the front garden, the back is now ready for my fella and his tools tomorrow to add that finishing touch to the new decking, Ive planted apple, cherry and nectarine trees with jasmine, violets and grapevines just about everywhere else, so this year i will have a garden i can really enjoy, my fella is bringing home a new patio suite tomorrow, i have lovingly restored it and claimed the spring look like chair as mine (its beautiful and very comfy)... I'm definitely making the most of whatever sunshine we get and getting outside as much as possible...

Riding is getting very interesting, Ive found a local school just up the road from me within walking distance (i didn't know it was even there!) so Wednesdays now at 3pm i ride there too, its good as they are teaching me completely different things to what my normal school does so between the two places I'm learning fast...

Last week they put me on what i class as a pony though!! i was horrified as it looked tiny, but as i don't weigh a lot they wanted me to feel the difference in the sizes and speed, so it made for a very amusing lesson with Stelli cracking up, she comes along with me now and helps me no end, she likes the little horses and i like the big ones so it gives us both a giggle..

Yesterday thankfully i was put on a lovely big black horse again that i really didn't want to get off, that's the trouble with riding for me... I don't want the time to go, i cant explain how good it feels only that it is a.... I'm so lucky to be alive feeling.......

I haven't been blogging much i know, apologies to you all, but my days have been full and there always seems so much happening this end at the moment, my 'want to do something aches' have turned into aching because of what i did yesterday..lol so at least i hurt because I'm trying to make every day count and experience as much as possible ........ so its the good kind....lol

The suns shining ......so I cant help but feel, ive got to be out there with it and simply enjoy it......lol

Growing wild

Good morning the suns shining again..lol

I had to giggle last night , Laurens like me and loves wild flowers so i came up with the idea of getting one of everything she likes and pressing them into a book along with a happy thought, so last night she comes home with a snowdrop...oops ive asked her never to pick those, they are my all time favourite flower and symbolize alot to me, its a flower that gave me hope (ill explain that later lol) but she came home from school with one, they aren't found everywhere, they are at my riding school and a wood i go when i need to sit back and restock, but not anywhere locally here, they are more wild flowers not what normal people have growing in their gardens...

So last night in she comes so pleased she got my flower, and about ten mins later was followed by a lady who's garden she had been into picking the flowers from.............oops lol

I felt awful but had to stop myself from laughing, i always hoped my kids would turn out resourceful but not to that extent, she had told the lady the flower or for me as i needed happy thoughts, so the lady came to ask... She was fine and said it was a thoughtful reason and laurens promised not to go digging up anyone's gardens anymore, the flowers do indeed grow wild in her back garden , shes elderly and doesn't do anything to it ... i bet its beautiful..

I have all sorts of plans this end for my garden, i want to create a place that's wild but naturally scented, somewhere i can sit through the summer and feel like im somewhere else, so im planting jasmine, grape vines and all sorts of lovelies, not forgetting the lambs tongue !! lol you don't need green fingers for that, just one hell of an imagination when you pick it..............hehe

I must be feeling better, now you all know why i cant wait for spring.. and im taking a keen interest in gardening..

Im working from home today as im sorting out the underwear section and its not good to drool in public.............lol Its belly and salsa dancing tonight so im gonna grab a bath later, prepare everyones meals and get the house all tidy ready for the kids to wreck when ive gone out..

My dad keeps coming back every week and ive resorted to blackmail as i cant miss the classes, so i lay out little prizes for him to give out when they are good and just tidy everything up when i get home, ive had a good night, the kids are happy and grandad now knows why ive got a white streak through my fringe now.. hehe

Has anyone been listening to the marmite song? its by David Jordan 'sun goes down' its one of those you either love or hate.............I totally love it and constantly play it on my headset, he reminds me a bit of prince in the way he moves and paints his nails but i cant get it out of my head, if ever theres a song of the year for me its gotta be that one...... i havent felt like dancing til the sun goes down for a while but those feelings are coming back .... ive put in the youtube below , i dont know why but it just reminds me of chant the woods and finding that spiritual fun loving side and dancing.......

Have a great day everyone xxx

Sunny days

Don't you just love bank holidays..lol

I woke up thinking it was Monday and id got to go to work so I'm up at 5 and hoovering..oops

My fella came flying down the stairs not so happy and asked me politely to turn the bloody thing off and come back to bed, lol i couldn't i was wide awake by then... so Ive been for a run, yes me, honestly the woman who doesn't..lol i never liked that part in boxing, and stuck to the speed skipping as that burns faster than running, but as its such a beautiful morning, i thought id give it a try...

Ive really got back into doing my exercises and even watched the X factor sitting at the top of my pole Saturday ..lol

Yesterday tuned out to be a really nice day, i did what i liked all day, a bit of sewing, lazing about in the garden and went and bought myself a spa thing to go in the bath, lol its not quite like my friends jacuzzi but that little nozzle thing is wonderful if you aim it properly and i really did get quite excited in that bath....lol so i finished the night off with just 2 kids (the rest slept out) and total peace and quiet, and made a necklace .. so it was a good day for me..

Today i have to do photos all day, Ive been putting them off for weeks, and need the space for Paris so i have a mountain of one offs to photo and list, Ive got 3 days to get the lot done and dusted as Wednesday we leave , I'm looking forward to it, as i can go in search for some Celine Dion concert tickets then, i want to take my friends to see, its in the heart of Paris and would made a great weekend away....

I'm also driving through Paris this time so i get used to driving there.... my fella wants to move to France in a few years, when the kids are older ......lol

So i would need to be able to drive there, to go and visit him......hehe

Have a great day everyone, enjoy the sunshine and the day off....

Tanning days

How beautiful is this weather....

I spent an afternoon as usual putting the house back to good , bores me silly but I'm the only one that does it here so cant be helped..lol

We went to a few beaches last night, started off at Sea Palling, waxham, Happisburg, eating far too many doughnuts and candy floss, and finished up in a pub garden watching the sunset... bliss

It was so warm all night, a perfect night for swimming (so i did..lol) with the kids telling me about the sharks in there with me..lol

But it was a really nice night, just what was needed after this week esp Friday...

Im not allowed to work today Ive been told ...lol

So im gonna do all those little bits i didn't get time for this week and later this afternoon I'm gonna go out again....lol

Well you've got to make the most of it today haven't you , its gonna rain tomorrow.... so they say! lets hope they get it wrong again.......

I may also have another car coming very soon... (sooner than i thought anyway), my fella had one came in yesterday at his bmw place and they said it had Jo written all over it, shes gold and has 4 seats....he wont let me pay for it though, as the guy there sold mine and my fella has said hell take this car as wages for the last 2 weeks... i think he still feels bad mine was sold, but it wasnt practical anymore, as hes working i need a car to take the kids to the sitters house and you cant get 4 kids in a Z3 roadster..lol (i did try, i got 2 in the front and one in the boot ! ) lol

Happy Tanning everyone .........

outside in

Good morning everyone, happy bank holiday to you that are still lounging about in your dressing gowns..lol

well the weekends over and i have to say Ive had a good time, Ive been down to the beach felt the wind through my hair and feel so much better than i did Friday...

Ive been outside this morning in the garden speed skipping..lol honestly.. it burns calories like nothing else and if you pop a head set on with fast tracks on it, you skip like crazy, i learnt that in kickboxing and always enjoyed it,although i did get wet this morning as its raining...lol

I'm sweeping up sand everywhere this morning, i seem to have brought back half the beach last night but i had such a great night it was really worth it...

I went back to or chant beach and sat with a group who were all enjoying a few drinks and a welcoming large bonfire, it really is such a magical place and brings back so many fond memories of our night in that storm...

Today i have 3 dresses to finish sewing, 4 kids hair cuts (5 if you include the other half), and a house to clean, as all need doing badly by tomorrow so its gonna be a busy day today, but I'm full of life today showered and ready to go....lol

Lol i had to giggle yesterday, i had a guy called romeo send me the most bizare email through my space, he was nice looking (and knew it) and decided to email me with a friend request (amongst other things lol), i wouldn't normally do it but i sent back a reply telling him that although he had looks he didn't have much else going for him, probably had a dick the size of his manners....

Id rather have a friendship with a battery powered rabbit lol....

Ive met a few really nice people who i talk to on there and really am not interested in the outside shell only whats inside a person...

have a great day everyone, whatever you are doing.......
