theres nothing better

...than a hot cup of tea is there!!! especially when someone else makes it for you...Welcome to the weekly catch up.
Where to start.. where to start.. where to start...OK i will start with the cheque first today... he is working hard as usual, however in saying that he has tonight off, i think its his first saturdy night off since i've known him... and guess what were doing...you guessed it NOTHING!!!!!! he is watching footy and i am doing this while waiting for my M-I-L to call back from sydney with computer problems.. The poor Lady, has had a web cam for over 6 months now and the blasted thing wont work, she has had the neighbours round to try and do it, the family have tried to do it both to no success, so today she had a computer tech head around for 3 hrs, played around with it charged her $450.00 and the bloody thing still doesn't work...stupid tech heads (i dont mean you uncle kim if you are reading this, your a cool tech head!!!! oh and very handsome as well MWHAHAHA, am i in the good books now!) (Oh and any other tech heads out there that read this....you are hansome tooooo.).M-I-L is re loading everything then is going to call back and we will fix it together...(I have the same camera and loaded mine in 5 min!!!) so together via the skill of the telephone we should be able to get it done...Then she will be able to see her beautiful grand daughter (and her beautiful daughter-in-law) on the screen!!!! (i did mention that for $450.00 she could have flown me to sydney FIRST CLASS for that price mind you and i would have installed it for her) cheeky me!!! but hopefully we will get it done...
Master dozer is at his dads this weekend and is playing footy at samford should be a tough game but they are improving every week if only they would argue with the other team instead of between themselves they might play a little better, but boys will be boys... still designated flag boy at school, although some one beat him to it one afternoon last week ..he was not a happy camper at all.... "they didn't even fold it right" and "they put it in the wrong draw" "don't they have any respect for our country", "i bet you they even let it touch the ground" YES he does take his job very seriously!!!!
Miss Hiccup is NOT being an angel this week!!! teething i think, and i think she is doing it on the cross!! poor bubba, another unhappy camper in the house!! In saying this she is still adorable and a good girl, just wingey and a little clingy, may have something to do with me going back to work a couple of mornings a week as well!!!
Scrap comp is over and i did fairly well, i was so proud of my self, i achieved far more than i ever expected, pushed my creative self to the limit, and even submitted some of my work for publication ( and had it accepted) yay yay yay, i tried many new techniques, went way out of my comfort zone and met some wonderful, wonderful, wonderful ladies so all in all i had a fabulous time...(pat on the back for me)!! By the emails i have been receiving, i think there is some sort of presentation dinner dance gala thingy happening for it, as we were told to buy a new frock, get out hair done, put on a set of heals and dust of the mantel!!! cant wait to see what is going on!! Went into the local scrap shop today and ordered my "mothers day pressie from the kids" 1 brand spanking new self sharpening cutter!!! cant wait to get that gee the kids have great taste...heheheheh....well better go will leave you with photos of Miss Hiccups most recent antics talk soon ........Axxx



Have you ever wondered (warning its a long one!)

what life would be like if you never had to work, if you could walk into a shop and everything was free, if we had rain!!, if babies came with instruction manuals.........naahhh me either.. Hi everyone i know its been a while but now that i am not a stay at home mum any more boo...hoo...hoo... i havent really had time to dedicate myself to you all out there in cyber land... but today, right now i am giving you 43min... were would you like me to start....Work, O.K. then.. here goes do you all have your stop watches going... work is well...umm... work really, nothing changes after you have been away for 6 months.. all my old clients have returned to me which is really nice to see....and... they had to get a computer to replace me as there was no one there that could do the books!!! (who said that hairdressers would never be replaced with computers)!! Im only doing 2 x 5hr days and i think that its enough really...play money!!! I've never worked part time before its kinda nice..
Master Dozer.... he is doing really well, loving school at the moment, with being given the responsibility to look after the new preps at school with a few other grade 7'ers, being designated "flag boy" i never knew how much responsibility came with a job like "flag boy"!!! did you know that there is a specific way to fold it, and words to say as your doing it...and you can't let it touch the ground and and and.... to many rules to write..."its all about respect" say's Dozer!!. Then theres band practice (orchestra) as most of you know he plays the tuba, its almost bigger than him!! then there is rock band practice which he is the lead singer for!!!(i know don't ask me either!!), and Friday school soccer.. THEN theres club rugby league - practice is on Tuesday and Thursday nights and game day is Sunday... and there goes my life.. They have just had all there grading games and don't ask me how but they have put the boys in first division!!! Yes first division i hear you say!!! And they only won 1 game out of 5 and there is no way they can defeat the other teams they have put in the same grade... but oh well... a challenge is always good! (poor little blighters!!)
Miss Hiccup is doing very very well she is growing every day, we bought her a walker the other day (because in reality nothing in shops is free!) and she can manage to go backwards but not forwards, and for all of you who said "a walker what about your stairs" well don't worry your little selves it has these brake things that make it lock up when it senses uneven ground...clever huh!! ( just a time check i have 12 min left!!) She is very giggly now and it is so cute Mum heard her belly laugh for the first time today...as she has her on Fridays while i am doing my big"5hrs work" she is sssoooooo cute, and such a good bub.. she has about 6 teeth coming through at once at the moment, poor bugger!
She started solids 2 weeks ago too.. as she is not drinking enough milk (i think it hurts her teeth when they rub on the teat) so we put her on rice cereal, she isn't tooo bad with it, but likes it much better when i add a little mushed pears to it!! (and she is pretty fond of mushy milk arrowroot bikkies too).. but who isn't.
The cheque is still working hard to provide us with the life we have become accustomed too...bread and water are just a bonus... no kidding we get bread and green cordial!!!! He is "at the pub" tonight to watch the Australia v's Kiwi's game (bloody kiwi's) (no offence Uncle Ross)...sorry didn't think you were listening...so who knows what time or condition he will come home in....it will be a suprise!!... well he has to walk home so i am guessing he wont be that bad.. and he has to work tomorrow...yay more cordial!!
now lets talk about my scrap comp... it is nearly at an end i have completed all of my challenges now and there is no more to go. you can go to
www.handmadebyanissa.blogspot.com to see them all... so i will have a little bit more time to spend with you all now... and get some more work done for Think PinQ www.thinkpinq.com.au as i have been getting a little slack lately!!! Sorry PinQ's>> well i better go and i will leave you with a few recent photos of my squids...talk soon....Ax (only 1 min to go) i will give an extra 1 minute next time... however if i keep typing it will be up...Dum de dum de dum da da loo de da da dum (mwhahahaha)Bye x x x x x

AWE aint she cute!


"its rice cereal!!!! not what you think

a school pack horse!!!

Dress Ups.

were back

from Buderim, and we had a lovely time with the pinq's. Its nice to spend time with family over a few public holidays.. The Dozer stayed up there for a couple more days (school holidays). and will be back on thursday so while he is away i am going to rip through his room like a tornedo and throw...yes throw almost everything out!!! I cant stand it, it looks like a garage!!

Miss Hiccup is as beautiful as ever, her angel wing i am sure will sprout any day now, she is now sleeping through from 9.00pm till 6.30am with a couple of 1hr naps during the day.... what an angel!! She is still regularly reciting the poosong which is still hysterical to listen to...i must try and record it, and play it at her 21st...or maybe CD's won't be around then, I'll give it to her and she would say "what is that" (like Dozer did when i first brought out a record!!! and i dont think he has even seen a tape)!! Oh how thing change so fast...

Reality scrap is still going strong had to do two challenges this week they are posted on my other blog
www.handmadebyanissa.blogspot.com if you would like to have a sticky beak, this is the second last week, i don't know what i will do with my self when it is finished....maybe i should finish my wedding and honeymoon albums!!!

Well i have to go back to work this week....so sad....Mum is going to have Miss Hiccup while i am there, it is only 2 x 5hr days but it is still sad...here is a picture of how i feel about going back to work, i think it says it all... talk to you soon,............Ax
