Saying of the week...

May the best of your past,

will be the worse of your future...

Thank You...

I would like to say thank you for mine and Steven's lovely hand made cards we received this year. They are all stunning, so thank you so much and hope you and your families had a lovely Christmas and New Year and have a FAB 2012...

Saying of the week...

You smile, other's smile;

soon there's miles and miles of smiles and life's worthwhile.

Box of Delights

Steven's young carer Natalie, who takes him out on Monday and Thursday evenings, not only gave us both a Christmas present each, but also make us some chocolates..


and yes they tasted as good as they looked, they were yummy...


As she handed them to me, she said she had put them in a pretty box as she knew I would find a use for it when we've finished the chocolates.



Can guess what I did with the box?

well you will just have to wait and see, lol...xx

New Year Resolutions

Not that I really do them, more like aims which usually include a monthly bath, which I start off with good intentions, but by March is usually out the window.

OK that doesn't sound good, but people that know me will know that Steven cannot be left on his own and he always senses if I try and have a bath after he's in bed, (the little pickle) and with hubby away all week, I don't get the chance to have them. But don't panic I do have daily showers, as they are quick, so I don't smell, honest, lol...


2012 is a little extra special year, as our very handsome son turns 21 and our gorgeous daughter gets married, so hopefully a very Happy but a little more busier than usual one.

So with this in mind, I'm going for monthly aims, rather than over the whole year, (am hoping by breaking things into smaller chucks, I'm more likely to succeed, lol)

OK so what are they...

A bath, (seeing I had loads of lush smellies for Christmas, I really must try harder, hehehe).

some form of crafting... as I've loads of kits not used, including rug making, jewellery, as well as cards, yikes and to finish the wedding invites etc...

Scrapbooking either for myself, family or for presents, even if it's only a page a month.

will blog more and reads other people's blogs

Right, will update you in 3 months to let you know how I'm going, but saying that, you will know if I've failed on the crafting side, as plan to blog my makes, lol...

Does anyone else do resolutions or like me, aims?

***Happy New Year***

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year...

and hope 2012 brings you and your love ones, good health and happiness...xxx

All over for another year....

But one of the plus things that happened this year though, was that Steven actually for the first time ever pulled the cracker with each of us on his own, (usually he has to have hand over hand with one of us). So it shows him helping out at the little farm day centre is giving him some muscle, lol.


(you can see his dad was a little worried he was going to hurt himself though, also had to smile as Steven had the all the ends with the presents and jokes, lol)

Anyway it's all over for another year, we had a lovely but sort of different Christmas, with my mum staying over for a few nights and my daughter and her fiancé being here both evening, which was lovely we even played a few board games, which we don't get chance to do normally.

Steven was a little confused with his nana being here when he went to bed and woke up, but I think he coped very well to be honest. Think it was more me that had to get used to having someone else saying in the house, I couldn't really relax, silly I know, but I'm so used to it being just the 3 of us or when hubby is working away, just the 2 of us, lol.

Mum went home this afternoon and we had dinner round my daughters which was extra nice, as they waited on us, hehehe. Anyway after Steven went to bed this evening, it was chill out time on the settee, watching what we want, when we want and even putting the lappy on to catch up on blogs etc. lol.

Tomorrow Steven is back to his day centre as the poor animals have to be cleaned out, fed and watered (it's all right, they did have staff there over Christmas to do that). I'm lucky that where hubby is working have decided to close till next Tuesday so have him home till then, yeah. So we can do some of the house things that need both of us to do and catch up on the paperwork for the business, boo, also got Steven's paperwork too. Oh the joys of being busy when Steven is out, oh and if time, I will start sorting out all the presents from under the tree into their new homes (and if I had my way, the decorations would be slowly coming down as I really just want everything to get back to normal, lol).

Then think it will be sausage and fried onions with mash potato, veg and lots of gravy for dinner, yum, as got a little fed up with the buffet type food and roast after the last 2 days, hehehe.

I hope everyone else had a good Christmas and got some lovely pressies, (we did, were all totally spoilt as usual, hehe)...
