In wales land...

I'm on my last minute hols in the land of the Wales people who speak funny :-) My new word so far is 'Heddlu' which means 'Police' lol I seem to learn a new word for emergency services each time I visit hehe

Having a great time so far. Bruce has had to work a fair bit so been keeping myself amused with little madam. But on Thursday we both made time to take little madam to the sea side :D Little madam wasnt too impressed. Sand in her words is 'dirty' and the sea again in her words is 'cold' lol There was some excitements when we found small pools of water accumulating around the rocks/sand where she liked to jump and splash, that is until she fell in and came up out the water spluttering followed by screaming in horror lol Thus concluded our time on the sand/in the sea... We spent the last part of our trip to the beach on the rocks in the sun eating our picnic followed by what we hoped would be a traditional ice cream but turned out to be foul tasting ice lollies...

I have made time to check out the Cardiff charity shops to get more stock for my business, wow it's so expensive grrrrr but I got some very nice clothes and hope they sell well. I have spent this morning getting it all listed on ebay.

The next few days will mostly consist of packing for Bruces house move. She's downgrading to a flat. Havent seen it yet but sounds nice. We have steadily been going through her mountain of stuff and my god we have boxes of bits and bobs ready to go to the charity shops. We are rapidly running low on boxes, as we speak Bruce and her bf G* are now in de tescos on the look out for more.

Little madam is having her nap at the moment so just taking this time to relax :-)

Happy 4th Birthday Mitchy-moo moos :D x x x
He has had tuna tonight as a treat lol He's now going through his OCD motions of cleaning thoroughly.

I'm just winding down now before watching 'I didn't know I was pregnant' :P

Been very busy today considering I only woke up at 12! As soon as I was up and dressed I was out the door and shopping for more clothing for my business. Today's trip was to my old haunt St Budeaux and gues who I bumped into... yes you guessed right. The other half's nutcase of a sister. I was walking outside about to go into the shop and saw her in there through the window. I stopped momentarily and debated whether or not to go in but thought that i'm going to be bumping into her, I mean we live in the same city so I walked in. I didn't look at her and in the end didn't have to worry because she deliberately walked the long way around the shop to leave so she didnt have to be anywhere near me. I'm glad in a way because I would have hated the awkwardness but at the same time all I could think was 'b*tch, I'm only ok when i'm needed to have your child live in my house because you were facing arson charges...' Breathe...
I technically bumped into her twice because when I left the shop there she was again but this time walking along side her mum on their way to get my neice from school. I only stopped to quickly chat to my mother in law and then got on the bus.

Anyway I got some good stock so i'm happy that i've had a productive day. Even got some parcels in the post too.

lol Mitchel is sat right in front of me with his love eyes :) how CUTE!

We have the kids here for the second weekend in a row. We have swapped weekends so that the kids can be in a fashion show in Bude next Friday :-) I went with them and their mum to their dress fitting and then brought little miss K and J home on the bus with little madam. They went swimming today with their Aunty S* which they really enjoyed, especially because the got to spend some quality time with their cousin little miss M*.  Little Madam thought she was going with her sisters this morning when her Aunty S turned up, bless her she got so upset so I took her into town to meet the other half for lunch and then let her go on some rides :-) She slept all the way home!
Little Miss K and J are leaving earlier than usual as it is Mothers day and we offered for their mum to come early if she wanted to have them for most of the day. I have already had my flowers/flower painting from little madam :D I also got the BEST mothers day gift EVER, well the other half bought it on behalf of little madam lol - a box of 48 creme eggs!!! :O the box is soooo heavy which does concern me slightly knowing that the weight will soon pass on to me lol Will definately have to get a fitness dvd or something!
Watching Pirates of the Caribbean at the moment (the first one) I keep laughing at all the familiar quotes (Bruce - you know the ones I mean, lol) right now we are at the part where Elizabeth escapes out the window with the bedsheets and says 'bloody pirates' :P

Ooooo here's some interesting news, it turns out that my Nan got married today! We knew they were planning to go off and just 'do it' but no one knew exactly when it would be. It was announced at our weekend away in Hope Cove. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I have to admit I did chuckle (but also sighed) when I looked at the email and the only person that was missing on the 'forwarded to' list was my dad...

It's Mitchels 4th birthday on Tuesday :D :D :D

Both cats are snuggled up next to me on the sofa fastttt asleep :-) So gorgeous!

Just waiting til midnight to play my free daily game on bingo then may aswel go to bed seeing as the other half is snoring away on the other sofa, seriously he is AWFUL to watch a film with, I can't remember when we last watched a film together and he stayed awake right to the end.... in fact the only time is when we go to the cinema! Maybe it's because he is aware he is paying for that lol

Ever heard the saying 'don't flog a dead horse'??

To whom it may concern (although lets face it, you know exactly who you are),

Thank you for s**t-stirring, it was really kind of you. Just the fact you automatically assume my previous post was directed at you just shows your insecurities. The fact you drag other people into things shows how selfish you really are.

I'm done with all of this. I don't know why you think you can say your sob stories to sherk your 'responsibilities'. You really are a sad excuse of a mother. No more letters. No more phone calls. Go deal with your 'problems' ON YOUR OWN. Be a grown up and deal with it like i've had to. It's because of selfish people like yourself that there are so many victims born into families that don't really want them.

Call it immature and selfish of me to post this for the world to see but I think I have been patient enough with you for the past 24 years of my life...

so AND so...

What to say?

The weekend is almost over. We had a nice roast cooked by the other half earlier (chicken and gammon). Last night we had a belated celebration of Little Miss J's brownie enrolment with the other halfs family. The other halfs sister (S*) has asked if she can take the kids swimming next time they are down. She wants to take little madam but we said no purely because she still hasn't EVER been and I really want it to be me and the other half that first take her. Can you believe she is coming up to 2 and a half and still hasnt ever been swimming?! The main reason was because of her operation last September. We really must make a bigger effort to go though...

We had a fantastic time with Bruce when she came to visit :-) She even treated us to a nice meal at Toby carvery, yummy! Hears hoping for a lot more meet ups throughout 2012 :-)
Im really looking forward to the Easter holiday. I am organising an easter egg hunt at mine on the 14th for friends and family, should be really good if people can make it.

It's nice and sunny today for once, I even have washing on the line! My spanking new phone lied, it told me today would be cloudy lol

I had a nice phone conversation with my sister Lou yesterday. She randomly rang me up on her way to work and we spoke for 40 mins! We have been in contact loads lately which is great, like old times :-) I know that she is lonely up there so like to keep in regular contact with her, when shes not working that is...
She has promised to try and find out if my step-mum got the letter that I wrote as there has been no reply or acknowledgement.
It also seems as if the usually 'family members' are messing her around but at least this time she seems to be able to see what is going on under her nose, I just hope she is not hurting on the inside :-(

My cat Mitchey-moo's is enjoying his last few days being age 3 :-) I can not believe he will be 4 very soon :O Last night was soo wierd. Apparently little madam wandered into our room in the middle of the night and ended up in our bed so the other half went to sleep in the lounge as he didnt have enough room. Anyway he shut the bedroom door on his way downstairs and then shut himself in the lounge. I woke up a little later to find little madam curled up next to me and assumed the door was open for the cats... 10 mins later I heard someone scratching at the door saying 'meooooowwwwww' lol after a while I realised it was Mitchel so let him in thinking 'oh, the other half would never leave them without a bed so he mush have the lounge door open and Socks must be downstairs...'
Half hour later I can hear the most tiny 'meewwwww' lol I found that Socks had been shut in with Little Miss K and J!!! I eventually got to sleep lol and by morning both Socks and Mitchel were fast asleep on my feet :-)
