17th birthday

Today's Daves 17th birthday... no pressies today he got it the other day...we put an ipod on layby with some other bits and with some cash that he got off the family he picked it up off layby.
Happy birthday Davo

Karen and the kids are coming around after for cake and coffee...and Marks just gone to work so we stuck a candle in a muffin and sang happy birthday....good idea 'cos it's less candles to blow out.

The tiling is coming along nicely...still dust everywhere though but it's gonna look fab onces its finished.

So much for me working...lmao....on my 2nd day I was shown how to use the shreader....I had to collect buckets from the hot house bring them back to the shed and shread the leaves of the bottom of the stems. I'd done about 15-16 buckets of flowers and was told that I was not quick enough...I was wasting time...I'd just started getting the hang of it too..lol Not too many not too few in the bunch and swipe.. The gloves I had were cloth ....so my hands were getting pricked non stop...especially on the white roses..
I told the dude that I start a course in June and he said ok so you want to finish up today.. so I did ..they can stick their F'ing roses thorns an' all.

We just made a chocolate cake with diet coke...I've been wanting to make one for awhile...not sure of the taste as yet....looks very moist...so shouldn't be too bad..hopefully.

cute stuff

How cute is this...
it's a Black Vinyl Decal (335mm x 450mm. )

you can find it here --> made it

and this is cute too --->monster pillow pal and Nuclear Nolan

Mmmmm furry cake

oooohhh pretty cupcakes and more cupcakes

Yesterday Mark pulled up the carpet in the entrance hall...and bought some black tiles... the same black tiles that are in the kitchen area... after talking with some friends... and thinking it would look rather odd to have black tiles in the entrance...then light brown in the dining then black in the Kitchen....sooooo all the brown tiles are coming up too....The black tiles are harder to keep clean but look great... might have to get myself one of those swishy type brooms me thinks.

May !...isn't May just a 2nd christmas..

well it is in our family....sooo many birthdays ... we've had Marks, the 15th was my brothers, the 18th (tomorrow) is his sisters, 28th is Davids and 30th is Marks other sister, his brother and his brother in laws...and also a few friends in there as well.

We've been playing a wii game that I picked up 2nd hand ...it's called 'brain academy'...gee its fun...gets the ol' brain working..you can either play it in teams... or solo...but everytime I go out just have a bit of a play solo...the kids are following me ...lol

I've had my hair cut finally...well over due..and it needs another dye.. stupid grey hair.. I've gone back to having layers...I haven't had layers for years now I was sort of sick of having to freakin' use the straightener to make it look anywhere near neat. ...now I just have to mousse it and go. !!.... too easy
Still black..I think I'll stay this colour for awhile too.

We've had some exciting family news !...(won't talk about it on here though ...yet !) which has given me a little project to work on.... :)

some layouts...I've just done.. please excuse the dodgy shots...the lo's don't look straight ..oohh and my dodgy handwriting...grrr

this one is for a challenge using the word 'because'

because I love you

meme day

Not alot happening..job searching..exercising.....trying to watch what I eat..as long as I have some fruit around that I like... I think I'm doing ok.
I need to make sure that I eat before going out also...otherwise I'm inclined to buy crap...like KFC, doughnuts....junk like that.

It's been awhile since I've done any memes...so here's some

left overs and redo's

We got through Marks birthday weekend..boy was Saturday a long day cooking all morning and my family came for lunch followed close behind by Marks family who were invited for tea..at one stage I think there 25 of us here...and all of his family came .!!!!.except a few kids...but a good turn out none the less.

We had so much food left over the following day...so that's what we had for lunch and had some leftovers for tea with Karen and Mark.

Still redoing some old layouts that I was never quite happy with...and they are turning out so much better...some I've even looked at and thought why did I even scrap this photo.. I think (as I read in the latest FK) we did want to scrap every freakin' photo that we had.

Have a challenge to do...using the word 'Because' ....I have a few ideas.. also need to make a start on the BB photo challenge....the 'geometric' one will be a stumper also...'jungle'...I think..

Got our orders from 'chefs toolbox' Deb was rapt...she wanted to my my spoons from me there and then..so she can use them in her pot...lol...I'd been waiting for them to use in mine...the timer is easy to use and also doubles as a clock as well as a temp thingy to test meat.
My party's on Friday.... not too sure who's coming ...more than likely it'll be just a handful of us..I invited 13 people ...hmmph !...but that means more paella for us...and shhhh more triple choc fudge muffins !!

just a few cards
