Harry Potter

I have had a full on Harry Potter weekend. Finished the last HP book and went to the cinema with my mum last night to watch the order of the Pheonix which I though was fantastic. The last book was great although was a bit dissapointed with the ending ( won't spoil it for those that haven't read it)

Its a great excuse to get out with my mum as Mark refuses to go to the cinema to watch Harry Potter so me and my mum always get to go out on our own for a while.

I went to Costco today to get some photos of archies birthday and haleys wedding printed off so I have framed one of mark and archie and put it up in our hall. Got a few essentials as well while I was there ( about 40 kitchen rolls - I havent a clue why we go through so many !!!! & cat food) Could have spent ages walking around but as mark was there it was a quick in and out visit

Thought I was going to have to return my ipod as it had frozen but once I let the battery run out it worked fine once I charged it again so added more songs. I now have about 250 songs on it so only got another 750 to go !!!!!!!!!! I also got the greatest little gadget at the weekend for my ipod. Its a little radio transmiter that you plug in to your ipod then play your music through your radio in the car. It must be the most amazing gadget ever ( or am I just really easily pleased !!!!!!)

On friday myself and julie went through to see Kirsty who is jetting off to Oz to stay so it was a bit tearful when we were leaving her. I couldnt really get a chance to speak to her properly as archie was running about mad and pulling at jamie's face so couldnt leave him alone for more than 2 seconds without him trying to get hold of Jamie. I cant believe she is really going but think she is soooo brave for making this move but I think she will find it hard to start with as she is so close with all her family. She is certainly braver than I could be. I just dont think I could even move to england as would feel so far away from my family. She will be well and truly missed but I hope she finds all the happiness she deserves in Oz. I will add a photo of myself, Kirsty and Julie once I have uploaded it onto my pc.

Anyway I am off to realx now as just had an Indian and am totally stuffed. I really must make a thank you card tonight ( or will it be really bad if I buy one ) as one of our neighbours knows archie is thomas daft so handed in an old Thomas the Tank engine toy for him as her little ones dont like thomas anymore. He is still playing with all his Thomas engines and loves the books but thankfully he has stopped watching the dvd and has moved onto Cars ( which is fab). There was only so many times I could watch Thomas the tank engine. His other fav films are still Polar express ( train daft my boy) and Lady and the tramp ( loves dogs ) so we do get the odd new film to watch every now and again but today I actually got him to watch some of harry potter just so he could see the train - Is it a boy thing or should I start worrying now about him LOL.

Hope you all had a great weekend and will update soon

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Scott

well Haley has finally got married. Everyone had sucha an amazing day and Haley looked stunning. Unfortunately the wedding planner had my camera so I couldn't get the photos I wanted but I got some ( only once we were all drunk !!!!)

Haley, myself and mum stayed at the hotel the night before and had a lovely meal then retired to our suite and had some G & T's. Haley went off to bed ( I think she was a wee bit tipsy ) and the three of us slept in the biggest bed I have ever seen. It was 3 pillows wide with room enough for the three of us ( just as well as there was only meant to be 2 of us staying haha) Haley woke in the morning and was surprisingly calm so once our breakfast arrived ( cooked breakfast with just about everything else off the menu ) she started tucking into the cooked breakfast but I think the nerves got the better of her eventually and she couldn't eat anymore ( whereas I on the other hand could have eaten hers as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I dont think she got really nervous until she put her dress on and she looked stunning. Couldn't belive this was my baby sister, she looked so elegant.

As for my boy, he was a little dandy in his kilt. Will add some photos but haley has more on bebo ( is that how you spell it as never been on it before) although haley has told me that all her photos are on there now so will have to steal some. It was an amazing day and evening and I wish them many years of happiness to come xx

Two years old already...

where has the time gone. My little baby has turned 2 ( well on Thursday last week but it has been a busy busy week) He was totally spoiled and got some lovely pressies.

In the morning the plan was to go to Gorgie city farm but as usual in scotland it was pouring with rain so we ended up sitting about in our jammies watching dvd's (Cars, lady & the tramp & Tractor Tom) then in the afternoon we had a few people round ( Granny Mac, gran, granpa, Auntie Pam, frazer, Glen & kerr and my sister) Most of the pressies were Thomas the tank engine as he just loves them but he also got a little tikes car from gran and granpa and a shoot and thomas scooter from Granny Mac. I had spotted a cake in Asda a few weeks ago that was a thomas the tank engine so rather than getting a cake made ( or attempting to make one myself haha) we got him this. He absolutely loves having his cousins round and was in his element playing with them. He really does love his cousins. I will add some photos of his birthday and also a photo of when he was born as I cant believe how big he is getting. Love you Bubs and happy birthday xx

technology nightmare !!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAaarrrgggghh why do things have to be so complicated or is it just that I am a Techno phobe ( god I sound like I am 93 !!!!!!!!!)


here is my new baby. An IPOD nano 4gb ( holds 1000 songs ) ................... or should that be if I can get the music on to it. What a nightmare. Last night I got 42 songs on it and today after downloading some cd's onto my pc I tried to add them and now I have just about the whole content of my library on it. Bob the builder and the Balamory theme tune is definately not something I want to be listening to but somehow it has copied just about everything ggggrrrrr.

I cant believe I have never bought one before now as I love music. Definately showing my age now LOL.

Haley will pop up later to try and sort it as I really dont have a clue and the instructions are total pants..................

So fingers crossed after today I will be able to listen to the music I actually want on it........
