The first entry in my new blog.

Well here I go again.

I've been wanting to start a blog again for a few weeks now, but have never had a) the time, b) the patience and c) the peace and quiet!!

I'm not supposed to even be at home today but my Sons (Ross) teacher called sick today so no choice but stay home with him, the joys of being a mother! So take advantage and do something for me!!

Not that I should'nt use the time more constructively, do housework, go shopping, do the washing, pay the bills, go to the post office........ Yeh Right, extra time at home is ME TIME!! I swear it's something thats becoming a rarity these days; between Ross and Greg (my Hubby), I get a lot less me time than I used to..

On a more positive front I completed a scrapbooking LO yesterday which I really like (see above). I've decided to go back to simple scrapping which is more in line with my likes. No more trying to "follow trends" which I actually don't particularily like. There is a lot out there which suits others but which is totally wrong for me and my photos! I've come to the conclusion that what I like is what I should do. What everyone else thinks is their problem. I've tried a lot of different stuff recently but can honestly say that some of the results have not pleased me in the least, so same photos will undoubtedle be re-scrapped in the simpler style. As for the trends, well those who want to use them or are determinned to see their work published can go for it, I'll be happy to be left behind until something I really like comes along.

Sad news

I just received the news that my Mums Aunt has died this morning. To most an aunt of one of their parents would not seem much in the way of a close relation but to me Auntie Janet was a very special lady. her husband, uncle Franck was very special to me as he shared my birthday and later when I got married we shared a wedding anniversary! Both dates were comeplete accident. i was born over a month early so should have been born in June not May, so we had a close relationship just based on that shared birthday, but when we chose to get married on the 18th of September then found out it was janet and francks anniversary, well the coinstances could not be any bigger.

Well I started writing this last night and found I had to stop!! It's so weird how you start writing and all these memories just pop up out of nowhere.

After having to take yesterday off work i got in today to find that my boss has been persuaded by one of my collegues to do a "dry run" of moving one of our more useless employees to my vacant team spot....... I mean I need someone with a bit of good sence and a minimum of training..... BUT, well my nameless collegue has been looking for a way to transfer this particular person for a while, and my current staff shortage has given him the perfect opportunity to convince the boss that this is a "logical next step" for the employee!! in other words move him from his team to mine, equals move the problem to someone else. THANKS MATE!!

Thank goodness for home shopping delivery. My delivery arrived tonight and saved me a maddening trip around the supermarket. We used to do a supermarket shopping then have it delivered, but thankfully france is finally catching on to internet shoping. Don't know if i could cope with going back to doing "real" grocery shoping. Not only is it easier and saves on the getting mad at the crouds, but it also saves me a fortune, I don't tend to do the impulse shopping and it's also allowing us to spend our Saturdays in a much more interesting way.

Well a bit of a hodge podge of thoughts jumbling in my haed so apologies to anyone reading who is now thinking... and just where is she going with all of this.... short answer is nowhere in particular!!
