Ooh I can see them now, thanks hatz, they are fab! If you have a look at the quilt, my son is in the photo called Prom Boy (obviously taken before he set off for his Prom; he certainly did not look like that when he got back!)

aww thanks everyone :) ... i saw prom boy the other day hehe! and i can understand he didn't turn back up at home like that! lol ... boys will be boys!!!!!

well i logged on to the website last night and was highly disapointed! i know there are 4 houses on THIS estate that are up for grabs from the council but for some odd reason they'v not got them on there sight :( only ones they got are for Coalville! and for 2 reason's i'm NOT moving there!!! (well 3!) 1 my son's school is here!, 2 my work is here! 3 his dad is THERE! haha!!!!!!!!!!! so 3 reason's why i'm not moving in to coalville! lol i'll keep lookin just incase they add more houses with in these first 2 weeks! cuz ... you never know! lol they last updated it on 4th april so shall see what happends!

ooo cat's having his bit's chopped tomorrow! hehe! goin to make him a bit less of a him! as he's worked out he can spray and he's a bit on the male hypo side at the moment! lol so were goin to get them chopped off and hopefully he'll start calming down!!! he's 7months old now so is able to get it done and my step dad's sister had all but £30 payed up for a compleat package for first injections, micro chipping and castration! so mum's booked him in at his vet's and will only have to pay the remaining £30 to get the things done with! :) Have to say i think he's done really well and settled right in to this house hold sayin that he'd only been with my step dad's sister for 2 months when she died, we cought him and brought him here when he was only 4months old and he's now part of the family at 7months! (well even at 6month i think he was fully in the family!)

Any ways parents (and me!) are after a cuppa so better go make them one! :) ttfn, glad you like my piccies i'll add some of my son's art work at some point! :) see what i can find! :)

Hi hatz,

          I`m sorry you were dissapointed last night when you were trying to find properties to bid on. We have the same system here and I for one dont like it. The properties that you say are available on your estate call the council and ask if they are going on the bidding cycle and if not why not. You might find that although the properties might be empty they are not voids, it could be that they need to serve notice on the previous tenants, this can be long winded, if the previous tenant for example have just left the property without telling anyone then the council may not even know the property is vacant you would be surprised how many times thay happens, once they are made aware that its empty they then have to try and find out why and then they serve a notice which involves posting a letter to the property asking the tenant to get in touch and informingthem that if they dont then in 30 days the council will take possesion. There is also the possibility that the properties that you have identified might need work doing on them and as its just been the end of the financial year the council might well have chosen to wait till after the 6th April to start the repairs again this isnt uncommon.

I would have a walk around the estate and take a note of any properties that you find are empty, then give the council a call or pop in to the office and ask about each one, there are no guarantees you would be offered one but looking on the other side of it it would mean 4 more people would be rehoused and therefore off the waiting list so taking you nearer to getting somewhere.

Hope that all makes sense when you read it, I know what I mean but its not always easy to convey when writing it down xxx If there is anythng you dont understand from what I have written please do say and I will re write it for you and try to explain it better xxxLaughing

nah that makes perfect sence tiredmum! lol (prob only cuz i know how SLOWLY they work!!! lol) but as for the repairs in the last yr we'v had our roof and inslation done, doors next on the list is the windows! (as loads of people have said that there windows no longer shut properly!!! or which there is 2 in this house but as so many people have said that there not shuttin there doin the whole lot inc. the toilet room one which is only A4 size wide and about 3 A4 pages length ways on top of each other!!! so it's TINY!!!) so everything being done at the moment and with about 3 (ok all different) contract workers on this eastate working at the moment they have to report back to the council about 1 the state of the properties, 2 if any seem to need more work on them than what's been reported and 3 if they don't get a reply from a house/if any are empty! so they should have a good and upto date track of houses round here at the moment! i know there's one goin to be deffently comin up for the grabbs soon only a couple probs wrong with it! ... 1 it's only got 1 bed room and 2 it's a bungalow! haha!!! so 99% sure i wont be getting that one!!! lol Just got to keep lookin and loggin on i guess! if nothin changes by end of next week i'll give them a call and just ask if there's any they know of goin in this area and see what they say then! ... I suprised that there's none listed for the other end of town and the other 2 big estates cuz 9 times out of 10 there's usely 2 or 3 goin on each of those estates but there we go! lol see what happends and comes up ay!

oooo FRIDAY tomorrow! :D like firdays! lol last day of school for the monster, last day at work for me, and wiggly readers! :D yay! :D see how many we got this week! think it's my time before the easter break starts next week cuz the teachers are keeping the book bags to take a stock check of all the books they have from monday so don't think i'll be reading next week! ... will have to find out! :)

Any ways i'm goin to head up to bed, got to be up in the morning as monster was meant to have a bath tonight but by time we'd eaten tea and everything it was past 7pm so it was a case of oh! lol run out of time!!!! so we'll just have to get him in there in the morning! ... wonder if i can convince him to have a shower instead of a bath!!! HUMMMMMMMm ......

any ways! lol heading off now :) nighty night night x

ahh! the cat is over the op now! haha!! he jumped up on the back of the settee down my arm on to the arm of the settee and then from there jumped right across the table and knocked of my son's pen pot and lay on the floor looking around as if to say it wasn't me!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahhahahaa! lil bugger! (he's now flaked out on the other settee!!)

well after an early start to the day my son waking up at 6am and decided that he was in need of the toilet and then he was hungry!!! so he had his breakfast then! lol and then we both went back up in to bed! i fell back to sleep till 8 and my son sat there and played on my DSlite and changed all the settings on it!!! grrrrrr!! (he did get told off cuz as i put it to him it's not HIS DS it's MINE!!!) so at about 8:30 we got up and sorted out and went down town early brought a few things (mainly things from co-op, breakky for Mr man, bottle pepsi and 6 pack of magners! (thought i'll treat my self today!)) 1/2 way in to town my son decided that he was hungry again! so brought him a crossant from Greggs (infact thinkin about it he's done nothin but say he's hungry all day today! haha!!!) we then came home at 10:30 and started to help me mum in the garden of which we'v done really well between us!!! chucked out a compost bin full of compost (of course! haha) and turned that in to the veg patch so that's all resting again now we'v chucked in all of that stuff we'v collected over the past 2yrs that we'v had the bin for! :) I made us all dinner which was a lovely summery meal with crackers, cherry tomartoes, cucumber, cheese, apple and pear! then went and finished off in the garden which wasn't much! at about 1 we all came in (mainly due to my son and thinking he shouldn't really be out at this time of day in this heat!!!) so we all came in, mum had a shower and we'v watched toy story 1 and 2! :) (of which i fell asleep and missed the whole of the middle of both haha!!!) parents went out about 3 and came home (just after i woke up!!) about 5! after they'd been shopping and i helped bring in the food then me mum set to work on tea! which was a nice indian :) and mr man had the rice with a few other little bits :) and really i guess that's been it for the day!!! mr man's been in the bath and is now settled in bed, i'm sat here forcing my eyes to stay open! my step dad's been sat on the settee for the past hr asleep! and my mum's doin her patch work that she decided to do for no reason at all!!! lol

so yup like i say now is ... now! :) how's all your days been? ... enjoying the sun shine i hope!!! :) i have i know that for sure! :D didn't get burnt tho so that's at least 1 good thing :D altho my feet have become very nice and brown with the lovely pattern on from the trainers i was wearing!! (little trainers designed in the shape of a shoe and a strap across the top of the foot!!!) Thinking of goin swimmin tomorrow (just got to see on 1 part of the body and if it's stopped!!) and if not then we'll go out for another walk :)

hope that you'v all had a nice day and well turn in to a nice weekend!! :) oooo when me mum took the cat down to the vets they weighed him and said that he's now 3kg and when he was weighed back in september when me step dads sister had him he was 3.5kg's so he's lost some weight some where, but what we cant work out is the fact that were feeding him more that what she was and is getting a better balanced diet now but yet he's still lost that weight! lol but there we go! lol they did say he was goin to be a big cat!!! which we kinda guessed any ways cuz he's only 7months old and is on par with a 2yr old cat! :O where-as my cat who was 15 weeks when i got her i took her down the vet's and they said to check how old she was cuz they didn't think she was old enoguth to be away from her mum!!! lol she's TINY :)

well i'm goin to get oin for a bit! :) chat to you laters :) x

Sounds as if you enjoyed the sunshine hatz. That was unusual, your boy getting the munchies, I know sometimes you worry about him not eating. Glad the cat is recovering from the op and hope you have a good Sunday, it is not so sunny here today, although still nice Laughing

i'v not been able to fill him up this weekend so i guess he's having another groth spurt!!! dose that every now and then! lol

it's been another nice day today temp getting in to the top 18dc! we went swimming this morning and then brought some sandwiches and sat on a bench in the sunny spot of town and ate are dinner! :) we then walked home via the play ground out side of school and let him play there for an hr then came home for 3pm! :) me step dad then decided to get him out on his electric landrover round the estate and then i decided to give it a good run round (as it's not been used for a little while!) and took him back to the park we'd just (pretty much) come from and let him go around there which he really enjoyed and then headed off home ... where he lost consentration and decided not to listen to me and as he wouldn't stop i grabbed the back of the landrover and it did a wheelie which actually scared him!!!! but he got his consentration back with it and started doin as i told him again!!!!!! (he's fine now after that, but as he lost total consentration over his driving he needed to get it back else he'd of been in trouble with a moving car!!!)

ANY WAYS!! saw my brother in town today but he's not too good at the moment :( he's having a spot of bother with owing people some money and he's not able to pay them back at the moment so it's all coming to a head :'( ... i'm just hoping it's one of those down spots where you cant do anything then all of a sudden bamm it's back to normal ... just got to see what happends i guess! Could tell he wasn't with it really! i asked him what he wanted for his birthday (tomorrow) and he stood there and was like when is it my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he said he needs new boxers lol so said i'll get him a voucher for clothes and he'll be able to get what he wants and everything!!! just wish i could help him out a little bit but my budget dosen't strech that far :( but least he'll be able to get some new clothes!!!

well i hope that we'v done enough messin about outside to get the monster to go straight asleep tonight! we'v got this week left at school then were off :D then not back in till the 3rd may and off on the 5th for the elections! and back in again on what ever the next school day is after that! haha!! :)

well i'm goin to head off for a bit, hope you'v had a good day :)

the voucher is a good idea hatz.  Very upsetting and difficult though seeing him in this way.

yup it sure is! apparently he's been battin them off for a while but they'v cought up with him so i hope that he's able to get thru it all and out the other side.

i'v ended up gettin him a voucher from post office which is ONE4ALL so there's loads of shops that acept them and i put £15 on it! :) so he can either get him self clothes or put it towards the screwdrivers he wanted so he's got the choice! lol

lol you know the women that i keep having problems with!! (yes that (cough cough) lovely women!!!) we (me and my son) were out front chattin to the lad over the road (who gose to another school out of town!) and she walks out of her house so i step back with my son and the lad over the road is chattin away to us (he's a bit on the slow side of life!) didn't see her coming i tried to tell him she was goin to come thru the middle of us but he didn't twig... but when she was right there i turned to him and said J. do you just want to move in towards your car to let T. go past! she looked up in suprise cuz I know what her name is! HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! it was almost as tho she didn't know what to do! hehe!!

ooo my step dad's birthday tomorrow! :) a little while back i brought him a decupage (3d) meerkat birthday card and got my son to sign that off for him, I found one that had a pic of a tigers face on it and then i was totaly flumuxed as to what to get him for a pressy! me mum gave me an idea of a book about walks and pubs things like that. so i went round the 3 shops that sell books in town and didn't find any for this area .... as i said to the lady in WHSmiths i bet everywhere but Leicestershire sells them!! haha! so then i went to the St Gilles book shop and found 501 places to visit in England and Ireland so he's ended up with that! which he seemed pretty impressed with! :) so if there ever heading out with the caravan or just want to visit some where they can look in the book and find out what's there and see what's what around the place! :) so he's happy with that! :) (yes i'm talkin as tho he's had it all ready... which he has cuz he's got a full day tomorrow and said that he's out in the morning and wont be back till late and prob go straight to bed so he asked to have things tonight!!!)

Any ways x mum's not far from comin home so goin to go get the kettle filled and ready for her to have a cuppa whe she (ring ring!!! was her! lol) comes in :)

Hi hatz. That's a lovely present for your brother and your step-dad. I hope they enjoy. Sorry to hear about your brother and the debt. It's awful isn't it, the situation I mean. Does he work? Is he able to pay a little bit back to each person, and hopefully keep them off his back for a while? Don't know what to suggest other than that I'm afraid.

Hope you and C have a good day. xx

Hi hatz

Sounds like you got the upper hand with that lady on your road, haha.

The prezzies sound nice:-) Re your brother, he could go to the Citizen's Advice bureau and get them to negotiate a debt plan for him which would be more managable. If he is on benefits, there is a helpline for legal advice about various things including debt, see here

Hope you have a good day today

I don't really know if he's on benifits or not but prob not cuz he cant really show how much he's gettin from my step dad for the work he's done! it's all confusing! ... CAB people last time i went to them they turned to me and said that i'm not in enough debt for them to deal with! :O haha! (which i pretty much did lauch in there faces at that comment!!!)

evenin! :) had a pretty good day today! :) (altho lunch time was actually BORING!) think it's cuz all the yr 6's are off on residential this week! lol so we'v got no fights goin on in the foot ball area! and no one really jumping on top of each other when they'v scored a goal and the such! lol so it's just goin to be one of those week! lol

from what I gather my son's had a good day at school today! :) he's been chattin away about Bat's mainly tonight sayin that they fly at night and hang upside down and they eat flies! so it's been pretty interesting with what he's been comin out with tonight! :) But he's also been VERY tired, which was ok last night/this morning as i woke up with an empty bed for the first time in a long time!!! I was up about 5 past 7 and had to run down to the loo lol so by time i went back up it was probably 10 past 7 popped my head in to see my mum and said i'v woke up with an empty bed and wondered if he'd gone in her room which he hadn't so i went in his room and there he was fast asleep still!!! ... now if only it was next week!!! lol ... so I stood there for a few mins just watching him sleeping (as you do!) then wispered very very quietly, can I climb in bed with you! and he woke up and said NO mummy your too big for my bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!! so it was about 1/2 past 7 by time he'd got up and had breakfast! :) so he had a lie in this morning!!! :) but any ways back to tonight bout 5:45pm he was gettin really ratty and kept yawning his head off so i put him in the bath to keep him awake a bit longer and then i had me tea and i got him out for when pudding was ready got him in his PJ's and he had some strawberries and cream with us! and about 7:30 i put him in bed!

Thinkin about things this week tho ... we'v not been able to fill him up, he's been very sleepy, and getting very ratty ... I think he's having another growth spurt!!! as when he was a baby and had a growth spurt he was pretty much exactly the same! I'd find he went up 2oz on his milk the same time he went up a clothes size! so I think this is how he's goin to be when he's havin a growth spurt he's goin to get very hungry and tired and ratty easily! lol (whoop good luck to me when he's a teenager!!!!!! haha)

any ways :) i'm goin to head off for a bit! oooooo! lol i'v found a really good App for my phone! it's called toddlerlock and it's a game (kinda) that you can have open on your phone and if your child comes up and touches the screen or ANY buttons it just chimes and puts shapes on the screen! haha! it's wicked! :D found another one which is kiddy draw and you just run your finger down the screen and make patterns and shapes, you can change the type of pen used and get different textures! lol so my son's been happy playin with them tonight! haha... least it means if were out and i'm talkin to someone i can pass him my phone and he can play away till his heart is content!!!! hehe! Had to laugh! when i loaded up the toddlerlock game it came up on the front page .... THIS IS NOT A BABYSITTER! you have to watch your children at all times and never leave them alone with technolagy! hahahahaha! :D

Oh dear, toddlerlock, I suppose they put that warning on so that people could not say it was their fault if you did not watch your child.

It does sound as if it is a growth spurt, watch out and don't get him any new trousers until it has settled down!

I know tell me bout it ... i just put all the hems UP on his trousers hahaha!!!! how typical is that lol, we had a VERY unsettled night last night with him thrashin about, bangin his head and arms on the sides of his bed i thought it best he'd come in with me, that way he wouldn't get hurt... was just me being hit and kicked all night!!! I don't know what he was dreamin about or any thing but he wasnt half chuckn him self about the bed... worst thing was I couldn't wake him :( he was in such a deep sleep I couldn't bring him round fully to get him away from where he was in his dream :( I asked him this mornin what he was up to last night and if he had any dreams but he just said no and i don't know?? so god only knows what he was up to or where he was last night! but there we go!

mmmm i'm stockin up on some nice hot cerial and a cup of tea cuz it aint half gone cold :( and I suddenly found my self sat here shivering!!!! so thought i'll go get some hot food in me and warm back up slightly!!! :)

not long till i got to go work now! and freeze my feet off at work!! (think i'll go find some socks that i can wear with these trainers i got! lol ... made a couple of parents laugh yesterday! we were talkin about the fact that the sun had gone and i said yes my feet LOVED the sun this time round, took a foot out my shoe and showed them my lovely tan patteren on it! haha!!! nice big (almost) square shape right in the middle of my foot! hahahahaha

HEHE! zebra head! hehe! ... do think it's funny what shapes you can get from the sun (tan) when not really payin attention! couple yrs ago (before the time of monsteroo!) I went and did a car boot sale (with who is now his god mother!) and I was wearing a small top which had the main body and about 4 straps that went across the shoulders! I came home from that day out (not warn any sun cream so was a bit RED!) and I had zebra stripes on my shoulders, a semi circul on the back of my neck, from the top's of my arms all the way down was red but missing my elbows out as for some odd reason they just didn't get touched! I had a watch on which was like my shoulder straps! so i had a LOVELY pattern on my whist! and around the lower part of my back where the tshirt had made a gap I had a lovely patch there!!!!!!!! and i was like that for about 4 days!!!! very sore VERY RED and VERY odd patterned! ... it was all right when i went brown as you couldn't see all the patterns very well! lol but while i was red i stuck out like a sore thumb!!!!!!!!!!!

Well monsteroo has apparently had a good day today! he fell over at dinner time and hurt his bottom! and then kept telling me that he wanted to come home cuz he was very tired! had to tell him that he's got to stay in school, so he wasn't too happy with me there! but he was fine when he came out from school this afternoon! I had a quick chat to his teacher to see if anything had cracked off yesterday at school that could have been a reason for his night time behaviour but she couldn't really think of anything and said all the children are tired at the moment and puts it down to ... End-of-turm-itus!!!!!!!! (her words! hehe) as I told her that i couldn't even wake him when i picked him up she was lookin shocked! as she all ready knows that he's a light sleeper when it comes to me touchin him in the night he at least stirs but quiet often wakes up and mutters something! so when i told her that i picked him up and he didn't wake up she knew what kind of night he had! and why i was kinda anxious as to if anything had gone on in the day! but she couldn't think of anything that would have triggered anything off, so I just guess it was a weird night and i hope that he dosen't have another one like it too soon!!! beleive me ... I need my SLEEPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

well he deffently had a better night last night! altho he's woken up with growin pains in his hips, bless him! altho he said yesterday that his hip hurts him but i put it down to the fact that he did fall on his bottom at lunch time!

Nah theres no real sun shine here either! lol and there's no possible chance of me getting the strap marks either! lol i'v long out grown that top! (altho it was one of my fave's at the time!) but then goin back to that point i was a size 14 more on the lines of a 20 now! (but shrinking! hehe)

not got much planned for Easter, mainly due to the fact that i'v got no money! but also that i want a break from doin everything every day! and want to RELAX! will pop over to the Zoo one day in the holidays but that's about it really! lol prob go to the shops and out of town swimmin and that but it's not planned! lol

but there we go! lol it's all sorted THANKFULLY! lol cought it early before it went too far!

had a good day yesterday ... and today! :) last day at school/work today so everyone was in a happy mood! and only had 1 problem we had today but i turned to him and said... Look, you'v not had a good week, now we dont want to leave here on the last day with a red card on a bad note do you?? ... Now go and play! grr! lol had enough of that certain person this week! lol so glad it's the Easter holidays now can get away from school kids for a bit! :) 

I love but hate this time of yr! when all the pollen starts kicking in and everyone starts cutting the grass, sets off all my allergies! lol at the moment i'm having to take my inhalours on a regular basis again :( been finding that my chest keeps getting VERY tight, so thought it best to get them started off again before it gets so bad that i cant breath! The hayfever spots that i get have come up on my hands (there like a rash that just spread all over my hands and arms) VERY ITCHY! so i end up takin Loratadeen to calm that all down and then i have to put the creams on! AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! lol so i cant wait for everythin to settle down then my allergies can also settle down with it! lol ... on that note! got to do our grass tomorrow lol so it's goin to be fun! haha!!!

any ways! i'm goin to get goin, head of to bed shortly! :) and see what tomorrow brings :)

Hi hatz, glad you sorted your computer out, it is annoying when they pick a virus up isnt it.

So glad you have had a good couple of days xxx Hayfever season seems to have started early this year dont you think? I am lucky none of my children suffer from it and I only get it occasionally I guess it depends on the type of pollen although not sure. Do hope you manage to get the grass cut tomorrow and dont suffer too much for it xxxLaughing

That's so clever sorting out your computer!  I dread it happening as I wouldn't know where to start sorting it out!

I've noticed I've been sneezing - don't you just love pollen?!  I'm sorry you're suffering though.

Take care.

Hi hatz. glad you are Ok but sorry to hear about the allergies. It feels as if ALL the different pollens have started at the same time this year instead of being staggered.

Pity you can't get someone else to do the lawn seeing as it sets off your chest. Just think: one day your son will be the one doing it. I love it that my boys can look after ME a bit these days Laughing

hehe! my sonny boy wanted to do it today! but being nearly 5 and the fact that i was using a strimmer i was VERY unwilling to let him try!!! he turned round to me and asked "why" (as he always dose when the answer is nope!) so i decided to test him and said Why do you think?? he came back at me with the answer off ... cuz it's noisy so i said there is that point! yes, why else do you think you cant use it!? he then says cuz i'm 4! that's another BIG point! well done, there is another answer thats why you can't use this and he (finely) turned to me and said cuz it's plugged in! :D WHOOP my clever boy! lol... but it's all done, yes i had to stop twice! i started at 9am and finished at 2:30! haha!!! ok our garden is big, and had 2 breaks 1 which was about an hr long and the other was bout 2 (dinner! lol) ended up with that tight chest feeling so set to work with my inhalours ... which gave me a strange feeling of being able to breath but not at the same time as my chest was getting tighter but the med's were starting to work at the same time! haha! least it sorts it's self out with the meds in me! and i agree everything has come in one HUGE go instead like you say staggered! we'v got everything from grass (ok it's the first decent time we can actually cut the grass round here being on a clay based soil!) apple tree blosom, along with cherry trees! but the one that gets me the most is hedges! it's a strange one but i can sure say the most annoying one as hedges are EVERYWHERE! but now there coming back to life with new leaves it's them that are setting things off for me! My son dosen't suffer too bad with hayfever but dose get the odd day where it hits him and he ends up having YUCKY hayfever meds! bless him, he hates the stuff but told him that when he's older he'll be able to have the tablets and they dont taste at all!!! so we usely sit there me with the med's ready for him (thankfully he only really needs 2.5ml 2-3 times a day!) and him with a chocolate in his hands, he gose 1.2.3. opens up meds go in, he swollows quickly pulls a face and eats the choc! lol bless him x

Had a really good day today :) after did the garden and everything (animals etc!) took my son off down the park which amazingly was totally EMPTY! :O (first for everything on such a good day!) then after about 5mins of no one being there 3 children turned up (1 of which was from school!) then 2 more turned up which cheered my son up cuz it was one his mates! :D so they had half hr playin together and messin bout so they were both happy when they saw each other!

I decided what i'm goin to do for my son's birthday in June! just goin to use the park get loads of his friends down make loads of picnick sandwiches and the such and have lots of things they can play with, mess about with and that way I don't have to worry bout how many children turn up, don't have to worry bout the house! or anything!!! :) .... so long as the weather is GOOD! lol :) ... don't need to worry about money then! lol hireing places out and getting them to do the food! lol

lol i can sort little things out on the computer lol and with the anti virus protection i got at the moment it's just a simple click and move and it gets rid of it all so it makes life a LOT easier! lol, I just applyed to (applying!) do a computer course with the OU which will lead on to another course which will gain me some qualifications in computer life and not just knowing the stuff which i hope will gain me more oppertunities in a job!!! lol

any ways :) i'm goin to head off got the tired head comin on me again! :) so goin to start shuttin down and get to my bed before i fall asleep on the settee! :)

Hi hatz. That's a great idea, party in the park. Saves on lots of mess, kids have heaps to do etc. Well done on applying for the OU computer course. Once you pass, you can help the likes of me, hehe. Am off to bed soon too. Hope you all have a good sleep, you deserve it after working so hard in the garden. xx

yup, and it'll be soo easy to find! lol ... just out side school! haha! :) gather a lot of games and things they can play with in the park and all should be fine :) couple mats/rugs to sit on for dinner time and that should be about it really! (just got to make sure that we don't choose the same day as the football's on! lol)

had a good day today :) went swimmin this morning and met one of my son's school friends who were swimming too! so they had fun messin bout and things :) ... need to get my son's swimmin up to standard, he can do doggy paddle and make a lot of splash but that's about it! but then he's a bit like me when it comes to swimmin! heavey weighted belly! lol so when it comes to swimmin we actually SINK! lol but he also HATES having water go in his ears and eyes so when he tries to float he keeps his head upright!!! so goin to get him an ear protector when my things are payed for on ebay!

after swimmin we walked home and had dinner! and then we've just been chillin out for most the afternoon, went outside just before tea and then he went back out after wards! and at 6:30 i asked him to come in and we went up to my bedroom and watched toy story that finished at 8 and he said he wanted to stay up a bit longer so I found Mr Bean on the telly and so he watched that till 8:30 then i said right mate it's bed time!! but mummy i'm not YAWN! tired!!!!! haha! night night babe! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz! lol pretty much out like a light! :D

well i'm off to check ebay stuff and put the ones back on that haven't sold and see if the one that's got bid's on has sold yet or if i got another hr on it! lol :)

so ttfn and night night from me! :)

Glad you had a good day with your son hatz, and brilliant idea about the party in the park. When is his birthday?

lol you lot make me laugh! :D (in a VERY good way of course! :D) His birthday's middle of June! so hoping it'll be hot hot hot! :D ... it was that time 5yr ago! lol goin to try get me hands on some out side games for the kids to play hopefully the toy library is still running at that point and will be able to get loads of stuff from there! :D

we'v had a semi good day today! (note the word SEMI!) started of brill but then went down hill from when we left the house really! he decided to run across a road ... (thankfully it's one of the smallest roads out and gets 1 car go up and down it every now and then!) but i still told him off for not at least standing next to me! then he kept jumpin up and down when he was holding my hand (his way of getting me to let go of him!). All day he's spoken to me in a wingey voice which really gets to me! then he's just been rather annoying! but other than that it's been an ok sort of day!

I do how ever think I know why he's been a bit ratty today (other than change of ruteen!) at Tea time he didn't want to eat his dinner and kept playin with his ear and sayin it hurt him, so of course we did the ... don't play with it then, stop puttin your finger in there! etc but he couldn't stop it! and one point he did start cryin, so we knew it did hurt him. we got him to eat 1/2 his dinner and for his pudding he had a good does of calpol! lol he STILL couldn't stop playin with it so he's ended up with some cotten woll on the out side of his ear (not stuck down it!) to at least get him to stop puttin his finger in it! so were off to a trip down the DR's tomorrow to see what's wrong with it! ...... think the swimmin illness has grabbed him again!, when he was a baby i use to take him he'd end up with the runs afterwards! then as a toddler we went thru a spate of ear infections (usely start up 1-2 days after swimmin!) so i stopped goin for about 2yrs just incase it was one of these things that he would get as a baby so i was hoping he'd grow out of it as he got older and the such! but obv's not! it's hit again! :( grrr! see what the dr's says tomorrow and what he thinks about it!

well he's in bed now! was goin to keep him up till 8 but he kept sayin he wants to lie down so I said come on then lets get you in bed! so he's tucked up and probably fast asleep now! :) he's kept the cotten woll in his ear (as far as i know! lol) and will see how he gose! :)

sold the Toy Story blue ray box set on ebay! re-listed the others that didn't sell! lol hoping the horse riding helmet gose as that's a lovely lump sum of money heading my way! :D but shall have to see what happends! :D

Hi hatz

Hope your boy had an Ok night and that you get an appointment with the doc to see what is wrong with his ear. Good luck with your wheeler-dealing as well Wink

Hi hatz. Hope your son is ok today, and he had a good nights sleep, you too of course. Maybe a dose of antibiotic if he has ear infection. Good luck at Drs.

well didn't get to see my usual dr (as usual! lol) so saw some one else who dosen't really know my son's ear history other than he's always seems to get ear infections after swimmin etc but there we go, she just said that there is a lot of WAX in there and adviced me to get some drops to see if we can get rid of it all and then see what it's like after that! so that's what i'v done really! lol just goin to do that every night for a week and see how he is! ... seems to be like me with the ear wax problems!! lol

but i'v managed to get him some swimmin aids which are, some ear bands  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170624692411&ssPage... and some clam shells that he saw and said that he would like them! you drop them in the water and they open up and you have to bring a pair back up! so it's shallow end play for the time being! lol and the dive sticks he's seen other children playin with too! :) so hopefully with these ear bands he'll be able to cope with goin under the water and not having so much water go in his ears! (hopefully non at all!) ... i did read with one ear band post that they do protect ears from ear infections and so was even more of a prompt for me to buy them!!!! and the fact that i had some money in paypal bank was an even bigger prompt for me to buy them! lol

had a lovely day today! :) went in to town for the drs, then realised i'd left the parcel at home!! and so ended up comin home and goin back out again, but as it was SOOOOOO nice today i grabbed a couple of sandwiches from the shop and hit the park!!! (LARGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE feild!) and we sat there eatin our sandwiches and lay on the grass chillin out! :) my son had his hands on my phone and i did actually drop off at one point for a few mins! lol but was (thankfully!) woken up by my son turning to me and sayin mum I need a little run round! hahahaha! so i told him to go for it! there wasn't many people about so he wasn't goin to get in any ones way, and tbh it's the type of park where you can have a good 2hundred people and still have space to run around on! :D We came home about 2:30 and as he'd been such a good boy today he was able to have his new trains and so he spent most the afternoon in his bedroom playin with his train set! :) so he's been a very happy little laddy today! :D

other than all that, we saw his god mother :D (who he actually reconised!) not seen her in about a yr! :O so we had a natter to her while she was waiting for the bus to go to work! :) last time i text her she was jetting over to rome! lol her partner is a piolet so she gets to head over to many places when it involves him stayin some where for a night or so!!

any ways i'v got to head off for a bit now! :) hope that your all having a LOVELY april summer! i know i am! :D chat soon x
