Gee doesnt time fly!!!!
im back at work, another term, one week down nine to go..hey but whose counting right?

Well i havnt scrapped much so ill just throw up some ones i did a while back but havnt shown...this is just a quickie post as im now addicted to FACE BOOK!!!!! New i shouldnt have joined up..lol...

ok so just a quick share...

So ill pop back in tommorrow and have a little more time...

Well i know its been quite some time, and i didnt die or fall off the earth, but i have had a lot of changes in my life...

But apart from the many changes ive scrapped a wee bit...not much but i thought id start with a share and ill tell my story later.....

Well thats all for now, till i get back in the swing of things...cheers scrapcat!!!

Wow here we are the end of the month already!!!

Well ive had a couple of hectic days...

its taken me a day to get over..lol Yester day jack had two appointments at the mater childrens hospital, one for hearing and one for speech. Last week we had our first speech appoinment after a year of waiting and me telling everyone he had a problem and everyone saying, no he doesnt.. but guess what..he does have a problem quite a big one or two... so before they could do a formal speech assessment he needed his hearing checked as Alex had grommets at his age and his speech could be related to hearing loss. So i left at 8am just me and jack (as craig started new job yesterday.)left early so could get carpark, food for jack and find exactly where to go with time to spare..or so i thought.....what should have been a 40 minute drive turned into two hours due to a break down on the M1 in peak hour....grrrr, i get to the hospital 10 minutes late by now to find the car parks fulll...what the !!!!! had yto park at the mater private parking..just got in before they closed that...turned up late, hot and sweaty for running around looking and jack starving.... go in for check look in ears, only to hear the doctor say..he has something wedged in his ear, blocking it.... great..just great i murmer. after two other doctors look at it they inform me its not wax but a foreign body.(yes there was probably an opening for a joke there but i wasnt in the mood, still angry over the car parks full, how you supposed to get to appoinments....) any how i digress,,,the doctor informs me....needs to be removed...but we will givve him the hearing test and see what happens..well left ear is pefect right ear, where foreign body is holidaying we cant give a positive reading as he isnt responding to testing in this ear which could be because of the blockage pr perhaps somthing else...so they ring ENT could they look at it...no we need a refferal from a GP..what!!!! im at the hospital surely they can reffer me?..oh no..i can go to emergency and wait to get looked at but they seem to think its going to need surgical removal due to where it is and jacks age (not good for keeping still) ok so then we go off to our speech appoinmetn only to be told we cant do formal assessment until hearing test is done... what the!!!!! yes by this time its 1pm and i am going home..what a waste... but on the other hand i went to day care and got jack in ..so today he had his first day at day care and he loved it...yay!!!!!! couple of photos to share...

Now here is a link to a blog that has some interesting stuff on it!!!

Well its finally happened, my eldest kids have moved outta home!!!!!!

Now i know ive been waiting for this day with anticipation,,,,two spare rooms, means a scrap room, smaller food bills, no worrying about them being out late, no arguements and no more sibling rivalry...

But....

But,,,,

im feeling very lonely and ...hmmmm, childless.

Yes i know i have two others at home, still when i think of my babies..lol, out in the big world, i feel a page of my lfe has turned, a chapter closed....

and when i told craig just how i felt, with my little chickens flying the coup...

his reply was

......lets feather the nest with more chicks!

Now i do hope he means the feathered variety, or perhaps a puppy or kitten....

But i really cant complain cause they have been home every day since they moved out on Wednesday..lol..

Phone rings..."mum how do we put on the electricity?..."..

Phone rings... "mum could you come over and bring my clothes out of the washing machine...?"

Phone rings....."mum how does the washing machine work?"

Phone rings....."ummmmmm do we have gas or electricity????"

car pulls in drive way, all the kids pile out...'mum can you make us a list of all the things we will need in the kitchen....

"mum do we need a shopping list?

what do we put on the shopping list?

how much will it cost?

how do we pay bills?

can you come shopping?

yes this was day one and the others have been pretty much the same...

and this is monday and still two kids are here, getting dinner, cause they havnt planned out who will be cooking what days... using the dryer, the computer, asking for some money...

Hmmm so much for moving out....lol..

so i really shouldnt complain!!!!

now i have some layouts to share...
