Happy Fathers Day

here is what Archie kindly got his daddy for Father's day & he even made his daddy a card hehe...................

Haley's Hen day part two ........

what a great night we had last night although I am feeling a little tender today ( due to amount of alcohol we consumed but also sore from the go-karting !!!!)

We had a lovely meal where we sat from about 7pm - 10pm then went off to a club where we had a bottle of champagne (£75 a bottle OMG ) then went and sat in the VIP area. The only thing I liked in the VIP area was that you got served quickly at the bar but to be honest I like sitting with everyone else. We were up dancing loads and it was a lot of old school tunes from when we were younger so it was great fun. Felt like I was 20 again hehe

I had to wave the white flag at 1.30 as just couldnt manage to drink anymore so myself, Haley, Shona and Kirsty got a taxi home ( which is quite a hard thing to do on a saturday night when all the bars are closing ). Haley has found a sneaky way of getting a taxi quickly is to call them and dont tell them you are outside a club but give them a door number then wait outside the door for the taxi to come ....... sneaky eh !!!!!!!!!!




Anyway not really in the mood for chatting so here are some photos from last night





Haley the bride to be is in the coral dress............ she loved her whip from ann summers and her handcuffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haley's Hen day part one.....

For the first part of haley's hen day we went go-karting out in Livingston and what a laugh we had. I have never been before and would thoroughly recommend it for anyone who has not been. We had 3 x 20 lap races then a final where usually the final 6 go through but as there were only 7 of us they let us all into the final. I crashed my car (after someone clipping the back of me !!!!!) so I came last as once someone laps you, its so hard to catch up although I think my quickest lap was about 20.68 secs so not bad. Overall though I came joint fourth with my mum so chuffed I never came last overall hehe

Now its just off to get ready for tonight. We are all meeting at 5.30 in a pub then our meal is booked for 7pm and after that we are off clubbing it. Here are some photos of part one of the day and tomorrow I will try ( if not too hungover !!!!) and update with some photos of tonight.

I got Haley a bottle of champers for getting ready so hopefully she wont be too drunk when she comes over for me

Have a great weekend xx

I am sooooo tired (yawn)

I cant believe how tired I am today. I didn't go to bed late (10.30pm) and was up at 7am but feel like I have had about 4 hours sleep. I think it may be the muggy heat we have although it rained almost all of last night. I woke up and listened to the rain for ages. I just love the sound of rain as long as I am not out in it.

I was working today and really couldnt be bothered with it. I really should have went to the gym tonight ( got to drop a dress size for Haley's wedding ) but will go on Thur instead when Mark gets in from work. I have recently joined the gym at my work for 6 weeks for £20. I thought I would see how I get on using it, and if I use it a lot then will join ( monthly £17.50) I went on Monday and it was really hard although not really sore - does that mean I didnt work hard enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a sadder note, my friend Kirsty, who I have known since I was 12, has booked her flights to go to Oz with her daughter and hubby. She is leaving us on the 31st July. I cant believe she is doing this but wish her all the luck and happiness and hope its everything she has hoped for. She is really brave as I know I couldnt do this. Unfortunately I wont be able to go to her leaving party as its on the same day as my sisters wedding but I will pop though to see her one day and take through some photos of when we were younger so we can have a laugh about them. I need to get them scanned then put onto a disk and then printed off. I was peeing myself when I was looking though these LOL.

Archie is fine but his favourite work at the moment is NO. You ask him if he wants something and he replies NO but then 2 mins later asks for whatever you asked him if he wanted. Also, his favourite programme is back on. In the night garden is a definate hit in this household and I though my boy loved Thomas.......... He screams as soon as In the night garden finishes and wants it back on. I really wish I had a recordable DVD player so I could tape them and just keep putting them on for him ...........

Right off to spend some time with hubby before I depart to bed.

Take care

My boys.....

Forgot to add a photo of my most recent LO. I haven't been able to do a LO for months so got my trusty Autumn Leaves idea book out and done a scraplift. Also got to play with my lush new AL stamps ( and borrowed Helen's Heidi Swapp 'smile' stamp) After completing this LO I cerainly feel I have my mojo back ( or is that just until the next LO I attempt LOL )

shopping.....my favourite thing

Just back from Princess Street shopping for an outfit for Haley's hen party on saturday.

I ended up getting a gorgeous gold top from coast and some gorgeous gold sandals from Dune. I have got a pair of black cropped trousers so will need to try it all on together. I was planning on getting high heels but then seen these flatties and thought I would get more wear out of them since I never go out anywhere nice to wear heels anymore.

I also got haley a whip and handcuffs from ann summers as she doesnt want dressed up ( ie tutu, tiara, L plates etc) so she said the most she will wear is a sash so got her one of those as well but just had to get her something ( and the whip is sooooo cool. May just have to steal it off her LOL) Looking forward to saturday and going go karting. We have booked Hadrians (part of the Balmoral) for about 6pm. We were meant to have a private room in the Balmoral but they wanted us to choose one meal for everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are then going off to George street and haley has got us on the guest list for a club ( OMG not been to a club in years ) wonder how I will cope with all the young things I am off out with ( well apart from my mum and her future MIL LOL) and on sunday its fathers day so Mark was feeling sorry for himself saying I wouldnt be able to spoil him on sunday as will be hungover until I kindly pointed out he was at the cup final on Mothering Sunday and left me alone from about 9am until late !!!!!!!!!!! He then decided there wasnt much he could say to that............ hehe

Anyway I am off to get Archie to have a snooze ( fingers crossed ) he wouldnt sleep yesterday but not sure if he is just about to drop his sleep as he goes to bed at 7.45pm/8pm then wakes about 7.30am whereas a few weeks ago for some reason he was waking at 6.15am every morning (yawn) but then having 2 hour sleep during the day to make up for it, then he changed back suddenly to his old routine so not sure if something had been bothering him

Take care ( especially Kat - hun just to say I am thinking of you both ) xx

Thomas...........

Before I forget here are some photos of our day out with Thomas and friends...............
