Hello

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007, 6:36 am


Hello Everyone. It seems ages since i have been on here. Kieran now goes to raising fives 4 times a week and I have just sent off my school request for which infant school i want him to go to next september. I can't believe i have to do this already  he seems just to little to go to school. I never went through this when it was Beths turn but i think that has something to do with the fact that she turned 5 the January after she started Kieran will not be 5 until he has had his first year there. Also Beth was more than ready for school she was getting bored at nursery and needed more to do lol . I have an open evening to take him to next thursday I know all the teachers and were things are as it is the same school Beth went to:)

Bethany has taken up Judo so now she does Judo,Cello,Ochestra,Dance and swimming lessons plus her homework. I was worried that she was taking to much on but she is loving it and gets everything done and still has energy left. Unlike me who by 6pm is now ready for bed lol

Well i had better go and get Kieran ready for playgroup. Hope everyone is having a good day and the rain isn't bothering anyone lol

Back 2 School

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007, 5:18 am

    Today is Bethany's first day back at school. She was nervous,scared but also extremly excited. She was up at 6am this morning getting all her stuff together, She had checked her PE kit,School bag and made sure she had her lunch box(this was the part she was most excited about as she has a new Tardis lunch box and cyberman water bottle lol) She had breakfast waved bye to her dad and got dressed,teeeth done and hair done. I checked the time and it was only just 8am. I stood there in a state of shock as everything went so smoothly usually the morning starts at 7 were i can usually be found in Beths room trying to get her out of bed.  Curtains open,duvet off and being threatened to be taken to school in her PJs usually does the trick lol followed by a mumble goodbye to her dad she the proceeds to take half an hour to eat breakfast gets dressed slowly and needs reminding 3 or 4 times to brush her teeth and do her hair. So i made the most of this morning as i know it will probably be another year before it happens like this again. Although this time next year Kieran will be getting ready for his first day at school so maybe it will never go this smoothly again ha ha Bye for now xxxx

finally getting married

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007, 6:20 am

 


Well I have finally done it and booked my wedding day Yipee. We are getting married on 29th may 2009 at 2pm. Gosh that seems such a long time away lol. We had originally wanted to get married on 26th July 2008 but my brother went and booked that date for his wedding which was freaky as we had not even told each other our plans. My brother did sugeest a joint wedding but his fiancee is a control freak and i would just end up losing my temper and not getting the wedding i want so we decided to have an extra year to save more money ha ha. Anyway we have paid a deposit on the venue which is non refundable and we have also booked the registrar so this is it after 11 years together and 2 children we are finally going to tie the knot.

Well it has been ages since i last wrote something here i just don't know where the time has gone this month. Today is the last day of school before the summer holidays so Bethany was really excited about going lol On wednesday we went to Driffield show. This is a big agricultural show that comes to driffield once a year. Bethany had some entries in the handicraft section she made a shoe box model of her ideal bedroom she won 3rd prize, a miniture garden again she won 3rd prize,an observational drawing of her school bag she got a highly commended certificate,she made shortbread,flapjack and finally she put in some handwriting so she has been extremely busy getting ready for the show and she was really pleased that she won with some of her items especially as there were loads of entries and everybody had worked really hard and produced some fantastic results.

We had a brilliant day the weather held up really well and we finally got to use the suncream i brought for the summer lol. The kids loved looking around at the animals and watching the horses we were all tired when we got home as it had been a really long day. We got there at 8.40am so we could put Beths entries into the tent and we left at 5.15pm as we couldn't pick up the entries till 5pm.

On Monday Beth had her sports day she was supposed to have it the friday before but unfortunatly it rained all afternoon  Monday was a lovely day again the rain held off it has been nice to see that the sun still does exsist lol

Tonight we are going to have a look round Tickton grange to see if we would like to get married there. We have had a bit of  going on with our wedding but have finally settled on 20th june 2009. It seem such a long time away lol. We had decided to get married originally on the 21st july 2008 but my brother went and booked his wedding on July 26th 2008 so it just seemed to much. they have asked me and beth to be bridesmaids and i have to buy my own dress and everything so i just thought it was getting way to expensive and we are only living on one wage lol so Paul and I decided to put it back a year so i will finally be married 4 days before i turn 30 lol. So now i am looking into venues,prices,ect which i love doing.

Well i seem to have gone on forever and i have probably bored you all to sleep

Have a great weekend xxxx

Well done Bethany

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007, 4:44 am

Bethany



I just wanted to write a quick blog to say well done to my darling daughter Bethany

Last night was her schools summer concert and she played her Cello in front of 200+ parents and teachers. She played as part of an orchestra and the played as part of a trio with her best friend Georgina and another girl from the orchestra. This was the first time she has played in front of so many people and she coped fantastically. Especially when the cd player with the piano music on wouldn't work. All three of them were sat on the stage with their cellos ready to play and no music came on they were sat for 5 mins before the head teacher decided to pull them off and let the other acts go  on first whilst they sorted out the fault. After the next 3 acts had finished they wer sent back out again. They got a hugh cheer and clap. They got sorted and again waited for the music. another 5 mins and still no music so they were pulled off again after a few more acts they were brought back on again this time the had the biggest cheer and claps from the audience. they sat and got prepared again and finally the music work. it was brilliant they all played together in time and the problem hadn't fazed any of them they really did their best. i was so proud.
