Was watching Stephanie Persons you tube channel yesterday talking about the carcadian rythem and how important it was to be in bed for 10. So I duly obliged and was up at 6.30. I'm now quite wakened and full of beans. I'm usually quite a late bed person, maybe in bed but reading and stuff but last night it was lights out and eyes shut at 10. Which meant eyes wakened at 3.30 but I went back quick enough till the alarm went off.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mH_yarTNUEaRYo9Ogv6mT8uvtxzoH07KjEMSLW4G8AvFjBX7YaGQ4bWP8lKsxAsPzFcJldyoFCdSR49YCd1aPXHldotwwwNRrCrLanF4DBGV9QzPib6kNElpKBrUv3b0AfaN_O6vAsI/s1024/Photo%25252020150216075401.jpg" target="_blank" style=""><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mH_yarTNUEaRYo9Ogv6mT8uvtxzoH07KjEMSLW4G8AvFjBX7YaGQ4bWP8lKsxAsPzFcJldyoFCdSR49YCd1aPXHldotwwwNRrCrLanF4DBGV9QzPib6kNElpKBrUv3b0AfaN_O6vAsI/s500/Photo%25252020150216075401.jpg" id="blogsy-1424073275827.3723" class="alignnone" width="500" height="500" alt=""></a></div><p> See what came out last week? Simply Sewing. I've been so excited since I read in simply crochet they were starting a sewing magazine. Thursday lunchtime I went to he newsagents. Not there. Came home and went to Irvine Tesco, not there. Irvine Sainsburies, not there. Irvine Asda, not there. I was pretty pissed of by this time. So one last chance, Stevenston Morrisons on the drive back. Bingo! Loads of them in there. But I haven't opened it yet. I just wanted it there for when I was ready and the weekend wasn't the right time. I think tonight I will snuggle up with tea and the mag once the kids are in bed. </p><p>You may think I'm a bit crunchy, gone in the head to have travelled to so many places to track it down. Well you would be right. I'm a bit odd like that. I'm going to get a subscription going to avoid future incidents.</p><p>Now, here is the sore bit. I went to my first physical training session at Blades Gym in Ardrossan. Wullie the trainer was lovely. Explained everything really well, made me feel at ease and made me work for an hour which would render my legs sore for the rest of the weekend. Muscles that obviously not been used for a while. Wullie and his wife Louise have a lot of titles in the strongman / woman competitions so I'm really pleased to be training there. </p><p>This morning I'm not just as sore. I can come down the stairs a bit better. I've got till Wednesday to recover then it's back in for round 2. I've running tomorrow night as well. They did say I should lay off the cardio for a month till the strength training kicks in but I'm scared to stop for a month as it took me so long to get there with the running. Quandary!</p><p>Have a lovely day everyone and I should be able to come back soon with a review of how I found Simply Sewing. </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15643585668772185379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974186105358967797.post-8996473949131884092015-02-10T08:37:00.001+00:002015-02-10T08:37:58.751+00:00Small victories<p> Hey blog readers, if there are any left. Long time no see. I've not updated for ages, you know how sporadic my blogging can be. Usual story, I've been busy but just with general life and maybe not anything blog worthy. Not at least till I can cram a few months worth into one post and make it seem awesome!</p><p>Spending a few quiet moments before I head off to work. Social services await my wonderful administrative skills. Lucky them. </p><p>I've been back to the jog group, since just before Christmas. I didn't post it as a New Years resolution and that puts all sorts of pressures on it with a probability that if it didn't work out I would feel like a failure. So I've kept it under my belt till I felt comfortable. Jogging has been great. First week I could hardly make it round the track. Six weeks (roughly) later I made it round 400, 600, 800 then 6 amd 4 again. I managed every bit without stopping which for me was massive. I was most likely grinning to myself as I completed the 800. Smiling at the random dog walkers who were walking round the outside of the track. Let's not get over excited though, 800m - a 10k in May. Bit of a difference there.lots of work to be done but I'm sure with the encouragement of the other lovely joggers and the coaches it is doable. </p><p>Last night after work I took advantage of being child free and was going to go to the gym but I went to the big gym and walked in and bottled it. The treadmills were all busy and run was all I was there for. Felt a bit intimidated so I left. I'm comfortable in my jog group, or up at the smaller campus gym but not in the big gym. So I left and parked down near the shore front. It was getting dark but that's all good, less people to see me. There was a funny smell, pretty sure someone was smoking a funny cigarette. </p><p>So that was another small victory for me as I ran from the car along to the church and back, without stopping. Going very slow, but consistent. I went home happy.</p><p>So I'm obviously trying to lose weight along the way as five foot and 12 stone, well you work it out. I'm never going to be a big loser (err hurray), I pound here, 1 pound there but that's okay. I know it's a cliche but it didn't go on over night and it's not going to come off over night either. But I feel better. I'm eating less carbs. I tried low low low carbs but I struggled. Then when I started I found it easier to run for longer. It's all about finding what's right. I do love all the low carb recipies though.</p><p>I made a smoothie yesterday and after reading one of the blogs, input cinnamon in it. Bad move. I don't think it had hit the bottom when I made a mad lurch for the bathroom, trying not to be sick in the hall. I alsomst catapulted myself into the bathroom and into the bath. You probably can guess the rest. So this mornings smoothie is a bit less controversial. Frozen banana, blackberries, milk and some proton shake. Oh yes and the spinach. Let's not forget the green.</p><p>So it's off to work I go, all smoothied up, earphones in and a lunch date with Stuart to look forward to. </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15643585668772185379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974186105358967797.post-9268526099171293162014-11-04T21:12:00.000+00:002014-11-04T22:40:11.748+00:00Super Sunday. not football related<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">It's Sunday night again though by the time i post this it will most likely be midweek. </span><br>
The last week was super busy getting my people ready for Halloween. Last Saturday we went to the pool. I let them go in by themselves and i sat at the side and read my book. I was finishing off the final bits of tales from a blue bike. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSjzztZiB4H5Z7cEL-VOnw13A6Uer39uBsglCmY3s9jRB2EsT6RNlsJwPGu0J9sKguMYamg3NN-QfQ5sPUfxq3owB6w0vhTGoymgVb9QgqFgyQ8eIC7yXaqFUW3R6Zbxt4sPW4ImuZlg/s1024/Photo%2525202014110210%25253A47%25253A55%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img alt="" class="alignnone" height="364" id="blogsy-1414968489141.7554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSjzztZiB4H5Z7cEL-VOnw13A6Uer39uBsglCmY3s9jRB2EsT6RNlsJwPGu0J9sKguMYamg3NN-QfQ5sPUfxq3owB6w0vhTGoymgVb9QgqFgyQ8eIC7yXaqFUW3R6Zbxt4sPW4ImuZlg/s500/Photo%2525202014110210%25253A47%25253A55%252520pm.jpg" width="500"></font></a><br><div> I really enjoyed that book, hearing all about Tsh and her lovely family. Im getting more onboard all the time with living more intentionally though in my own way. I do have far less stuff now though than i used to have which is great.</div><div><br>
Last Sunday was a quiet day. Really nothing much happened that day at all. </div><div> <br>Monday, work work work.</div><div><br>
Tuesday, now this is the exciting bit. We booked a holiday. Our first ever holiday abroad with the kids. Its not till next year but ooooooh I. am. so. excited. We all are so excited. We will be off to Lanzarote. I will need to post some links to that once I am on the desk top.<br>
<br>
I am still working on my wee guys Halloween costume. Its cost me zero to make and I got lots of bits of card and cut them out. Every single one of them. I must admit it did get a bit labourious but the end result was just perfect. Well I think so and so does my Joe.<br>
<br>
Wednesday was all about the pumpkins. Stuart had scooped all the innards out the night before so we were free to get creative after work without worrying about the grisly task of scooping and scraping out the middle of the pumpkin. I really do not like that job and was very glad of the help.<br>
<br>
Jessica was totally independent with her choice and took her time with the pumpkin carver. She done such a good job of her minecraft pumpkin, I was very proud. Joe picked what he wanted his pumpkin to be but also picked that he wanted me to carve it. That was fine. The thought of Joe with even a sharpish instrument worries me slightly though after cutting my thumb open at the age of 17 while making a Halloween costume, i cant really talk. Zelda was his request. Im not even sure now what the Zelda thing was but im sure there was an eagle. I was pretty impressed that I pulled it off. I should have been happy at that but then decided that I would make mine the Death Star. Because a working mum of two isnt busy enough you see. I started it but Stuart finished it. Fair enough. Half way through the Death Star I got kind of well, bored. It turned out well though.<br>
<br>
Thursday night - Final prep for the Halloween costume for Joe and out went Jessica to her Halloween party at the Brownies, oops. Guides. She was an evil Minnie Mouse. We got her costume from XS in Irvine. Jess did not want a handmade costume by mum.<br>
<br>
Friday was the big day! Halloween. Joe went to my friends house and went round the doors with him. I went too and was quite mesmerised by how busy the street was. Where we stay isnt that busy with kids, you might get a few but not compared to what I saw up at my friends. Jessica went out with her friends under the watchful eye of one of their cousins and a cousins friend. The got a fair amount of sweeties, very lucky wee people indeed.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEqp1dtYWvn5jeGQM_PvHb5CJOh_biTkXUdrN5NX9BJLSgoA3FZ8eSeiUMSHEOHnRRwsDZxb8A9ihGwF-UDlm2rU0AQqx9TIAVmw9rfCDdnC4Ru9Q6q4ie-9oKIOK2k2vlPoqi5HnmjY/s640/blogger-image--202146933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEqp1dtYWvn5jeGQM_PvHb5CJOh_biTkXUdrN5NX9BJLSgoA3FZ8eSeiUMSHEOHnRRwsDZxb8A9ihGwF-UDlm2rU0AQqx9TIAVmw9rfCDdnC4Ru9Q6q4ie-9oKIOK2k2vlPoqi5HnmjY/s640/blogger-image--202146933.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Jess decided to put out monkey nuts for the squirrels that sometimes brave our garden but the magpies made short work of the nuts. They didn't last long at all</div><br>
<br>
Saturday - Lazy day, nothing to report. Unless you really need to hear about the most delicious black bean I got from the Chinese.<br>
<br>
Sunday - Slightly less lazy. After church the kids went to spend the afternoon while I ironed. It had to be done. And it was all done. So much so I ran out of coat hanger. Then it was the fireworks. We were going to go down to the harbour in Saltcoats and see them. The fair was there so obviously the kids wanted to go on the rides. But just as we got our jackets on to leave the house the heavens opened. Luckily we are close the harbour so we could see them from the house. It's nice though to get all wrapped up and take the kids down. Just not in the driving rain. I actually don't like the noise of fireworks too much so I was happy to be in the house.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfWk73njnPSrOS9QEZjjgeJIGKFFm10vfNuRdgfWaW9vTrh53Je39IWzFI3YBtaAKqeiFKUgVtu9Bc-M9t7MXVeTwAW2r3Nks4ah84FOgve2WCleQcs51A8nX5WotbCdMQzSv_8zbk38A/s640/blogger-image--103969280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfWk73njnPSrOS9QEZjjgeJIGKFFm10vfNuRdgfWaW9vTrh53Je39IWzFI3YBtaAKqeiFKUgVtu9Bc-M9t7MXVeTwAW2r3Nks4ah84FOgve2WCleQcs51A8nX5WotbCdMQzSv_8zbk38A/s640/blogger-image--103969280.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There is one member of our house though who really isn't keen on the fireworks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJy3nh0rZpu8G58C14ZB69aa8Q_3P90JZkXN5qyvWv1WO6TKlkUyNuZFJ6M8BXLXF0-gxV4kjRizYj9_PdKkhO7dywuNWlbhQ9BONius7Tgfkc56ywkKyt3Ke3nONFUGiTvNarT3LdxeY/s640/blogger-image--867623986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJy3nh0rZpu8G58C14ZB69aa8Q_3P90JZkXN5qyvWv1WO6TKlkUyNuZFJ6M8BXLXF0-gxV4kjRizYj9_PdKkhO7dywuNWlbhQ9BONius7Tgfkc56ywkKyt3Ke3nONFUGiTvNarT3LdxeY/s640/blogger-image--867623986.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Thanks for reading.xx</div><div>

Its so cheery and well, colourful. Whatever the season. Poor Belle isn't allowed in the playpark so while the kids played i went a short walk with Belle to see if there were any conkers to be found. Sadly there were none, not even the shells. Im sure I am not early so I can only assume I am way late.</p><p>Jessica spotted Scooby doo in the park (no dogs eh) and bagged herself a selfie. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDgfiQOxkdI7GMVGZu5lVqeDQq0IVba-k6v_rlC7TloM2WzMSn6JN_qjU_CYJ2igcv27f5_Z1pAgkF7vl2oeaJhZzBygdcu1zsPaa8A3kx7cLjsaZZj5ptRDJRNgCSecRwBJApY5Xa5U/s1024/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDgfiQOxkdI7GMVGZu5lVqeDQq0IVba-k6v_rlC7TloM2WzMSn6JN_qjU_CYJ2igcv27f5_Z1pAgkF7vl2oeaJhZzBygdcu1zsPaa8A3kx7cLjsaZZj5ptRDJRNgCSecRwBJApY5Xa5U/s500/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1413755725582.1455" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="500"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11mup1WQnFT6429K2rJYkG6UF1k7A583_-8U4zmMHMD1q1McvmmGYQqExOA7ppiphqrmSwmZFlE1kjDcx0C0KOkkzrqRyJjwvhTasC9wHFtIaTQphufh6g-umy9_lMVZjmElUffuJ_3g/s1024/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11mup1WQnFT6429K2rJYkG6UF1k7A583_-8U4zmMHMD1q1McvmmGYQqExOA7ppiphqrmSwmZFlE1kjDcx0C0KOkkzrqRyJjwvhTasC9wHFtIaTQphufh6g-umy9_lMVZjmElUffuJ_3g/s500/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1413755725526.4375" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="500"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today was a horrid day, weatherwise. It just rained then was sunny for 10 mins then rained again; repeated throughout the day. Dog didn't want to venture out, kids were dead against going anywhere so a house day it was. We had a visit from the kids granny and grandpa. Granny was just back from a trip to Canada and came with clothes which they were delighted with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made soup. I bought a ham hock yesterday and to be honest wasn't too sure what to do with it. The house now reeks of bacon. Too much, too much. I managed to find a recipe then added a few bits of my own. I thought it was just a case of chucking it in with the soup and letting it do its thing but no, i had to take bits off. That bit gives me the heaves. I hate anything I need to pick the meat off. Chicken wings? no thanks. yuck</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then used up the very last of the rhubarb. For my old favourite, a crumble. It was nice but some bits seemed undercooked. The crumble bit was awesome though.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhW1DBlF61vnZFPDbf42nYX36xUhPYzYtudAQf653WO5rQmNcRJQsHpJNzRa8s6qv3Rgths5cH5GvRtDRswPLVLr91cybujGR3Ua8dCFBoj1z9noFrYWFNZfOI4Jvm9PTb7WkqQjqHpI/s1024/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhW1DBlF61vnZFPDbf42nYX36xUhPYzYtudAQf653WO5rQmNcRJQsHpJNzRa8s6qv3Rgths5cH5GvRtDRswPLVLr91cybujGR3Ua8dCFBoj1z9noFrYWFNZfOI4Jvm9PTb7WkqQjqHpI/s500/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1413755725592.6292" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfXorntKxzTHwX5FPA-vr99bZ778h-2gCuyjtKq-qyVG6AztfzrM3EqJQfpZOkyUT6PW7aHGsqE00wtfw5nrQ6Er5R2VMiaLcgNTfjnSJmZ_4Kj0jlkXqgd-wrsOM2iewzX1sjS60g4Bk/s640/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfXorntKxzTHwX5FPA-vr99bZ778h-2gCuyjtKq-qyVG6AztfzrM3EqJQfpZOkyUT6PW7aHGsqE00wtfw5nrQ6Er5R2VMiaLcgNTfjnSJmZ_4Kj0jlkXqgd-wrsOM2iewzX1sjS60g4Bk/s500/Photo%2525202014101910%25253A53%25253A49%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1413755725541.3596" class="aligncenter" width="480" height="640" alt=""></a></div><p> And now im winding down with some of Stuarts homebrewed gingerbread beer.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hiya, thanks for having a wee read at my blog. Last week it was the October holidays from school here. Its been great and I had a few days of work to enjoy the holidays with the kids. Stuart and I split the week and they went to my mums one day too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last Sunday we took run up to Dobbies Garden Centre, near Ayr. Jess wasn't feeling herself that day and wasn't up for much carry on but she felt better once she was out. We enjoyed looking round Dobbies Christmas display at the beginning of October. Some of the things are lovely but i did raise an eye brow at the feather boa for your tree. Nope, we will just stick with regular decorations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had some cakes and coffee and juice and relaxed. The seats were really comfortable and I could just have sat there for ages and enjoyed the peace while the kids played outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the Monday Stuart was working all day so we decided to take the ferry over to Arran. The ferry is not far from where we stay so we drove down, left the car in a nearby car park and off we went. It wasn't really warm but it was dry so that was good enough for us.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year when we came to Arran with my mum and sisters these ducks were on a pathway and chased us. the kids thought this was great so it was a request when we came this time to go back and see the ducks. The ducks stayed in the lake this time but we still took and paid for some food at the honesty box. The ducks were happy I think and more appeared from further upstream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We walked back from seeing the ducks through a path we hadn't taken before. it was called Fishermans walk and took us right along the coastal trail via the golf course. It was a lovely walk. by the time we got back Joe played some crazy golf, Jess went into the gift shop which seemed to be having a sale and then we headed back for the next ferry. We were only there for about three hours but that was plenty when it wasn't the warmest day.</span></div>

It could only be one child as the other one doesn't move. Literally all night. But the other child well, he thought he would go downstairs to play the ds. I had nodded off thinking he had gone back to bed but no, he came up at 5.30 to tell me he had kicked over a glass and there was glass everywhere. So down stairs I stumbled to sweep up glass while half asleep and not in a great mood.<div><br></div><div>Then I saw the ds sitting on the table, singing away to its self. Ragin. Little guy denied he was playing it so everything got taking off him tonight for fibbing and being up at such a godforsaken hour.</div><div><br></div><div>I was a pleasure at work today. Thank god I got the hard stuff out the way yesterday.</div><div><br></div><div>So after work it was parents night. This turned the day round for me as both teachers gave glowing reports of my wee folk. Great imaginations (very much) , but chatty. (Errrr, that might be my fault) and good at maths (definitely their dads genes).</div><div><br></div><div>I came home from work and basically crashed. Stuart made the dinner and done, well, everything and I slept on the couch. Got up, had a bath and am now ready for the off again. I'm hoping to wake up I the morning with super human strength and the fabulous organisational skills.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm going to a care and support exhibition with my work tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to take some pics there.</div><div><br></div><div>Night night everyone, hope you all get a good sleep.</div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15643585668772185379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974186105358967797.post-2873493763780697042014-10-06T22:31:00.001+01:002014-10-06T22:35:22.404+01:00October catch up.I'm so excited that finally Octobers here.

On Wednesday night my mum, my three sisters and myself went to see Still Game at the Hydro in Glasgow. We were so high up but it was still really good. I had heard someone say the next day the Navid had stole the show but I didn't get that impression. Everyone was great.<br />
Before we went to the show, mum took us to TGI Fridays for our dinner. I had a steak and a cocktail. This was the best steak ever. Out waitress was American with this high ponytail. She reminded of the girl from Third Rock from the Sun.<br />
We walked back to Cental Station afterwards. Glasgow really is lovely at night. The BBC building was all lit up and the flats that are on the waterside are great, especially the penthouse flats. <br />

Belle and I put on our doggy walk yesterday. We thought we had just missed a shower but no, it started again whilst we were out but we were down the embankment so didn't get the full force.<br />

I've often wondered where this wee path goes to near the embankment but I'm not going to find out. I'm too wary of quite dark paths so it shall just remain a mystery.<br />

The wee brambles are still on the go. Not many of them granted. I wish I had picked some for my lovely smoothies while there were lots. Never mind, I will get in there early for next year.<br />

I got the last of the rhubarb and what was left of our apples for making a crumble. The colder weather is certainly upon us and I doubt I will get anymore rhubarb this year. The apple tree gave up her last remaining apple on Thursday so that's that. The crumble was amazing. No photos of that though, it's long gone.<br />

I've been busy crocheting lots of pumpkins and some cakes for the Macmillan sale at my work that was held last week. Apart from crumbles and fairy cakes my baking skills are limited so I decided to crochet cakes. As usuaI haven't got a complete list of the blogs I got the patterns from, but i will track them down. Lion brand website was definitely one of them.<br />
Now I'm just busy doing wee pumpkins for the Halloween bags.<br />
What's everyone else up to?<br />

<p> Been a while but then my blogging is a bit sporadic. This we know. </p>
<p>What have I been up to.....well a bit of this. I'm quite a keen supporter of the yes campaign for an independent Scotland. This doesn't mean I don't like England or Wales which I very much do and would hate for anyone to think I didn't. So after seeing the letters that are getting crocheted up for yarndale,I've decided that I would do a Yes flag, crocheted. <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/the-moogly-crochet-alphabet/" target="_blank" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Free Patterns: The Moogly Crochet Alphabet</a>. This is the link to the alphabet. My y is a bit wonky.</p>

<p> Soooo we are almost coming to the end of seven weeks of summer holidays. There has been a lot of minecraft during these holidays. We weren't able to get away this year and it's been days here and there courtesy mostly of the grandparents and a lot of swimming which luckily they love. </p>

<p> We had a trip to Dean Park in Kilmarnock and met these lovely goats. They were a lot nicer to us than they were to each other but we surmised that it was daddy and baby goat and daddy was showing him the ropes. Ermmmm.</p>

<p> It was my birthday during the hols and my lovely husband made me my very own cherry beer. I love cherries. Cherry coke, cherries looses, cherry jewellery etc. The beer was lovely. Didn't last long mind.</p>

<p> The above photo is a selfie I took for a nutri bullet competition. The main prize was a trip to LA but 20 runners up would win a nutri bullet 900. I was a runner up. I am so delighted. I have been wanting one of these for ages but funds would not allow and now there is one on its way to me.</p>
<p>So to round off my blog, first of a few I feel, I need to pay tribute to Robin Williams. My mind just can't register that this lovely, funny happy man is no longer living, breathing on this planet. It's a cold, stark reminder that everyone has their battles inside and often what you see is masking something that hugs can't fix. I always tell my kids I can fix anything with a hug. I hope they understand when they find out that sometimes this isn't true. I started this off last week. I love rainbows. I always loved the rainbow braces on Mork and Mindy. It's a phone cover. I'm using the same pattern / idea that sweet bee buzzing a used for her cushion cover. I will link it up tomorrow when I blog about the cushion I crocheted and depending of when I get up tomorrow (oooops, today) I might even finish the phone cover. I'm still deliberating, sock or cover with buttons.</p>

It was such a gorgeous day today really sunny and warm. I popped the headphones in put my art of <a href="http://homefries.com/show/the-simple-mom-podcast/freedom-from-stuff/" target="_self" title="">simple</a> podcast, episode 67 and off I went. </p><p>My morning had been full of spreadsheets and phone calls so it was a welcome relief to get out for a wee while, a walk along the sea wall. I sometimes don't think we appreciate where we stay enough. Mi sometimes hear people say of Saltcoats "oh we used to go there when we were wee". Well I have it 24 / 7 and I love it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg96LRk3Prk8iqRuOAnJgGsYAikw0-cBvCO1W89-6MleAyHELwV0X3X1qhFcpyrYskg0FG_i9cJbwwDg6X5HOcvVl80mYgzgmym3OHkTMFchryeO4TOkpjMHNVQU93zS_CLvTq0R4s41ww/s1024/Photo%25252020140611103923%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style=""><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg96LRk3Prk8iqRuOAnJgGsYAikw0-cBvCO1W89-6MleAyHELwV0X3X1qhFcpyrYskg0FG_i9cJbwwDg6X5HOcvVl80mYgzgmym3OHkTMFchryeO4TOkpjMHNVQU93zS_CLvTq0R4s41ww/s500/Photo%25252020140611103923%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1402522843152.6775" class="alignnone" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><p> Straight onto the harbour prom.

<p> I'm having a relatively early night. My mind is full of thoughts though. Tomorrow my oldest is 10. Where has the time gone. She is turning into such a lovely girl though we have the stroppy side to contend with but I'm sure that goes with the territory.</p>

<p> I have the most amazing minecraft cake for tomorrow. It's just awesome, made by someone I know through someone at work. </p>
<p>My wee boy is still only 7 for a few months. I love having them this age. I don't sit and wish for their baby years again, I don't know why, I just don't. </p>
<p> I'm not a clucky person with other babies, I like a hold and a cuddle knowing when they cry, it's back to mummy. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> This week in pictures is the week before last. It's been a busy time, buying a new fridge/ freezer, working and going to concerts. We went to see one direction on Tuesday but I will post about that another day as I still have a gazillion photos to sort through. Daughter took quite a lot of the persons head in front.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> Last Saturday was a really gorgeous day. It was so warm and sunny. We too the dog down to the beach park and the kids played while the dog and I played. Lots of people down with their dogs and I met one of my neighbours with her own dog and a dog she was dog sitting.</p>

<p>Sunday was a busy day for us too. Joe got baptised that day. I had never had him baptised as a baby, long story but we go to church very Sunday and his first communion is next year. It was a lovely service and the priest made it lovely for joe and his friend who was also being baptised.</p>

I'm starting off with my slimpod. It's a downloadable mp3 which helps you to lose weight. It's very short in length, about 8 mins per slimpod but that's all it takes.</p><p>I tried it before and it had good results, but then I started missing a night as I was tired and didn't give it the full chance though I know it will work. So tonight I'm starting again.

It's a day I start to dread at the beginning of May. It's like the countdown to being faced with a memory of the worst day ever. 22nd May, I despise you.</p><p>Thursday is a busy day at work and I work in Largs on a Thursday morning, out my own office. To be honest, I never asked for it off but I'm sure they would have allowed it. </p><p>Minuting a meeting is hard when you are thinking about the timeline of that day.</p><p>I wrote a lot more about that day but then deleted it. It's my memories but it's also my sisters and my mums memories. That's for them.</p><p>My wee boy went his p1 school trip that day. I had just dropped him off and waited for the bus to leave. I had just came off nightshift. It was walking bus week. All these memories that came to me throughout the day.</p><p>Love you dad xx</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15643585668772185379noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974186105358967797.post-73821965383032596152014-05-20T22:53:00.001+01:002014-05-20T22:53:44.799+01:00Thank you flowers<p> Today I got the most beautiful bunch of flowers delivered to my work as a thank you from my friend for finishing off her cushions. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilH1DdNBQDO4XzXuPV05JcowV5JSaWvQ6GxkjI__MSP7b8TxVJ3Xx0eLjU53mdyxs8_8_aRkYXYD3pm_8X5CbEOjP6hgCW4F94iya9DUiNocjxj1N1WgZCKUWRIDqAtQ0WqGCN-50YFf0/s1024/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilH1DdNBQDO4XzXuPV05JcowV5JSaWvQ6GxkjI__MSP7b8TxVJ3Xx0eLjU53mdyxs8_8_aRkYXYD3pm_8X5CbEOjP6hgCW4F94iya9DUiNocjxj1N1WgZCKUWRIDqAtQ0WqGCN-50YFf0/s500/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1400622824820.1223" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdjMNdyvh4pOixItFFuLKhtJeCU1_WXbbPj3yPK5Mz1izWmbghG_YSAWE-6olr1uM3roDUmjDm1S0JmP9031X1yVc2d61b3O-T64o2XtiNPBl4gMPP8uprovM-PTKIixSFIXRLSC46Vc/s1024/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdjMNdyvh4pOixItFFuLKhtJeCU1_WXbbPj3yPK5Mz1izWmbghG_YSAWE-6olr1uM3roDUmjDm1S0JmP9031X1yVc2d61b3O-T64o2XtiNPBl4gMPP8uprovM-PTKIixSFIXRLSC46Vc/s500/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1400622824856.8408" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="432" height="577"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNRVIor6ZohM5oLfWJBfIbhqREK5o5Z5pphizedIlg5v6P3_kS1O7vA5_pxj9sTQREcPZbpjnkbAnQDJEl44ifx5ynWkDeFgdQVgzt8zZDn-Qns3n8F-y_hFjao8QaOfvXmuGSM_u1xk/s1024/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNRVIor6ZohM5oLfWJBfIbhqREK5o5Z5pphizedIlg5v6P3_kS1O7vA5_pxj9sTQREcPZbpjnkbAnQDJEl44ifx5ynWkDeFgdQVgzt8zZDn-Qns3n8F-y_hFjao8QaOfvXmuGSM_u1xk/s500/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1400622824818.6685" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="410" height="548"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSxY3Dx16Uhzccnp9CBUZ4O8YGjKbf-Y-G0YG0JVyQYJ-XIYr6lyC0ukLdP_708GFHjy-IaoSmM6BuDoVmxh-GlsYIOGwurUfA8K3dS0IQ6VVE2n4lpILM19pZGAMdRYFT-WneEIVoUHc/s1024/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSxY3Dx16Uhzccnp9CBUZ4O8YGjKbf-Y-G0YG0JVyQYJ-XIYr6lyC0ukLdP_708GFHjy-IaoSmM6BuDoVmxh-GlsYIOGwurUfA8K3dS0IQ6VVE2n4lpILM19pZGAMdRYFT-WneEIVoUHc/s500/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1400622824897.4915" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJEgZZ3-q8m6kXyj0uGjCtnTBHIunUT0zqorRH9ESvMHuVUEK_ulMNf4qDG_oHsqGnDP07ompiMCOmngs1lhYNepcy-xj_y9JTixrINRq_IIsAoYfZ6vWtKqhOS6pd357XZpfRG4v2hw/s1024/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJEgZZ3-q8m6kXyj0uGjCtnTBHIunUT0zqorRH9ESvMHuVUEK_ulMNf4qDG_oHsqGnDP07ompiMCOmngs1lhYNepcy-xj_y9JTixrINRq_IIsAoYfZ6vWtKqhOS6pd357XZpfRG4v2hw/s500/Photo%25252020140520105215%252520pm.jpg" id="blogsy-1400622824845.4036" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="375" alt=""></a></div><p> They smell absolutely fantastic.

See my reclaimed, rescued chair. Isn't it lovely. I found it one morning when i had arrived at my destination. The idea was I would park about 10mins away from where I was going then when I was finished I could have a look about the shops before going back. Well.....arrived and out in the street was this chair and stool upside down. Not one to not notice these things I had a good look. I probably should have knocked some doors but it was really early so I stuck it in the back of my car and hey presto, it's here. Not everyone in the house likes it but my wee guy and dog do, and so do I so that's fine. The chair is now upstairs in my bedroom where I have a fantastic view right down the other street.</div>

I have to bid a sad farewell to my Wonder Woman cup. It had a nasty accident coming out the dishwasher so I told and it is now no longer a working cup, oh dear. What I spied from my window yesterday evening was a grown man, on one of those y flicker scooters. Off he went down the street. A bit odd but not that odd, it was Saturday night after all.<br />

Pacman donut. It was national donut week so it seemed only right to buy a few of the tasty dudes. I asked for the sparkly ones much to the bakery assistants amusement. And here is my jess pulling a face worthy of blogging. I love her expressions.</div>

I recovered these cushions for a friend. She had a rocking chair and wanted to recover so I offered. It didn't seem like too massive a job and I think I've done well but the bottoms are a bit untidy, not that you can see. I didn't go with zips, I wasn't that confident. I really hope she likes it. I facebooked her photos so she has seen it but not on her own chair. This is my reclaimed chair.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">This is my latest a finished granny square blanket. I started it months and months ago, probably last year? I spent ages yesterday tying in all the ends as though I thought I had crocheted over a lot, I clearly hadn't. I used lots of my stash of wool, which hasn't made must of a dent. It really hasn't. I must have had loads. The square is really big, it just doesn't look like it. It's draped over my reclaimed chair up in my bedroom now. I love that chair. It's my thinking, blogging and snoozing chair. Thank you whoever threw it out, it's made me very happy.</span></div>

I was looking for something to challenge me a bit. Something different from watching repeats of the same shows on BBC3. I have a thing about watching obsessive compulsive programmes but that in itself was becoming an obsession of its own.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, I joined a book club in Glasgow, at an <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oxfamglasgowcitybookshop?ref=profile" target="_blank">Oxfam Bookshop</a> that my cousin runs. <br>
<br>
The first book we read was a biggie <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bring-Up-Bodies-Hilary-Mantel-ebook/dp/B006PVYYEG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400101074&sr=8-1&keywords=bring+up+the+bodies" target="_blank">Bring up the bodies, Hilary Mantel</a> I cheated a bit though, I downloaded it and listened to it while I was dog walking. Perfect! I really enjoyed that book. Wasn't sure at first if it was going to be my cup of tea but it was all about a challenge, wasn't it.<br>
<br>
The second book I am struggling to remember. It might come back to me.<br>
<br>
The one after that, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Birdsong-Vintage-War-Sebastian-Faulks-ebook/dp/B0031RS68M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400101235&sr=8-1&keywords=birdsong" target="_blank">Birdsong by Sebastian-Faulks</a> I really loved that book. I must have been very ignorant about the first world war. I just didn't realise. Of course it was a war and people were going to get killed but the way they were sent out into the fields and there was no plan. Just killing. Its hard to put into words.<br>
<br>
Then we read <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=the+crimson+petal+and+the+white&sprefix=the+crimson+pe%2Caps%2C251" target="_blank">The Crimson Petal and the White</a> Didn't like it at all. Not one bit. Read two chapters and that was enough. <br>
<br>
Second last up was <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_13?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=the+power+and+the+glory&sprefix=The+power+and%2Caps%2C167&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Athe+power+and+the+glory" target="_blank">The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene</a>. Im still reading this. Well I say still, I have went back to it. I didn't get a chance to read it in time for the discussion at the book club but when they were talking about it and all the sections they liked, it gave me a taste to read it. I have finished the book we got last week <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fahrenheit-451-Flamingo-Modern-Classics-ebook/dp/B00BAJ6GL2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400101671&sr=8-1&keywords=farenheit+451" target="_blank">Fahrenheit-451</a> already. In under 1 week. Yes, I am very pleased with myself for that one. I thought this book was very thought provoking. A bit scary to think it was written a while ago and yet today there are similarities. People do go at 100 miles an hour through life. Not me, couldn't be bothered moving much faster than I do.<br>
<br>
So thats us up to date with the book club action. Three weeks till the next meeting so I may have the Power and the Glory finished by then. I do have a cheeky other book an the go that I downloaded tonight though so I may have to go between the two.<div><br></div><div>What I love about using a talking book is that I can crochet and listen, walk and listen, just sit and listen but I can't listen in bed or I fall asleep. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15643585668772185379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974186105358967797.post-44452367301854597392014-05-13T23:33:00.001+01:002014-05-14T18:24:18.345+01:00The last few weeks goings on<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Eco council for the school organised this for a few weeks ago and it was quite a success. The poor beach does get a bit of litter and it's not because there aren't bins.

To say I was excited was an understatement as there wasn't anything close by that was teaching total beginners.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diane that runs the classes is lovely. So friendly and encouraging. Saltcoats was really needing this type of shop and the classes. I love to think that I can make things for the kids though my daughter is at the stage where she might not be wanting to wear anything mummy made. How uncool of me to suggest it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, 6 or is it 7 weeks later, I have made a hold all type bag, a make up bag and Diane is now working on showing us how to make a top. I'm learning loads about how to move the fabric through the machine; I didn't realise how much I had been pulling the fabric through. The way I have been shown is so much easier and probably obvious to other people.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, back to the top. We have fitted the tops to ourself cut out the fabric and sewn the shoulders and neckline. Interfacing has been put on the neck and top stitching has been done on the inside of the neck. Now for the zip at the back. We have been practising hard with the zips. I have my top and zip home with me to practise on for next week though on my machine it may be a bit more tricky. My machine is an old singer and she is a bit of an older lady now. She pulls fabric through to the side a lot (it's not me honest) and I'm having all sorts of tension issues and snapage (yay for technical speak).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here is a few pictures from the class. I'm still a bit shy about asking to take pictures. Silly me.</span><br />

We are using a Janome Sewist at the class. Rather that than lugging my singer down just for it to show me up in front of folk by snapping and wandering to the side. I love it really.</div>

This is the start of my lovely top that I'm very proud of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always imagined doing necklines to be very difficult and way beyond what I was capable of but it was actually okay. I won't say easy as if it was that easy we (Diane and I) wouldn't have ripped it back a few times. Heyho, you live and learn.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been so long since I have blogged that I feel I really need to get back into the swing of it. August last year was my last blog. Poor show indeed. I went back to work full time shortlybefore that and if I'm honest I'm meeting myself coming back round.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a merry go round of packed lunches, school uniforms and home work with work and life thrown into the mix,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Im going to try hard to do at least one blog a week. Im sure I could manage that. Im not going to the moon or anything; but I do have fun, doing what I do with my little people, dog and husband.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also really need to tidy up the sidebar of this blog. My blog housekeeping leaves much to be desired. </span><br />

It's Saturday, the weekend, longer lie and 2 family days.<div><br></div><div>Yesterday was the first meeting of the knitting club at the library. I had taken a half day so I could go and support the library.</div><div><br></div><div>It was a great wee group. I knew some of the people then including a close friend and some of the librarians were there. I'm not going to be able to go again though as I can't get that time off on a Friday. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing that someone was doing was that caught my eye was crocheting with carrier bags. She was making a crochet bag with them. It looked right up my street. </div><div><br></div><div>So today i got on the iPad and looked up patterns and YouTube tutorials. So I found a YouTube tutorial by bethintx1 on plarning the circular way. It was a really helpful tutorial.
