This month has gone so fast. i have blinked and it's the end of it. I have been really busy. Went to Scrappers Paradise in Guildford. Really Really Really enjoyed that. I learnt all sorts of new tricks, put on 4lbs and just had a great time. Strongly suggest that anyone into scrapbooking go on it. Did I mention the amount of retail therpy I did. There were 2 stores and they both let you run an account. So I would spend £10 here and £15 there. A bit of a shock when I had to pay my accounts. Double my budge. (Phil was very understanding.)
The boys were back at school today and I was back at work. I get lazy so quickly when I'm on holiday, even if it is only 5 days. Getting back into reutine always is a shock.
Christmas is just around the corner. I love Christmas, love decorating the house, the presents, the smells, the fun. I just love Christmas.
Benjamins birthday is in 2 weeks, my baby is going to be 7yrs old. Time seems to be speeding up since he turned 5.
I have rambled alittle today.
Will try and put photo's up of all I did away on scrappers paradise, later

What no Mail again!!!!!!!
I just didn't realise how much I enjoy looking through my mail when I get home after work. There has been no mail for 4 days. And I am expecting a book from America and 2 from Amazon and one from a friend. And I have no mail. Just looked on the Royal mail website and I'm not going to get any till Wednesday if I'm lucky. I'm also expecting 2 scrapbook deliveries. I can't live like this (lol), I want my mail.
We onto not so norotic ramblings, I have just booked a holiday at the French resort Les Mouettes in France of course (its near Roscoff), for begining of August for 2 weeks. I know it's a long way away but I got the 2nd to last booking for August. I now have extra incentive to Learn French. Spending 2 weeks in France without being able to talk to the natives would s**k. Talking about French I can now count upto 69 and say hello, how are you, are you married, what is your job etc. And no one laughs to much at me, so I must be doing alright. We started learning the names of animals last week. I remember un rat. Ohhh I'm good. lol
I have to study to night and learn a few more I think. But for only 3 weeks of French I'm not doing so bad.
If you have wondered why I have mentioned that world thingy that NZ ISN'T playing in any more, well becasue, it's not very fetching to watch a nation cry. Wouldn't like to be certain people on their way home just at the moment. Betten by the FRENCH, how shaming is that. The FRENCH. Never mind not talking about that any more.
The only good news is the Australians got betten too, by the other nation I support.
Wanted to see if I could add a slide show to my blog. So have used some random photos from photobucket to see if it would work. Here goes......

I'm Back.....
It has been awhile since I blogged. Been upto alot and nothing at all. Work, school run, housework, work, school run.....well you get the idea.
I have started to new classes, one scrapbooking, and the other is a how to speak French.
I love the French course, it is so funny trying to get my tounge around a new language. I'm not the only one though so it does make it easier. My 6 yr old son is teaching me at home how to say the words properly. You really have to be able to laugh at yourself to do a new language. It is a year course so you will be hearing more about it no doubt.
The photography course is coming along. I haven't been posting the assignments, but I am still enjoying the course. I now want a flash camera, to go with my new flash skills. Christmas is coming. lol
Last weekend I went away with 7 friends to Cotswold for a scrapping weekend. I had the best time, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Didn't get much sleep, though I did get more than the rest of them. We had a photo shoot by the lake which was heaps of fun. I will add some photos here so you can see, but as I am at work at the moment and the photos are at home you will have to wait. But they are coming....
Well I had better go and do some work. Talk soon
