A new chapter

Have started moving into my new scrap/craft/study room.....half of the furniture is now painted - has really helped that we had some nice weather this weekend to dry the paint.
Just need to decide now on what colour to paint the walls - was going to do a wall of paper but I am always changing my mind on wall colours so it is easier if I just paint!!! What do you all think to these colours....


Wanted an antiquey greyish bluey kind of colour. One wall in the darker and the rest in the light or all 4 in the lighter shade???? mmmmm decisions decisions

Made my old scrap room ~ the small room ~ into the spare room. Did my usual trick of ripping the carpet up. I HATE CARPETS !!!!!! When you actually take them up you realise just how much dust and dirt they hold - no matter how fandabidozi your hoover is and how many times an hour you hoover!!!! My house now officially has no carpets.....upstairs is now just white painted floorboards and big hesian rugs. If this doesn't suit we will put laminate down....I just wanted to get rid of the blasted carpets :o)

Will post pics when I am done.

Will find out tonight if I am through to the next round of badgirls top designer. For this round I entered this....

Grandad took us out for a curry tonight - a ghurka curry.....delicious. The rest of the evening is now to be spent eating a big bowl of trifle (yumm), ironing clothes, having a relaxing shower and getting my stuff together so that I am not rushing around in the morning.....first day of school. Have been a bit (make that muchio) stressed about it today....worrying still....just need to get the first few days over with and I will be alright

~ the beginning of my new chapter.

Kewpie !!

Been hunting vintage Kewpie stuff out.....bought a 60's vinyl one, now want a compsition one but they are quite a few pennies.....but I did get this the other day.



How cute !!!! The border is all glittery....words across the bottom are 'Roses roses all the way'.

Kev thinks they are weird creepy things but I like them....mmmmmm I like Kev too.....there is a link there somewhere (teehee).

bye x

Another week closer.....

.....to quite a few things.
1) Disney - only another 9 1/2 weeks to wait !!!! Sam & I are very excited !!!!
2) School - well actually this one crept up on me. The school are being a bit slow at sending paperwork out and I received a letter last week to tell me that we officially start on 29th Sept but we will be doing one of the modules w/c 22nd.....yeah, next week !!!
Bit nervous really.....wondering/hoping I am doing the right thing. One of the full time jobs has been posted at work.....for quite a few pennies.....I was asked to apply but would mean choosing not to go to uni. But like my Kevvy said - if I don't do it I will always wonder 'what if' - can always rely on a chat with Kevvy and a phone call with ma sista to make me see sense!!!!!! I know what I should be doing but sometimes I get a bit doubtful about myself and just need a bit of reassurance - I haven't always made the best decisions in my life and s'pose without those decisions life may have been simpler and less painful but hey I wouldn't be where I am now.....here and now, on a new adventure, surrounded by lovely people.
3) I made it through the first week of Bad Girls Top Designer with this...........



















4) Nearly finished decorating our bedroom.........just 2 more rooms to go - this is highly amusing in my house if you knew JUST how much Kev hates painting!!!!
5) Diet......doing the no carb at night thing this week again like my dad told me - yeah he is a health guru (tee hee).....roasted veg & fish, oh and 3 freshly baked Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookies. What, they contain carbs ?? never !!! You are joshing me !!!

Off to kiss my husband.....just leave you with this.....made me laff !! Byeeeeeee x

Hi...

We are off to Disneyland wooohooo....Paris not Florida but who cares !!!!! Can't wait. Kev will have to go without sleep for a day so we can catch the ferry nice and early but thats his fault for working late shifts....who needs sleep anyway when you have Disney magic ???? Is it time yet ???? are we there yet ????

Not made much....too busy decorating. Realised though that one shouldn't really paint too late and then sleep in the room one has painted......makes one feel a bit odd!!!!!

We think we are taking the house off the market and going to spend the money on an extension and new kitchen. The house we want to buy needs a complete central heating system fitting, complete rewire, shower fitting, and the usual decorating and 'stuff' and might possibly be a bit much whilst studying and holding down a full time job.......we do love the other house though....... :o(

Where was I........right, here is somink I did t'other day.

If you haven't signed up for Wilnas class, do so, it sounds fun!!! (eyes to the right please) :o)

Oh and by the way, re last post, all friends replied *phew*

How to set yourself up......

.....for schoolday rejection all over again!!!!!!
My cousin asked me if I was on facebook so that I can see pics of her new boyfriend.....so I went on it.....friends from work 'added me' as a friend and in 3 days I had 5 friends, not bad really. But then I found a few friends from school so I said 'Hi'......problem is that now wondering if any of them will say 'Hi' back. What if they don't?? I will be in the schoolyard land of rejection again.
Why do we set ourselves up for this kind of thing???? LOL. Thought it was a good idea at the time....not so sure now.....will update how many of the 4 I found answer back :o) Keep ya eyes peeled.

UPDATE: 1 has replied!!!!!!! woo-hoo !!!!
