Erm ooohh ahh!

I did want to blog about something today but I've forgotten what it was. MMM it could have been about the cat but I'm not sure. Oh well never mind, I'm sure it will return to me in the next few days. Well my Open Uni course has gotten underway and I'm quite happily learning about such things as Objects, Class, Superclass, Subclass - oi stop yawning, it's only going to get worse! Yes welcome to my world of learning about Object Oriented Programming with Java. Hot hot Java. Sadly not the hot milky kind I find in my local Neros but the tippty tappity on the keyboard kind. I have re-entered the realm of the PROGRAMMER.

I have to say a big Yo to Tosha for returning some large knitting needles I had totally forgotten about them (I reckon I'd forgotten a year ago about these). Cheers lovely lady I shall stash them away in my knitting bag for next time. See there is some hope for our placenta brains. Ah that reminds me it was a video of Elvis that I wanted to share with you - erm but I've left the video downloaded on my pc in the office. Curses. Oh well let's hope I can remember tomorrow to upload it to the blog.

PS this post was wirelessly presented to you today from my bedroom

Woo hoo wireless rocks

Even thought I'm only 2 feet away from the pc and router I'm wireless nevertheless!

Weeeee!

wireless router is here - next blog should be via my laptop whilst roaming the house :)

Ta Da!!!

Knocked this up in about 20 minutes with the left over material from Phoebes cushions I made on Sunday!

Sew mad

I made some cushion covers for Phoebes wooden bench in her bedroom! Not too bad for a complete novice. The woman at Dunelm overestimated the amount of material I needed and now I have enough left over to make a large cushion.

I also received some compliments for the taggies I've made for various friends. Lucie kindly told me that people have been asking here where she got her taggie blanket from, she told them it was hand made and people said they were interested in it. So I'm off to make some little business cards and get her to pass them on to whoever asks!

RE:Things to think about

How come George (double u) Bush's Army can hit and explode a dangerous moving satellite but yet failed so many times to hit a non-moving target on ground?

To all my American friends I apologise for my previous comment. I certainly don't put you in the same light as the dumb-ass George (duuble-yaa) Bush.

Saying goodbye..

We've decided to cut our home telephone - from 20th March we will no longer have a home phone! You may ask why and the simple reason is we've all got mobile phones, and hardly used the home one. So it's time to say goodbye, somehow I don't think i'll miss it!

Things to think about

Can you guess what it is yet?

some updated photos

Jessica and Phoebe

Ok who's been stealing the corn flakes?
Doesn't she look so innocent now?
erm?

It's pink

More parcels

Just bought myself a bubblejum pink Dell laptop (it's got a webcam too) . Oh and did I tell you it was pink? Ok so I finally purchased one, not that i've been bemoaning the fact to my friends that buying in the states is half the price compared to buying here, but as I don't know anyone who is flying back anytime son and I needed one to allow be to be more mobile whilst trying to study for my OU degree - well I just had to buy one, and it was pink!

Parcels are Great

I wish I got more parcels! I've had a spate of them recently, first my new funky webcam arrived, next my Open University books arrived. Today I got a mystery parcel that I had to pick up from the post office. And indside was a full sized free sample of some new fabric conditioner, along with a booklet of money off vouchers. I'm really looking forward to using this one. I'm also awaiting some parcels from the Natural Collection website. I ordered some items that were on sale! Next I got 2 x 2GB sd micro memory cards (which I use for Phoebe's Nintendo to ahem store games on!).

Woohoo to parcels and may they continue to bring the joy they've brought me in the last month (especially so when they haven't cost me any money)

Nuts

Yes my family are nuts! But I love them more and more each day :)

Lost

Ok Lost season 4 is about to appear on Sky One. Great I shout. Boo as I don't actually have Sky One. They also state that there are going to be answers in this seasons episodes - better be otherwise I'll be booking myself into the nearest rehab centre.

Still Busy

Yes I'm still busy, too busy to blog. But I have added another link at the right hand side of my blog with some of my favourite links to websites and shops. I'm promoting this as I try to slowly change our household over to more ecofriendly products and way of living. We are even going to sell my car and just have one family car! Shall be interesting to see how we cope with that change. And no doubt I'll blog about it. But for now I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has kept asking after my mum. She's doing a lot better now, and now doubt over the following months she will be regaining her strength. She's still yet to see the cardiologist, but otherwise she's fine.

Toodle pip everyone

Ooops

time does fly when you're having fun/working your backside off/getting ready to study a part-time degree/preparing for red-tag in Tae Kwon Do/cooking/cleaning/making a retro taggie/shopping and I mean clothes shopping/organising play dates/organising school meetings/Governors Meetings/buying and sending birthday presents/organising a girls only night out at a posh restaurant/jogging twice a week/making sure my bank account is safe after HM Revenue lost precious data/reading up on latest laptops, webcams and media centres oh and baking banana choc-chip muffins.

Boy and thats all in one week.

Is it any wonder that sometimes I do forget things?

A New Baby!

I'd like to give a big welcome to Jessica Grace Scott who was born at 6.17am. Well done to both Suzy and Rob!

New Year, New What...

Well its been busy to say the least. Mum came out of hospital just in time for Christmas, and I think that was the best Christmas present our family got this year. We spent 3 days with my folks after Christmas and we also managed to squeeze in a short visit to Aberdeen to see some old friends. So good to see everyone in such a short space of time.

Anyway we saw in New Year at a friends house and had a great time, I only had 2 drinks and was glad that I didn't have a hangover like I had earlier in the week at Lorna's house!
We are also still awaiting the arrival of GrandKiddy Scott Number 2. So I'm sending some "hurry up baby" and "good birth" vibes to Rob and Suzy, and I can't wait to hear from them with some good news about their new baby.

I've just had a lovely day of bowling with Lisa & Paul and family , and Liz & Jez and family! 12 of us went bowling though only 2 had to sit out as they were too young (Emily and the very very young and new born Phoebe - she's such a cute baby, she made me feel slightly broody). Ok I have to say that I totally sucked at bowling (out of the 10 playing I came last equal with Phoebe) so me thinks some practice is needed before I send out another email with a challenge to more bowling. Ahem onto other things, many thanks to Liz and Jez for kindly providing a lovely lunch too. I shall return the favour soon I hope.
