time for a catch up

Hi all,

WOw I have been slack havent I, I havent blogged in over 10 days how shocking.....

Anyhoo... The kids have had colds and i have had my panic attacks come back....But now the kids have given me their colds.. How nice of them to share something with me...

Well not alot has happened in 10 days, havent lost a guy or anything.

We got 3 trailer loads of firewood yesterday and yes that meant we cut and loaded it ourselves.
I tidied up the section a little yesterday.

A close family friend died on Sunday night...cant go to the funeral as its in Auckland...will send a card..

Alot happening at kindy though, they are expecting a lot of money out the parents in a short amount of time.
They are selling sauage rolls 20-25 for $3.50. Calenders are $10 and the kindy photos are $25 a pack with the class photo being $12.Doesnt sound like alot but if you get 1-2 sausage rolls, 2 calenders and 3 packs of photos it sure adds up... Dont forget Alex AND Abi go to the same kindy.

It makes it hard as we are only paid fortnightly and I feel stink if I dont get anything.

I also have lost my inspiration to scrap... this is what I really hate. I want to do some but cant be bothered.

But anyway, I just read my blog how bloody depressing it is.. Dont worry im not always this sad... Just having one of those days....

Make a smart comment, cheer me up!

WOW what a week!

WOW, we have had a busy week.

Since I last posted, our washing machine decided to die so we went a bought a new 7.5kg Simpson washing machine and a 6kg baumatic dryer.
Both are so huge, taking up all my space.

Then on Monday we went to a couple of schools to see which one we would find suitable for Alex.
We had 2 choices, David Henry School and North School.
DH has only 190 pupils where North has almost 460.
We have chosen North for him as it has the facilities he needs for his development issues.

So on Tuesday I enrolled him and he starts school visits on the 1st November even though he wont be starting school till February.

Wednesday i was sick and Thursday was shopping day so that was really busy. Exciting stuff I know!
On Friday, I recieved my other CJ from the scrapping kiwi mums forum, it was Dallas' CJ.
She has this amazing idea in her book I may steal for another CJ if I ever do one.
But since I had Rach slice Cj and now Dallas' CJ here I needed help this work way way too much for me as its way to damn good.
So off i trotted to Scrapbookin Annies..... The ladies in the shop including the customers were realy really impressed with the great work, hope you ladies dont mind me showing off your work.but I did need help.
So after 2 hours I came home with loads of ideas and paper I have never used before.
But even after that, if you get to see my work, you'll understand that im into simplistic scrapbooking. I dont use a lot of embellishments and i hate to distract from the patterned paper if I use any.

So by last night i was buggered, i completed 2 CJ with tags in 1 afternoon. It may not have looked it but they did take me a long time to do.

BUT I am going out to night to a friends place for a girls night in. Should be fun...I never get invited to do much with my friends as most live out of town, not that has stopped me before.

Well I must go and get my "stuff" together for tonight.
Organise dinner.
Have a shower.
Make myself look pretty.....

Trip to the BIG SMOKE

Well we are home safe, well we came home Monday night but I was even too buggered last night to post.

We had an extremely busy weekend catching up with people and doing things we needed to in Auckland.

I cant believe how much i miss the place, it still feels like home.

We had fun visiting on Sunday and with the party it was a full on day.

The party was good.Still not sure on the response about my canvas????? Nothing was said to me about it.

We spent way too much money... had 2 too many late nights.

Kids had a blast, next time im coming up for a week and taking the kids to the zoo and Kelly Tarltons (family pass from flybuys).

Will post photos tomorrow, my camera sux and all the photos are too dark to post. Plus i guess it didnt help when Auckland was way overcast and pouring with rain all weekend.


Catch ya later

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours.

Well here they are as promised. Dont be envious of my stunning body (LMAO I hear ya) Dont be sick though....



This is part of a tattoo on my right thigh but the roses on it suck so hubby refuses to show it (my legs go figure)

this is my back
this is on my left shoulder

This is the inside of my left ankle(bee)
This is the outside of my left ankle (butterfly)
These dolphins go all the way around my left thigh

Thank you Steph.....

I just wanted to give Steph a HUGE SPANK YOU......

Steph has kindly given up her Thursday night to help me out with my blog.
You see I still couldnt figure out how to list my blogs that I stalk on my blog.
But Steph who only has had her new blog for about a day has figured this out yet me, who has had my blog for over a month still couldnt figure it out.

What to pack???

Well we are off for a weekend away in Auckland, YAY I hear form some of you the rest of you just ask why that place?

Well I am from Auckland and I do still love thje place, it still holds a special place in my deep dark heart.
But I really am going up for my cousins birthday party.

We have a few poeple to go visit and things and places to go (scrapbooking shops here I come!!!!!!!!!!!)

But what on earth do I pack? I dont want people looking at me as if I come from a hick town, Tok is not THAT hick... lol...

The kids have all nice clothes packed but as for me since I have had the kids I have packed on the KGS and cant lose it. But I dont really have much to wear which is very depressing. So how can i look nice and still be comfortable? Go naked... YEAH RIGHT... wear a moomoo? A bit chilly i say..... a paper bag perhaps?

I was just reading nic howards blog..sorry cant do those fancy links that others can do...
But anyhoo she was commenting on how the tattoo on Tommy Lees back woudl look good on a page.
Which got me wondering and being nosey.

How many of you have tattoo? If so what are they? Are you willing to expose yourself on your blog?
I dare you... wellnot a dare blog dare just a Zeetra dare...

I personally have 6 of them and want to add to my collection so if the scrapbooking shops dont appeal, there is a great tattoo studio on Lincoln Rd.... I will be paying them a visit for sure.

I will also expose myself on my blog... but not in this dark light plus I need an hand to take the photos of my back IYKWIM....watch this space.

So coem on Bloggers I dare ya.... expose yourself...
