waynes 5th party and new baby....

What a fantastic day....

The sun shone all day and I enjoyed every minute......despite staying up too late last night....had a late text from Shel...getting twinges.....then woken at 6.30 ish by her partner....she had a baby boy at 5.01am....and unbelievably turned up at the party at teatime....what a beautiful baby...and a perfect end to the day...well apart from Ron going off to a party and leaving me to clean up the mess!! but hey you can't have everything!

Wayne got some lovely presents, I didn't seem to touch the ground all day, but everyone seemed to have a fab time....

I'v just filled in my visitor book...yeh had to put everyone down as I was working...37 in all....

I'm so tired..........but it was worth it................

All change

Well all plans changed today...not because of a new baby though...lol
Shel had the midwife coming at 1 so I took her to the breakwater for a walk and to feed the ducks...there's lots of ramps on the way and a cattle grid...but still no baby...lol

Dropped shel off and took the 3 boys to pili palas for lunch and a play (I knew if I was at home I'd be wanting to do party stuff and getting frustrated!!)

They left at 4 and I've just sat down....10pm!! I've done the baps, coleslaw, jelly, got the garden toys out (it will be sunny lol)put sand in the sandpit, sorted the house, put batteries in the bubble machine(it's fab)Ron got the compressor out and blew up ballons, the paddling pool and the spiderman bouncy castle (which is minute...lol) Moved stuff round the garden, lots of grating food!!

Ron put Wayne to bed while I made the coleslaw and jelly and I put VH1 on to dance while I did it and an old fav of mine came on Sledgehammer...Peter Gabriel...oh to admit to being a genesis fan lol

I am now going to chill for a bit...busy day tomorrow...the count is now 17 kids and 20 adults...but the weathers looking good....and Waynes sooo excited...and me lol....the icing on the cake would be Shel finally having the baby...better not miss the party though lol....I made jelly especially x

penrhyn castle

Today we made it to Penrhyn Castle and it was great, and Shelly didn't go into labour...phew...we took her notes and bag just in case.....in fact if she doesn't have the baby tonight we're going again tomorrow. We had free tickets with brit trips and saved £22.50...so a good free day out.
It was a victorian playday and we played with victorian toys, went in a classroom...booo....O knocked over ink and still has blue hands lol....did some print painting and saw the highlight of the day Mr Bimbamboozle, the kids loved him and we laughed a lot too....
Had a picnic then into the adventure playground for some climbing....

Home and tonight we've started on the boxes for the party and made scooby doo chocs and Rons cut the grass.

Overheard something cute this morning. Wayne and B were talking and B said 'do you hate your mummy?' Wayne had a think and said 'no I love my mummy' B said 'I love your mummy too' and Wayne said 'she's my mummy you love your mummy'
Oh these moments.....when does it change to...I hate my mummy....!!!

Tomorrow it's kids in the kitchen in Penrhyn and they're making sugar mice.....I probably need to do party stuff, but have decided I've got enough food and if it's not enough tough......you watch I'll be sending Ron out Saturday morning....lol

Oh and on the weather front the forecast is good....fingers crossed!!!

visiting, party food and got the scooby doo cake!

Today we started with a visit to uncle J, helped him with some washing and he made me a cuppa x

Went for car tax!!! arghhh £210......and to take the recycling to the centre as they never emptied the bin yesterday!!

Then we went to see K who had texted to invite me for lunch....nice....had a good natter and the boys played really well

Went from there to Shels, still babyless....we were going for a walk to the breakwater but by the time I got there it was too late and raining!!

Then to tesco to get a scooby doo cake and food for the party...filled the trolley...lol

By this time it was nearly five so rang Ron to say we'd be late...but be coming home with chinese......

Had a nice scram then I've spent the evening tidying the house and wondering if I can fit a bouncy castle inside if it rains saturday!! Think positive....it WILL be sunny....lol

Tomorrow if the sun shines it's penrhyn castle...if not, pili palas...and we're picking up Shel and O...all being well...

lie in.....

Today I managed to lie in til 8.30, I conned Wayne by putting the blackouts up and going in with him, he woke me up to say he couldn't put the telly on....sigh

I kept waking up wondering if Shel was ok and had the baby, got a text at 10am, nearly broke my neck running for the phone...lol....her battery had gone flat and she'd not got my messages...sigh...no baby yet....

Spent the morning half heartedly moving furniture....cots to be precise, want the front room clear for Saturday in case of bad weather, ended up moving the whole of our bedroom round to get the cots in...and I was NOT in the mood..... Wayne asked if we could go out...I dropped everything quick and off we went....

Went to get suspension files then to pili palas to pick up my new pram, get Wayne a croc pal and let him go on the tractors (only allowed when it's just us) he only wanted to go once though...he's such a good boy. Had a slush in the cafe, bounce on the castle, play in the park and playzone....the place was packed to the brim.....nice just the two of us x

Called at asda on the way back, then home, folks for tea and bro came too.

Today we have also finished the labels for party bags and boxes, Waynes written them all....just need to get the rest of the grub now....and his cake......

Found some sort of a nest tonight on the summerhouse, think it was wasp....but small...Ron got it down and it had 3 maggoty things in...urghhh...and he put the nest on the microwave....I quickly took it back out lol....and took a pic!!! of the maggoty things too!!

Another day off tomorrow....hurray.....and today the sun shone....hip hip hooray....

windy day

Well no rain, but it's been sooo windy

Went to foel farm and had a great time, getting blown around lol

Called at pili palas on the way back for a bounce on the bouncy castle and ended up buying a pram!! picking it up next time I go, no room with prams, 2 adults and 4 kids!!

Texted shel at lunchtime and she was still with us, just texted again and no reply as yet...hoping that means there's a baby on the way x

Home for tea and they've all gone...so 2 days off yehhhhhhhh

lazyish day

Today we had the twins and a lazyish day

Took them to pili palas for a bit and came home to do a cake for their birthday....they loved it....choccy.....

The weathers not been so clever and we are hoping for sunshine tomorrow to go to foel farm, Waynes been dying for daddy to go...but at the moment it's raining!!!

Mind you be even worse if it rains next Saturday, having Waynes party at home and I don't want my house trashed!!! What am I saying, part of my job...lol

I've done next months invoices tonight...I know sad but I've got 2 days off after tomorrow and don't want to be doing them then!!! Although the paperworks never ending so I'm sure I'll find something I need to do!!

and here's the pics

plas newydd

Today we went to Plas Newydd for the launch of the anglesey walking festival...last night tents had been blown to bits and Mr Bimbamboozle failed to appear much to Waynes disappointment, however my brit trips free ticket was used...even though it said ...no bank hols...and we could go in the house which was nice. Wayne was really good and listened to the history and really enjoyed it....
Saw dawnsio gwerin, played in the adventure playground, did a bug trail, climbed in cut down tree trunks!! and Wayne roly polyed down the hill twice!! We also saw the red arrows acroos at Beaumaris...briefly....

Went from there to pili palas for grub and for Wayne to bounce on the bouncy castle

Then went to Nains to listen to them all going on about Hen Nains house.....

Then to asda to get a £25 bike I'd seen...gone...sigh...got party stuff though...suddenly realised only a week away...so texted or emailed people who haven't had invites yet and doing a list now for what I need.....I must be mad!!!

I'm too tired to blog anymore, all the wind and sunshine!!!!

day out in holyhead................

Today we went to Holyhead for the day...hey we know how to live...lol

We went to Boston centre stage...again....and they had a fab time....

Then for lunch in a cafe and a walk to see the big boats and over the trendy bridge to see the trains.....can you believe the excitement....

Then for a drive to Treaddur Bay to get the 2 little ones to sleep and we stopped to stroke some horses and look at the sea...Wayne wasn't too impressed with the cliff bits...thought he was going to fall in!!! hey my drivings not that bad!!

Then onto Jumpin Jacks for a bounce around...Shel was late and I was thinkin she may be in labour....nooo just delayed by troublesome kids ...lol...it's her last day of work today, due Monday, can't believe she's made it......I said I bet she'll go in tonight...now the relief of work is over!

Home to sit in the garden and do paperwork....

Did a chilli in the slow cooker and it was lurverly...we could have done with some garlic bread though....

Day off tomorrow and we're off to Plas Newydd for the launch of the Anglesey Walking Festival

My friend is the founder of the Snowdrop Appeal and I'm hoping to do walks to support her, if I can find child friendly ones...or get a day off to do one...if you go on the website and click, about us, then our aim, and download the power point you'll see why it's close to my heart...the final word says it all.......I know it's too late for some...but if it can help in the future......

Anyway on a lighter note Wayne was dressed up today as a binman...and spiderman...all at once!!! Last night he excelled himself...he had pj's, clothes, cowboy, bin man, spiderman...and tigger.....he was on the sofa and couldn't get up...bit like a sheep on it's back lol....don't know where he gets his strange ideas from lol....here he is.................

cake

Today started badly...again.....think the fact that I'm so excited about 2 days off...together...next week...means that this week has to go badly...sigh

Ron woke up late, his lift phoned him..he was outside whoops!! Ron was asleep..

I had a late start and knew Wayne would wake me up early as per....no....he went and watched telly and I woke up late and just got dressed in time for shel arriving...

Picked up S who'd been on a sponsored walk then back to make lunch and have cake, it's the last time shels mindee will be coming as they all finish tomorrow....

Shel left and we rushed to Holyhead to a mother and toddler where the twins were having a party, the place was fab with a mini bouncy castle....they all want to go back....had more cake and lots of fun

Home just in time for everyone to leave and I had an hour to myself as I'd finally remembered this morning to do a stew in the slow cooker so no cooking tea required...

Ron is on the phone to his mum at the mo...I can hear him 2 rooms away....there's a big hoo ha going on about his late nains house....too long a story to tell....the usual fun and games!!

another mad day

Another mad day today

Went to music club and as we got out of the car, little O picked up a handful of stones and threw them at MY car...and laughed...harsh words were said!!

It went from bad to worse as he had some dramatic tantrums....he was ok in the afternoon after a sleep though...phew....think he was tired and it was the usual...if things start going bad they spiral....

It was made good by tiny O doing a proper crawl across the floor...I videoed it but not checked to see if it's any good yet...sooo cute x

We made playdoh in music club and A gave me dates for more fun goings on....

Went from there to drop cards off for twins...2 tomorrow...and were asked to go to a little party at a mother and toddler tomorrow afternoon...so think i'll take their presents then instead of waiting til Sunday.

Lunch in tesco and O did a sock throwing thing...which resulted in me hunting tesco for the missing sock!! and failed...did I say he got better lol

Got cakes for kids birthdays and saw a scooby doo one...handy ...Wayne wanted me to get it there and then but I said we'd wait...hope they still have them next week!!!

Then into town to the bank and to watch the boats in the harbour....

Home and when they'd gone thought I'd take 5 on my hammock and read the paper....nooooo...Wayne came to sit with me and wanted to know what every picture was...what things said....noooo..so much for a bit of me time

Made tea and Rons gone to watch football and we've been wrapping presents and shel phoned...for an hour...you'd think we never saw each other...lol (actually it was under an hour, cos then she'd have to pay...lol) hmm the only reason I text her is cos I have free texts!!!

Tesco have been with Waynes things and he didn't see them...phew...

Wayne fell asleep this afternoon and as he's been a bit under the weather I left him...bad mistake ...he woke up grumpy...and still isn't in bed, I'm giving him til 9 then he's going...tired or not....I want to have a bit of quiet before Ron comes back!!! mind you we're not up early tomorrow so at least he should be ok tomorrow....famous last words!!!

what a day............

Today started well, went to fishes and made spiders from foil and pipecleaners...with googly eyes which fell off....and the kids pulled the foil off on the way home and my car is littered!!

Saw Shel who has 6 days to go if baby is on time.....she looks soo well x

Came home to do grub and 2 sent my hammock flying by....well not sure...I was making grub!! They were like little gremlins...not sure what was wrong with them....lucnchtime was noisy to say the least....

Took one to nursey and picked 2 up and decided to go to pili palas for a couple of hours....let them bounce some energy off...lol

Steve said he'd got new tills and there's a button for a butter free ham baguette...rofl...bless him...I go there too much....I asked him if there was a black tea button too....oh and a 'she's here, get the fryer on' would have been a good one...lol

Met 2 childminders and found out about a couple of events coming up, having no local ncma members means Wrexham is the nearest and they send no bloody info through...well they wouldn't they're not local...sigh...at least I get about and am nosey so find these things out...lol

One of my kids today did my nut in...well I thought I was going crazy, got to fishes and the car seat wasn't strapped in.....omg....then got home and it was still not in...checked it and pulled and yanked to see why it was coming out....and it didn't budge....I was sure I'd done it properly.....got to pili palas and it was fine (little blighter asleep) got home tonight and it was out again...and I'd seen her fiddling....she was undoing it...I wasn't going mad....hurray....well not hurray....how dangerous...I spoke to her sternly...very rare for me...but wanted to let her know how dangerous it is and how the seat would fly forward if we stopped suddenly....(bet my insurance wouldn't cover me if it was undone either)told mum so she would be aware if it happened.....these kids.....it's bad enough having to stop every 5 minutes to put there straps back on when the houdinis have wriggled out.....I've had 3 of them and it's a nightmare....especially if you're late....but they soon stop when you're persistent....oh I am going on

Folks for tea and I got left with Gran for an hour and my head hurts now...bless her...I know she can't help being old, but it's hard work when she can hardly hear...and I have to shout, then she repeats...and one more old story and I would have exploded....just didn't need it tonight....mind you she's just heard she's got an op in June on her eye and July to have a biopsy on her neck for some thing she's got on there...so I shouldn't be so horrible...but you know when you've just had one of those days and all you want to do is relax.....

Oh well tomorrow's another day, got to go and do a letter for cssiw, check my accounts for a mum with the tax credits and email another to say I can have her lad half term.....I was hoping for 3 days off, and now it's 2, so on the day when I'm working anyway what's another one......money ha ha...I love them all really x

Clanfergecan

Today I only had one and Wayne, so gave them the choice of wherever....they were busy on the bikes and I said how about taking the bikes somewhere and Wayne said...yehh...Clanfergecan....which is Llanfairfechan...lol...so off we went

We had a great day, riding up and down the prom, watching the trains, going to the 2 parks, seeing a swan on it's nest of eggs.....fatal when I go there....I just want to go back...sigh

Saw loads of people I know and the sun was shining. We had lunch in a cafe and the boys ran me ragged....bikes do NOT go at a normal walking pace...thought I was going to have a heart attack...lol

Even more so when we got to the outdoor pool, the boys whipped everything off in seconds and jumped in!!! I did paddle but still had my jacket on...it was warm but the wind was cold....great to be a kid and not feel the cold...lol

I was planning on 3 streams but time ran out and we popped to grandad's old shop and nipped to see Gill...our next door shop neighbour...and F was still there...my old pal...so lovely catch up and Gill gave the boys a TY toy each so they were pleased x

Came home and nipped to asda on the way and got turkey for tea.

Spent this evening printing invites for Waynes party and cards for 3 mindees birthdays this month...then folding...we've got 25 adults and 18 kids and two babes coming to Waynes party... if everyone comes...so I also did a list for grub, it's not til a week Saturday but I need to be organised and get it sorted before....or I'll FRET!!!!!

Ron came home early tonight and Wayne announced to A, this is my Daddy (er yeh A knows)..then he said...he's the sock monster...we were rofl

So now instead of doing more work on sorting out the pc I'm off to have a peep at house prices......not that I want to move...but hey a girl can look...........

and

In other news I forgot.................

Yesterday got some trews from a peruvian shop...and Ron said I'd look like the guy from rentaghost in them...rofl...who cares... They have some great stuff there but boy did I get moidered...why do I attract these people...lol....he gave me a step by step story he used to tell his kids about a dragon...oh I won't go on!!! mind you Wayne liked it and I got him some giraffe gloves...cool...

This morning I thought I'd have a nice quiet soak in the bath, but when I ran it the water was brown!!! bit worrying as we all drink it!!

And my scan is now on 4%, perhaps I shouldn't be surfing...sigh....just hope I can sort the pc out...I can't live without it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

vintage rally

Today was sunny...yeh...and we went to the vintage rally and had a great day.
The usual bumping into people and spending hours chatting....way too expensive food....and wayyyyy too much money spent on rides...and ended with Wayne tired and in tears......as he just wanted more and more...hey ho...to be expected

We had a tractor ride, Wayne hooked a duck and won a scooby doo inflatable, Wayne and I had a steam train ride...ha ha....and the guy winked at me and gave me a quid back...then some man who looked like santa sat on me!!!....saw lots of tractors, bikes, cars. Wayne went on a swing, carousel and bouncy slide and we walked miles!!!

We bought an owl while Ron was amiss...it's wooden and you can blow in it and it goes twit twooo.... how cool is that lol

We came home and slobbed in the garden and Ron made tea...shock horror...how nice x

Tonight I thought I'd look into why the pc is going soooo slow....3 hours later I've got printouts to try...downloaded stuff for printer/scanner and now doing a scan...I didn't renew my norton and think that may be causing probs too...oh the fun....

Never mind a later start tomorrow as one is missing and if I can get the pc to run faster it will save time !!! lol

farm and casts

Wayne woke up sniffly, but ok,he always looks worse as he rubs his face with his sleeve!! yuk and ends up with red cheeks...

Anyway we made it to Foel farm and the twins loved it, feeding the animals, stroking a rabbit, rides. When we went to see the shire horses Wayne said, where's the other one??...put down....oops...

Home for tea and thinking I had a quiet evening of double corrie and some slush...but Ron turned up back from footy, hadn't been drinking...sigh...no pleasing me...moan if he goes and moan if he comes back, but I have to deal with telling Wayne I can't sleep with him now....and Ron's watching matrix while I'm in here...corrieless...

Had chortles with Shel today, she's done a cast of her pregnant belly...I'd never heard of it before.....so I'm not the only nutty one...lol

questions, moaning...lol

Today Wayne wanted to go to Grandmas...handy as I wanted to go to tesco to get his birthday pressies....tesco had the best prices for scooby doo...lol
Got there and the prices were dearer and they didn't have the main one he wanted (half price) so have ended up ordering online...and getting treble points...yehh...delivery was a bit steep but I opted for a 2 hour slot, so at least I don't have to stay in all day

Me and my two babs had elevenses in tesco then they slept on the run to holyhead for jumpin jacks, little o is starting to crawl...well not crawl but slither backwards...he loved it on the mats, especially as when he rolled over it was soft!!

Met Shel and K and then chips in the cafe and home

Shels got just over a week to go and looks soo well..I was a wreck at the end, swollen feet, shattered!!

When the little ones had gone took bro's pressies over, new towels (washed so they would dry him...lol) and an airer, put them up, then whizzed to get Wayne who had been learning about butterflies, made mash...but not eaten it lol, seen a magpies nest and learnt about shiny things...and tonight announced while rofl that Sam had done a big poo and it was really funny (sam's a horse)

Folks mentioned about all the questions...yep...lol.....I get it 24/7...and not just from him!!!

Then on for a chinese and got home to victor meldrew, swearing and moaning, I knew I shouldn't have mentioned that J had reversed into his car...no damage...but I suggested he move it to prevent further mishaps (he's had to move it back cos of the trailer...for the quad...sigh) oh and the world comes to an end...he's always being told what to do blah...no thanks for the chinese...you must be tired after doing over a hundred miles and rushing since 4 to get back with said chinese....bloody men!!!

Anyway ordered Waynes pressies, Waynes coming in for a cold, medicine tonight and snuffling, hoping he's ok for the weekend.

kids playing up

Today shel came round, the kids were all playing up, not sure if it's the weather...and Wayne spent most of the day in the bedroom...so me thinks he may be coming in for something
Shel and I had the usual natter and chortle
Bro popped round tonight to use the pc and Wayne and I made a model train, played lego, then played with the car track and had great fun
I've spent the evening looking for Waynes birthday pressies...we know what he wants so it's a case of googling for the best price...mostly scooby doo stuff
Looking like rain tonight....noooo...we're planning on the vintage rally this weekend, so we want sunshine...although Saturday I've got the twins so it'll have to be sunday...thinking of foel farm sat...if the weather holds up...and Wayne....

making the most of the sunshine

Today we went to the bank, then music club and did painting...and music...and played out in the sunshine...then on to recycle, tesco for lunch, then wilkos, argos and brantano...and the day was gone...time to get home to make tea.

I've had an hour swinging in the garden and Wayne has amused me lol

He wanted to know if he could swing when he was daddies age (46) I said yes but he probably wouldn't be living with mummy then, and he started crying and said but mummy I want to stay with you forever and never grow up...ahh sweet....errr...could I have that in writing...lol....you know when he becomes a ratbag of a teenager and hates me x

Daddy came home and he was dancing to the spice girls (Wayne not Ron lol)

I don't seem to have mentioned education again for a bit....it's funny but as we don't sit and do lessons I have to think what we've done....should be writing it down more really for cssiw

The other night he painted a cardboard cape, I'll blog a pic, it looks fab, he really took his time and concentrated on it.
Today while we were talking about age he wanted to count to 46, we've been doing days of the week, months of the year..etc...while swinging...lol

Oh bugger trying to think, Wayne is learning the most important lesson at the moment, when the sun shines make the most of it x and don't forget the suncream..lol

Ha just remembered something my dad came out with last night, we were talking about some poor guy who was diagnosed with cancer after christmas and died the other week...he was fit and never smoked or drank......and dad came out with

'Stopping smoking and drinking won't make you live longer, it'll just feel like it'

or words to that effect....

anyway...the cape.............

mary poppins gone mad!!

Today was sunny again...yehhh..but windy....the brolly that was shading the little one flew off, I grabbed it and was like Mary Poppins flying across the garden...much to the amusement of the kids..lol

We had to go out to take one to nursey and pick two up, then home and 3 slept for an hour...

Then more play in the garden, watering the plants...each other!!!

Folks for tea and then clear up and double bill of corrie........

Had an email from a rellie I've not seen for years....rofl at him...think we have the same sense of humour...sad!!! and the love of tea x

Funny talking to mum tonight and Ron was shaking his head at my tightness...when he's finished toothpaste...I seem to manage to get the last bits out for weeks after....think it started with a discussion on recycling and how me and mum wash out everything...and Ron doesn't...Mum said 'what about shampoo bottles?' and I said 'well they're washed out as I put water in at the end to get every last drop out' in fact this morning I put water in a leave in conditioner bottle to make the last bits of use...and it did wonders for my hair...lol....am I sad or what????

But hey I looked beautiful for the day...ha ha... I wish

hey hey still sunny

Today was lovely again, so we stayed home all day and played in the garden, had a picnic, swung on the hammock and 2 fell fully clothed in the paddling pool....hilarious....this staying at home lark makes the paperwork simpler too!!

Tonight we went to see Uncle Jacks new flat, it's fantastic, support workers 24/7...met 3 and they were really nice.....the place is great and Jacks flat is really nice...with alarms for if he's in trouble, they're sorting out a care plan in the week and I'm soo happy for him. What a great opportunity to gain independance, with help there if he needs it. He'll be nearer me too so hoping in my sparce free time we can go over, and with him being near the leisure centre thinking we may be able to combine a trip there and take him along.....if he wants....

Wayne was so excited looking round the place....and seeing Uncle Jack....

Home to tidy the garden and fix Waynes knees, fallen twice today, corking grazes on his knees...and what a brave soldier...not....screaming.....then howling when I tried to bath him to get the dirt out.....ooohhh cruel mummy...lol

sun sun sun...then rain....

Well the washer finally finished its 3 hour cycle, but when it came to spin it flew across the room...we had to hold on to it to stop it going further....great hilarity after a beer too...lol....not funny though was we'd failed to remove some transit bolts....whoops...it now spins like a dream and moves not....and I've cleared the backlog of washing this weekend

It's been a belter of a weekend....lots of sunshine....yehhhhhhh

Saturday we put the tumble drier in the garage and Ron went to get a leg to support the worktop and the plan was to put a cupboard there, but it won't fit....sigh...so the cupboards gone on its end for now....to fit...and it looks ok, will have to have a rethink!!!

Poor Ron, he hates it when I say....'I've been thinking'.....Ron was kept busy taking the blown up tv and washer to the tip and putting in a line in the summer house....handy for drying in there

I've been working today and Rons gone to watch everton, just checked and they won 3-1so he'll be pleased

We've had a day in the garden and as they drove away tonight, it rained, sigh, oh well shouldn't complain... It's still warm so I went and gave the car a wash....it was filthy

I'm now off to relax on my hammock while Wayne carries on painting his cardboard cape!!!

usual straightforward events!!

Well it didn't rain yesterday and we had a fantabulous day in the garden....from 8am til 9.30pm...cars, bikes, sand, paddling, picnics, it was lurverly.
Wayne and I did a whizz to wilkos when i finished at 4 for a swinging hammock...hence the 9.30pm finish....took me ages to put it up, Ron had gone for a spin on the bike...and Wayne managed to make a hole in the seat with scissors...sigh...only small though, and has not spolit my enjoyment of swinging..
Today was a bit wet and miserable...didn't stop me swinging though lol
The day started badly with a letter from argos, my washing machine would be in the warehouse on May 30th, they would then phone me for delivery....WHAT...NOOOOO...phoned to cancel and went to Bangor to get one...and did.....good price tooo.....trouble is after we got it, plumbed it in, I did a wash....just picked one of many programmes....and it seemed to be going on for ages...read the book...tut tut...should have done that first....the programme takes 3 hours....some bloody economy thing.....so it may finish by the time Rossy's on...sigh
Oh well can spend my day off catching up on the washing...and it's a 8kg drum so will take half the time!!! Oh the fun I have......WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

another scorcher

Today was a scorcher......yehhhhh
We went to music club then tesco for lunch and vest tops and brantano for sandals and a discount...handy....one of my parents works there....ended up with me and Wayne getting some crocs....I saw some great sandals with a wedge heel...not practical for work...and being as I work 6 days a week decided crocs were more practical...booo
Wandered across to Wilkos and had a swing on the hammock in there, if I'd had room in the car I would have got it, it's sooo relaxing
Someones mentioned rain for tomorrow....nooooooooo
My text gremlin is a network problem...so hoping it's sorted soon...
We got the paddling pool out as I finished early and Wayne was naked as a j bird in seconds....put his foot in the pool and said it was toooo cold and spent half an hour running naked round the garden jabbering to himslef....wot must the neighbours think ...lol.....I resisted the temptation to do the same and slobbed in a chair!!

sunny days...well apart from my day off!!

Well Sunday it poured it down...boo...some day off
Monday we went to Caernarfon Castle for medieval entertainment, it was good but not as good as the aug bank hol one last year....had 3 kids and Ron came too....had chips in a cafe and went to a park to end the day...all fell asleep on the way home...apart from me lol...driving
The sun was shining and it was a lovely day
Last night finally ordered a washer after much faff.....as per usual....got to wait for a call with delivery date...so with all this hot weather we'll all be stinkin....lol
Today we went to fishes and then pili palas...another scorcher...tonight Ron went for a meal with work and the folks came for tea
My mobiles been acting strangely...when i send a text it gets duplicated, Shelly got 3 the other day...not sure why?? gremlins maybe...lol
Here's hoping for more sunshine xxxx

got a tent

Well we went to look at tents in Caernarfon...not impressed...so ended up in Warws..Beddgelert....(that takes me back to cinema days in Bangor)just for a look....went for a wander to a cafe for lunch and went back and bought one...last years...as it was half price due to colour change...do we care!!

It's fab....and 6 berth...yep only 3 of us but loads of space...came home and erected....with 2 mindees....when they'd gone erected better (not much room in garden as it's massive!!)

Ron came home with chinese and we had two tables, and chairs for all and still loads of space...I had to get a chair to attach the bedrooms as it's soooo high....can't wait to go camping....mind you...my back hurts from all the erecting...and I don't fancy doing it in the wind and rain....lol

Also got airbeds and a cooking stand...fantastic...roughing it ..with a bit of class and hopefully no more rib moving and bad backs
The tent I picked has headroom even in the bedroom...blisss...no more lying down trying to get dressed!!

Today started badly...fees for credit card due to late payment...£12...gits...only one day late...then we went off to the market for veg and to the bank...came back and the washer was....wet...no longer spinning...been making mad noises for ages...so spent hours tonight trying to find a new one...want a big un so I can wash my blankets...costs me a fiver at the laundrette and they've been in bags for ages...too mean to pay...lol

Had a lovely afternoon in the garden....sunshine....yehhhh

Rons gone to a 40th party...I considered....but although it's bank holiday I have one day off tomorrow and want to be here and not feeling like crap ...with Wayne miserable....

So tonight I've dyed my hair.....again....red...and well ...been looking for a washer...what a way to spend a saturday night

busy day

Today we had a busy day at home, I had 5 and shel came with 2, luckily it was sunny so they played outside for a while. I threw a bag of sausage rolls in the oven and made lots of butties!!
Did the school run and came home to make tea.
I've given up looking for tents on the internet and plan to go looking, maybe tomorrow, you really need to see a tent!
So busy looking for tents forgot about the bike...lol
