Ready, steady, PANIC!!

It is time to take Jade home today :(  (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  booked the tickets, got everything ready and off they went. However, they just set off when I get a phone call saying  (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  had forgotten the rail card, which makes the tickets  (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  bought void... men and useless are words that do go very well together lol.

After I panicked trying to get someone to take me to Doncaster with the rail card so  (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  could get the trains  (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  booked. Unfortunately, no one was available to take me and so he had to try and change the tickets and get a later train so I could get their on the next train and give him the rail card.

It was OK, in the end he managed to get Jade home, and I got a train ride to Doncaster and back for no reason. But, I have now caught a chill, after being caught in a down pour of rain without a coat or brolly :(

Not going to stay here long as I want to get curled up in bed with a hot chocolate, but I wanted to give you last nights update on 'The Wedding'. Here it is.

I had to do a little frogging as I wanted to change the colour of the dress, you will see it better in the next update as I want to get a large chunk of the left hand side done today. 

Oh, yeah, (this section has been removed as it mentions my OH)  got me some more just because flowers again today how lovely are these??

He is scoring some major brownie points with all these flowers bless him.

I think he will forget our wedding anniversary and will have enough points to cover it lol what do you think?

OK all off to bed for poor little me for a little R&R.

Speak soon xx

Colouring in is not just for kids

Are you jealous?? I would be lol.

Today has been an exhausting day of tidying. I decided to tackle the girls bedroom, including the toy box. Now I know normal toy boxes are only big enough to hold a few toys, however our toy box was made by my hubby and is bigger than my bath and holds loads of stuff, they also have a second box that is a normal sizes box. The girls boxes were over flowing and I decided to streamline them. I got the girls to help me but boy I wish I had done it myself lol. Everything I got out seemed like a new toy to them as they hadn't seen it in so long, or if one wanted to get rid of it the others didn't and vice versa.

In the end we managed to donate 3 black bags of toys and a 2 foot pile of books to a local charity. They now have plenty of room to put their toys away and they get to play with all the toys the have so everyone wins. We now only have to go through the cuddly toys to see which ones can be donated now, really not looking forward to that as they do actually play and cuddle them all. I will be happy if just 5 go.

I have managed to do some cross stitch today, here it is, 

As you can see I have basically coloured in the hair. It seemed really easy and quite fun to do actually. The hair isn't the only thing I have been colouring in though, because the chart is so big I have been colouring in the chart as I complete stitches so I can keep track of where I am. The exciting bit is... almost one full page of chart is now coloured in woo hoo. See...

I have worked out that there is now around 3200 stitches done yay me!

I have also worked out which direction I will be going when I have completed the page... I will be going across. I have decided to do it this way because as I have been 'colouring in' the face area I found I don't like it so I am going to complete the face and see what it looks like to see if I want to carry on with it or redo the chart and start again. If I decide to start again I will not be happy with all the frogging I will have to do, but as I have been doing this stitch I keep thinking I should have done this or that to make it look better etc. If when the whole face is done, I actually like it I will leave it as is though. Stay tuned to find out what I do lol.
