An update
*waves*

Been quite a while since I have updated. I have lost weight much yayness, Elizabeth is growing into a beautiful and pleasent little girl (she is everything I have ever dreamed of in a child) my husband is wonderful and my job still sucks.

In recent news i attended a wonderful party held by the lovely robin and jenny, where people seemed to notice I have a chest.
I saw the lovely Emma last week in a visit to Lizzie, it was lovely to see her again and thanks again for the lovely presents for Lizzie, the dress looks wonderful.
I went to the weston carnival, which was totally wonderful. They worked really hard this year each float was stunning and enjoyable, lizzie stayed awake throughout the whole thing.
Spending time with my family, Lizzie was feeling under the weather yesterday but seems to be better now.
I am very much wanting to arrange another girls night in, Booze, friendship, movies and talking, sounds like heaven to me :o)

I can't believe the week is almost over, it doesn't seem fair.

Anyways take care everyone, sorry its been so long between updates I will try and do better.

BBQ
Hi guys *waves*

We are planning to hold a bbq on the 19th Sept (Sat) for our three year wedding annerversey. We would very much like for you all to come. If you could let us know either by email, phone etc. that would be great. Knowing me I'll most likely call you anyway :o) Take care *hugs*

lizzie
i cannot get over her now being two. she had a lovely day thanks for all the texts.

due to a mix up I have no idea who is going to be able to look after her in two weeks for two weeks. the childminders cover has really let us down and I am hoping that they can find a nursery place, if not then I have no idea who can look after her.

I know I don't update often but at some point i'll update properly.

Take care everyone

:o)

Phone
I have a new phone and my old number so I am contactable again.

Getting slighty fed up with the naughbours messing with our lawn.

We are planning the path for this satuarday, if anyone is free to help that would be great. It needs to go up I am getting annoyed with them trying to expand their land. *sigh*

Mobile Stolen
This morning my car was broken into and my handbag stolen, which had my mobile in it.

So there's no point anyone trying to contact me by phone, if you need me, best to contact Paul on his mobile.

Party
Firstly I would like to thank Robin for hosting such a wonderful party filled with lovely people. I really had a great time, and its not just the drink that was talking, although I will be honest that drink was lovely and I think I had a little too much.

Lizzie also had a good time she was talking about it all the way home, I honestly didn't think she would go to bed but she did thankfully.

There were many people that I met last night that I really liked and I know this sounds bad but I can't remember the names of. There was an american, a nice man that I started talking to just before the tracker factory song, a lovely girl who is a teacher, well lets just say I liked everyone who is there, so I'm sure not all of them have LJ, Facebook etc. but those who do I would like to keep in touch because I always get on with them when I see them. If user names can be exchanged I would like that. I am waffling way too much.

The food was lovely and the company was perfect. Thank you to everyone, that is the first night in a long time that I have really enjoyed like that. Even if I talked way too much (ignore the talkings of a drunk woman :o) Take care.

Current Mood: grateful

i am going to start moving towards gaining qualifications to improve my job prospects. I really wish i knew the full value of a degree, some companies put great pressure to have one if you want to get anywhere, however many people have told me that they are overrated for most jobs that are not highly skilled (doctor etc.) I will be trying to find out which is the best direction. I have to work, I might as well try working towards a goal.

Current Mood: thoughtful

Ugh
At home right now, feeling quite rough. Up all night caughing some cold or something.

I couldn't bring myself to drive so lizzie is with me. bless her she is being so good. She has a doll, and today she has been cleaning it with the wipes I use to clean her, she also gives her water and she kisses her as well. Its really sweet to watch. I am finally starting to feel a little better. Going back to work tomorrow, I hate taking time off, but I like it as well, I get to spend some time with my baby girl, who isen't exactly a baby any more.

take care guys.

Current Mood: tired

Just a quick reflection post, just thinking how much my life has changed since I had Elizabeth. I remember the days when Paul and I were booked up at least five weekends in advance, we never really had time to simply relax around the house. And now apart from week day nights when we are still seeing lovely people and being social, weekends nowadays have relaxed into a family affair, when we all spend time together, relaxed, playing with lizzie catching up on stuff, enjoying people when we see them which we always try and arrange, but knowing that we are very much restricted as to where we go now.

And you know something, I still have a wonderful life, that I consider blessed. There is nothing I would change about it.

Just something I wanted to say

I'm Getting a New Car (new to me) very happy right now, its just what I wanted.

Current Mood: bouncy

A quick happy belated birthday to Robin.

We haven't seen you much lately and must catch up soon. Take care and we hope that you had a good time. *hugs*

I surrender
I have an infection in my tooth, which is now being treated with antibiotics, which of course is having NO effect on the pain whatsoever at this moment in time. Antibiotics mean I can't drink alochol, which means no medicene, which means more coughing. Both Paula and I both off yesterday and I'm in today just to clear some things up and then might head off later.

Lizzie is pretty healthy though, that is some good news.

Have just sent the letter to the builders insurance company and are awaiting their most likely angry response. *fingers crossed they won't*

Current Mood: sore

The Pain
Hello everyone,

For the first time in ages I am actually able to see friends page on LJ at work, so yays for that.

In other news, I have very bad toothache, will be seeing dentist (shivers with fear) on wednesday. I have been plagued with a cough as well since christmas, which is not a result of my lungs or anything like that according to my doctor. In her words I have to live with it until it goes away. My lovely little girl has broken my glasses frame, while the tesco on trying to repair them broke the lenses *sigh*.

With all this illness I haven't managed to loose much weight at all, but still the year is very young and we must keep trying. Lizzie is growing up lovely, she is very determined and headstrong and likes to do things on her own, which is sweet to see. My husband is still wonderful and ever loving and although my social skills, while lacking lately, I have been reasonably happy so far.

Big congrats to Andy and Larua, although I think they know how happy I am for them already. Still can't help it ;o) as well as Congrats to Graham and Em, I'm sure you'll also be very happy together.

In summary, really trying to make 2009 a good year, and refuse to allow my horrible body to stop me. But so far its

Will update results as they come through.

Happy New Year
Well that is 2008 over and done with, and with the exception of my family, I will not miss it one bit.

I hope everyone has had a good time this christmas and have enjoyed themselves.

We had a lovely christmas, I cooked my first turkey, roast potatoes etc. and it did not burn and tasted good :o) Lots of lovely presents, tons of chocolates (lizzie LOVES chocolate), so do I but i am going to suffer for it in the new year. the word diet is screaming in my ears.

We have seen good friends and shared some great times, and we have loved all our time off together.

I know that I don't update often anymore but hey. I am looking forward to seeing what 09 brings. Big congrats to Mouse and Kirsty by the way, I'm sure you'll be very happy, all the best :o)

Take care everyone

Feeling ill, totally drained and fed up.

They have been working on the house for the past two and a half weeks. Taken off all the radiators and doing the backs. Four of them have leaked, therefore they drained the system and told me they'd fixed them yesterday. Yesterday night, three started leaking again. I think they have really bodged the kitchen one. The tiling is uneven. noticeably so, and we have just been informed a valve to the back boiler is faulty due to the age of the system.

I just want this over with, its been over a year now since the fire and I hopeed that our house would be ours again, we would be able to turn the heating on for Lizzie, who got sick last winter when we were without it, I hoped that we would be free to do other things.

Claiming the insurnace moneies is tough, they have taken the cleaning bill out of the settlement money, cleaning I might add wasn't good, and in some cases aka the kitchen wasn't required because they SHOULD have replaced it when we were out of the house. I'm just fed up, I so want this to be over.

Current Mood: melancholy

How many times
for the third time AHF have come to put together our bedroom furniture which has for the past five months been in our bedroom unassembled and looking a mess, and once again they have messed it up. Yet again we have been given the wrong part and yet again we are left waiting for them. I am quite angry and frustrated because we really need that furniture.

In other news I have a whole week off to spend time with Lizzie, do some of the garden, clear things up and get Lizzie used to her childminder.

She left nursery and where the girls who looked after her were sorry to see her leave, managment could not care less. Didn't ask where she was going, and didn't even make an effort to say goodbye to her. For a company that says it cares I find it difficult to believe. Anyways, hope everyone else is doing alright.

Current Mood: annoyed

I would like to thank everyone who came to lizzie's party and made her first birthday a special one. there is nothing I would have liked to change about that day (apart from some, but you already know that).

The weather was wonderful, the blessing special and company, well I couldn't have asked for more. Lizzie has some lovely presents which she is engaged in playing with right now.

Luckily my parents were able to take a good deal of meat back to theirs for freezing so we can collect them at a later date. I hate food going to waste.

Since this went so well maybe we should consider more parties in the future, of course help would be required :o)

Take care, and thanks once again it was a wonderful day.
