I'm sorry your blog appears to have been delayed

We'd like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused...

I don't know why I haven't. Well I do. It's been busy and I've also had the winter throat cold bug which seems to have been doing the rounds. 

So last Monday. We went to see Gravity. Pretty awesome I must say, espesh in 3D. It actually made me move in my seat (remember when 3D first came out and it'd make you jump? It's like that).

Tuesday.. M's mums birthday so round there for presents, takeaway and a movie 'now you see me' also very good and well worth a watch!

Wednesday was the knit stitch munch nuch at my mums... But a nightmare day as I forgot my phone... So had no way of making final arrangements.

Thursday; normally my slimming world day, but Thursday was the London album launch for the suburban dirts. You should go check them out. iTunes/amazon... Just do it. 

Friday: a day off! And had planned to go Xmas dec shopping with M and meet a friend. But I felt so poorly with this bug that I just couldn't. It was even a struggle to bathe! So my darling mother came over and took me out for hot Choc... And to get vitamins! 

Saturday and Sunday I had to work.. Which wasn't too bad but I didn't have access to all the computer system as I had hoped! But I got a fair bit done... 

And now today I've done some more crafting and creatin... Also did baking yesterday; snicker doodles and scones. Very yummy. My scones could be lighter though. 

I made up a Christmas present! 

I've quickly written up this post and will publish so that it looks like I'm still here. I'll update it with pictures and videos wen I'm at computer!

Having a go at something.... http://www.qwiki.com/v/GFfyAbA4

What with today

Well... As last nights post demonstrated... Lack of sleep... Makes me very tired. But I did come up with a couple of ideas.... I did also try some origami flowers but being very tired they didn't come out too well. I shared some exploits with the relatives... And I think I got a commission... So Hobbycraft again tomorrow... This time for something a little doggy. 

It was cold and dreary today. We went to M's parents for dinner and I took the origami.. H and I sat and got creative! 

Once we had dinner had played a game of cluedo it was time to come home (cluedo I know rock n roll). On way I had a surge of creative ideas... Making use of embroidery stitches on machine :-)! They came out well! 

Here's the other project I did... A little something in preparation for our trip to Somerset.

Will post some more pictures tomorrow. For now. I'm tired and willing the pain to not reappear! 

Lack of sleep makes me...

Seemingly want to clean, and be domesticated, the only issue is... It is at time of writing... 4:33am.

The reason why I can't sleep is that I seem to have had a really bad abdominal pain... Which has made me feel very uncomfortable and a little scared. But I know it's most likely indigestion or something like that. I sat on our bathroom floor for about 30mins, rocking back and forth before deciding I may as well come and do something creative... Or useful with my time. Despite being in pain, I cleaned my cooker hob... Who knew boiled over water could be so darn stubborn to get off? The upside is it took my mind of the pain slightly.  I also took the opportunity to be nosy, to see who else is up and about on the block. There were a couple of places with lights on.  Saw someone just come in from a night out... Or so it appears... I did briefly wonder whether they could see me scrubbing the hob!

Our origami paper arrived today... So I may sit and do some folding... Thinking up ideas to make use of the fat quarters I have... Will post the ideas as they come into development!

Crafty time!

I started my Christmas decs with a trip to Hobbycraft! Check them out!

Getting ready for Christmas

Thursday night... Slimming world night. Weigh in night! 

Got a lovely text from my consultant this afternoon, letting me know that I had been nominated for miss slinky 2013. It was a lovely lovely surprise! 

I didn't win. But I'm perfectly happy. All the ladies nominated had wonderful stories and journeys to share. But it has made me more determined.... Between now and Christmas I am going to change! Tomorrow I shall read through my Slimming World book, and write my food down, to keep me extra motivated I will write it on here too... Or I shall endeavour to anyhow! I may even make another page to my blog, specifically aimed at Slimming World. Please let me know what you think of this idea! Until tomorrow! Xxx
