Ow Ow Ow
Ow Ow Ow...why do I do these things????
Just got back from an hour of pilates, an hour gym induction and half hour swimming followed by a collapse in the jacuzzi!!
Anyway today it was pili palas, met H and did paperwork as A is starting next Monday. It was sunny so we did the nature trail...well ran after the kids...not much nature involved!
The kids had a fab time.
I got me some new trainers for tonight...Ron came home and lol at me and said I looked like Jane Fonda...isn't she old lol!!
I made a dash for my evening of relaxation and pain.....pilates was good and I did excellent apparently!! she thought I'd been practicing..didn't tell her I'd been watching a dvd while under the influence...lol but hey it must have done something..although I fell over at one point...
The gym was 'interesting' had a medical then had a go on a rowing machine, running, cycling, leg weights, chest weights, steps, some other machine..forget what it was but involved me using my arms and legs at the same time and I nearly fell getting off it lol.....he said to go in and have a go and see what I like doing then come to him for a personal training plan...but on the way out decided to book the personal training for next week.....will try and go a few times before then but think if I have a plan I'm more likely to go in and do it...it's like the pilates...the classes are good but when I did yoga I had a set routine that I followed and I did it like clockwork...I just like being organised I suppose....or was it because the trainer was a dish...lol
Got back and Wayne wasn't asleep...tut tut...but he had done me some drawings...sweet and he said he wants to make santa a present at christmas as he doesn't get any!!!
Was listening to them after school today and the conversation was santa....
S... Well santa comes to my house and leaves me lots of presents and one year I woke up and saw a beard and couldn't sleep after that!!
W...Well when santa comes to my house he leaves glitter everywhere and on christmas day we have to hoover it up
S...Well santa leaves glitter at my house too
W...Do you hoover it up on Christmas day?
S...no
W.. We do
S ..Well he leaves too much for us to hoover up in one day
W...do you make him a present?
S ...No he brings presents for me
W...Well I do its not fair he does all that work and gets no presents, he must get really tired
I love kids x

another of my jaunts..lol
Had a lie in after a night of too much ale!! Stepson nearly gave us a heart attack with a text about girlfriend being preggers...NOT...well we think not...!!??!! lol
Ron was also rofl at me....he was watching glastonbury and I'd got my pilates dvd...he came through and there was a red leotarded lady on the telly with strange music....and in answer to his question...NO CHANCE...my figure would have to change dramatically to wear a leotard lol...omg...imagine....anyway the dvd was good and I just need to find time to watch it in peace and practice....I just watched it last night....had tooo much ale to be trying to do 'controlled movements' think I may get a lock on the door too...imagine trying to relax and breathe from your ...whatever it is... and my 2 come in...and laugh... oh well the cd with the relaxing music is good...think I may put that in the car and hope not to fall asleep....
Today we had a fry up and went to a mindees party in the leisure centre...bouncy castle, grub, Wayne had a fab time, Ron went for a swim and I chatted played with the kids and felt very strange as I was only responsible for one very independant boy!!
Went from there to the Peru thing, Ron was bemused...lol...the alpacas were sooo cute ...and make a cutie pie noise..Wayne was rofl..we didn't try the grub...me with my allergies and Ron just didn't fancy it...Wayne was fascinated by the spinning but didn't like the music...put his hands on his ears!! and wouldn't have his face painted...ended up buying him finger puppets and left as we were hungry...Went to Hootons..the place where we were 'supposed' to be strawberry picking but ended up in the 'pricey' cafe for grub and bought strawberries...Ron thought it was too muddy and didn't want to push it....Wayne had strawberries in the cafe...came in a glass..about 4 chopped up...£1.50!!!! won't be going there again!!
Anyway after that we went to Bryn Celli Ddu much to the distress of Wayne..and Ron....hmm did I say I was driving...lol however they really enjoyed it...the walk there has changed but it is amazing when you get there...well I think so...Wayne had a great time running up and down it..and in it...I read the story to him and I'm glad we went....cor done history, geography, p.e, maths, english, welsh, science today and Wayne just thought it was fun lol
Came home and the jaunt was tooo much..Ron fell asleep...blamed it on the swimming!! and Wayne went to bed early...and I hoovered, mopped, did 2 loads of washing, emptied the rubbish, next months invoices and weekly attendance sheets...well it's all very well going out and having fun but the jobs are still here!! and tomorrow night I'll be out...got my pilates and gym induction...god help me!!!
Oh and back to my allergies...had a lovely ham butty tonight with ham from netto...and now I look at least 6 months pregnant...checked the ingredients and nothing untoward...won't be having anymore though....I hate it...be so nice to just eat what you want....had friends in llanfairfechan who went through the menu at the chinese...I could never do that....mind you going to attempt to go through the menu at the Hall...avoiding just the chocolate one....I mean the treatment menu...not the food one lol

weird day
Today was another weird one....got up at 7...working at 8....noooo nearly 10 by the time they came...I could have stayed in bed!!then pick up was at 4 instead of 6.30....nice...but well strange!
We went to a summer fair this morning which was good, kids enjoyed, saw 3 mindees...one who kept scowling at me...think it was a case of me being in the wrong place...the other two were happy to see me....at one point I had them all sat at a table doing craft!!
This afternoon Ron took Wayne swimmming and I played with the twins.....
Due to the early finish we went to Netto to get brekkie supplies...then for a chinese...that couple of hours made such a difference...my Saturdays from now on are going to be much better...when I'm not coughing and spluttering I'm sure I'll be heading for the Hall...lol
Had a text from my stepson ...well a few...great to hear from him...not sure why me and not Dad but no matter always nice to hear from him...the last one he sent had me rofl
Day off tomoz....yeh...although mindee party..so busmans holiday...then we're off to the peru thing...and strawberry picking...weather permitting...Ron doesn't fancy strawberry picking if its still muddy...but I'm driving and it's my car...so he will have no choice...lol...does he ever...well if he will come on my jaunts!!!!

the best part of being a childminder x
Well I said I wasn't coming back until I was happy...and today has been stressful...in parts...and I woke up with no voice...oh joy for all around me lol...soon got it back with lots of tea!!
BUT today something amazing happened to put life back into perspective....I've been moaning and groaning and will continue!! but today my mindee O who is 8 months stood up and held on to a car and walked across the leisure centre hall...with me whooping and cheering....and then did it again for me to video on my phone....it was such a moment...and one I'd normally not share with a parent....you don't want them feeling that you've shared a milestone...however being on video I had to show her and send it.... bless him....his little face was a picture....mind you I failed to get that on the vid!!!....it's one of the best bits of being a childminder...seeing the children developing and achieving things x
Anyway after all the excitement the rest of the day has been me sneezing and coughing!! I've been doing a statement for ...oh I can't blog...but it's stressful....and I've nearly finished my quality first 'expansion' just got the discrimination bit to do...which i'm finding hard...although I spoke to my mentor this morning who helped a lot....just need to get my head round what they're asking.......sigh...........
I have checked the oil too many times today...think I may have a problem lol.....just paranoia....put petrol in the car...yikes....when will it stop going up??? and gave it a jet wash....just a jet wash...too mean to do a proper wash....and planning on more strawberry picking sunday if the weathers good but that's where the car got sooo muddy...so no real point in going to town!!#
I'm off for some vicks.....

moan moan
What a bloody miserable day...torrential rain all day...which got worse at school time and I had to get 4 kids in the car....soaked to the skin!!! and Wayne left my door open so I got a wet bum!!
Shel came over this morning and we had a natter.....and the kids played...this afternoon stayed in and played some more, did child safety stuff and a fire drill but no one would go out as it was raining...sure they would if there was a real fire!! They thought the smoke alarms were frightening...then funny...I didn't the batteries gone in one and it kept bleeping!!!
Been attacking my quality first and fed up now of 'expanding' my answers...oh and one bit..'Deborah you haven't filled in your local support'...very tempted to put 'no cos they've all buggered off....we have none!!!!' lol
God I'm not having a good week...to top it all tonight I went to put water in my car washers and Ron suggersted I check the oil...not done it for a bit...but it's always ok....it was bone dry!!!eeekkk....I've put some in but panicking now incase it's already done damage!! Not sure if I've got a leak...the cars not that old...in fact it's the newest car I've ever had and I never used to check anything often in my old bangers....and the warranty ran out today...not sure I'd be covered for being a 'woman' though!!
Oh I'm going and coming back when I'm happy.........................

how could I forget the tax
Found out tonight the tax threshold for completing the long tax return has increased from £15k to £30k...wondered why mine seemed so easy..was expecting a horrendous online experience...
here's the info
here's the info
No peace for the wicked!!
Did I say today HAS to be better...lol
Started with my results for my quality first portfolio...have to expand on a FEW areas...sigh...I've done levels 1 2 and 3...and didn't even get level 1 and all because I missed clicking the mouse to change england to wales and ofsted to csiw...and they've got that wrong it's cssiw now....oh well.....I have spent tonight doing the bits I could without using my brain and printing out the others to look at in peace...as I get none here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mindees were better today but still coughing...snotting...and tears....
We went to music club this morning and there was only 3 of us..due to the pox....they closed music club when Wayne had it!! We did games and Wayne enjoyed dominos..and A had brought a cake as it was her last language and play session...
This afternoon we had a quiet hour watching tv, then I had to go to the bank and we had a wander round Llangefni. Phoned K (as J has got the pox) to see if she needed anything..and she was delighted by my email about taking her to the Hall with one of my freebie tickets...with her dh paying for her desired hot stonemassage..she said she nearly cried...bless....
Home to play out and then after tea I tried to do some work....then gave up as Wayne was moidering...and the tv was too loud...I need an office!!! Took myself off in a huff for a bath telling them I was going and if they needed the bathroom to go NOW!! I wanted some peace.....I was just disappearing under the water and heard Ron say...go away Wayne I'm watching this...oh noooo...next thing Wayne was in the bathroom...naked....can I have a bath mummy....NOOOOOOOO.....but being mummy I came out and he went in...sigh....is it too much to ask for half an hour without being disturbed...and they wonder why I'm so keen to go to the Hall!!!!
Anyway once I'd read stories got my work done and now I'm....well blogging obviously....think I may disappear tomorrow night!!!

ah but he is on s4c phew
A good end to my day....found loads of stuff and printing it out....just hope the printer doesn't pack in again.....think positive....and who cares...tomorrow HAS to be better x
oh bugger I'm going to bed!!
Due to licences not being renewed, Fireman Sam is no longer part of the CBeebies schedule.
snot, sick, shit, tears and tantrums
What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Started this morning quite cute with 2 little ones playing hairdressers... (Wayne didn't know what a hairdresser was lol!!) Must put that on my to do list...I do Wayne and Rons hair and never cut mine!!
Anyway they disappeared to the toliet and I checked as i do....flush toilet...wash hands....one came out with a wet patch on the back of her head....then I spotted the handwash in the playroom and mindee rubbing the back of her head...I asked her what she was doing and she turned round and her hair was full of froth...lol.....she was washing her hair with handwash of course...and put it on other mindee....sigh you have to laugh.....
Took one to nursery and picked up other two and they were coughing...and snotting...urghh....they didn't sleep long due to coughing and all woke each other up...so lots of grumps....then one kept having tantrums...throwing himself on the floor for no apparent reason...the other threw up on me twice...and in the mean time I was wiping snotty noses..and changing yukky nappies..and no clean clothes so baby ended up in Waynes jumper!!...Ron phoned me and I just had no chance of answering and sent him a text saying I could not answer the phone right now as I was having a nervous breakdown!!...his workmate was worried I really was lol...so was I at one point.....it was horrendous.......and on a day when I'm over my numbers...the other 3 just had to entertain themselves...mind you they were entertained by all the yukkiness going on...strange how kids want to see all the poo and sick...but stand there saying...urghh it smells...it's yuk....WELL DON'T STAND THERE THEN!!!! oh and the tears....my tears lol
Phew that's better...I think they may be in for the pox....we'll see if they come tomorrow....god help me...poor little things though x
Folks for tea...but it was a blur....and I've just found a pack about child safety week...it's only this week!!!So been downloading stuff for them to do and emailed the fire service to see if we can do a visit....and now I'm off to print some Sam Tan stuff for them to colour in............

strawberries and bananas!!!!!!!!!!!
Today had one of the twins due to the other one having chicken pox....was going to stay in but we had tears at wake up time and it must have been weird being just one...if you know what I mean!
So took off to Pili Palas as it was really windy and couldn't think of anywhere else....had a good time playing, bouncing and looking at the animals...but there were loads of bigger kids and it was busy and in the end it did my head in so we headed off....
I'd noticed in the paper they were doing pyo strawberries at hootons so decided to try that as it is quite sheltered there. The kids had a great time and we came back with a load of strawberries which I gave half of to mindee to take home for mum and ill one....had a bit of a strange one today...not blogable...confidentiality and all that...but hoping all works out as I seem to be a bit of a piggie in the middle....
Tonight I have been tearing my hair out.....need to get paperwork for new starter and being as I only have the hard copy of the handbook decided to reel off a few....did I say reel...the bloody printer went bananas...my hands are covered in ink...I've got the book out and cleaned the heads...and it has worked in fits and starts.....between which I have been cursing as bad as Ron....lol....sooo frustrating...especially as I wanted 3 copies of each policy and when it went bananas I only got 1 or 2...so have had to trawl through and sort out what I had....arghhhhhh....anyway all done now....roll on pilates tomorrow ...lol
Last night I ordered a dvd and some music.....just to do my familys head in lol
Ron had a day at home reading his book and finished it............and put Wayne to bed for me...I must have been stressed....and even after I warned him I will be back after bedtime tomorrow....well pilates is 6-7 and if I go for a swim and take my book I can have a quiet hour or so after....wonder if all this relaxation is the reason I'm getting so stressed....perhaps I was better being on the go 24-7!!!!
So took off to Pili Palas as it was really windy and couldn't think of anywhere else....had a good time playing, bouncing and looking at the animals...but there were loads of bigger kids and it was busy and in the end it did my head in so we headed off....

hotel morons......
Sigh sigh sigh.......
Just had a call from Mum who was oblivious to the fact I'd upgraded them last night..
No one at the hotel had told them what I'd done, Mum and Dad just thought they were lucky getting a fancy room...and left before breakfast as they didn't know it had been paid for!!
The hotels just had an email from me....honestly.......
Oh well apparently my Mums always wanted to sleep in a four poster.....
Why is the world full of morons...????????????????????????????............lol

swimming
Today Wayne graced us with a late start....yehhh....he woke me up at 10.30 to say he'd had breakfast...oh no!! Went in the kitchen and he'd had Weetos (crap I know but bought as a reward for being good at eating his tea)I was expecting a big mess....but no....he'd had some, put the bowl in the sink, milk back in the fridge and put the weetos in the cereal tub and back in the cupboard....my little cherub x
We had a fry up and due to torrential rain the sailing was off so Ron took Wayne swimming...outside lol!! They had a fab time and bumped into mindees, so Wayne enjoyed it all the more.....
I stayed home and cleaned....NOOOO don't be silly this is the new me....I sloped off to the Hall....spent 2 hours relaxing, did lots of swimming and took my pilates book to read in peace...trouble was when it got to the exercises I could hardly do them there!! Might freak everyone out!! Did try the breathing though and think I cracked it at one point...I went all dizzy...lol...not sure if that's supposed to happen!
I came out and popped to asda, I was thinking of chinese tonight but after all that exercise felt like something healthy so got ham and salad and came home and baked some baquettes (out of a packet lol) and did chips with them!! there goes the healthy bit...they were scrummy though.
Then I mopped the kitchen and I've put some washing on, as looks like I'm working tomorrow so though I'd better make an effort! I did think about hoovering but that's as far as I got.....
So a nice day for all.....................

lots of jobs done......
This morning was quiet, one slept and the other helped me with jobs and played.
I rang the tax credits as I've filled in the forms...and now had more!! All sorted now. I also phoned the NCMA as I realised my Quality First Portfolio had been sent 22 weeks ago...and it's supposed to take 12 weeks to be assessed!! And lastly I phoned the hotel Mum and Dad are stopping at tonight, hoping to pay for it, but Dad had already paid!! So I upgraded them to a four poster suite and breakfast....hope they don't mind! They never go to a hotel but they've gone for a cousins ruby wedding (I think)and as dad wouldn't let me pay for the meal the other night thought it would be a nice way to treat them......hope they think so too x
Went to nettos to get a new car seat for Wayne, he's a bit big for his other one now...then onto Jumpin Jacks with the intention of having lunch...which we did....but it took so long we missed half of Jumpin Jacks!!! Shel was texting me to see where we were.....then gave me loads of stick about my pilates and new membership...lol...bet she'll come along at some point...no good while she's feeding though!..then she said a while back she'd bought a pilates video and a ball, then sat and watched it eating cake...and never bothered again...rofl...so she's obviously a secret saddo like me.....I'm just brazen about it lol
School then home for play then tea, then I sneaked off for a swim while Ron fiddled with Waynes new bike which I'd put together last night and then helped Wayne round the house on it....it's his first without stabilizers....although there should have been some, so just emailed to complain!! but really it would be good to get him riding it as it is....
I had a lovely hour swimming and steaming and bubbling.........I wanted to go tonight as Ron may be going sailing tomorrow and I'm working Sunday...chicken pox permitting!! so may be my only chance this weekend....but if the sailing fails I'll be sloping off tomorrow....lol

morning off.............
Today I had an unexpected morning off as S had sports day, so I had a lovely soak in the bath...and then cleaned the bathroom, the fridge, did 2 loads of washing...did the tesco credit card, sorted some papers to shred, paid my car insurance...with great pain...lol..and booked the pc for a healthcheck (free)...trouble is what will I do without it??????????
Wayne had a bad night last night and I went in with him, he only woke a few times but he was coughing bad, I was worried, but he's been ok today, still coughing but ok....they're always worse at night x
12 o'clock and 3 turned up at once so made lunch and then we went to the library, part of childminding week, it's all literacy this year. We played with the train set...although the trains were missing. Luckily...or maybe not...one of the mindees had brought 2 cars so they played with them.....later I threw them in my bag and heard a crunch....only gone and cracked my phone!!!!
We read some books and made lots of noise!!!! well you can't quieten an 8 month old!!
Came out with lots of books and I got a pilates one...see if it tells me how to breathe from my inner core...lol.....I HAVE been practicing but it's not working I still use my chest......
School then home to play, tea and now waiting for tescos......
Waynes been really good with eating the last few days and I was giving him lots of praise tonight and I said he was my good boy....he said
'I'm your not well good boy mummy' cute x
Ha ha and now he's being even cuter.....sat on the loo and singing ...usual poo routine lol...he's singing....Heads, sausage knees and toes.....oh and now 'mummy I've finished'...gotta go x

Happy Birthday Dad
Today we went to music club and iced biscuits...nice messy fun.....Wayne made one for everyone tonight as its Grandads birthday.....
Home to have lunch then due to horrible wind and rain spent the afternoon just playing, singing nursery rhymes and dancing...well I was ...the kids were just amused lol
School then back to play again...
Wayne's sniffing has turned to bad coughing and he was dreadful by tonight....plus he woke up at 7am.....I didn't want him to go for a meal tonight, even though it's Grandads birthday, but he wanted to.....we had a lovely meal and Wayne was ok, but it started badly with Great Grandma cornering him and hounding him....omg I know she won't change at 92 but just once it would be nice if she could not criticise!! What did she say to him??
'you know why you've got a cold, going out with nothing on your feet'
'have you got a vest on under there?'
'when are you going to cut your hair?'
didn't hear a school one tonight.....but she's going to find out soon, and her niece from Americas here in September...so even worse......
Wayne ended nearly in tears and we got him relocated to a safer seat .....it's horrible really as it brings back everything she used to say to me...constant criticism...never happy with anything...and worse now as she's older and she wonders why I don't go there regular, I'm not putting Wayne through what I put up with, she comes here once a week and I have tears after and have to reassure Wayne as it is..........awful thing to say but true...
Anyway he fell asleep on the way back and he's now in bed, he woke up when we got back and went to sleep asking me why Great Grandma was nasty to him.....I just explained that she's old and doesn't think or mean it....bless him x and he said 'but she does bring me my favourite food, chocolate'....sigh.......
I took a cake for Dad...you know...being 65 he really wanted to blow out candles...lol....no for Waynes benefit....even that was disaterous....Great Gran was mumbling about having a cake at home we could nip back for.....yeh with Wayne ill an extra half hour there....and more travelling would be great...it was 8ish by the time we got in as it was.....the idea of meeting central was so we wouldn't be back too late and to save Dad some travelling
Oh I'm going on now.....
Anyway I think Dad liked his present, got him slippers from Wayne....as requested...boring...lol.....and a framed personalised newspaper headline with best Dad of the year 2008, his pic and a write up about how he is the best dad....from this website haven't told Shel yet, she'll be rofl...she thought the Alpaca bear was mad!!
Talking of Shel, sent her a text last night after receiving one from her in reference to the pilates saying I was turning into a hippy veggie (what's wrong with that??) so sent one back saying they wouldn't let hippies become members of tre ysgawen hall....she never got the message!!!! but I read it out to Ron last night and he nearly fell over...lol....seems to like the idea of the free pass though...lol....just finding the time to go.....but I shall be going soon....I feel so stressed tonight!!!

fun day and spoilt surprises.....oh .....oh.....
Today we went to Beaumaris to a Fun Day for Childminding week, the kids loved it and me...bit of adult conversation, the usual bods there and I found out that our new development worker on Anglesey is D, I met her on my DHC, she's really nice....not really on though that she has a post that was made redundant a few weeks ago!!! but not her fault x no sign of a network though!
There was a bouncy castle, inflatables, balls, crafts, mine made butterflies, glittery ones!!! hmm my car is now glittered...and also plates with things you lick and stick...one of mine threw the lot on the floor they were stuck to her feet and everything!!
Had a picnic there and then mad dash to nursery, then pick up 2 and home for an hour of colouring before school, then back to play out......
Also done certificates for childminding week for the kids, welsh one side, english the other and laminated them...........
Grandad's birthday tomorrow so been getting pressies and cards ready, although Wayne still needs to write his card tomorrow...and I've forgotten a cake....just realised....have to get one tomorrow x
I was going to surprise Ron with a trip to Tre Hall and book him a massage, but it's failing miserably as Mums away this weekend and the only night would be Thurs and we've got Tescos coming!! I've not told him I've joined yet...was going to be the surprise when I took him, but going to have to tell him now as I'm off Saturday and want to go...lol
Oh and in bad news the other twins now got chicken pox...poor mum....and Waynes been sneezing tonight....hoping he's not coming in for some horrible lurgy!!
Oh and tonight I decided to look under the sink to see what the smell was...unscrewed the pipes and gave it all a bleach...yuk....hopefully the smell will go!!

Happy Fathers Day
Had a lovely day today.
Started with me cooking breakfast!!! What...that's Rons job lol
Then off to Penrhyn Castle to see some vintage and classic cars, Ron saw one he learnt to drive in...old bugger...lol...and there was morris minor like dad had
We went round the castle and Wayne did a quiz, which kept his interest and he wrote all the answers...then the trains, dolls museum and slavery exhibition...Wayne didn't know what a slave was...but didn't like the idea of being one when he found out lol
Grandma and Grandad ariived and we went to the adventure playground and then to the walled gardens which we've never done before..MUM....they were lovely though and we saw tadpoles and newts in the ponds and went to the bog garden under the gunnerer (spelling !!??) I remember it from when I was little, like big rhubarb...will blog a pic. The hut had been burnt down in March...criminal damage...how could they!!??
Then to the cafe for a drink and we were starving...but too late for grub so the folks called for chips and we met up at Uncle Jacks to scoff them.
Home to do a little work...but not too much...I've been so lazy this weekend...lovely....and about time
On the Tre Ysgawen Hall front...got the details and it's cheaper than I thought and you get £100 credit for treatments, and you get 3 free guest passes...which would normally be £10 a guest... and you get 20% off some stuff and 10% off others....can I resist????? and got a reply from the pilates woman saying come along...she has similar rib problems to me....Ron thinks I'm having a mid life crisis....lol...he'll change his mind when I take him to the Hall....oh that's if I join??????!!!!!

Emailed earlier to find out about membership, I've worked out if I've got it right! it'll work out as £16 a week....4 hours of work...for unlimited swimming in a luxury pool, jacuzzi, steam...avoid the sauna lol...and treat the gym with care...well don't want to overdue it...I'm very tempted...see what they come back with!!!
And I've emailed the pilates woman, apparently the yoga and salsa have finished for now....but need to check I can do it......
See I am determined to get me time lol

lady of leisure
After a mad dash to get Wayne to mums, I had a fantastic day.
Swimming, steam room, jacuzzi, sauna (didn't like that too bloody hot lol)did a few miles in the gym and there was hardly anyone there. In fact for an hour I had the Spa to myself!! This was followed by a Sea of Dreams massage...full body....then lunch...and yes I was bloody starving by then!! and couldn't eat half of it....hate having allergies....
Popped to the Paloma place on the way back, log cabins you book for an hour, ones an infra red detox, ones a gym and one's a jacuzzi, saw the latter 2 and they are fab...can see a trip coming on! Might even take Ron x
Home to an empty house ( strange ) Ron had been for an mot on the car then picked up Wayne and took him to Nains where he'd had a fab time.
I was going to do some work but was so relaxed I couldn't be arsed, so put on cds and chilled......phoned Ron and he got a chinese on the way home....so no cooking either!! Although I did Rons hair and beard and brushed afterwards.....well I can't go all day without doing something menial lol
I feel like I could sleep on the spot, it's the longest time I've had to myself to relax for years....and it WILL be repeated xx

mum would be proud
just been downloading pics and had to blog this, my mum would be proud ....these are our peas..need to go get compost tomorrow so we can put them in pots, forget about them and they'll die....lol
ants and kids!!
Well after my relaxing evening, we had to put ant powder down last night, we kept seeing a few but there were loads...arghhhhh
This morning I had to brush it all up and mop as I had a newly crawling baby here!!...but gladly not seen an ant today..so hoping they're gone.
Shel came over this morning...with the avon book....must have read my mind x and new little cutie baby...ahhhh...no still not broody....lol
Shel was laughing at me....mindee yesterday is at the stage where they have a few words...and repeat....and repeat...and repeat...by the end of the day it was driving me crackers....I told Shel, even when I put him in the boot and put the sounds on I could still hear him!!......before anyone calls cssiw....I've got boot seats...I didn't bundle him in....lucky no one was here to overhear lol Funny though I was telling the mum tonight that today there's been a lot more stringing sentences...so yesterday was a test run....and the words are so clear x
Had a morning of play and trying to get kids to do fathers day cards.....managed one...the rest just wouldn't play ball...sigh
The afternoon was spent in the garden, then school
Waynes been a delight today!!!! Started with saying 'that postman pat is postman fat...then going on to sing...postman pat... postmans fat.....I wouldn't have minded but we were reversing out of the drive and 'postman fat' had just given me letters and was walking off, and all the windows were open....I drove off quick!!
And he dropped me in it today. We had one ice cream party cone the other day and S wanted it, but having 5 kids here I said no that's not fair on the others, I'll give it to Ron. Last night after tea Wayne spotted it and wanted it with 5 scoops of ice cream....so I let him as he'd eaten all his tea......but said don't tell S!!
WHAT does he do as soon as we picked up S?? She'd only just got in the car and he piped up 'I had the last party cone last night with 5 scoops of ice cream' git...must remember the rule never to tell a kid not to tell someone something....makes them keep it in the top of their mind lol
Got a fab pressie for dads birthday tonight...well I think it's fab, hope he does, all will be revealed next weds...if it comes....he shares his birthday with Sir Paul Mc Cartney, but Dads a year younger...always been a family joke....and the 'wish i had his money' comment lol....bet dads glad he's not got his ex 'trouble and strife'!
I'm off to look at tre ysgawen hall and open a spreadsheet, wondering how much membership works out per week.....I know the annual cost is ...yikes.....but if I break it down....ha ha watch this space x

me me me time
Just got back from my facial massage....lurverly...apparently my skin was congested...lol...tuts at me using soap and water and was offered a cleanser for £22...I know I'm treating myself...but £22!!!...I'll look in Shels avon book!!
Today we went to music club and did fathers day crafts and didn't do music, I wasn't doing it again and no one else offered! and I'd supplied the craft!!
Came home and played out til it rained, then school, then Wayne and S played babies which involved them using my old pram to push one another around outside, with lots of wahhhing...honestly Wayne is 5 and S is 9, but hey they enjoyed themselves!!
Then I set off for my ...me time....and what a small world, my facial was done by the wife of someone Ron works with, handy though she gave me tips for getting treatments etc and apparently the massage I had the other day which didn't undo my knots!! was because out of all the therapists, I got the one who does a mild one, got the names now of the ones that do a more intense massage...so will have to go back lol
I came back and I'd promised Wayne an extra story if he'd been good for Daddy...and he had....but he spent the whole time while I was reading looking at my face trying to work out what was different......he asked me earlier what I was going for, so I explained and I said mummy would come back looking beautiful (obviously didn't work!!) he said 'will they get rid of those things??' 'what things?' I said 'those freckly things like I get on my arms' he said....
No Wayne the answer is you are already beautiful mummy!!!

phil collins
ha ha forgot...while we were in the cafe today they played my hero phil collins the whole time...am I sad or what....must be......must have a thing for balding men lol...mind you Ron had long red hair when I met him.........ha ha and I had no grey...omg I can't believe I only dyed my hair a few days ago and they're sprouting already....should I give up dyeing and just go grey??????????
oriel mon
Today we were going to the beach again but second mindees mum reminded me about a thing at Oriel Mon I'd heard about it and it was something to do with Ysgolion Meithrin...and wasn't sure if childminders were allowed...but gatecrashed anyway...well who was going to throw 3 kids out!!?? Well what a farce....parking was horrendous, we just got sat down (after walking past a building site with stone cutting...hmm nice dust for the kids...and scary noise!!) and one of mine said...'I need a wee'...so we had to trail back all round the building to find them.....
It was basically two guys singing welsh songs and lots of clapping, Wayne thought it was too noisy!!! and laid on the floor with hands on ears...sigh...mind you we bought the cd as the songs were good, all about the seasons and we've listened to it all day!!! the book that goes with it is all in welsh though so may have to get Ron to translate some....although it's probably south walian and he won't understand either!!!
It got better as when they'd finished we went to the displays, usual library, b from Twf, lang and play and kids info...all of who I know so lots of chatting..and the kids did lots of colouring and grabbing of freebies...Wayne was interested in the exhibition so I'm going to take him back on my own, there was some interesting stuff and I spotted story sacks, presumably history rather than goldilocks etc...
What a mad place to have a under 5 event though...a million pounds worth of art...crayons...felt tips and a mass of little ones!!!...and worse of all the cafe was closed!!!!
Went to Llangefni for lunch and spotted grandma and grandad...Wayne was so excited...but they didn't see us despite me knocking on the cafe window!
Dropped of one mindee and then picked up 2 more and home to play out, then school, then more outdoor play, then folks for tea.
Mum noticed our cros pals...luckily ron hasn't, I got a tinkerbell one yesterday lol
Tonight I've been downloading more stuff for the kids and photocopying fathers day stuff to take to music club tomoz....if it's ok with them...annoys me how mothers day is done without a thought but you have to be careful with fathers day...well not (annoys) but well dads are there...mind you with all this sunshine I blind forgot and have missed doing stuff with one mindee, but hopefully she'll be there tomoz so i can make up....so the rest of the week I need to think on....it's just this sunshine deters me.....................

field trip lol
Today we had a field trip...lol....listen to me...we did go and visit the largest neolithic tomb in Wales at Cable Bay...and Wayne was fascinated....we had an hour or so on the beach playing...and they found out crocs are better then buckets and spades...MY crocs...lol.....they had a fab time just enjoying the sun and the sand...the sea was a bit far out though
Had a picnic in the car boot...at their request...then home so my only mindee until school time could sleep...and she did for a bit...nice hour to myself...Wayne was watching a science channel about T rex..the dinosaur not the band...lol and someone came to collect a pram I'd put on freecycle too...Ron will be pleased more space in the garage..although his quad bits have come today so if he gets that sorted it will take over the garage...but he can't moan at me!!!
After school we played in the garden and I enjoyed the sun....spent a lot of today horizontal...lol....such a hard life being a childminder....
Mind you Mrs factor 50 has only gone and burnt her nose today....I spend half my time slapping cream on everyone and forgot myself today so my arms are slightly red too...tut tut
Waynes corker of the day...(apart from singing rudolf the red nosed reindeer this morning....he put a curse on me lol)....was when we were at the burial chamber, there was a field full of sheep..and Wayne said 'look mummy, look at those sheep, they look familiar' not sure what he meant lol...

unexpected day off........
Today i was awoken by a text at 8am...arghhhh...I'd set the alarm for 8.30...so got up...as Wayne had been disturbed and was bouncing round the bed...arghhhh
Got the cots out and brushed, mopped, went for a bath and the phone went again...mum of twins saying they weren't coming today..arggggghhhhhh...I could hvae stayed in bed.....but hey unexpected day off...nice......
Oh well at least the house was clean and I was up, we got the bouncy castle out and the sun was shining...
Ron got back from his night out...2am this time and slept on the floor...and his hips hurt...what was I saying about jacuzzis lol...
It was so nice I felt like a walk...one of my dreaded jaunts...lol....I thought it would be nice to go to Newborough...but too tight to pay the parking charge...so we parked in the forest intending to walk from there....BUT...Wayne was moaning about his legs hurting...and kept saying...are we there yet!! not even a mars bar could make him go on...so we turned back and went to Aberffraw...had a cuppa in the car...and read the tourist board...mile to the beach...and Wayne was saying...I want to go to a beach where we can just get out of the car.......
Back in the car and headed for the next one along the coast...jam packed...sigh...so to the next and got parked and it was great, paddle in the sea, Wayne was making sand angels in the sand...u know like snow angels....but with sand....he poured sand on my wet legs and down the back of my trousers...git... I laid down to enjoy the sun and he put a croc full of sand in my hair.....arghhh
Then we went to Rhosneigr for a wander, went to the beach and I threw Wayne in the sea...payback lol..then to a cafe for some grub...waited ages....and it was crap!!!
Went from there to see shel and the baby...Ron joined G in a beer or 2 and I had a cuddle with little A...broody....no chance...lol
Home late to de-sand ourselves...and I've done a tesco shop...and now I'm going to flop.....

me me me
This morning started well, Wayne didn't wake me up til 10am....Ron made brekkie...fry up...yum....I dyed my hair and defuzzed myself and had a soak in a bath with some fancy potion one of the mums gave me at christmas.....
THEN......I phoned tre ysgawen hall and booked a tranquility massage...for this afternoon...it was fab...
I told Wayne what I was doing and he went all sad and said he'd miss me....yeh like he missed me yesterday when he was with grandma...lol....I said to him...'don't you think mummy deserves a bit of time to herself?' and got a big nooooo....
Anyway I enjoyed it so much I've booked a facial next week...only cos it's on offer....like the massage....but feel a pamper day coming on...you can use the sauna, pool and jacuzzi then...
I texted shelly as I was going in to say where I was...and got grief....me me me...well yeh....it's the start of a bit of ME.....why do i have to feel so guilty about having time to myself (not because of shel) but I do.....and Ron was ...how much?? well I'm paying so who cares...
He was trying to get me to go to a Metallca concert with one of my mums...but it was £75 a ticket, plus travel to Dublin, and a hotel....amd it made me think...for that money I could get loads of treatments...and I told him...a metallica concert would mean a late night, lots of noise and when I got back I'd be tired and find it hard to cope with Wayne.....I'd rather have a relaxation break....tuts from Ron....but hey I'm a mum now not a teenager...omg am I getting old...lol
Funny, K said the other day, why don't you go out with Ron to where he goes...well the last one was outside, driving quad bikes round a track getting pissed in the dark and cold til god knows what time, then sleeping in the car....think a jacuzzi and sauna beats that slightly...lol We decided that men don't change when we have kids, women have to change.......oh I'm going on now
Anyway Ron's gone out tonight.....wonder if he feels guilty...not!!
He made tea though for when I got back...and we got the bouncy castle out today....it's ace...airflow...blows up in seconds...no aching calf muscles from pumping...and Wayne loved it x
And I'm having a corrie night...a whole week....ha ha ...I am sad and old lol...but hey no greys for a week due to the dye!!

Ron was painting the house so we watched him and the kids climbed the ladder...flat on the ground....then we took Wayne....
Went to jumpin jacks and it was quiet, shel failed to show so i sent her a text to give her stick...lol.....a whole week without my mate...I can't take it...lol
School then home to play out....
We went for a meal before picking up Wayne and it was really nice.....and Ron paid....I'm sure I saw moths fly from his wallet lol.
Wayne had a whale of a time with Grandma....they'd been on an adventure...down a public footpath...I'm still not sure what happened lol...there was talk of cow poo and Wayne wetting himself laughing...and mum was rofl trying to tell me...oh well whatever...at bedtime Wayne was laughing saying flies were on the poo and chasing Grandma but not him...the mind boggles!!!

wet
Today was wet and miserable, no chance of putting up the new airflow bouncy castle...sigh...even if it will fit in the garden...lol
The morning was spent dancing to waynes new cd, party tunes...not bad for a kiddy one....not just hokey cokey, head shoulders etc..but macarena, ketchup and strangely brown girl in the ring...not sure if that's politically correct these days lol....by track 13 I thought I was going to collapse...but the kids thought it was great and did all the moves with me....(too much going to haven)
Thank god no one over 5 was around to see me!! mind you everyone was laughing at me the other night on the trampoline...apparently it was because of my hair!! and in music club when I was pinching biscuits meant for the kids I was told I was one of them anyway!!! ehhh...oh well obviously any street cred I had has long gone...lol
Shel couldn't come as baby had to go to hospital...all ok though...phew...
After lunch Wayne went with daddy to see aunty e and uncle e and we played with blocks and I read loads of books, then after school planted some peas...which I know will probably die as I am not green fingered at all...but hey the efforts there...we've got toms and sunflowers to do too......
Tonight Wayne was a bit sad, not sure if it's the come down after all the excitement....hoping it's not chicken pox...mind you he's had it...but apparently you can get it again!!
I have printed out loads of stuff for June.... trooping the colour (which on of the mindees dads is involved in)and loads about the royal family...yawn...but it's educational, summer solstice, fathers day, certificates for childminding week and other stuff..
Talking of childminding apparently the ncma are no longer funding the icp in Wales...so basically no one can register as a childminder in wales in the foreseeable unless they have started a course....I had a call the other day from the council about my dhc unit...they've had a bill for it and don't want to pay...well I aint paying...I only did it cos it was free...............
WHY is life always so complicated...or do I just attract problems...lol...even Ron said the other day how do I attract strange people...lol.....well it makes life interesting...................

another day
Today we went to music club and made hats with Ann and despite there being 2 barnardo workers there, Bob was missing and I ended up doing the music session...how come??? Shel reckons cos they're crap...lol...but hey she didn't see me!! She failed to turn up as her partner had her under house arrest...but yippee he's letting her out tomorrow for a visit to her local mad childminder....yes meeeeeee.....
We came home and the boys slept for a bit and Ron was cutting hedges.....before we knew it we had to go to school and then home to play in the garden.....
Rons kids were coming over tonight so he went to asda....twice in the end....I was NOT doing it all on my own this time.....I even made him dish up....and he and dd washed and dried which was nice....mind you there's a roasting tin lurking in the sink...lol
He phoned me to say there'd be another one for tea...WHAT....it was ds's girlfriend and she was really nice...poor thing having to meet Ron...lol...and meeee...turned out though she has been doing work placement with a childminder I know...small world
Wayne was excited about seeing them and they brought him some great books, read them all tonight...but thankfully tonight he went to bed in a calmer frame...yeh mummy vibes not daddy vibes...lol so hopefully he'll have a good sleep tonight
In other news one of the mindees (who was at the party) has chicken pox, so may have a few off in the next few weeks, apparently it takes up to 21 days to come out and is infectious 2 days before the rash comes out...so no avoiding that then....
I went up to the attic tonight and got Waynes baby book out...so funny....comments about lack of sleep....cot being useless...and a few tears as I found a letter from late gran...Wayne was fascinated...I also found a file of pics he'd done in 2005, a few from alder hey which I've kept out to file with his other work...
I also found a project I'd done in school on twins....think I'm going to try and find them on facebook, or friends reunited...they may not be interested but it was a study on them when they were 5....bizzarre
Not sure if I've mentioned this before but saw a fortune teller years ago (which I think is a load of crap)...or did....she said she could see me with lots of kids around me (just after I'd found out I couldn't have any)she could see twins and liverpool....how right she was in a way...surrounded by kids,twins too, liverpool (she said, after I told her how wrong she was, could be for treatment) but despite me not wanting fertility treatment Wayne ended up there anyway....funny old world.....
We came home and the boys slept for a bit and Ron was cutting hedges.....before we knew it we had to go to school and then home to play in the garden.....
Rons kids were coming over tonight so he went to asda....twice in the end....I was NOT doing it all on my own this time.....I even made him dish up....and he and dd washed and dried which was nice....mind you there's a roasting tin lurking in the sink...lol
He phoned me to say there'd be another one for tea...WHAT....it was ds's girlfriend and she was really nice...poor thing having to meet Ron...lol...and meeee...turned out though she has been doing work placement with a childminder I know...small world
Wayne was excited about seeing them and they brought him some great books, read them all tonight...but thankfully tonight he went to bed in a calmer frame...yeh mummy vibes not daddy vibes...lol so hopefully he'll have a good sleep tonight

happy birthday to wayne x
Well today was the official birthday, started well, took 3 kids and Ron to the playhouse and met k and j there. Had lunch there and the kids had a great time.
Took 1 to nursery and picked up 2 more then home to play out and do the school pick up.
Ron went for an mot for his bike...that's where it went downhill....he went from there to see a mate and got back in time for tea...like he does!! Trouble was I was doing a roast turkey for tea for us and the folks and bro (thinking Ron would be here to help me)...couldn't get to the garage for roasties...waiting for Ron....put the turkey in before school as he wasn't back and it was cooked too early...then when they all arrived mum got the pots and veg going and I blind forgot about the roasties as i was still working...and we ended up having to wait half an hour for them...and we were hungry!!
My bro was also outside having a fag in front of mindee and mum arriving...nobody had told him it's a no smoking zone when working....then I had to go picking up stumps all round the house incase someone eats one tomorrow!!
Anyway Wayne got more pressies while we were waiting for tea...and the spiderman weblaster went down well...ran out of web though..lol and the robbie rotten dress up resulted in Wayne prancing around like robbie rotten and impersonating the talking and singing on the periscope...hilarious
Waynes gone to bed crying, he was so tired and all the excitement is just too much....I managed to console him but then he started going on about going in the telly with scooby doo to help solve mysteries....his mind is racing with all his new stuff and he just won't switch off....bless...be glad to get back to normal...and work out where all the new toys will live!!!

Today we went to tesco to get a red power ranger with Waynes birthday money..and had lunch...and we saw the man from foel farm...they couldn't believe he was in tesco...lol (it's that ...he belongs in foel farm thing)
Went to foel farm and popped to the alpaca shop to seek something unusual for shels baby, came out with a bear...he spun me a yarn (although denying it) about being birth bears...but I was sold as they were soooo soft and well not the usual tesco teddy lol....I was greeeted like a long lost pal...nice but corny...lol
Did the usual at foel farm apart from seeing a shire horse with a hat and Wayne cuddling a guinea pig and calling it red ranger and seeing cockerels in the sand pit!...lol then school pick up and home to play in the sun...and do a cake for S who was 9 last week...and bubbles and party poppers...much to her embarrassment...lol
After tea did Waynes pressies as tomorrow will be hectic and he could enjoy them tonight....he loved them....and is probably still not asleep as he's soo excited...
