Piddawinkle's Private Musings

Hello everyone sorry havent been on but have been busy doing nothing!!!

Struggled with the site for a couple of days as it went through its snail growth, has now metamorphosised into a craftyfly !!!! Oops had a glass of wine, started off at work this morning nearly brain dead and it looks like its getting worse.

I now work for a SUPABANK, yee hah, dont know if job will be affected but will just carry on the daily slog and see what materialises, maybe a better uniform, always preferred Halifax's to LTSB.
I am at work tomorrow which is a real bummer, but have got Tuesday off, so if I do all the housework Sunday and Monday, Tuesday I could just stay at home and craft to my hearts content, bliss

Have made some ATC's this week and put on gallery, was getting bored of making all the birthday cards and things i needed to do, should have paid more attention to my To Do list, best friends birthday...

I am a 45 year old mother of two and wife of one, I am slowly getting used to the fact that I am ageing fast and really need to get fit if I want to continue enjoying life, Im carrying too much weight at the moment and Im beginning to find it hampering, trouble is I start off everyday gonna be good and by lunchtime it all flies out the window, oh well small steps, might get me there eventually.

I have always been wary of my weight, always thought I was fat, now if I look back at photos I realise I was fine and should have just got on with enjoying life and not dieting, as we all know what that does to the old metabolic system, really put my weight on when I gave up smoking in 2001, took up alcohol and that of course led to lack of will power.

Anyway my two children are both boys, Taylor who is 15 next month, and knows more on every subject under the sun than me and Evan who is 10, and...

Hey everyone, well i have been busy today making some atc's with my first attempts at fantasy film and fibre, Friday I set the ironing board up next to the table and played away, made an awful mess and learnt what not to do etc, but had a few pieces thta i decided to use, they are on the gallery if you want to see them. Also made a birthday card for my friend, tried to do one of the new standing up ones, my attempt in paper worked so did it for real, only trouble was once i'd added all the weight of the paper etc it wouldnt do anything except lie flat, , considered sending instructions with it and some cocktail sticks to hold it up but decided not to bother and just cut the front bit away and mounted it onto anotoher card, hehehe.

Watched BB on Friday, didnt really care who won just used it as an excuse to slob in front of telly whilst drinking wine and eating unhealthy food, regretted...

I have decided to give it another go, just posting when i have time and of course i have something interesting to say , plus also my laptop is now (crossfingers) mended and picking up the internet again, makes it so much easier to do this blog, so will keep going.

Today is my 20th Wedding Anniversary and my husband Ian and I took the day off and went into town for a mooch and lunch out, restaurant we were going to was shut for refurbishments until tomorrow so quick decision as to where else to go, ended up at MexaMexa, a lovely little mexican (you hadnt guessed had you) and had yummy garlic ciabbata, then hubby had chargrilled chicken with potatoe wedges and I had burrito with chilli con carne inside, it was yummy.

Hubbie was spending money and i was trying to be good as laptop was my anniversary present, did have a mooch in paperchase and got some stickers and shaped paperclips, hearts & flowers, they were only a £1 each which i though was a bargain. Ive got the next two days ...

Hi everyone one, just a quick question, do any of my friends read this and if so is it worth doing it or should we just keep in touch like before in Scrapbook and PM's.

I only ask because i think it may be difficult to keep it up and also nobody may care what I am doing!!

Hope that makes sense!!!
