The Colours in my life..................

Ok I forgot the Sunday blog last week, so I thought I would give it a bash now!!

This Sundays blog prompt is encouraging you to grab your camera again.. And this time capture some of the patterns and textures of your home... What colours do you surround yourself in your home?

Do you find your tastes in scrapping paper relates to tastes you have in your interior fashions?
I do.. I am quite taken by funky fabric prints, logos, textures and colours.
I like a "hint" of colour and then go mad with accessories!I think you can have features in your house that have far more of an impact that a whole room of random colour.
Show me yours and ill show you mine!

So here you go:-

Thanks SJ for another brill prompt xx

Where has the time gone................?

Ok so it feels like I haven't blogged in months but actually just realised I only blogged last week LOL, well so much for blogging every day, last week just seemed as manic as you like really!!

Well the overwhelming pain finally subsided by Thursday, I went to see a Locum Dr and apparently she reckons that it was a pulled muscle, I can 100% tell you now that WAS NOT a pulled muscle, I have broken bones, trapped nerves and pulled muscles in my 31 yrs existence and I can firmly and honestly say that woman had no flipping idea, dappy cow.

As for my foot, I have been put on a one final dose of Antibiotics, she said that should it stay the same then she will put me in for having some sort of toe op LOL sounds lovely doesn't !!

I managed to get a Monday off from work yesterday woohoo, wonders never cease to amaze me LOL, and yesterday I went to pick my new car up, its still a Seat Leon but just an 06 and its in BLACK wohoo im well pleased, obviously Roger wasnt as ecstatic when I said I wanted a black car as its him that has to keep it clean!! but either way its lovely, its gonna take me a little while to get used to it but it lurverly!!

Im such a dappy cow, I got all sad leaving my old car there, she has done me well bless. So driving home yesterday, it felt like I was driving across the world I drove in every weather you could imagine, I left home sunny, then rain, then sleet, then hailstones, then snow, back to rain, the sun, the pulling up outside the house and low n behold snow. Every season in one day, how mad was that!!

I feel a LO coming on with my cars, I do get so attached to my babies, especially if they have done be well, unlike a few pigs I have driven LOL

So thats all my news, I forgot to take photos of my mother day gift that I gave to my mum, it was a little mini album and I must admit I was very proud of it, and even brought a tear to mums face!!

Take care

Unearthly Pain

Ok so I feel like im falling apart at the seams!!

Firstly, I have an in-growing toe nail thanks to dropping something bloody heavy on it and breaking it, so thats ongoing.

Secondly, I have a cold (see previous post) sneaky bugger

Thirdly, due to the said cold I had a sneezing fit yesterday at work, and then experienced a pain I have never had before!! as a female I get a pain around this area every now and then on my left and its one of those pains I know and can explain, but yesterday it was on my right, so automatically thought holy crap appendix!! so in true Claire style I left it for a few hours thinking whatever it was would go away cos im clever like that!!

So around 8.30 ish and a few pain killers later, and hours of trying to get comfy, I gave in and called NHS Direct, to cut a very long and tiring conversation short, I suffer from PCOS, which means I have a large amount of Cysts around my ovaries and a couple decided that they wanted to bite the dust and ruptured!! NHS Direct said that they could get me to come up to the hospital but alls they can do is give me a pain killer and make me comfy, so he suggested that while the pain was dull I could stay at home, unless it became too bad to come up immediately.

And yes it bloody hurt, and my tummy is still sore and still very tender, needless to say I didn't go to work today, I was hoping to get to see my GP but because I didn't get to sleep till 3am I missed the 8am calling slot for an appointment.

Im due to see her next Tuesday regarding my foot so I shall have a chat with her then.

So note to any PCOS sufferers have that pain, dont worry LOL its only a cyst throwing a paddy.

Cxx

Its finally Caught me..........

So today I wake up, stretch, open my eyes, yawn and swallow and at that point let out an almight ouch, yep I wake on this fine Sunday morning sore throat and streaming nose!! I have managed to run from it for months and in the middle of the night it snuck up on me, I was so defenceless !!!

So all day I have been walking around with tissues galore and soothers, oh and the sneezing whats that all about!! ?? so as write this I will probably have sneezed all over you so sorry if you catch it LOL.

Last night we had a party to go to, it was my cousins 40th, it was an ok affair, my cousin is a lovely fun girl, but does sometimes forget her roots so to speak, and I find that a little hard to swallow (even more so today LOL) I am a firm believer that you are who you are and people should like, love or loath you for that and that only, but the thing with my cousin is now and then she remembers her roots and we have such a blast, and always end up going home with a change of opinion and say she so funny, and then other times she is this totally different person, someone I just cant relate to and I find it so hard to try and keep up.

But even still she had this party, and it was a funny night, the DJ was this caberat type, he DJ'd for a while, then done several dress changes, and ranged from Bee Gees to Elvis and a few in between, and trust me he was a funny looking thing, but certainly was a crowd pleaser! the food was amazing, and the company was just as good, and found myself having a laugh.

My mum got a little upset last night, the guy was doing an Elvis song, and a bad attempt at that, but it wasnt that that upset her, I think it was more the song, and the fact that she couldnt have her dance with dad, its amazing you forget how much it still effects her, I mean its totally understandable, after 45yrs of being with someone 24/7 and then having them taken from you, I can imagine how hard it is, what I mean is when you see or speak to her she is so strong, and always tries to have a smile on her face, and its at times like last night that you realise how fragile she really is.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the party, and some of my crazy family LOL

So March

Ok so March has stormed in, I cant believe its here already, and I have found that some things in my life need a little shake up, well not some things, mainly work, I have been fed up since my boss was made redundant, not because that happened more to the fact of how after 24yrs she was treated appalling!! and ever since then we have been put under someone else and he is a nightmare and I really mean that!!

I'm lucky if he graces me with 2 words in a day, unless he needs a favour then its hows you, hows your weekend, whats your partners name bla bla bla and its like oh please spare me the in betweens!! he never tells me where he is going, and more annoyingly he will walk off without putting his phone on voicemail!! (real pet peeve). And to top it off I'm the only one out of us 3 girls that work 5 days a week, the other 2 are part times due to having children.

So the other day I decided to put in for some holiday, which meant me not being in on a Monday (the only day I'm on my own) and was met with, "oh but there wont be anyone to cover you" "not sure I'm happy about that" "let me think and I will consider it" CONSIDER you cheeky git!!

I work 5 days a week, Monday to Friday I am entitled to take any one of those days off!! its never been a problem before and it shouldn't be one now. Consider my good god.

Trust me I am not that important that if I'm not there for one day my work is going to fold into a heap LOL and nothing ever comes in on an individual day that is ever that urgent its needs dealing with there and then.

So in my wisdom I thought to myself, hey I need a change, OK Roger and I are planning to start trying for a family this year, but 90% of companies nowadays only provide SMP so there is no major issues there really, and even still the chances of me falling this year is slim so I suppose there isn't much to worry about!

So I suppose its a watch this space moment, and besides I need a payrise to keep my scrapping addiction up LOL
