Sorry!

No pics of my crafting space today. Had to visit my dad and check that my newly cut key worked in the door (such a faff, it takes a year to get it and then I have to go to three different shops to find on that can cut it!). Well I got fed tonight (lovely sausage and mash with onion gravy and peas, thanks to my step mum) and we watched Trinny and Susannah. Well TTFN and see ya tomorrow.

Bad girl!!






I have been very naughty. I am seriously behind in my blog. I do however have a good reason.

The last piece of new furniture for my room has finally arrived. Word of advice to all - Do not get Ikea to deliver furniture to you, or you may end up like me, waiting six weeks for it only to have to go out and find the truck and tell them where to go! So having been without furniture for 6 weeks (we gave the old stuff to a little boy I know), it took me a day to put together and then two days to sort out my room. Now my room is sorted I have scrapping space in it. Yay! All my stuff has been removed from the living room, much to my mother's delight, to be placed upstairs. So that's where I've been for the past 10 days, up in my room scrapping. I love it! True, I do have to squeeze into my chair which is behind a desk and infront of a radiator (with just enough space to get in), and there's stuff piled up around me. But it's specific scrapping space and the piles are at least organised.

I have my TV and radio set up so I can watch my videos or listen to my audio books. I have been scrapping almost every day and I love it. So I'm sorry for being a very bad blogger but I'll try to be better.

Here are some of the LO's I have managed to do recently.


Well I'll show some more tomorrow and I'll try and get some pics of my scrapping space. TTFN x

Oooops.....missed a few!

Sorry about being MIA for a while. It was a busy weekend, my mum turned 60 but sssshhhh don't tell anyone, and I've got a stinking cold so I'm not feeling my best.
I've not heard anything else from Addenbrookes. I went and had my blood test on Friday. A lovely lady from occupational health managed to get my appalling veins to play ball and took the sample from my hand. It hurt far less than it has in the past. I've just got a very faint yellow bruise as a result. I'm gonna phone them tomorrow and see if I can find out more.
After the blood test I went shopping in Cambridge with my friend. It was really nice to see her but, as I'm highly disorganised at the moment with regards to Christmas presents, I didn't actually buy anything!
I've been up to Stagenhoe today to see the fundraising manager at Sue Ryder. I'm helping out with their Lights of Love campaign. It's a way of remembering those we love who are no longer with us. Have a look.
Well I'm a little behind with a CJ at the monment. Sorry guys I seem to be saying that alot. This time it's down to me not getting the posting date right. So I'm off now to finish it.
TTFN mwah

Rain.....

Yes that's what I stood in today!! That and the freezing cold. Even so I had a great day. We had a climbing wall, run by Spiderman and his alter ego Venom (also known as Justin and James), and two lovely ladies who did amazing face painting for 5 hours. We managed to raise a fair amount for Sue Ryder Care.

Just a couple of LO's for you tonight......



This LO is made from DCWV paper, Autumn Leaves MOD papers and buttons, Bazzill bitty blossoms, chipboard square and cardstock offcut, Making Memories alpha, Basic Grey alpha and Anita's sticky ribbon.


This one's made with Bazzill cardstock and bitty blossoms, Autumn Leaves papers and buttons, Love Elsie fabric paper, Paperchase gems, Making Memories cheeky shimmer alpha and Basic Grey alpha.

I'm hopefully off to Addenbrookes to have my blood test tomorrow (Yeah right, like I'm looking forward to that!) and then off to Cambridge, shopping with my lovely friend Trudy (she makes great cards).

TTFN mwah!

News

Sorry about not posting for a while. Just a bit forgetful.
Well a bit of news this time so here goes....
The fire walk was amazing, thirty-one people walked on hot embers to raise money for Sue Ryder Care. Although it was fantastic to watch, and all the walkers did brilliantly, you won't catch me doing the next one. Tomorrow I'm off to Stevenage town centre where we will be raising money with a climbing wall and face painting. I just hope the weather holds and we're not doing it in the rain! EEK
The best news though is that it looks like I've got a job. In true NHS style I didn't find out but someone ringing me. Oh No, that would be too simple. A lovely lady from the occupational health department rang me to have a chat. As we went on I kind of got the impression that she wasn't going to ring everyone they interviewed. She confirmed this, so I guess that means they're offering me the job. I've got to go in for a blood test, which I am NOT looking forward to. I am absolutely horrific to take blood from. I have veins but they're buried so deep down and are most excellent at hiding. It always hurts and many times they don't find anything! I know, I know, I'm a nurse and I should be good at this. I'm sorry nurses make awful patients, not quite as bad as doctors, but nearly. I am going to make up for this by going into Cambridge to do some shopping. Most will be window shopping but now I've got a glimpse of some money coming in, I may treat myself!!!!!!!
I managed to get a few LO's done yesterday. I've run out of printed US pictures, so until I get some more printed out I've gone back to other miscellaneous photos which need doing. At least this way I can do some 'tidying up' of me photos.
Well, TTFN. Will upload tomorrow.
