too good to be true

Hi again all! Well bad news for blogging from me at the moment, the day after our internet came back on, my keyboard on my laptop decided it couldn't go on another day! So once again i'm on a borrowed laptop, waiting to upload my swap photo's!!

back at last!

Hello everyone!
Phew, it's been a hectic couple of weeks, with no internet! It finally came back to life today :) and i have so many blogs and emails and things to catch up on! At the moment i am on day 5 of a 9 day straight at work, so am getting home feeling very sleepy! So it might take me a few days to get back on track with you all, but it will be done!! I have a bunch of swap pictures to post up for you all ^_^ which I'll get onto asap. In other news......this morning i met this man!

Yep, it's peirs morgan! Whilst waiting outside a pub at 9.30 this morning (ready to have breakfast with everybody from work) Peirs just came over and asked for directions to the nearest tesco! Which just happens to be right next door to dwell I might add. I was fairly star struck, but pretended not to recognise him, so as not to give off the "crazy, annoying fan" vibe :P but it was still very cool! And i've just been itching to brag about it all day! hehehe!!

silly virgin

Hello all! sorry i haven't been around alot lately, my internet has been down since the storms on saturday, and rather annoyingly virgin have an automated message to tell me it's broken, rather then telling when it will be fixed! At the moment i'm at my partner's parents house, which is quite litterally a quater of a mile up the road from us, yet their virgin internet is fine! Anyway, i hope you are all ok and that you've mostly recieved your swap goodies :) I will have a look at posts and pictures once my net is back up, as this computer's keyboard doesn't work properly!!! in other news, I have been working with dwell since monday and i love it :) am very pleased to have left pets at home!! Take care all :) xxx

gaahh!!

Today comes armed with a mini rant! The sun is out and it is so lovely and warm outside! Unfortunately, due to lack of funds, our garden is on hold at the minute, so isn't very nice to sit outside in at the minute, but a couple of ice lollies on the grass is always nice ;) unfortunately, it is now time for the BIGGEST annoyance of the year!

BUGS AND FLIES!! We have a fly screen on our back door, but it doesn't reach the ground (i know, pointless right?) and then because of the heat, I have all of our windows open. My cats wont go outside now, because they're having much too much fun chasing flies around the house. I think I now have more wildlife in here than I do in my garden!

the little mermaid

Yesterday morning I became the very lucky owner of a little treasure chest :) the wonderful Lucy from crafting in the beach hut was one of my swp partners from the fairytale swap (I forgot to count myself in with everybody else who joined in!) I chose to recieve the little mermaid, and this is what i got :)

This was the pretty selection when i opened up the lid of my parcel

I got so many goodies, including a disney cd, picture frame, little book, small treasure chest, lots of little shells and stones, little charms and coins, a lovely for to brush my hair! the prettiest tin ever, a hand made phone case, a pack of otsits, some fabric, a little necklace and bracelet, a gorgeous apple mug, some disney stickers, a little glass fish and a hand made card! wow!

I love this little tin that some of my bits came in :) it is the cutest little thing ever. Thanks Lucy!
I've popped these photos up on the flickr group, don't forget to put yours up too :)

mixed up

Hello all of my lovely ladies. Well this weekend has been a pretty awsome one, on saturday me and matt went to a pool party in leicster which was brilliant, and then followed it up at a bbq party on sunday. Lots of drinking and messing around, which i've missed so much!
Unfortunately, today gave us abit of a blow, as my partner's boss (who is a total JERK!) has decided to foot us with a bill for a mistake on a job from a few months ago. The bill is £290, nearly £100 more than matt earns in a week. His boss, i may add, earns around £1400 per week minimum. He is also the type of man that will let matt work for a week and then not pay him, to try and "get the money back." For the past 6 months or so matt has been getting into a horrible state of stress from constantly getting rubbish from work. Unfortunately, he has been in the plumbing industry for 5 years now, has no experience in any other kind of job, and with the lack of income and extremely high outgoings this month, it is certainly getting on top of both of us!

Swap madness!!

Wow! Today has been my first day of no responsibility :) with the exception of a few days of work, the next two weeks have been laid out to let me treat myself! And what better way than swaps and giveaways :) I have such a passion for making little gifts, and even more so, recieving them!! So today I have been rummaging through your lovely blogs, and finding links to other blogs and so on which has been lovely :D and I'm very pleased to announce that along with my own Fairytale Swap, I have now joined faerienuff's Strawberry Swap, Fondant Kiss's Boudoir Swap, LaaLaa's lovely Giveaway and Mel's Giveaway too! Some of these Swaps and Giveaways are still open ^_^ so go ahead and check them out! And even if they're closed, each of these ladies have such wonderful blogs, it's certainly worth a visit anyway!!
