disaster................
FUN...did I say FUN.....
We arrived and set up which took ages as we weren't sure how we were going to do the seats to sleep...Wayne wanted to sleep downstairs so we decided to store all the gear upstairs to create more room downstairs...then he changed his mind and was crying as I said it was too late...
The rain was lashing down and the wind howling but the roof was ok x
Wayne went to sleep and we sat chatting and about 11pm thought we'd crash...that's when the real fun began.....
Wayne was sick...everywhere...we found a bowl for him and had to chuck the sleeping bag outside..and his pjs...got him changed and we all settled down again...hoping that was the end of it....noooooo...he continued to be sick regularly all night...I had to keep running to the toilets to wash the bowl out and throw clothes out of the van..and blankets...and it was still pissing it down...then at 5am he had the runs in his sleep...omg....it was horrendous.....got him cleaned up and we all crashed til 10am...shattered and smelly.
When we got up we cleaned what we could and had some brekkie, Wayne was sleeping and we thought we'd hold out to see how he was...well kids do bounce back quickly...I had a shower and we chatted to other bongo owners....then Wayne wanted to go for a walk and had a half hour burst of being ok.....then he crashed out again...by this time I'd seen the real state of the van so we decided to head home. The thought of sleeping in the van again smelling like that...urghhh...plus Wayne was in no fit state.....
Came home and washed the van and been washing ever since...sleeping bags...blankets...clothes...
Last night I felt ropey and yep I was sick....had a bad night but feel much better today
So a bit of a disaster of a weekend..and Wayne announced he didn't want to go in the bongo ever again...he thinks it was the bongo that made him sick.....sigh
But not to be defeated I am looking at going to haven next weekend...if we're ok!! and hopefully we can have more success....well it couldn't be any worse lol

washing bags and bags under eyes!
Today was sunny so I washed the other 2 bags in the bath! Must be mad lol
Had a good day and went to pili palas, shel joined us with her new hairdo...she looks fab...makes me want to cut mine...but then I remember how when I ever cut it I just regret and want to grow it again...could do with a trim though..been a few years lol
Tonight I have been trying to think what we need for our first bongo trip on Friday and I have not a clue...by the look of the forecast wellies, waterproofs and tissues for our snotty noses!! At least we have a fan heater to keep us warm! And Ron says there's a chippy down the road...IF it's open...
Had a reply about a variation from cssiw and questions about home ed again..sigh..it has nothing to do with my work...and it is nothing to do with them how I home ed...although I do understand where they're coming from in one way as like most they think I should have Wayne sat at a desk from 9 til 3...no the words 'autonomous' makes me realise though I perhaps need to record more...but why should I???? arghhh
I'm even thinking of not sending a council letter I've done complaining about lack of funding for ncma on anglesey....think kepping a low profile may be better..there's enough busy bodies in my life
Anyway enough about that.......
I am shattered was up half the night with Wayne not well...he's a lot better today...as they are...hoping we don't have a repeat tonight as I feel like I could fall asleep on the spot...and I want to sleep allll night...bless him though xx can't be helped....

amazing 2 blogs in 2 days lol
Today was a funny one...some went early...had some extra...and lots slept....
Ron is home with manflu...sigh...you know the one I've had for 3 weeks and still worked and cooked and...oh no...sorry i've just had a cold lol
I left Wayne with Ron while I ferried kids and went to the bank.
This morning I washed my sleeping bag in the bath...ready for the weekend...as it was a bit musty after being in the garage...what a good idea...washing it on a wet day...I hung it on the line and it threw it down all day and by tea time it was on the floor...sigh...so it's now on a radiator with a mop at hand to keep mopping up the water...I don't half make work for myself lol No matter though...hopefully it will be dry for Friday...like the weathers not going to be according to the forecast! And the way we're all sniffling....sigh sigh sigh..Wayne seems to have gone worse again tonight...
We read a postman pat book at bedtime...Waynes been watching the new one on bbc2...oh they know what they're doing...lol....new helicopter, bike, train and van!!! and pat's got sat nav and a mobile...whatever is the world coming too...and all just before chrimbo...hmmmm
Anyway it was an alphabet book and I was amazed how many letters Wayne knew...I never really test him we just learn whatever he wants...and it's times like tonight when you go wow xx He still puts his numbers back to front though...like if it's 12...he'll say 21....
We always have a cuddle after stories and a chat and we were talking about being off half term...I asked Wayne what he wants to do with the 3 days we have...the other days are accounted for.. bimbamboozle at penrhyn and haven...and his reply was
move his postman pat poster
find his lost spiderman figure
watch postman pat
I said don't you want to go anywhere? and he said
Yes we need to go out and collect rubbish and bring it back to make something (he has a bag he puts any shiny choccie wrappers in he's saving to make something)
So he's easy pleased then...

I'm getting crap at this.....
Cor I really am getting crap at this lol
In the last few days we've played...had fun....oh it's too long to remember!
The weekend we had another birthday party. I've been to the hall. I've cleaned the house from top to bottom. I've worked lots....and was gutted at my 'not first weekend off'
I am sat with hair dye on my head...henna ...so it looks and feels like cowpats on my head...what a nice picture I'm painting lol
Got our first bongo bash next weekend...hope to god it's not torrential rain and wind...lol.....with my luck huh...no matter we shall go and have fun....got to be back for work on sunday at 10am..should be fun!
While I'm typing Wayne is sat here watching art attack and telling me how the activities would be good for the kids to learn stuff x think that may be a hint, we tend to do less crafty stuff in the summer and loads in the winter....
I've been doing a file for Wayne..I keep a running one of his work but had 3 folders from 2005/06 which needed organising and putting into plastic pockets...Wayne had forgotten he'd done them...nice looking through them xx
Wayne was getting stick the other day from a kid about not going to school and he proudly announced he was learning at home and learns about life and stuff ...bless x so true though...and he's still happy at home and learning ..without realsing...he thinks he just has fun...well he does...but...well I know what I mean!! Someone has to lol

Today we went to jumpin jacks, had lunch in tescos and played lots.
The sun has been shining all day...yehhh
I'm still coughing....nooooo
Shel and I were sat admiring skinny gals in the pool and saying how we wished we were like that...then we started rofl as she was dipping a crunchie in her tea...and I was scoffing chips!! There may be a solution lol...I was telling Ron and he said that I couldn't expect to have a figure of a 20 year old when I'm knocking 40...oh thanks pal....not oh but you're beautiful as you are...charming lol
Tonight we have wrapped pressies and done cards, got a birthday tomorrow and Monday and next Sunday...and a christening this Sunday!!
I'm off tomoz... but off in the morning to grans as R is going back to America Sunday and it will be the last chance to see her...then gotta be back for a party at 3....some day off...hardly a lazy day that Wayne keeps asking for x bless
He was upset I'd gone to the meeting last night and found a car like mine in his car box and said he'd made a story with it last night and he was in the boot so he could be with me xxx bless him xxx
Never mind from next weekend I'll have every other weekend off, so a bit more quality time with him...and hopefully some bongoing lol...already booked for the welsh bongo bash...it's only in Caernarfon...can't wait xxx mind you it's getting a bit cold at night....sure we'll be fine xx

weekend
Yesterday worked til 2 then off in the camper...first drive...ooohhh....got fuel and air in tyres and it was fab...I can even reverse it better than the zafira lol
Went to see bro then for a pub meal then to see bro in law........
Today we had a lazy day...well the men did lol I hoovered, washed, cleaned, then we went to meet folks, picked up bro on the way and went for a pub meal to welcome R from America...she's here for a few weeks staying with great gran...had a nice time and Wayne was shy!!!! hilarious....
Getting very excited as dad can make me a hook up for electric so I can go in the camper in the cold and have tea...yehhhh....we've just thought though.....how to we get the cable in the van when it's all shut up!! sure we'll find a way....
Got a dilemma now, due to pay balance on haven holiday from the sun...but wondering if to just wave bye bye to the £38 I've paid up to now and just go in the camper...as I'm dying to go in it....and it's nearly as big as the chalets!!! that's only cos the chalets are small lol....and we could go at the beginning of half term instead of the end...which isn't ideal....oooh the dilemma.....

We didn't venture out til late moring and went to get a key cut for the bongo...doesn't work though!!! and tax...I decided to hell with it and it would mean I could go to my mates party with Wayne..not stay too late and kip in bongo....being as Daddy is going out and apparently he was asked first so tough shit to me!! Like I said though...when the hell do I go out ...my mate will only be forty once!!!!....anyway it was a waste of an arguement as tonight I was checking the calendar for something and saw that I'm working the sunday morning after the party so can't go anyway.....oh well glad in a way as the bongo can be driven legally now yehhhhh....
We had lunch in a cafe and had comments on how good the children were...nice xx

banging on about the bongo!
Yesterday....I can't remember what we did lol....oh yes I do we went to the bank....to put money in this time!! to the library which was a disaster with a 10 month old who likes to climb...and throw books everywhere lol
In the evening I went to a 70th birthday party, it was really nice and saw my mate s there and had a catch up ..and she wants to come to he hall with me...also saw an old teacher who's daughter I was mates with in primary...
Home and the first thing Ron said was...P says you need to get a life....bloddy charming...at least I'm not stuck in the eighties trying to relive my youth...I have a nice life thank you very much....which is getting better....ha ha yeh back to bongo!
I got my insurance today with revised reg number sigh...but still couldn't get tax...cheques not cleared and no pay today..and baby slept too long for us to go anyway.....but hey no hurry I'm not intending on shoving kids in it and driving off until I've had a go in it...it's a bit bigger than what I'm used to...and automatic...so need to do a lone run..which may happen this weekend..being as I'm finishing early...as long as I can get the tax tomorrow....
Mind you me and Wayne have been cleaning it, bit of a doggy smell...not bad but we've cleaned all the plastic and the carpet and the roof bit...and hopefully doing the seats at the weekend if it's sunny...and tonight the mindees played in it lol...and had a picnic in it!!!! So it's of use untaxed and we can get it all shiny ready for us to go away in...I'm wondering whether to hang on to the zafira....I've asked about carseat covers and we're going to see if they can be done...if not I don't fancy sleeping on seats where kids have peed...cos they do...and the covers I have now are ace...but if I can't get them...we'll see...and of course dosh!!
Anyway today we went to pili palas and had a fab time.....
I'm shattered after last night...and the chinese meal was lovely but as usual I end up bloated..and this morning threw up...sigh...must be nice to eat what you like....I tried to be careful but............

what a day and no bongo!!!
What a day.....
The plan was to go get money for the bongo and collect it tonight....sigh....failed
Spent ages on the phone to insurance...they phoned me thank goodness....then got an enquiry for an as and when school pick up...and was so flustered had to tell her I'd phone her back as the kids were steadily wrecking the house....
Went to bank and there's a limit on daily withdrawls...thought I'd be ok in Bangor!! In there for ages with kids getting fed up and running about...transferring money and messing about...and to come out with not enough and have to go back tomorrow.
Went from there to Pili Palas....and they had a whale of a time and we met H and A with Dad....and I felt better as I'd been busy this morning and could spend quality time with them having fun...although Wayne got cross when I kept beating him in a race on the bouncy castle lol...and then wailed....
Home and outside to play in the sunshine.....YES SUNSHINE...love it when the kids go back...the weather gets better x
Then Wayne cut his lip on the see saw...he was bleeding badly for a bit...I rang the docs as I couldn't see for the blood what he'd done...took him there and sat for ages (now I know why I never go to the drs) by the time he saw him it had stopped bleeding and you could see it was just a big cut on his lip ...no broken teeth or anything...so bit of a waste of time...Wayne looks bad though bless him and couldn't eat tea...but made up for it at suppertime by eating a penguin, a bowl of tuna and 4 pieces of toast!!
And the other good thing today was a man gave me a free parking pass for the car park.
And the bad thing is we didn't get the bongo...but watch this space,,,hopefully tomorrow...or do I not speak too soon!!!
I'm off to email my mates with kiddies starting school tomorrow...poor mites.xx

hacked off
Probably shouldn't be blogging at the mo as I'm feeling fed up...not like me x
Had a lovely day at penrhyn, met shel and family..K and J and we had a great day...Ron was supposed to be coming but went fishing...and had a great time..and is now no doubt drunk with his mates...
I had a very embarassing rib popping moment...right in the middle of punch and judy...with K filming it...so the comments on the vid will be...what's wrong? u OK? I fell flat on the deck and couldn't scream with the pain...oh so embarassing...got some funny looks...when I told Ron he didn't even ask if I was ok...just droned on about fish....I sometimes wonder if he cares at all
I understand him wanting to spend time with mates....but not that he doesn't want to spend time with us...and doesn't seem to give a f**k
I've had two days of Wayne asking why daddy won't come with us...what do you say!!!???!!!!
I thought after past experience with his kids and doing fun things he would be a great dad who wanted to do stuff with his kids...but obviously it suited him better to just have fun at weekends...with me organising...whereas now it's 24/7...well for me.....
See said I shouldn't be blogging....but I'm well hacked off.....
Oh well new floor tomorrow....got to be up early!!!! oh no.................

the fairys have been lol
Today we had a morning of play then Ron and Wayne started painting the front room..
In the afternoon I took the kids to pili palas...and Ron was like a little fairy lol and when we got back the room was finished...yehhhh....well skirtings need to be done and carpet removed...but it doesn't seem such a big job anymore...and with me only having 5 days off I wasn't looking forward to spending them painting x the only other thing we need to do is remove the rest of the furniture for Friday when the floor comes....
Trouble is we've started with the ....furniture rearranging.....you know when you want a room to look good and it means distributing furniture to other rooms and making them look crap and overcrowded....we must get rid of something to avoid that lol
Pili palas was good but busy and gave me a headache....and when we arrived the aa man was there...my aa man lol...and we had to park in mud...I wondered whether to ask him to wait for us leaving ...incase we needed towing again!! Thankfully we were ok...but my cars full of mud again!!! Although tomorrrow I am removing all the car seats and making it into a 'normal' car for a few days...small things lol!!!
The police went to grans today, thankfully all was ok last night, the council will be called tomorrow to check if it was ligit...but bank hol...sunday morning...me thinks not....hopefully it will stop gran from letting anyone in again...and Rons got her a chain for the door....
So I am now off for 5 days...did I say that lol....bliss....we are thinking of camping but waiting for the weather...llanberis failed today as it was like autumn this morning!! I want to take Wayne to Bimbams theatre..which is inside so ok....time will tell...but for tonight I am going to have a beer and collapse xx

And I saw lots of peeps I knew so lots of chatting xx
Home to play and when the twins had gone we set about emptying the front room for the painting and floor..Wayne and I were going to paint tonight...but no brushes..WHAT....
We removed some of the furniture...and I put the pc in the playroom...and tried to get online with the extension...for nearly 2 hours...I'm back in the front room...the broadband will only work from the incoming bt socket...argghhh...cos that means I can't even move the desk in the room as the leads aren't long enough....there must be a solution??!!??
Anyway the house is looking almost tidy...we're trying to distribute the furntiure around the house and not be falling over it lol
Rons gone to a party ...again...and I'm of to the hall tomoz with my mate...can't wait
Oh and Ron was hoping to get his quad going for tonight but failed...he was going to try and get a scooter he was offered...but the people are away thank goodness...he'd only of spent the money for it to be trashed tonight..MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice day at the farm...
Today we went to foel farm and had a great day, we even saw sunshine...yehhh
We stopped at the peru shop on the way as one was asleep, he still didn't have what I wanted, but he gave Wayne a finger puppet xx
At foel did the usual stuff and the kids loved it...although baby o was a bit startled by the quad ride...but no crying ..so think he liked it
We had a treat and ate in the cafe and got some choccies from the choccy shop on the way out for the kids and their mum....she's had a bad week so thought she'd appreciate them x
Home and then off for family swim...free....forgot Waynes armbands (not on purpose) so he wouldn't go in the big pool despite having a noodle and float and being capable of swimming in the little pool with them ...sigh! So we gave up after half an hour...mind you he was tired too so that didn't help...
Went from there to the Valley Hotel for a meal and Wayne played outside in the play area...the meal wasn't as good as usual which was shame...
Home and Wayne's shattered...and me....and work tomorrow...boooo

Today we went to Penrhyn...again...to see Mr Bimbam...again...and it was fab...again
Met K and J and did the trail...or should I say sprint after the kids!!!
The railway man looked after my heavy bags while we walked round then we settled in our corner to watch the show and have our picnic x
We hardly saw any rain ...yehhhh....
It was a pirate funday...so we got dressed up...me first to encourage the kids...make the mums laugh...shock the postman...and get strange looks on the A55...well a pirate driving a car with 3 little pirates inside...lol
J had a great day, he helped Mr B and won the fancy dress xxxx
Home to clean and hoover as we've got littlies tomorrow..and the boys had made a car out of a big cardboard box...using forks as I wouldn't give them scissors....the floors were covered in bits of shredded cardboard!!
Here's 2 of the pirates......................

fed up of this rain now!!
Even I'm getting fed up with this bloody rain now...and feeling fed up generally...
Saying that had a good day with old school friend D and her kids at greenwood, saw 3 shows, a magician (not as good as bimbam according to Wayne), a pirate who started the show with black hair then ended up bald and got out of a sack!! and some clown....forget his name...and they got 3 men up to dress up as tina turner, shirley bassey and diana ross and mime to songs...hilarious!!
Did the coaster, sledges, bouncer, boats , maze...well everything really, even bought them an ice cream and let them go on the tractors!!
Back for quote for front room...the wood I'd picked would be £500...the most expensive in the shop...lol... so off tomoz to find a cheaper alternative....he said they had cheaper ones but still with 15 year guarantee...like we'll still be here then lol...mind you think this is the longest house yet...nearly 4 years up to now!
Folks for tea and I'm finishing an album for leaver on Thurs....and it's still bloody raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not bloggable!
Quiet morning...no kids...but phone call with one mum...not bloggable...then mindee came and K and J came over to play.
I had a text about a mindee who was seeing a specialist and not good news...again not bloggable...I was in tears and lucky k was here x
You're not supposed to get emotionally involved with kids, but how can't you when you spend so much time with them and watch them develop...or perhaps it's just me...big old softee
Anyway tonight I did an album for summer mindee who's leaving on thursday, so that was nice, looking at the fun we've been having, and hoping to add some more to it tomorrow as we're going to the greenwood centre...if this persistent rain stops persisting it down!!
Anyway I'm in no mood for this...I'm off x

I Will Survive (the first year of homeschooling) *Or* any year homeschooling.

Mercilessly altered with apologies by Natalie Criss
First I was afraid
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never teach
´Cause I´m not certified.
But we spent so many nights
Reteaching homework that was wrong.
I grew strong, so now I teach my kids at home!
We study maths and outer space.
I just kept on despite the fear with a big smile across my face.
I bought a set of Base Ten blocks.
I bought books with answer keys.
My parents think we´re nuts, but they don´t even bother me
Come on, let´s go walk out the door.
We´re on the road now, ’cause we´re not home much anymore
My friends would laugh and say we´d be unsocialized.
I heard one mumble that I´d give up by July.
Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to read
I know we´ll be alright.
I’ve got all my life to learn.
I’ve got energy to burn.
and I’ll survive.
I will survive.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Decided to attend a play date at the local park,
and I met oh so many mums who offered eagerly to help.
They used to cry.
Now they hold their heads up high, and so do we!
My kids are cool!
They´re not those chained up little people stuck inside at school.
So if you feel like dropping by and just expect us to be free
you´d better call ahead first ´cause we´re probably busy!

lazy day
Today we had a lazy day...
We learnt how to do 3 magic tricks..which were impressive...I'm not even sure how they work!?!?!
We played lots of card games
I built my storage chest
Did loads of washing!!
And basically did whatever Wayne wanted xx nice
Ron has gone to a 40th party and me and Wayne have had a nice evening and now he's gone to bed so I'm going to see if I can find a soppy film!!
That's after I've done a bit of surfing .... and tonight I'm off to look at laminate ...as I think... (if I can afford it) ..I will do the front room when we're off...we may not get a chance again for a while as we will have to take all the furniture out and put it somewhere??? and with me childminding its going to have to be done when we're off...otherwise the house will be a health hazard with cupboards in the hallway!!!

summer holiday curriculum is magic and puppetry!
Went outside this morning and there was water all round the back...just at one side ...and it hadn't rained...ehh?? Did a bit of detective work and the bath waste pipe has come off...how??? who knows?? you can't get to it as the kids garage is in front of it (6 x 6 shed) so there's a job for tomoz!! Couldn't move it on my own even with my muscles lol
Took mindees to palas, then back early for them to go and us to go to Bodnant for Alice in Wonderland....bit of a disaster as we were late due to traffic!! so didn't get a good spot and could hardly see the first half...moved for the second and it was much better...but Wayne just didn't get into it and kept going on about the ice cream I'd promised (I never buy ice creams with mindees so big treat lol)
It was sunny though and we lay on the rug and enjoyed ourselves x
Went for ice cream and he picked cornetto....hey kid go for the dearest in the kiosk...make the most of it!!
Then on to a nearby pub for tea...with a play area...Wayne had a fab time going down slides and playing in the ballpool...had a nice meal then home late...shattered...well I am...Wayne slept on the way to Bodnant!!
Been googling Punch and Judy stuff and looking at Mr Bimbams site tonight...being as Wayne is so crazy about it all at the moment thought I'd stick it in the curriculum....learning magic and puppetry...is that in the curriculum lol We've got the magic book out from Usbourne and I've printed loads of stuff...so guess what we'll be doing on our lazy day tomorrow??!!??
It was really nice to have a bit of time just Wayne and I tonight...

monster funday
Today we started quiet..2 down due to holidays so just 3 of us...went to bank....got some strawberries then off for a Monster Fun Day at Penrhyn...it was great...all the staff now know me....the kids zoomed in on Mr B and harassed him lol but he didn't seem to mind x
I managed to drag them away from him to go round the castle and we bought a book to do a quiz and a bit of history...ooh and it's the summer hols and they're still learning lol...we also did the playground...but apart from that most of the time was spent in the marquee with Mr B and doing colouring...and I bought a great bumbag with mega pockets for a quid!! They did the games...for free...as we are fixtures and fittings!!
The highlight was Wayne helping Mr B for the first time...he was so chuffed...and even spoke on the phone to tell the folks xx
It was a good day for me too..the shows are an hour long so I had 2 hours sat watching happy faces xxx
As we were leaving they were doing little train rides so they went on that...loved it x and the guy there commented on my bags and asked where my camel was...well these bloody weather reports keep saying rain so we were well equipped...and the sun shone all day ....so we were stripped off with me carrying!! Anyway..as he knows me !!!he offered for us to store our stuff next time in his shed....omg I am going there too much...lol....handy though...although i did question whether he'd eat our picnic lol
We left to byeee see you next week...ha ha ...they will and it's pirates so we're all dressing up...well I am...see how the kids feel
Home late for tea and I ...for some bizarre reason... decided to hoover the car...well it was like a gravel drive inside...then when it looked beautiful decided the outside needed a proper wash...not just a hose down...and Wayne joined me and washed daddies car....telling me how he was a servant...lol....see the history went in...and Wayne has said he does NOT want to be a servant...much tooo hard work
Tesco came at 9pm so we have food...which is handy as me and Wayne are off to Bodnant tomorrow and having a pub tea and leaving Ron to it...so at least he's got lots of goodies.....I'm working til 2 then it's Alice in Wonderland at 3...and a bit of me and Wayne time...can't wait xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

couldn't resist a free ticket!
This morning we got up ...and went to the show again...first picking up free tickets from K..left in a butty box on her drive. She'd phoned me last night to say she had one and they were going early to show the sheep so couldn't drop it off....the kids wondered what on earth I was doing!!
It was great though as they kindly let me leave my picnic rucksack in the pen so saved my back too x
Had a fab day...hardly any rain...and as we'd been yesterday knew where to go...and where we hadn't been!
Watched a few of the judgings...sheep, cows, pigs. K got 1st and 2nd...sadly the lamb that her ds was showing had died last night...they told him it was ill...he's only 4 x
Found some bargain trampolines...£1 a go...and did the bouncy castles again.....but the limit today was 2 again...the bouncy was £2.50 each....lot of money for 10 mins!! We did lots of free things though...fabric painting a bag...colouring, making a mask...saw the knights again. I bought more of those blocks as they are ace...and a dress for me!! A dress!!! well it's like a trouser dress....walked miles!!! and splashed in mud and puddles....ha ha and I got stuck again this morning...think it must be my driving!! Got out ok though...and left earlier today as we were all shattered....2 days in a row is hard going....
Be glad to go and see Mr Bimbam tomorrow and have a sit down!!
Mind you I'm sick of picnics!!!!! And I dropped my new flask yesterday and it shattered...sigh...I knew it would sooner or later...was hoping it would be later lol
I cleaned the car...again... tonight...only outside....no energy lol
I was just going to do a bit more of my transferring camcorder tapes and the bloody things packed in again....arghhhhhhh Perhaps it's a sign...I need to go to bed...I'm shattered..................

anglesey show
Woke up to torrential rain...but that wasn't going to stop us lol
We didn't get there til lunchtime as we were picking up shel and she had to feed baby...
We queued for ages to get in...then the car was slding everywhere and skidding...just wouldn't go up the slope with all our weight!! so eventually they let us park lower down...
Had a picnic in the car as it was time for shel to feed again..and it made the bags lighter!!
We did the usual wandering round the stalls...spending lots of time in the craft tents...
Kids did painting, colouring and went on the fun bus and bouncy castle...a scooby doo one no less lol
Bought some blocks..not sure what they're called but great fun...and I got a hair thing which was extremely expensive but fab!
Went round the livestock and the best thing about the whole day for the kids was the mud...it was deep...and the puddles were great fun...lol Apart from some idiot had gone in her crocs...er yeh me...squelchy mud in my toes...urghh took ages to wash out!
The end of the day was jousting with the Knights of the Damned...they were fab and the kids loved it x
Managed to get out of the show quite handy with no skidding...yehhh....dropped off Wayne as folks were here and we were late!! Then took mindee and shel home
Came home and de mudded everything....and now I want to collapse...but going to look at pics first x
Oh and the rain eased off and it was a beautiful day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Today was a usual day off...clean...hoover...wash...watch washing blow off the line!! But the sun was shining so no complaints.
Ron cut the grass and hedges and i put mirror stick on tiles in the bathroom...which look good ...but were for Wayne to have a low down mirror to clean his teeth...and they just aren't mirrory enough...sigh
I also worked out the dvd recorder and recorded 4 dvds...still going....I've worked out how many I need wrong though....my camcorder tapes are on lp...so well need double!! It's going to take forever to do them all! And when i tried to play one on the pc it didn't work...so need to find out why??????
Been planning with shel for Anglesey Show...hope its not too wet and muddy like last year...not looked at forecast....we're going whatever so who cares! Although just looked at the schedule and the Jousting...which I was looking forward to... is on at 4.45....seems late..probaly to keep people there longer....so just texted shel again to see if it's not too late for her...as she's coming with me x
Oh and my hair is ginger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg I was hallucinating...back to the real world!
Torrential rain today...I took Wayne to mums and kids to Bangor...but they fell asleep...sigh...so i went to look at some cars...hoping to find a bongo...didn't...then sat outside comet waiting for them to wake up!
When they finaly woke up we went in and got soaked..and we only walked a few metres!!
I grabbed a nice man and got him to tell me all about the dvd recorders...and got a really cheap one....I decided I may as well get one as our dvd player is dodgy to say the least and that way I can transfer all my camcorder tapes myself...save Dad a job x
Went from there for lunch in tesco and ended up spending £50....not in the cafe lol
I had a 'stand back in amazement' moment there...I asked for a portion of chips and 2 sausages in the cafe...and was told the sausages were for kids meals...so I asked if they had sausages for adults meal and they said no they could only sell me a sausage as a kids meal and I could have one if I really wanted for £1.50 (price of a kids meal) WHAT???? who made that one up....I had chips! Usually i'd of stomped off to customer service but couldn't be arsed...and I was wet and cold...they may get a letter though....honestly....Oh and apparently if I'd have been there half an hour earlier I could of had an ADULT sausage as part of breakfast...so that must mean at 11.30 the adult sausages change to kids sausages...but what if they were cooked before 11.30....wouldn't they still be adult sausages....wish I'd have thought of that while I was there
Anyway I got a label machine which I really need!!! pot pourri and a smelly candle...and a timer...sorry chicken timer...well it was cute....be good for time out if I ever need it lol
Home and Ron and I went to the Hall ...been ages...and they had reflexology at half price this weekend..but no slots left ...sigh...had a swim steam and jacuzzi and went for pub grub, picked up Wayne and home...late
I'd mixed my henna this morning so had to do it tonight, so I'm sat with a big bag of smelly poo...Waynes words...on my head.....and a frog shower cap...so no pics tonight lol....what a way to spend a saturday night...

am I hallucinating!!??!!
I haven't seen a drop of rain today.....forgotten what sunshine was!!
We went to pili palas at Waynes request...with a detour to look at some big cars....and campers....still doing my research and found out last night that the bongo does...I've forgotten...but not much to the gallon....but really I need to sell the zafira...that's not paid for yet....to get funds for camper...so need it to be somewhat economical....probably doesn't exist....I'll keep looking....
Ron had a go at me...thinks I'm nuts.....hang on....I want to get a vehicle for work (earn money)and play for us all!! he has a quad that is still not running.....a trailer and towbar had to be bought for the quad...that's still not running....he's got a car and a motorbike...which he hardly uses due to having a works van...and he wants a harley....which like the quad and motorbike he already has...is of diddly squat use to us as a family...oh apart from Wayne may want to go on the quad...although he says he doesn't...lucky really as it's not running...did I say that lol...rant over
Anyway we had a good day ...no rain...popped to mums and wayne did potting with mum...
Tonight we went for the free family swim...and chinese on the way back....defeating the object once again...but who cares it was yummy.....
And got Wayne a float there...cheaper than ebay.. and he swam without armbands....for a bit...must try and forget them so he has no choice...but think I'll let him build his confidence a bit first x

I love rain...no choice really!
Today Shel came over and despite another day of rain we headed for Penrhyn to see Mr B...it was torrential on the way...even I felt like just giving in...but hey we got near the castle and the sky was whitening!! and we managed to do the long walk up without getting tooo wet...mass of brollys lol
Headed straight for the marquee where Mr B was and set up the blanket and picnic and the kids watched the show...and we were dry yehhhh
Mr B was good as per and played with the kids when he'd finished...xx.....the rain stopped and we headed for the gardens...not easy with prams...although mine was just carrying grub!!
The kids loved the big rhubarb and the ponds...got some ace pics of them all..I had 4 today.....went back to see the second show and 3 of ours were involved in the magic..Wayne was gutted he wasn't!! Must have a quiet word with Mr B..although I think he's noticed how shy Wayne is...probably why he doesn't pick him...funny really Shel was saying how confident Wayne was shouting out etc and going sitting on his own...probably cos he knows Mr B now....oh and probably why he announced his age yesterday lol...I'm still upset rofl
Anyway home and washing and tea....and I'm late blogging as I've been looking at campers...sigh...I have a bee in my bonnet and Ron knows the signs....
I really need to go and find a float for Wayne on ebay....well check out the price...
Not even been on facebook....and I haven't even started researching insurance mpg etc! But have found out you can get an awning...now how handy would that be x

rain will not stop play lol
Getting to be a bit of a pattern this...get up...grand plans...see rain...boo...but go out and have fun anyway..lol
Bodnant gardens today for King Arthur and the knights of the round table....we were going with clas but it was cancelled due to rain...boys said booo...so I phoned bodnant and they said it would go on come hell or highwater...so thought sod it...off we went..with a stop in Bangor for bank and to get Wayne a raincoat as i couldn't find his....still not found it!!
We arrived and the weather was ok and stayed like that until 20 minutes before it finished and it peeeeeeed it down....but it mattered not, we had brollys and waterproofs and the show went on, they were fab x
We also wandered round the gardens a bit and mindee fell in a stream...sigh....but he was ok...good old wellys
Had a really good day.....we were all shattered....especially me...must blog the pic of my load...try the words cart and horse....took the brollys and 3 folding chairs as well as the usual bag of grub...sorry scooby snacks...and for the first time ever I ran out of food!!!! Must have been all the running round the gardens making them hungry!
And nearly forgot...with no clas we had to pay...the woman asked how old the boys were and Wayne proudly announced he was five and cost me an extra £3.25....
Ah well Mr B tomorrow in Penrhyn and got free tickets...and I got a new flask today......although just found out its a shatter one...so probably won't last long...but got 2 cups...so shel will be ok...think I'll fill the other one to keep in the car!!
My neck hurts!!!
Oh and in other news my mates just bought a campervan...picking up fri...and I've been on ebay looking...if I could find one that would do for work and play...seen some 8 seaters...but not sure how they'd work for childminding and us gypsying it...lol....watch this space...ha ha ....
Got my henna today and been googling and found tips to improve colour etc...so I may be a strange colour soon...as long as it covers the blooming grey!! Who cares...
Hoping my mirror tiles come soon off ebay...oh no I'm back on there again!! Wayne can have some sort of a mirror in the bathroom then...he can't have one low down so hoping the tiles work!
Ooh just thought autotrader....byeee

wet foel farm....
Today we delayed setting out due to rain....then set off for bank and tesco hoping it would stop...and it did...now and again lol
we went to foel farm and at first it was dry...then it threw it down...but no matter....big brolly inhand and kids that don't care and have fun puddle jumping
Met K who had braved it too....Shel texted me calling me a mad moo...ha ha she knows me then !!
We had a good time though...the bouncy was out of bounds...too risky...but had 2 tractor rids...a quad ride and cuddled lots of bunnies
Home and folks for tea and I decided to get the camcorder out...again....I've tried numerous times to get it working...I've got stacks of tapes but without it working can't watch them...and guess what??? it worked...unbelievable....we watched Waynes 2nd christmas...and folks left late due to it...we then went on to watch Wayne 9 to 15 months..but it got late...and there's lots of looonggg boring bits...ha ha and lots of funny bits
There was one of me dancing....I nearly wet myself it was soooo funny....I was oblivious to the camera..well i think I was....
Just need to work out how to get them onto dvd or pc now before it conks again...Dad said he can get them on dvd with his machine....handy...just hope it holds out!!

country fayre..
Today we went to Pentraeth Country Fayre and it was better than we thought...infact I wish I'd taken the usual butties and flask ...we only expected to be there for a short while...but we stayed a few hours and ended up buying hotdogs...£2 for a bite size hotdog...WHAT!!! Oh well we enjoyed it and I've put it all on expenses lol
We had a tractor ride...very bumpy...great....the kids went on the bouncy castle and Mr Bimbamboozle was there...yehhhh...he must be sick of us!! We left as the samba band were playing...shame....but tired kids so had to x
Popped to Nains and I sat outside watching them sleep while Ron and Wayne went in...my m i law said people would think I wasn't allowed in ...lol.....they brought me tea and butties though....spolit x
3 old fellas passed and chatted to me....one had a 14lb weight in his hand...he said it was so he wouldn't run...lol...he looked like he was lucky he could walk...bless him
Some old guy at the fair stopped me to ask if the kids were twins...er yeh...what's it got to do with you??? Apparently he was a twin...do I need to know???
Oh and ha ha ha...Ron and I were just talking about it and he said you know why you attract all these old guys don't you...NOOOOO...it's your grey hair....bas*ard....I moved a mirror into bright light earlier to use to beautify myself lol and couldn't believe in full light how much grey I've got...time for the dye me thinks...oh and anyway....how old is Ron??? I'm upset now....lol
Tonight apart from discovering just how grey I am!! We moved the cot up to the attic...I presently have no kids that sleep in a cot...only in prams etc...so I've regained some space ...yehhhh....I had to have 2 so it's made such a difference...
We were going to laminate the front room August bank hol...but decided against it..but thinking now if we did....with all my extra space....oh I am hopeless
It is the last room with carpet though...with a big hole where we cut it out when the bloomin cat sprayed...
I can feel some furniture moving coming on...but don't tell Ron lol
Oh and I just thought I'd look at the dvd player again and it opened!!! But I'm too tired now to start doing pilates!!!!

non eventful day
Bit of a boring day after all the weeks excitement....
Cleaned, washed, changed beds.....blah
Had a go with the cdroms and they're ok......a lot are too far advanced yet for Wayne, but they'll be there for when he's ready for them...had fun with them though
Played some games, Wayne watched too much tv and never got dressed!!
I decided to get the dvd player in here so I can do my pilates in peace when Wayne's gone to bed....first the dvd wouldn't work, wire out of the plug sigh...sorted that and now the player won't open....arghhhh...even with brute force...so I've given up!
We downloaded and printed a load of King Arthur and Knights stuff. That's the play next week at Bodnant so thought I'd do some prepartion....oh and how could i forget, caught up on my accounts and backed it all...I was 2 months behind and hadn't realised tut tut....
So I have a clean house...a clean mind...or should that be a clear mind....and am ready for work again..

nice quiet day....
Today was a bit more sedate.
Quiet hour playing, took Wayne to mums, and mindees to Bangor
Got a bargain brolly for £2.50 and some 2coolforschool cdroms from poundland...am going to try one in a bit and see if they were a bargain!!
Left Bangor and they slept so I sat in the car for an hour and texted Shel
Picked up Wayne and came home and waited for tesco...if he arrived by 5.30 we could go for the free family swim in Holyhead...well free me and Wayne swim as Rons stocktaking!....he arrived at 5.35..and we threw the fridge and freezer stuff and legged it and made it.....
Wayne amazed me he did 12 widths of the big pool in one go...then hopped to the little pool for a play then back to do more widths...think he did about 20 in the end...little star....I did try him without armbands and he went under bless....his little legs will be tired tomorrow x
We came back...via the chinese...hee hee...and there was a horrible smell in the kitchen...I eventually found the source...a tin of cat food punctured and..argghhh...maggots...my next job is to email tesco and play HELL...I can still smell it despite mopping and spraying air freshener...or should I say Wayne mopping....
He gave himself 3 stickers tonight...one for helping with shopping...one for his swimming...and one for mopping...or is that flooding the kitchen lol
I asked him if it should be me giving stickers and he said no...you give them to the other children and I know when I'm good so pick my own from my stickers....not sure if that's a bit of a hint huh....must find some extra special stickers for just him x
He's gone to bed and was flat out in minutes...day off tomoz...and I was sending him to mums but he went today as he'd asked if he could have a lazy day with me xx bless him......
Must go and put these cdroms on as he'll be asking as soon as he gets up!!

Penrhyn Castle was fab today...and 2 shows with Mr Bimbamboozle...yehhhh...he even came over to say hi...to his groupies lol....One of mine was picked to be an assistant and got a wand and a certificate...he was over the moon x
We met K there and we took them round the castle and did a quiz, which kept them amused and out of trouble lol...they were all fighting over who filled in the answers!!
Had a play in the play area and did some knight and castles activities and they put me in the stocks...well I went in myself and they were very amused by me
Also did a colouring competiton and had the usual picnic...which was a bit strange today...lack of supplies..so found in the depths of the cupboard...figs, dates, pineapple rings...to go alongside the usual butties, crisps and yogurts..K was worried about me lol
My legs and back hurt now...must have walked miles with my rucksack and blanket....great day though...and the only time it rained was while we were in the castle......hurrah
Oh and much to K's amusement I...when she arrived i was with mr Bimbamboozle...some old guy in the castle hounded me and was going on about Wayne looking like Owain Glyndwr..with his outfit and hair!! and the train man kept chatting to me....why is it always strange old guys???? lol...not including Mr B...he's fab rofl

guess what?? another corker of a day x
Today we woke up to torrential rain...but not to be deterred we set off with the promise of a lend of a golfing brolly and lots of dry clothes, waterproofs and the usual bag of grub and flask!
By the time we hit Llanfairfechan the sky brightened...and by the time we got to bodnant gardens it was beautiful..and stayed like that...probably cos I walked round with the big brolly all day!! We only had slight drizzle...it was lovely x
The day started with Mark doing magic tricks with my kids, they loved it x and I had to know how it worked lol Then off for a run round the gardens and to watch the play, it was really good and the kids loved it...it started 1.30 and didn't finish til 4...with an interval....it was really good though so looks like we're going back next week for King Arthur...
We got in free as clas were meeting there and I hadn't realised how many there was now....not everyone was there today and there were 19 adults and 23 kids...so plenty of playmates for all xx
Home and back to rain...booo....I'm shattered....Penrhyn Castle tomorrow....

really nice day
Wayne woke up still saying he didn't want to go swimming with vikings??!!
It was such a sunny day and he was glued to tv!! we considered the beach, or somewhere else...then I decided no...we'd go with the original plan...and glad we did too...
We went to the festival first and there was a fairground...arghhh...so we walked round and Wayne chose the ONE ride he was to go on...and it was a bouncy slide...yeh I am tight...but £5 for a few minutes on a ride!!!!
Wandered round and went in the maritime museum which included the air raid shelter...really interesting and Wayne wanted me to read all the stuff...I was telling him about Great grandad, who he never met, being a veteran..and talked to him about the war and he was really interested...although my knowledge is poor...never really into history!! Must ask Mum about Grandads stuff, I'm not sure where his medals went....
We wandered round the stalls and watched the lifeboats, although you couldn't go in the station as advertised...gutted....
We didn't see the viking reinactment...or the burning boat...but we did see the viking camp....
After that we went swimming...nice to cool down it's been soo hot...the pool was quiet probably due to the festival.....only downside was the cafe was closing so no chips...arghhh...so decided to stop in Valley for shopping to come home and make tea...oh but the valley hotels there and they do fab grub...and there's swings...so we HAD to go there...the meal was massive and lovely and Wayne had a fab time playing......home to do some jobs and play
Work tomoz and Shels back yehhh...although not sure when i'll see her...got a busy week planned...Farm tomorrow, plas newydd summer fair Tues, Bodnant Gardens for Sleeping Beauty on Weds and Penrhyn Castle funday Thurs...weather permitting....oh my work is so hard.....got a new starter tomoz and Waynes so excited...when he asked me who we were having...(he asks me everyday) he cheered...so hopefully it should be a good day. Wayne got lots planned...bless...nice though as he obviously enjoys what we do x

scary...when it's where you shop x
This is scary
Don't know if anyone's heard...there's a few stories going about...
A child was taken into the changing rooms/toilets and had her hair cut/tried to cut her hair
and change clothes/try by a couple
All the shutters were activated and the store was closed and apparently it was an attempted abduction
This was Tescos in Bangor last week
Look after your kids x

Wayne day....
As promised we had a Wayne day today...
We played cards 100 times, found his daphne figure and went for a walk on two local public footpaths...the first was just through a field..and he found a cowpat to jump in...nice...lol..the second was by the edge of a river and high in places..and brambly...we got so far and had to fight through ferns...but the next bit was fight through brambles..and being as I was wearing shorts...we turned back! We'll have to go back with big boots and a scythe!!!
We also got the bouncy castle out and I sorted out Waynes bedroom and the playroom...the toys were sooo mixed up....but all in order again....for how long????
We had an interesting conversation about the difference between men and women..I asked Wayne what was different....he said he didn't know....but it may be that men are black!!!WHAT??? or maybe red!!??? the mind boggles....I said he should think about body parts and what does daddy have that mummy hasn't....he still wasn't sure ...but then said...I know...Mummy's got a bum...I was rofl...think we'll leave sex education for a bit lol!!!
We've renamed our tellytubby mound as grasshopper hill...there's loads of them...I was gutted as I couldn't find the book that tells you about grasshoppers
Tonight we did letters with letter tiles, want to try and do them regular as Wayne is pointing to words in book and recognising the difference between capital and lower case
So a very educational day off
Oh and the suncream queen has only gone and burnt her back...I did put cream on...should have got Wayne to help as i obviously missed some!! and the top of my legs....not sure how as I did put cream on.....I'm obsessive about it.....oh well now I match my dh....rudolf......lol
