Well what have we been up to
Well its official I have now not bitten my nails for a whole week, now I know to some people its a disgusting habit and I totally agree but its something I have done since i was a child and i do it without even thinking, but I am trying to stop and believe you me it takes all my will power not to bite them.
We have been helping my mum and dad move house which has been a little sad as its the old family home they have moved from but its for the best as this is into sheltered accommodation and is going to be much better for them in the future but they have been in the same house for the last 42 years and it has taken some moving lol.
Went up to the lakes on Friday to see some good friends and see how there new house is coming on and on the way we stopped at a sandwich shop called the Square in Milnthorpe which belongs to a friend H off Carolyns Craft Forum is and we had the most fantastic breakfast rolls yum yum.
Saturday was Ikea day and we went spending my mums money for the new house lol
Today we are off to church then back into routine of uniforms and homework lol ready for school although Rebekah not back till Tuesday and Sam Wednesday. Poor Neesa back on Monday.
Been thinking of Neesa and Sam a lot this weekend whilst they are visiting their mum.
Well that's all for now folks Rebekah just altering a plain pencil case so will add photographs later.

Happy Stampers
Well today I have been to Port Sunlight to the North West Happy Stampers Craft Fayre. Its just amazing and gets me every time. So many different things to see and do.
Today we watched the fantastic Barbara Santerelli with her Clarity Stamps and she was brilliant as usual and Rebekah my eight year old was very lucky to get one of the Christmas Trees she was demoing how to do.
We also watched a lady who made fantastic triangular boxes which you can hang on your Christmas tree ( which i have thought are a fantastic thing for the cubs to make at Christmas)
Someone showed us how to do marbling with chalks and water ( again easy and fab for the cubs to do)
It was a really fantastic day made better by meeting up with our friends June and Lynn off Stamping Mad.
Just one last thing remember my Disney LO that i entered into a comp on Bumbelberry Crafts Forum ? Well .............................. Rachels daughter has chosen mine as a winner and so I recieve a small goodie bag off the wonderful Rachel aka Turtletress

My little girl is now a cub !!!!!!!!!
Oh my what a change in circumstances my little girl has just been invested as a cub scout. She has waited for ages for this day as she has always wanted to be a cub.
I am so proud of her she remembered her promise word for word and stood so proud as our group scout leader invested her, along with two other cubs who had come up from Beavers.
As for me , counting down to October half term now lol ........................................................................
How long left ????

Sorry its been so long
Well what a time we have been having here lol I have had the most awful ( in a fun way if that's possible) week at work as our new intake have started and when you start 100 3yr olds at nursery for the first time you know your gonna have fun lol even though we do stagger the intake, you forget just how far on the children who left us in July have come.
I have a wonderful group of children who are just fantastic and make me laugh, cry and feel so proud.
Neesa is getting on at college with her NVQ in Beauty Therapy and has informed us in a couple of weeks she needs her first volunteer for one of the treatments a half leg wax !!!!!! My sis has kindly volunteered lol well i promised i would have miles if she did it and we kind of organised it so she cant get out of it hahah Thanks Pam though seriously Nessa is appreciative of your offer.
Sam appears to be doing ok at school he is in year 9 so busy busy year for him with sats and his options he is getting on with his homework now and seems more settled at school (poor love he has a lot to put up with) had a little accident yesterday in Metal work where he nearly sawed his finger off lol.
Rebekah is loving year 4 at the moment and I am so pleased it makes me want to cry she got Head teachers award for her class on Friday ( this is chosen by each class teacher) and she was so proud she has also had stickers in the last week for good behaviour, making her teacher smile because of her good work and for mental maths she seems to be really enjoying herself and I cant help but smile while i type this bit about her.
This weekend is busy busy busy I am off soon to a workshop with a few girls from

how time flies
Well have been back at work for nearly 2 weeks now and i just don't know where the time has gone. Its all back to normal here well our kind of normal anyways. I am back at work, Neesa has started her beauty therapy course at college Sam has gone into year 9 and Rebekah has started in year 4.
Cubs has started back so my Wednesdays are back to the hectic times they where before the summer holidays but that could all change as Rebekah may be joining Cubs and leaving Brownies. Its a decision we have all had to discuss as its not as easy as it may first seem.
My Dear friend who I have done cubs with for many years and is also Rebekah's God mother has been diagnosed with Cancer and starts her Chemotherapy in the next couple of weeks, this means we are a leader down and if Rebekah is at Brownies then I cant be in two places at the one time and so really need her to be with me at cubs for convenience more than anything and I didn't want her giving up brownies and just attending cubs with me with out the chance of being able to achieve some awards.
Ramble over with now off to look at a cd of pictures from my friend at work who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro (sp) during the summer with her husband.
