I decided that my blog needed photos, my children need to see the things that happen in their lives as well as read about them so I got out my camera put batteries in it, they weren't "strong" enough for the camera, put in rechargeable ones, they aren't holding the charge anymore, went out and bought stronger ones - still no good!! OK, not a problem as I have the camera on my phone, turned it on . . . phone camera isn't working and its beyond repair!! Jinxed. New rechargeable ones ordered and hopefully they will be here quickly. I can't even Ebay the "stuff" that's building up waiting until I have a working camera, very frustrating.
Took C to the Docs today, she has a chest infection, so medicine prescribed along with back up inhalers, good job its half term week now.
Even though C has a hacking cough I decided to take her, D and his best friend M to Willen Peace Pagoda where there are some small hillocks - great for sledging and as the snow is going fast I thought it had better be today as its likely to have gone by tomorrow. They had great fun sledging and snowballing and were soaked after an hour, back home we trundled to have Hot Chocolate with mallows, squirty cream and flake, described by M as awesome, how lovely as its not often I get it right!
Weekend starts tomorrow and K is off for both days, a walk is planned and a visit to B&Q - reduced compost - allotmenteering on the cheap!

My 1st follower, weather, ironing and coughing
Hello Hart - thank you for following me :] Hart has a lovely blog about the lovely items she makes, inspiring and creative, lovely, lovely sewing!
Its so cold here, barely rising above freezing. The heating is on all day and most of the evening, snow is forecast for tonight, hopefully there won't be too much although C and D would like lots - they want to go sledging, that'll be K's job if we get enough!
I've just spent hours catching up with the ironing, each time I let it build up I swear to myself that I'll do a bit each day - never happens and then I have to spend so much time catching up with it, its a boring thankless task. I know some people don't iron anything but I can't do that, the obsessive side of me likes to see us wearing flattened clothes! I can never get clothes to dry flat even if I shake the life out of them! Still at least it keeps me warm in the winter.
C is having her second day off school and will be off tomorrow too, she has a chesty, hacking cough and is prone to Seasonal Asthma so it means that when she gets a cough or cold we have to keep her off for a day or two if it looks like a nasty one so that is doesn't develop into an infection that will bring on the Asthma. I tried to get her into the Docs today but her Doctor was off so I'll be phoning at 8 tomorrow to get her in and a new inhaler prescribed - hopefully.
D had his 9th birthday party on Tuesday night, his birthday was in November!! We couldn't afford a party then so he's patiently waited till now. I took him and 7 friends to MacD's and then to Quasar [Laser gun thingy place] They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and had a great time. He's already planning his next and final party lol.

Snow, Puberty and Crochet
Wow, what a title - talk about a mix of things to say.
Snow is starting to melt away slowly, C and D are out there building things, DS is building a snowman and C is building an igloo, photos will be taken.
C is suffering the pangs of puberty, crying, stroppy, high, low etc. Its all very confusing and frustrating for her. Its testing the patience of everyone!
I can't crochet, more wool has been flung across the room that ever. I can't get my fingers to do what they should be doing and I can't follow tutorials written or on you tube. Its very annoying!!
Off to do some more washing, drying and ironing - the never ending tasks!!

Its Snowing
How excited - very excited
Who's excited - I'm excited
lol
I love the snow and I've been wittering on to K for ages about how much I want it to snow. We've food, we've warmth, what more could we need.
Ebaying items at the moment, 3 will sell tomorrow, hopefully others will get a bid on them, its all in the aid of petrol money for our holiday in August
