**I think somethings up with my crystal glitter because it dries kinda frosty and not clear and sparkly like it used to!! I thought it may be the glue which was different to the one I used before so I tried a different one, thing is I cant remember which one I used in the first place but have 2 more to try. **

MIL update

MIL has had to go back into hospital, her legs just aren't healing properly and kept flaring up. We thought they were gonna operate again but they're trying some treatment instead, so she'll be in there for a while now.

stupid brute's actions still being felt

chocs!!

Thought i'd share a couple of chocie pics :o)

This was an order for my friends mum, she got some before Christmas and wanted more... but also a bigger order..... yayyy!!

Had a play at making the boxes but couldnt find my scallopies.... used plain circle, think i'll add a layered circle of different colour card, around the peep hole next time.



first piccie is off a couple centres and yummy melted choc.....

Where did the end of 2007 go??!!

Whoooaaaa!! only just starting to get back into the swing of things!!

soooooooo busy at the end of the year....

we had a faaby time Chrismas day, and first year of us staying at home. Cooking was fun but scary as Mummy and wayney came over for dinner.
Threw a hissyfit as the boys.. and adj hadnt even tidied up so i cleaned up frontroom while dinner cooked!!
Anyway it all worked out fine and we all had fun Chanta came over too in the evening.

well here's a slide mosaic of a few "just moments" you know, just moments you snap during the day.
** roll your curser over the pics to see more **

Just caching up!! I made loads of cards for Christmas with some yummie magnolia stamps but completely forgot to take photo's of them!! I took pics of the last 6 but not great so will have to take picture in daylight.

shopping and running around to do..... Was in the car with adj and the kiddies today when I had one of Those thoughts.... all the hustle and bustle.... people being soooo bad tempered and rushing around... for the time of year when peace came to all mankind, it was not very peaceful at all out there! I think i'll try and be more peaceful myself as it's soooo easy to get caught up with all of he hype and stress.

MIL is doing well, just got court stuff next..... dont know how that's gonna be. How will i be able to look at the brute without reacting? What will the courtroom be like? what lies will we have to listen to? will his solicitor be very harsh with MIL and elbel?? will there be journo's around??

Advent Swap!!

Here's the last 3 days pressies!!





yummie charms.



Pretty snowflake socks



Cute chipboard flowers!!

a few thank you cards:

magnolia stamps... yumm!!

In the paper!!!

humph!!!!!!!!!! so MIL's local paper has "article" about the heighnus brute..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so anoyed, cant type properly grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Why do papers have to be so dofus like??? why cant they think about how people will feel instead of being sensationalt and just so STUPID??!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i soo want to give the editor a call, DH, MIL, ellbell and gramdma has read the rubbish but I will have to read it first for myself so i have something o complan about to the editor i guess.... just know that it'll make me even crosser than i am now after just hearing about the stupidity of the "journalist"

Journalists were at the house the night and days afterwards but no news was reported but i guess they were waiting to hear the plea the brute gave before going with the story. He has another court appearance on friday...... grrrrrrrrrrr


right i'm gonna have to stop typing and thinking now as i'm getting sooooo angry..... bahhhhhhh

Mummy and Bubble.....

Cant stop taking piccies of bubble!! took some of us together... It was hard getting them so that we were both in the piccie properly and not half a head LOLOL, suppose i could of asked someone else to do it!!

Bubblerooooo!!

here's more piccies of bubble!!

lighting not too good.


Baby Power!!



hmmmmm.....


Touch!!

update.

Haven't updated for a while, been feeling so blah i didn't want to write anything done.

MIL had to go into hospital again :o( her legs arent healing properly and new antibiotics needed to be given.

The brute had his plea date and pleaded NOT guilty!!! what a complete and utter worm.... cant even be a man and own up to his actions. wont write too much about it for legal reasons as i know he has internet access or someone he knows is doing stuff for him grrrrrrrrrrr.

My emotions are all over the place still, trying to get past this hill....

Bubbleicious!!!

Here's bubble at 1 week old!!

hmmm whats over there??


Edwin(magnolia) cheeks:

What a night!!

**look away if talk of breast feeding aint your thing!!**


Poor bubble!! he had such a rough night. the formula doesnt agree with him at all!!
he was sick and groaney from 3am and didnt want to lie down. I had to sleep with him upright on my chest, my hips and legs finally said no more. He had another feed at 9.30ish and was sick again... he looked so sad but no fever, also the milk was undigested so....i called GP.... what dya know?? they were closed!!! BAH!!!
phoned m/wife and she basicaly told me br/milk with co-codamol was better for him than formula :o(
Gave him a br/feed at 10.30ish and he slept fine and no sick!! finally got to lie him down. poor love.
sooooooo, no more formula..... dh not to happy as he loved being able to feed him so i will express.
I had to dig out the old pump while formula feeding as it got so painful and i didnt want milk to stop!! i expressed a whole bottle at a time!! never managed that before!! hopefully it will continue like this.




wonder if there's such thing as "gentle" formula?

Thank God for Codeine!!

Been in so much pain last few days been using just paracetamol which really didn't touch the pain. Wonderful midwife came today and told me to ge on to my gp and get stronger meds being asthmatic there's not much I can take she told me i could take codeine.
Didnt get to call gp but called Morrisons pharmacy and they had some co-codymol!! took some at about 9pm and wow!! I feel so much better, not totaly painfree but soooo much better.
Only thing is while taking these i cant breastfeed so bubble gets a bottle and mummy has less pain.
