Excitement .... anticipation ......Joy??!

I know i am incredibly sad, but I am a HUGE, MAJOR, BIG TIME Greys Anatomy fan ... and I just love Meredith and Derek.
So with much anticipation and excitement I am currently downloading last nights US 2 hour finale ...

Will they reunite? Will we get more McDreamy McLoving? Will they get shot of that annoying Rose? I certainly hope so!!!

Technology ... grr!!

Still trying to get to grips with the new style UKS, am not liking the new way we have to chat on our team - it is all back to front and you don't get email notifications ....

Anyway, have finished the LO for the weekly challenge that my team The Slinky Pink Scrappers is setting in a few weeks, here is it; Got to take E to nursery in a bit, then going to chill. (He is currently trying to strangle himself as he likes the sound it makes when he tries to cough ... it is freaking me out as sounds like he has croup!!).

OK, TTFN

Ant attack

I discovered an invasion of ants marching up and down my hall last night. Despite much midnight dyson-ing and a nightmare about cockroaches, they were still there this morning. So an emergency strategy, other than a jam jar of sugar water was called for! After many bottles of ant killer were purchased (dam those little sods on my brand new beige carpet!!), E and I had a little shopping trip and fun of our own.

He has been so good and lovely and yummy and cute recently, adjusting really well to my new job, that I decided he needed a little treat. He has also been hankering for Bee Movie for a while now, plus I haven't seen it, so he got to pick that. Then he picked out a little outfit for himself (thankfully he seems to have decent taste in clothes) he looked so grown up, carrying his own shopping bag. After a little more shopping, where he managed to wangle a few toys, we headed out for a scrummy dinner. He was really well behaved and great company, plus he ate loads of his dinner. He also took great pleasure in charming and entertaining our fellow diners, while i slurped on a glass of wine!!

All in all it was a great afternoon/evening - and to top it all off, I seem to have nuked all the ants .. so fingers crossed they wont make a reappearance!

Busy bee

Oh what a busy day E and I have had... but I am v tired now. Monday is my laundry day, so I was up bright and early, although i couldn't really sleep last night as had lots of strange dreams about Ethan. Then had to get him ready for nursery as he was having lunch there today while I went to work for a few hours. Then we went to Asda, stopping off at the park on the way home. E fell over and scrapped his leg, so he was v upset, he also scrapped the palm of his hand ( i remember just how much that used to nip!), but thanks to a special lolly he was fine. These lolly's are great - Jay discovered them because of her diabetes, so they are sugar free and v tasty, the perfect treat!

E is in the bath, so I have just run around with the hoover, changed the beds and finished off my ironing!!

I want to do some scrapping tonight, as I brought home lots of lovely goodies from work (well if i didn't take advantage of my 20% discount it would be silly!). I'm working again tomorrow, it is so much fun and I have the perfect outlet for my OCD... keeping the patterned paper trays in order, and the ribbons in colour sequence. I keep giving all the customers the evil eye... just in case they mess up my new system!!.

Hopefully my new phone will come tomorrow, but what are the chances they will come when i am at work!? Oh and my aunt should be bringing Ethan's new scooter up, so more scrapped knees, oh dear!

Oh i do like to be beside the seaside ....

Oh I do like to be beside the sea....

Yep, you've guessed it E and I have been playing down at the beach again!! Here are some pics; My UKS team is doing the weekly challenge in a few weeks - so I need to get cracking on my example. Hopefully my little bunny will be tired out as I also want to get cracking on this 12 week challenge over on Two Peas, plus I need to finish my first entry on the Shimelle Journal as the 25th is soon approaching!! (I am also sooooooooooo way behind on my A to Z Journal of me it is silly ... I last did my D entry, think they are probably on F by now!).

Anyway, all is good here. Plus my bro is back on Monday, I've really missed him, but he is coming round on Thursday to show me how to use my new phone. Plus I should have some stash and some new photos coming tomorrow, so I am a happy bunny!

Brandon's got talent!

My little cousin Brandon is a drummer, so what you say, well he is only 6 and he is actually really good. Here is his Britain's Got Talent audition tape.

We were hoping he would be on last Saturday, as the producers phoned my aunt. We all sat watching in anticipation, I even let E say up late, but he wasn't on. But hopefully he will be on in the next few weeks, otherwise Brandon is going to be really disappointed, as I think he has told his whole school, bless! So keep watching!

I just love his skinny little arms, so cute!!

Kiddy chatter ....

E has been chattering away in the bath ... singing to himself all about 'indy and the jones'.

He has a new passion along with the newly discovered Dr Who and Tom and Jerry. Ethan is now a big fan of Indiana Jones, so he is very keen to see the new installment out at the cinema soon. He particularly enjoyed the bits in the old films with all the spiders and skeletons!

Here are also some pics of a LO I was working on the other day. Despite the fact that I look so fat in the photo (i know, i know, I had just given birth!!), I am now starting to like it because of all the emotion it stirs in me.
Am now thinking of what to work on next... I have so much inspiration right now, working with all the fabric and seeing all the different stock at work, my mind is buzzing with ideas!!
Also just researching my new laptop, as I am hoping to get it in a few weeks. Have got my brother on the case, even tho he is off-shore, he is still my IT department (LOL) don't know what I would do without him!
