Remember me and other updates...
My 'remember me' for blogger is not quite working the way it should and so I annoyingly have to log in each time. Anyway, I also spent a while this morning installing updates and so now everything looks a little funny. I don't respond well to change, especially when it comes to my 'puter. I have a new version of internet explorer now which is seemingly more user friendly....but not if you were happy with the way things were. I'll get used to it, but need to vent a little in the meantime.
Gosh but it was awful wild here this morning...weather was brutal and I'd say the night was similarly bad. It's not too bad now actually. It was sooo dark this morning when we were getting up....roll on the longest night (so we can get long days back again!). We had to bring the little princess in for a snooze at 5am and by 7 we were all so toasty it was hard to get up. Ah well, tomorrow is Saturday, we'll get a bit of a lie-in.
Dunno what I'll get up to this weekend. UKS is having a cyber crop, for which I registered yesterday, but don't have the kits and don't have the photos etc printed out....so I'll take a peek and see what I can do....means lugging home a load of stash for the weekend (as usual)....we are going home for the weekend. The city really is only a temporary abode!
Did our sums last night and found that although I thought my stash diet for November has worked particularly well and my credit card is actually 350 quid in credit (confusingly shown as a minus figure on Banking on Line)....tax is due on the car next week...400 quid....ah well, there go my plans of spending my 'credit' on pressies and rolling into the new year laughing aloud akin to Eddie Hobbs.
Didn't lift a finger to scrap all last night which I'm a little disappointed at....evening started with a silly idea to make a chicken casserole (this actually started on monday when I bought all the bits and actually had all the veg cut up and ready to go). Jeepers, casseroles take ages...and we ended up not eating till nearly 8! (normally 7) Bath and bed for baby and by that stage it was 9 and I sat down in front of the fire watching some silly Chris Rock movie. I like him as a comedian, but this was pretty cringeful stuff. Don't remember falling asleep in bed and wouldn't have woken unless the window physically blew in on top of me. I am a deep sleeper for sure!
I'm gonna finish work at 4 today, have almost packed the bags at home so there shouldn't be the usual bad humour on a Friday evening and then off we go.....

Reindeers.....
Saw this quiz on Paula's blog, something a little bit fun to get in the season and all that....In case you were ever wondering - What Kind of Reindeer are you?
I'm not going to go on about Christmas just yet, although preparations are afoot in our house so to speak. I'm trying to do very crafty things this year, save a few bob and also make some nice gifts. I got some groovy 12x12 and 8x8 frames from Eva so the intention is to make some LOs and frame them as gifts. I've one completed this week of my cutie cousin. Her mum (my aunt) is quite arty and always a tricky one to buy a pressie for. It's a case of how do you buy a present for someone who has everything....well at least everything cool and alternative - she has her own craft gallery and sells bog oak sculptures but I'm very happy with how the LO came out. Used some Cherry Art Ella flowers, Chipboard letters and 3 B&W pics.....same type of idea as one of the classes we did in the first Little Cottage Cyber Crops but I can't really post it up here as it's a pressie...sorry!
What other crafty ideas plans have I....
I'm gonna make a waterfall book for my granny ala the classes we did in the Bumbleberry Cafe. We spent four fun wednesday nights with Beckie doing mini Christmas gift ideas which are all fabby. I'm giving my explosion box to my mother....I need to get some daylight photos of that and will post, pwomise...
I'm also working on a mini book for one of my sisters and another mobile type project for another sister....needless to say, the photoprinter is in overdrive at the moment.
One last project is for me! I'm going to start a Christmas Journal next Friday and keep it till the 6th of January....well that's the plan anyway.
| You Are Blitzen |
 Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa. Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying! Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini. |

Altered ATC Holder
As mentioned previously, I'm new to this blogger gig, but am trying out linking photos from my Picassa account. If this works, there should be a pic of an ATC holder I created over on the left. Fingers crossed! 
Back again
Hmmn, expect some changes to this blog as we go along, as I'm feeling my way. Templates will come and go. I haven't worked out why my last post is in a not so nice blue colour, and who knows, maybe this post will also be blue. So I'm gonna try to keep this updated and also get some other bits and pieces linked, etc but may need to go find help.
....stick with it...it'll be worth it in the end (I say to myself)
