crap day....ha ha not!

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....

plas newydd pics

how may nice days can we have???

Today we went to plas newydd summer fair...and the weather was glorious despite the thunder last night....did I say glorious lol...well it was til it pissed it down for a looong time...we were soaked...did it matter...no...the kids were under cover watching Mr Bimbamboozle...just us oldies getting wet....I had a dora and spiderman brolly...which I shared...the kids loved it dancing in the rain with their brollies x

We cheekily had our picnic under Mr B's tent...and the kids harrassed him...he's soo good with them x

Had a really nice day today...went to foel farm, new mindee was great...and soooo cute. He and Wayne got on well...big bonus...

We had a tractor and quad ride, fed the animals, lots of sand play and the big jumper...which I went on too...great fun x

We didn't leave til late and it was a long day as I didn't finish til 6.30 and Ron's doing stocktaking so got back late too...

Had a few showers today, hoping it's nice tomorrow for the summer fair, got a few friends going too so should be good

I'm off to put my pics on....I'm shattered.....

omg how could I forget x

Wayne swam in the big pool today, still with armbands but he did 4 widths...he was resisting...but after doing so well at haven I insisted he try..and he was sooo pleased with him self....so had a magazine and choccy on the way home for doing so well xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

pics of Holyhead Festival

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
Debs

work rest and play

Today I was workin...and we went to pili palas again!!! at Waynes request...he loves the bouncy castle...and it was handy as it's not too far from mums so I dropped him off there after to have a day of fun x

We came home and played outside then they went at 4 and Ron and I headed for the hall...we had a nice couple of hours killing ourselves lol...I did 30 lengths and Ron did gym then a few lengths...and ended with a jacuzzi then off for a meal which was lovely....

Picked up Wayne who was tired but had being doing allsorts and had a fab time x

Home late and Wayne had gone to bed saying he doesn't want to go swimming or to the holyhead festival tomorrow...not even when I mentioned vikings and burning boats...poor mite he's shattered...hope he has a good sleep....cos more fun tomoz xxx

now I'm old...........

omg I need to stop going on facebook and doing crap quizzes!! I even got a tape measure to do one...I'm 171 cms...blah!!

Today we went to p palas to meet with friends...then to see A as he was 4..Waynes cousin...then home and had new starters mum round for paperwork....decided to photocopy everything tonight and the printer went beserk...again....only printing half a page so ended up scanning, then printing and that worked...WHY???

Wayne and I played lots of games tonight...connect 4, tellytubbys...not sure what...and board games..Wayne just cheats!! and I still win lol

This morning we were watching tv and an ad came on for Now 70...Wayne liked the songs..lol and me...he was singin the other day 'there's nothing sweet about me' but hey everything is babe...so we got it in asda and it occured to me I've got Now 7 on tape...recoreded for me years ago...how old do I feel???? Wayne was so excited when we played it and the ting tings came on...rofl

Work again tomoz...hee hee more fun xxx

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

clas

made it today at last..although it was locally in someones house as it's the end of the camp we failed to go to......well when i say in the house, outside and it's been a glorious day...I was sat there thinking...WHY hadn't we made the effort to camp, although it's only today I'm feeling recovered from the weekend!!

Had a lovely day sat chatting, Wayne played ...eventually ...and got on well with S's boys, we're hoping to meet up over the summer so should be good x

I had a henna tattoo, although not sure if it will show up, it's supposed to darken by tomoz, but I had to leave before it was oiled ...so we'll see....

Tonight Ron went cutting hedges and Wayne and I sat playing for a bit. I've given him the choice of doing whatever he likes tomoz as it's our last day off...he wants to play cards 10 times, find his daphne figure and go for a walk on a local public footpath!! We'll see if he changes his mind!!

I had a call this moring from a lady needing emergency childcare tomoz, I have very unprofessionally ignored the call...I will call her back...but it's our last day off tomoz and I've already got myself back to 6 days a week over the next 4 weeks...so thought..NO...BE STRONG...money isn't everything...helps with the bills though !!!!

I'm tired.....

Lazy day today, didn't get up til 11 and felt crap all day...too much sleep lol

Ron did a fry up with lots of digs about me being lazy...

Spent the day pottering, washing, mopping, Ron did the grass and replaced the window in the summerhouse I smashed!

Had a visit from potential new mindee, starts Monday hopefully, so much for time off!

Folks for tea and showed them the holiday pics and vids and Wayne showed off!!!

Omg I must be tired...shortest blog ever!!

HAVEN

omg what was I saying about 3 days off a week with wayne!! although I'm off this week, I've had texts from mums and an enquiry today, she's coming over tomorrow..will mean i don't get the days off...but money in the bank...oh the joys of self employment!! I've decided though if I do take this one on I will save some of the money towards the october holiday...so Wayne benefits in the long run...plus he knows the boy and he lives close by...so he will have fun x

Anyway

Haven...was good...well apart from Ron having man flu..and neckache...so didn't do swimming...

Trying to think of highlights.....

Wayne had his first photo done on his own with Rory the Tiger

Wayne swam in the big pool for the first time...still with armbands...but at least his confidence is growing....he did fab x

Wayne danced on the dancefloor...and the park ...and the bed....he usually shys away...although I said sod it this time and went off doing agadoo and the other mad dance ones...one night I had Wayne in my arms to encourage him...he's getting tooo big for that...I span him round and he loved it x He and daddy lol at me though...dancing with the kids....well I enjoyed it xx

Omg just thought of one, came out of swimming and Elvis was singing outside...he's alive...lol......no shouldn't lol....we sat and watched...and sang...and Wayne was not impressed...we found out why....he started crying saying Elvis was dead..bless x
The guy was fab though....it was really surreal....

The chalet was ok...bit musty....crap shower

The food was ok....too much bloody chicken on the menu

Our fave funstar trigger has gone....sigh...but hey we've got a replacement...Wayne...he got a funstar t shirt and kept saying we had to do what he does and get on the dancefloor...so cute...I remember sds saying he wanted to be a funstar when he was younger....funny when you get older you realise it's a bloody hard job...but good fun I bet x

Oh and last night it was 3D Aladdin...new show...we got the glasses and enjoyed the first half...did I say we...Wayne was terrified...spiders coming towards him...sigh...so had to leave....ended up doing a quiz instead...lucky we're not there for the hulk!!

Oh and in my usual way i managed to get free day tickets for this week...so thinking of going for the day later on in the week...not sure if Wayne will be confused though..not staying the night....I've got 10 tickets though so got some to share...I hadn't realised it's only £5 a person to go for the day...which although it's a bit of a drive....well worth it if we go on the right day and get 2 shows, swimming...and a fix lol....well it's cheaper than stopping there!!!

Right I've gone on enough.............................pics next

one more sleep

Today we stayed home all day...waiting....

Had a call from Ron early to say the electrician was coming to finish off...from ...must be 2 years ago...yeh...noo...we'll get a bill....oh no...not a problem...he never showed!!

Did playdoh, drawing, playing inside, playing outside...Shel and her 2 came over and we had a good natter...won't see her for a while now...she's away from tomorrow til a week on Monday...arghhhh...what will I do....thank god for texts lol

Tonight I put all the outdoor toys away, packed the car..and everything fits...phew...can't get the double pram in for tomorrow but 'just' fit the single one...so we'll manage jumpin jacks.....I've cleared the washing, brushed, mopped, changed the bed, shaved my legs...very important lol.....had thought of going swimming tonight, but Ron was working late....so failed...no matter...swimming saturday in the rory pool X

Now i'm going to have a bit of a play on the pc as that will be the other thing I'll miss...but hey....we'll be having fun in the tiger club this time tomoz...yehhhhh

My school pick up asked me today if I liked Rory..I said yeh annd started singing and doing the moves.....you should have seen her face..well she is 9....I forgot...the littlies just think I'm amazing lol

Talking of which (school pick up)...looks like I'm not having her in the hols...so money down....booo...but it means I should be getting my 3 days a week off with Wayne...fantastic x got lots we want to do..was looking at coach trips the other day to places, might try one, and we've found lots of fun events over the summer....one mum asked me what was going on over the summer tonight..I'm her oracle apparently...and Shel's mail....think I may type them all out and photocopy them to give to everyone...

One more sleep...if Wayne ever sleeps...talk about excited!!!!

sun hols

well I forgot about the sun tokens for the next hols...only got one code, shel got me more but was one short ...so after 13 attempts..guessed the code word and we're off again end of october...will mean having to come back to work the same day...and having to cancel 2 ...but who knows by then if things will have changed!!!

shattered...............

Today we went to the music club end of term party..and it was crap....we had music on...that skipped...a talk about health and safety and getting non spill cups for tea!! and chocolate biscuits...wow!!!

Mindees were monkeys...well one was...his bro fell asleep and he shouted and woke him up...then I got him back to sleep in the pram and bro jumped on him when I turned my back for a mo and woke him up again!!! Then when they were both due to sleep they only did half hour and were grumpy...sigh..

We went to the bank and to asda then school and out to play.....

Tonight we have been packing...all done apart from last minute stuff...got to load the car tomorrow night...and just realised if I drop 2 off on the way will be taking two extra car seats..sigh...oh well should have the room ...although not sure as Wayne has two binbags full of haven teddies...and he wants to buy more....NOOOOOO

He made me laugh tonight...he FINALLY let me cut his hair...kept the curls at the back though...and he was in the bath and started raising his legs up and down..and said 'mummy do i look like I'm doing pilates??' lol....yeh and better than me!!! oh to be young and flexible..although...no actually..then you end up old and clicking out of place!!

I'm shattered............................................

farm...

Well I went with the rhyme and she loved it...sent another one too...but won't embarass myself with my crap poetry any further !!

We went to foel farm and they've got a new attraction, a giant bouncer like greenwood, about time they got something new there...and what a hit it was...we only had 2 hours, did the tractor ride and they spent the rest of the time on the jumper while shel and I sat in the slight sun....moans when I said it was time to go, they hadn't done the quad etc....but no time

Had a txt off sds, doing a course and work experience at pc world, sounds right up his street, hope it goes well, will have to invite him on one of our jaunts over the summer, if he can face it lol...

Did my usual drop offs, pick ups then home to play out in the sun....

Folks for tea and my grans eye didn't look tooo bad....

I'm really tired tonight, but looking forward to Friday..and even better now as I'm dropping mindees off at mums work so will be on the way at 3.30pm, although Ron will be out on the van and may not be back early...no matter..we will sit and wait and hijack him as soon as he gets back x I've even worked out that if we grab the keys when we get there...go straight for tea and not go to the chalet we may even make the 6pm show....ha ha we'll see x

god I go on!!

Yehhh not doing the school pick up friday, so we can set off at 4...hopefully x

Today we went to pili palas, baby a was a bit under the weather and slept most the day and the others were angels xx

I had my usual rush tonight to get to pilates, then my first proper gym session...owwwww....then swimming but jibbed after 6 laps and went in the jacuzzi x

And my pilates teacher was on crutches, torn something!!! lol

Rushed blog tonight as I'm making a card for shel, birthday tomorrow and trying to think of a funny happy birthday text to send her...and I need to wrap her pressie...poor girl....I didn't know what to get her...so got a thing that fizzes in the bath, a plant thing...and she will also receive one of my tomato plants..and a mug...lol

I just thought of this rhyme and Ron was rofl...I thought it was good...especially as we have an ongoing ..she's younger than me....yeh but like I said to her you're as young as you feel....46 for me then...and her...lol...she said she needed to find a younger model....lol...ha ha me too...and one that is devoted to ME!!!

Happy birthday to my mate
I think you're really great
I'm just really jealous
Cos you're only 28!

Perhaps I'll come up with something better by tomoz x..

omg..was that really me lol

5 days til the hols................

Omg, anyone got anything for bad dreams?? Wayne's having them most nights...last night daddy was covered in red spiders....it's hard when he tells me...it's one thing you can do nothing about x

Anyway Ron came home at 10am, been sailing at 6am and had to come back due to a low tide...I think!!!

So as punishment for peeing me off I took him swimming to Holyhead, shopping, then to the park...lol

I got some storage boxes today to store all the photo albums in under the bed....we've got loads and I'm on declutter mode at the mo...even attacked the airing cupboard earlier....

We came home and had tea and now while I'm blogging I'm scanning pics from parties for him!
Omg forgotten what party animals we were....I can't stay up much past midnight these days!!

I've also asked my school pick up if I can be off Friday, we're off to haven and I'll be able to finish at 4pm then...instead of 5.30pm...that bit of time will make all the difference...especially as we're going half board and tea's 5 til 7pm ...fingers crossed she can sort something out...if not, no matter, we shall get chips and watch Rory xxx I can't wait....and Wayne is soooo excited......

pah

Today Wayne went swimming with Daddy, then to Grandmas, Ron was going to pick him up after going to see mates...but got a call to say...sorry ask! if it was ok if he went to the flat for beers.....and I even got the opportunity to pick him up when I picked up Wayne at teatime...NOOOOOOOO...you want to get drunk with your mates there's no way I'm picking you up so you can belittle me in front of your mates...result last time....so I ended up picking up Wayne and Mum made me tea x oh and I popped for a swim on the way xx

Gutted though as there had been talk of an indian with shel tonight...pah

Anyway I took the twins to the market and bank....then they slept on the way back and I went to pick up an office chair from freecycle..very comfy too x the bloke was one of a kind though lol....his message to me was ...ok it's 11.14am...pick it up NOW...then directions..so I did!! Also got harrassed by a guy on the market...WHY ME???

Well I've lost the plot now..Ron just phoned...going sailing tomorrow at 6am...still drinking...he'll be asleep all day...or throwing up...oh well...the plan tomorrow on my day off was Wayne time...swimming and whatever else he wants to do...so no change there.....

Lost interest now lol................got some intersting news though...a mate who NEVER wanted kids is pregnant..and was trying...strange old world......

sporty....

Today Wayne came out of the bedroom all ready for a run...apparently...he had his new trainer socks on and tracksuit...and headband..lol

While they were playing I sorted out my mass of photos to go in the childminding album and did the wall ones.....

We left early to go shopping for the shredder after checkin them out on argos and the 2 mindees fell asleep on the way...sigh...so we sat and waited for them to wake up..I did manage the bank as I could park right outside and see them in the queue though

Oh as we were leaving home little o fell on the step and got a corker of a bump on his head!!

Got the shredder...and a clock...and a new swimming costume...and a tiger bin....and a sportacus dress up suit...sigh...so much for not spending, the dress up was reduced to £7 though...couldn't resist, especially as Wayne is being sporty at the moment!

Went for lunch in tesco and then to jumpin jacks...lots of play and little o was like a stuntman...climbing, falling...didn't get hurt again...but he has no fear and I'm like a wreck, trying to let him do things but at the same time trying to stop him getting hurt!!

Home and when they'd gone Wayne and I got the shredder out and shredded a bin bag of paper...then we got the encaustic art out, not done it for ages...great fun x

Wayne said today....'mummy I've got the biggest mouth in the whole world' ...yes dear I know...lol...he's also the cutiest little rugrat xx

aching, breaking, hurting x

Today I woke up with an aching leg, got cramp last night...not had cramp for years....it still hurts now!! Must be all this bloody exercise..lol

Had a quiet morning of play then 2 arrived for lunch and I set off with 4 to Llangefni to have a mooch round the market and get ink from Asda...I'd been updating my pics of the kids on the wall...not done for ages and the ink ran out!!

Had a pleasant time and bought some bath sheets as ours are threadbare, a dot to dot book for Wayne (which he's already completed)and socks and undies..and they had ice cream in a cafe. They were all good and the only downside was one wanted a wee....4 times!!! we were only there 2 hours...and toilets are scarce...hence the cafe....kids!! Couldn't be helped though x

We've been looking at pics as Rons mate wants some for a thing he's doing of the botswana parties...don't ask..lol....it's been going for years started on llandonna beach, but I think it got stopped...I stopped going when I had Wayne..Ron still goes every year!!

Anyway we came across pics of Wayne in alder hey when he was 2 and one in particular showed his bandages...he had to have his willy reconstructed...eeekkk...Wayne piped up 'I remember that Mummy, it really hurt when they chopped my willy off' I was ...literally... rofl...bless him...he didn't even recognise himself at first...then there were loads of questions...what's a catheter? why am in a wheelchair? Funny really he's forgotten, but it brought it all back to me....I was on the hypospadias website last week seeing if I could help anyone, tend to check in now and again as I made friends on there with people in the same position, or who had been there and it really helped me x

Anyway Ron was working late tonight so Wayne and I inspected the drains as there's a funny smell..and found nowt, printed and cut out loads of pics...but no patience to put them in the album and on the wall...and Wayne had a whale of a time shredding...until he got paper stuck...I tried to pull it out with him peering over...and yes...I smacked him in the face...he was howling...then 5 minutes later he went off with a bag of shredded paper pretending to be santa with his sack and fell flat on his face....oh and we broke the shredder and weren't even half way through...mission for tomorrow...not that I want to spend at the mo as my money's down this month but I can't bare to look at the bag of paper for the foreseeable....

nice day

Had a quiet morning and one slept...then we went for petrol so another could and met shel in the playhouse for lunch and lots of play....they had a fab time and we had a good natter...inbetween playing on the slides and crawling round after the kids.
It's a bit of an extravagance going there...must have spent £20...but we all had a fab time x

Home to make tea for folks...no school pick up..so got my paperwork done and only mum and dad came...Gran feeling worse the wear from yesterday and not wanting Wayne to see her like that..although she made it shopping with shades me thinks x and bro was tired. Had a nice evening and me and Dad downloaded a new spam thing as I'd reached over and beyond my limit of spam!! So we'll see how it works....

Wayne went to bed late and said 'I don't like it when grandma and grandad come late' he...like most kids... isn't good with change of routine...it was wrong day...no time to play before bed and he's still clingy after the weekend bless x
Told him we'll go swimming on 'our lazy day' he's been asking all week...and he's just realised we're going to see Rory soon...so that'll really help lol!!

Can't wait though....got 6 days off in a row....wowwwwww.....just doin a fri to mon at haven...but got half board again...so a few days of no cooking...yeh...then hoping to go to the home ed camp and try out the new tent...but if the wethers like this!!!! It's like winter here tonight...rain...wind...cold....not happy camping weather...there's time though x

horrid henry

I'm here again...just been rofl telling Ron....we were in the car today and Wayne had a grumpy face on..so I opened the window, grabbed the grumpy face and threw it out and shut the window quick and told Wayne it had flown away...he was giggling...and we were both lol...then further along Wayne opened the window and grabbed out and put his grumpy face back on...clever little rugrat..this continued on my run...then it went to...what are the lines for on the road mummy...so as I was driving I explained about double white etc and why we couldn't overtake the damn slow tractor...at one point I could have but decided to stick to the rules so as not to confuse Wayne lol...need to get the highway code though as had no idea about some markings and just blagged it.....

Rons just told me too that Wayne got the paintbrushes (in water) in the garage and flicked them everywhere..and on my pram!!! then attacked the washing line with a stick and mashed my pegs!! Wayne did say early he was mischievious like horrid henry...little bugger......think I'll have to stop him watching that..although just said to Ron, Wayne didn't watch tv at all tonight...I could live without tv but Ron and Wayne are addicted....mind you...look at me on the pc again....supposewe all have our things................

junk email driving me nuts

I have been getting sooo much and have started checking online with orange to filter them...started on Saturday and the limit of addresses you can block is 100, I'm already on 87!!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

why don't kids come with a mute button?

Wayne has not stopped chattering today...he usually talks a lot but today...arghhh....here's a sample....
'Mummy do you know what crocodiles eat?'
'No Wayne what do they eat?'
'Peas'...eh!!
'Yes mummy and they eat books and bookshelves, socks, dresses and guitars oh and teddies'

What????????????

Today we were one short again and had a quiet morning playing out, then the drop offs and pick ups and went to see Shel...yeh adult conversation...omg between O and his 'Debbie look' and constant repeating and Wayne and his jibberish it was great to have some adult jibberish..lol

There to school then bravely took 4 to asda...they were great, all helped and we had 3 in the trolley and S pushed...god I've got them well trained! Mind you we came out with raspberry ripple ice cream, a pineapple and choc crispies which weren't on the list!!
A man stopped me and said 'I was just thinking you were young to have all those kids so close together' ...'then I read your back'...wearing my pritchards playtime jacket...bless him....moi young....we had lots of ooing and ahhing though at them xx

Home to play out then all home and Ron and Wayne cut the hedges while I was supposed to be doing my end of month...but not in the mood so did quizzes on facebook and replied to emails....great though as Wayne continued his chattering with Daddy...but Daddy couldn't hear!! Wayne kept popping in with updates of what they were doing...I don't care.....leave me alone!!

Wayne tried the pineapple tonight and loved it and the plan is to make smoothies with it...if I remember to get the liquidiser out later!

My gran went for a biopsy today on her eye and neck, 5 stitches in her eye and one in her neck....eek...waiting for results now...told Wayne so I could warn him that when they come for tea tomoz she may look a bit bruised and he said 'Don't worry mummy I'll hide and not look at her' er no wrong answer son lol kids xxxxx

I've found my inner???????

Today went well with the new starter, only tears when she woke up, probably wondering where she was...and who I was!!

We went to pili palas and it was stange just me Wayne and A, not the usual crew of us chatting....I was lonely...boo hoo...so was Wayne...no one to play with...although that didn't stop him having fun x not even shel to text as shes feeding 24/7..like u do and had a few problems..so don't want to hassle her x

School run and home to play in the garden, then rush off to pilates...and the gym personal trainer! Omg...the pilates went well, I actually felt my inner...something!! not sure what...still can't breathe right though, although my trainer Nick explained it in a different way after and it made more sense...we'll see.....

I had to stop one of the exercises as I was in agony...my bloody rib went last night...worse time yet...I was crying with the pain...and I have a high pain threshold...when I had Wayne the nurses were insistent I needed pain relief but I just did my breathing...not pilates breathing though luckily!!

The classes finish in a few weeks for the summer so I am going to carry on the gym...if it doesn't kill me lol...and try and find a class thats at a better time...6pm is tooo much of a rush...I get a butty for tea and have to run out the door as soon as the last kid leaves...not ideal!

Anyway Nick is going to print out my plan...I forget it all..we just went through it all tonight and he showed me exercises on a ball!! with weights!!, which equipment to use... and next week we're going to do it for real!!! arghh...he may not see me for dust!! Good though to have someone to explain it all...and freeeee...he took my blood pressure and said if I go when he's on I can borrow his heart monitor...in case I have a heart attack?? lol...no apparently I have to ...oh I don't know...sure it will all become clear....

Then I went for a swim and had a soak in the jacuzzi........and tonight I must get an early night...I'm shattered x

ooh and Ron just popped in to say do I want a ham baguette...yeh I'm bloody starving!

weekend................

Yesterday we had a lie in..ish...fry up then took Wayne to mums while we went to the hall....Ron loved it....eat your words mate...after all the slagging I've had..lol..at first he was like...it's ok...but later admitted the gym was fab ..and the rest...he can see now why I joined..and actually said I deserve it!! Not only did we enjoy the spa but I'd booked a special offer, facial with a free tranquility massage...Ron pulled a face at the facial..but again...loved it...see I'm not mad lol

We went from there for a meal and made it for the two for a tenner...tight as ever lol and it was lovely....but then.....he saw his mates...knew we shouldn't have gone there!! we just nipped to see them on the way out and I went and sat outside having a quiet huff!! 'can I have another pint Debs?' Yes....NOOOOOOOOOOOO...we're having time together..he did deck it quick as I didn't go back in....not sure if it's me being daft...but I'd arranged all that nice stuff for him and didn't need to hear him lol with them about 'did you get extras' blah ...I might have found it funny the day after...but well it just spolit the day for me...and I bloody told him too...and he was sorry...like they are...bloody men....

Picked up wayne and took him to nains....he'd had a great time with Grandma and missed me...which unfortunately results in him being clingy the next day and playing up...he wouldn't eat his tea tonight...and we had loads of tears today for silly things...I had a talk with him and said about how he's lucky as most children don't spend as much time as he does with their mummies...like all the kids we have...and how he has a great time with grandma..and all that...he seems better tonight...

I think he's feeling the effect of me having me time....but I've done 5 years of Wayne time....and with home educating him it means I'm with him 24/7 and I need a break.....no wonder people take the easy option and pack them off as soon as they can lol but thats not me.....and to be fair although I'm with him all the time he does really well as he shares me most the time...he keeps saying mummy when we get a day off and daddy's not here can you take me swimming...and he wants to go to holyhead..not llangefni like he does with daddy...so me thinks I should do it soon....

Anyway today we had the twins and wayne didn't want to go swimming.... as he'd miss me...so we all went and I took the twins on a tour of the centre and we sat and watched Wayne and Ron swim...lunch in the cafe....bloody awful!!! then home to play

I've got my 6 month old new starter tomorrow and the other one has got chicken pox, so hope it all goes well x Waynes really excited...he loves babies as they don't play with his toys....he sings nursery rhymes to them and dances and entertains them....funny how he does just what I do....it's soo cute

Well after all that moidering I'm off to facebook someone..................

nice day

Mission accomplished...well sort of...got the compost...nearly killed me putting it in the car..trying to fit round the pram and kids...then we went strawberry picking...oh oh...compost on top of pram!! I had Wayne and a 2 year old and 8 month old so had to get the pram out!!

Anyway they had a great time and we got two punnets..and a few raspberries mixed in!

Went to the cafe for a drink and snack...and sit in the sun!

They slept on the way to Holyhead and then it was jumpin jacks...quiet but good...went to the cafe for chips...very healthy lol...and a lady I know came in ..she was looking for me.....wanted childcare for September...oh no I'm full...so gave her shels number and cis and she was happy x

School then home to make dens in the garden....S was asking if she was born before Wayne...I said 'yes...you were 4 when Wayne was born'.....'how do you know that????' she said...ha ha...sweet...Wayne said...'my mummy knows everything' oh you cutie pie...I know nothing my love xxxx

Tonight I did paperwork for new starter...loads of photocopying....then did Augusts invoices...as suddenly thought...the ones that don't come in the summer but pay a retainer...need their invoices before the holidays start...

the reasons I love kids and my job...long again

Today the plan was strawberry picking...but due to this erratic weather!! decided against it..and headed for Asda and the market to get compost for the tomatoes and veg from the market....stopping to hunt at mona for a lost shoe on the way...chatting at mona, saw K and J at asda...chatting...(she had me teary telling me what a wonderful friend I was and how nice I am to everyone xx)...anyway got in the car to go to the market and s piped up...I need a wee...back into asda and time just went and we had to get back...no compost...no veg...sigh....

Other 2 arrived and we had lunch and played out then after school we re-potted the tomatoes...s's dad and bro turned up early and joined in and then they all had ice cream...even dad...lol....nice that people feel welcome here....then 5 went home with their tomato plants..we're left with 3 and the rest have been attacked with a fork by o when I wasn't looking...so I've put them back on the windowsill to see what they do!!

Was going to re pot the peas but ran out of compost so mission for tomorrow...don't know why I'm bothering..they'll all die...but hey the efforts there

Tonight I decluttered the kitchen ...there was paper everywhere after yesterday...I need to sort out all my booklets and educational leaflets...not sure how!! or when???

and now for the reasons I love kids and my job

Wayne and S had a great time in the garden making petrol for the tractor out of flowers and leaves and sand!! and then they were making a den...I love just sitting and listening to them.....tea in hand lol

One of the mindees lost his first tooth last night...had his sis today and was told about the tooth fairy...but then she said ' I don't think it was a fairy'...'who do you think it was then?' I asked....'A person' was the reply...so we got the tooth fairy book out and convinced her lol..

I was listening to them playing this morning...drinking tea again...and they had a doll and Wayne said...'that's Jesus'...S replied ' but where does he live?' and Wayne said...Jesus lives in a dvd'...I was rofl...well quietly round the corner...nearly choked on my tea x

We were having lunch today and O is ...well...snotty...Wayne pipes up....
'O is still beautiful Mummy, even though he's got a really snotty nose!'

Despite his snottiness after his amazing walking with a car last friday today he was standing alone...only for a few seconds ..but did it loads...due to lots of cheers and encouragement from the rest of us...his face is a picture...well like they are when they acheive...big smiles...gorgeous x

And I've found a new way to use pilates in my daily life...I was pushing O in the pram today to get him to sleep (never thought I'd do that but having 4 here no choice!!) and I was doing the usual pushing back and forward turned to the side..bad posture...and thought about body alignment and stood pushing with my body totally aligned and feeling my inner core...lol...not really but...oh god I don't know what I'm on about ...just demonstrated to Ron and he lol....I think I really must be having a mid life crisis....or perhaps it's the lack of adult company...come back Shel ...I need you x

pics of painting and gwyl plant

gwyl plant

Had a great morning at Gwyl Plant in Mona...kiddies festival...arrived to very tall people on stilts...balloon modelling, circus skills, band, loads of crafts, stalls...came home with loads of educational stuff, water bottles, posters, t shirts...it goes on....one of the mindees got piccie taken by local paper in the sand pit...hoping he'll be in the paper next week...bizzarre really as me and Wayne were in the paper 2 years ago...same photographer...and in the sand!

Went from there to llangefni for lunch ...then mindees slept and it was time for school.

Asked Wayne what the best bit was and he said...'the ballooons and seeing S'(the school pick up)...bless

Did some of the fire service booklets and it was time for everyone to go...

I have spent hours on sorting out 0spam...sent by Dad...and at last sorted it...was a bit worried as gone from 30 + emails a day to none!!...found out I had to add the ok ones..sigh...and lots of complications inbetween!! as per! but worth it

Also been on facebook...had a few more friend things...mad...mostly cousins that I never see...what a great way to keep in touch...I seem to lose touch with people working long hours...blah...mind you spent an hour on the phone to shel tonight...not seen her this week and she's blowing me out again x I remember it well....new baby...no life lol....never again!!..ha ha...G told her off we'd been on the phone an hour and 2 mins and she had to put the phone down and ring me back...not even worth a few pence...lol....

nice morning

Today we were one short in the morning..we were going to little fishes...but i needed to go to the bank so decided to go to Penrhos and feed the ducks as it was a nice day...

On the way to get bread Wayne said lets go on the bridge they thought it was a great adventure...and ran all the way over to the railway and ferry...with me in hot pursuit....just what I needed after last night lol

We went for a walk round Penrhos and fed the ducks..and there were loads of little ducklings...ahhhh we went in the cafe for a drink...then on the beach to skim stones..or try!! and they had a great time. We collected pebbles and brought them home then spent an hour painting them...and m painted her feet...arms..then they started painting each other!! end of activity!

Then off to get 2 more and they all slept for an hour while I sat in the car trying to do my breathing!!..They all woke up at the same time and within minutes of getting them all in the house...one had pushed the other over and baby hit his head on the shelves...and bro pushed him...sigh...he had a hell of a mark on the back of his head...bad side of the job...you just feel sooo awful....but it got worse...the 'pusher' was playing in the garden and managed to hit his face and his mouth was bleeding...it soon stopped but his lip swelled...sigh sigh sigh...2 accident forms for one family...how awful can you feel!!

They all left at 5 and folks for tea...I've just done my paperwork and am doing no more...I'm tired and I still ache...this exercise is no good for you lol
