Freddo

You all know what I am talking about right. Well now there is the new freddo with the lollies inside. ah huh!! lollies INSIDE and he is bigger too. YUMMO

One little question tho, why is there a 'use by' date on the bottom??? HUH?? Its Freddo!! anyone gonna keep him lying around for long??? silly silly silly freddo making people

Big Red is GONE

lol Well the big feature wall that was double sided and painted a chilli red colour is now grey. It was one of those things that I didn't like when we bought the house. Red isn't really my colour and as it was the wall between the lounge and what I am using as my office, it just made the space inclosed and dark. So I got sick of it this week and sarted trying out test pots. But the red was so intense that I couldn't see the true colours of the test post. Thanks Nic for suggesting to undercoat the whole wall first and for helping me with the painting lol. We now have a grey wall (cement apparently) where the red was. WOW it has opened up the space and really made it lighter. Um no it wont stay 'cement' but apparently grey is the colour that will cover up red and it sure has. Shocking paint job tho LOL

Great day yesterday catching up with the ladies from coffee group. WOW the kids have all changed so much and everyones lives are so different and busy.

Right must clean as the vacuum cleaner has forgotten what the floor looks like LOL

Have a great day all

shhhhhh

don't talk too loud or the kids will find me. I am hiding out on the computer for a few secs. Not really a good choice as this is where they know to look for me LMAO. Anyway. Just wanted to say what an awesome day Saturday was. Nothing like an all day crop with great friends, lots of cuddles (thanks baby Dan) and then dessert pizza to finish off. OMG if you haven't tried the Hells dessert pizzas then you definately need to put that on your 'things to try' list. YUMMOO and thanks Andrea for my new addiction. Managed to make a 12x12 canvas advent calendar but the lollies went missing, got a layout finished and started a mini album. So all and all not bad for me. Just need to find some time to finish the mini album and I also have another to do.

Got some chrissy shopping done yesterday with Jess at kindy. Gosh doesn't time fly when you are trying to spend money and I only just made it back to school on time!! lol

I have my car back tomorrow

and the pantry shelves will be filled at some stage during the day. OMG!! 3 days without a car and no shopping of any kind!! I am not a shopper, not a person that has to shop and buy stuff, well at least I didn't think so but I am feeling the withdrawals from NOT being able to get to the supermarket!! Maybe its just that place cause thats where the chocolate is!! lol anyway tomorrow there will be food (other than packet pasta and frozen veges) in the pantry. The little red car is still sick and at the doctors but hopefully will be home tomorrow. fingers crossed.

Not sure if I should say it as I don't want to jinx them but the kids are finally getting better. Jess seems to have got her snuffles back tho. Life can continue now that we are no longer in quarentine LOL

Have an awesome time those that are going to scrapcamp tomorrow. I am so jealous and know that you will all have a fabulous time. Please don't forget to pack the gumboots and the chocolate and the .......... LOL Have a blast ladies.

SIGH!!

Sometimes little red cars just don't want to go!!

I am craving

a sweet and soft gingerbread biccie or person with some yummy sweet icing on top!! mmmmmmmmmm yep thats all I want to eat. NOTHING ELSE!! lol might just have to go see if I can make some. Jess has cabin fever and so wants to get out and play but Izzy and I don't feel much like it. Poor thing. ah well tomorrow is the weekend and daddy will be home to occupy, inbetween mowing the lawn and cutting that BLIMEN hedge. Man it grows fast and needs to be chopped every weekend. Think there will be an electric hedge trimmer in the Santa sac this year.

Well that was nasty

That tummy bug that is going round!!!!! PHEW Jess got it Monday morning about 3.30am and then spent all Monday on the couch throwing up every 30mins. She was just comming right and then yesterday morning (early hours again) Isobel and I got it. It just comes out of nowhere. You can be feeling great when you go to bed and then BAMMM!!! nasty nasty nasty. So hubby stayed home yesterday to look after us all and to play with Jess who is now a box of birds and decided that yesterday would be the day where she ate everything in site!! too funny. Anyway its a great way to loose weight and the scales were 1kg lighter this morning. Not a recommeded method tho. So today is a quiet, taking it easy day. Except of course the four loads of washing which need to be done and the carpet that needs to be attended to in Isobels room when she didn't quite make it. But we are on the mend. Hubby has decided that the power of positive thinking will work for him and he is NOT going to get it. All power to him I say and hope he is right.

So I should really be doing some chrissy cards today huh?? Good opportunity to just sit quietly while the girls are playing. Its just as well the weather is so crappy and I don't feel guilty with the tv being on alot.

Guy Fawkes

gotta love the excitment on the kids faces, the gorgeous colours and the LOUD bangs. Has anyone else noticed that they are getting louder each year (or perhaps my ears are getting older LOL). Anyway we had an awesome night. The whole street came out to light fireworks and enjoy them selves. Isobel had her first firework burn when trying to pull a sparkler out of the ground when it had finished. Her had slipped up the sparkler and she just got the end of the 'hot' bit. Nothing much but enough to make her wary of doing that again. I have never seen so many kids and so many sparklers, having so much fun!!!!!!! They were making little circles with them in the ground and dancing around them like fairies LOL too cute.

Yesterday was fun too. I was helping some friends with some 'scrapping stuff'. This morning my butt is a little stiff from all the bending and putting of papers into class kits. You ladies going to scrapcamp are going to have a blast!!!!!!!!!!! The packs look awesome and I wish I was comming too.

Unfortunately Jess decided that 3.30am was a great time to start throwing up and has been doing so since then. Not even a sip of water is staying down at the moment, so there will be no music or kindy today. She will be extremely dissapointed but I might just be able to sneak that one past her. She is cute tho. Will start talking to me at the end and then gives me a great big smile when she has finished. She is very pale and tired tho. Good news is that it is only 7.30am and I have two loads of washing on the line and another in the washing machine. 2 unexpected loads!!

Have a good week all. I had the mass panic sometime after 3.30am that I am about to miss the christmas card cheap post rate to the UK!! Maybe I can sneak making those ones today LOL
