In case you were wondering...
...and it was doing your head in, I decided to make onion gravy, and it was sooooo scrummy... MMMmmmmMmmmMmmm, and the chops were cooked to perfection as well. I was thoroughly enjoying my dinner, and then dripped two dollops of gravy down my clean top, grrrrr, lol.
Nervous??
Mojikan thinks I'm nervous lol.
I've been continuing a crocheted blanket that I started ages ago. I've made the centre white, and now I have some eyelash multi coloured wool for the outside. This time the blankets just for me to snuggle up to. I'll post a pic when it's finished.
I'm cooking pork chops, mash and vegetables for dinner, but I can't make up my mind as to whether I want to make onion gravy or just normal gravy...
The weatherman said it was going to chuck it down with rain here at lunchtime, but it's been nice and sunny all day long... well up until now anyway, it's now overcast.
I'm quite enjoying this new blog, but then I did the other one as well at the beginning.

New Mojikan
Awwww.... he's up there sleeping. I decided to get a meedog instead, but I'm a bit worried about him, he's breathing too fast for my liking...
Got the Euros!
Back from town now.
I got the Euros!! I took in the £90, and she said.... "For £92.36 I could give you 120 Euros... so I did, lol. We now have a total of 850 Euros to spend, and £80 for travelling there and back. What a lot of money. Hmmm... now what craft stuff could I have got with all that....
Oh!!!! Poor Darryl...
Abby left a message on his Bebo to say that she couldn't go out tonight as she was poorly, throwing up etc, and has asked when he's next free. Now he thinks that maybe she didn't want to see him anyway, lol. Paranoia setting in me thinks. He takes after his mum, lol.
Darryl also treated me in town to a new book - Dean Koontz - The Taking, and he also got me a big bar of Dairy Milk... diet out the window again then, lol.
If you are a book fan, particularly of the mind bending pyschological stuff, then try Dean Koontz Velocitiy, it's a good read, specially on a cold winters night tucked up in bed... much like now then, lol.

Good morning!!
I thought I'd change the colour to a nice peaceful blue. I did like the pink, but it was too bright. I see the Mojikan has come to life. He's a little sweetie, lol.
I need to go into town again today and get some more Euros. I changed £511 the other day (they always make you go slightly higher than you intended!), and then Justin asked me what about the other £90... I'd left that at home, lol, so I need to get that changed today. They will probably say... if you give us £92.74 etc, NO, they not getting no more of me money!
Matthew was very pleased yesterday - he finally got his Doctor Who curtains up in his room. I say curtains, but it's actually only one curtain, he has a really teeny weeny window in his room.
Darryl is off out with his new girlfriend, Abby, tonight. They are going to the cinema. Darryl is a good kid. I'm very proud of the way he has turned out. He doesn't smoke, no drugs, doesn't terrorise grannies or anything. He works in a supermarket, not a fantastic job, but he's got a job, so I'm pleased for him. I only ever wanted my kids to grow up happy and healthy, and so far, they are doing.
Right, well, sitting here chatting isn't getting my Euros!
Back later, no doubt!

Things I need to get done.
Sleep, I'm SO tired.
I also need to make Paula's swap card, make a different folded card for July's card swap on my card group, make 3 Fairy ATC's, make two seaside ATC's and two pink ATC's. I also need to make some Christmas scrapbook pages and cards with a kit that I got sent from America, so that they can be uploaded to a shop site. I'm so behind with things and the more behind I get, the harder it is to snap out of it and get on with things.
I'm also making Matthew a cross stitched teddy bear. I'm ALSO making another white crocheted blanket. The biggest thing I'm making is a mess!! HAHAHAHAHA!
Justin is fiddling around with the camcorder. He's bought a cleaning tape thingy. The last time I used it, at Woburn Safari, it came up on screen do not use until this camera has been reset! Of course it was all my fault, lol.
I hope this time when we go to Disneyland that the tape doesn't go wrong and never play again like it did last time. Then we changed the tape that evening, only to forget to charge the camcorder over night, lol... we were not impressed. We only got half an hour of footage, and half of that was in the dark! Justin had filmed us on the train going round the park at night...

Wake up!
Why is he sleeping??? lol, is he not reading my blog??
He should be reading my blog and seeing whether it's happy or not, lol. Also, he's supposed to get up once I've registered him, which I have!
WAKE UP MOJIKAN!

Here are some of my ATC's that I made just for me...
I had a bit of a Christmas thing going at the time.
Don't you just hate waiting for deliveries??
I was expecting a delivery yesterday, I'd paid for it to be delivered yesterday, but it turned up today, incomplete!!!! My new pink boots were missing, and so was Matthew's new Parka coat I'd ordered him for the winter, I am not happy!
Matthew's sports day was postponed today until the 18th July. The field was slightly water logged so couldn't take place, and Matthew was actually looking forward to taking part saying he was going to do the best for his team.
Well I've got a million and one things to do today. I have to send off three ATC's to that swapbot place, get the dogs pills from Boots chemist, buy a crochet hook, and some jelly. I don't have enough time for everything to get done by the time we go away... looks like Paula's card will be mega late...

Our weather is in the Azores???
It is according to Yahoo News. We've had flooding and high winds here all this month. I've just turned the computer back on after the second thunderstorm of today! Where's global warming when you need it?!
While the computer was off I stitched a little bit more of the teddy bear that Matthew wanted me to stitch for him.
It's Matthew's school sports day tomorrow and he doesn't want to do it, neither would I in this weather.
My mouth hurts. I've been to the dentist three times in the last month. I've got to go to the hospital to have one of my wisdom teeth out - that should be fun!
I'm also well into Big Brother here at the moment. Charley is doing my head in, she is soooo obnoxious. I don't know who I want to win this one.
I've not done any scrapbooking for about a month, and I owe my friend, Paula, a swap card, which I shall try my hardest to get sent to her before the end of this week. Fingers crossed Paula!

A few of my ATC's
Here are just a few more of my ATC's. I won't publish any that I know haven't been received yet though, so there's no chance of seeing it before you get it!!
The Love of my Life
I couldn't leave this on the other blog coz I'd miss it, lol...
I wrote this poem for my wonderful other half. I met him in Yahoo chat over 8 years ago, and he's wonderful. He's 11 years my junior, and I feel very lucky to have him with me...
If I had to live without you
It would truly break my heart
You are what makes life special
And I pray we never part
I wake up every morning
And you're lying next to me
Another day's beginning
For our shared lifes memories
Thank you for the good times
That we have spent together
May our love always be strong and true
And keep us safe, forever...
When you look deeply in my eyes
I hope you see the love
And realise I mean what I've said
In all of the above...
I'd like to thank you one more time
For sharing each days debut
Just one more thing I have to say
And that is... "I love you"...
Matthew... awwww
This is a little gadget that I got from another forum. It's pretty good, and comes with various little digital scrapbook layouts, or a slideshow. You can then email it to your family/friends, or post to your blog!! There is also a daft little video in this one as well.

Sooo.....
I'm really trying hard to decide whether I want my blog here or not... I think I may do... or I might not, lol...am SO indecisive!
I'm adding some pictures of my work for now. Up above are the first two ATC's that I made. I love making the little pieces of art and I love receiving them too.
I, along with Chris, run a group on Yahoo for swapping ATC's http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/CardScraps_n_ATCs/ we are open for new members. We take part in two themed swaps per month. This month is Seaside, and Pink. I still haven't made them yet.
We are off to Disneyland Paris on Monday for the second time. We went on the 15th December 2006, loved it, so immediately booked up again. We're staying in Sequoia Lodge this time.
