Red Again

She has been nagging me to do the roots. "And make it redder please this time!" The only place to do this was outside as the dye is drippy . It looked like Sweeny Todd had been in the garden by the time we finished. Thankfully it all washed away without too much bleach on the patio.

She was happy with the result ( thankfully) ..Not too keen to sit and be photographed as she was getting ready to go to Norwich with her mates.

My fingernails are only slightly red today (yes I did wear gloves).

And Tonight We have Baked Spuds

With Prawns, salad and garlic bread. No salad or prawns for Dan though- he has tuna (no mayo) .

No dessert tonight, they can grab a yoghurt if they are still hungry after that !

How is it possible to be so tired when I have done so little!? I have not touched the ironing and have loads to do but just can't be bothered.

Dan stayed with a mate last night , so it was lovely and quiet here for most of the day - when he got home , he made up for it by winding up his sisters big time....sigh

Most medical appointments have been sorted , just got to arrange a new epileptic appoint for Dan and Nats as, although I made the appointment, they didn't and when we turned up, they didn't have one for us...Wouldn't have minded so much if they had said sorry!

Meg finally has an interview at college next week :) Unfortunately we are now without a Prom venue as the place they were holding it has closed down and the kids have lost over £800..The prom committee are looking else where and there are a few weeks to go , so cross your fingers.

Tonight's tea

uploaded the wrong way! ohh well desert is always better . Thanks to Paula for the fab strawberry recipe - everyone loved it and you can get it HERE.

The Lemon Chicken was found here ..I wont use dark soya sauce next time though. I like my sauce to look more lemony.

Half term

How is it possible to be so tired when I am on holiday!? This week is whizzing by and I still have so much to do. Of course I have spent far too much time on here!

I have still got ironing to do ( pffft!) and LOADS of paper work. Done most of the doc/med appointments :) Managed to make q few cards :D And order too many stamps!

Ohh and the dish washer has died ( not done too badly as I bought it 6 years ago from a fiend for £50). I do need to get another as the dishes are never ending when there are 5 adults in the house.

Right better get to those forms

End of school

For our year 11's. Yes they will all be back on Monday for the start of GCSE's. They looked great in fancy dress and were really well behaved on the whole. I only saw them to sign shirts not to tell anyone off :) The photo was taken with the sun right in my face! so not so great as I couldn't see what I was doing.

Meg's last day too :( She had to go in uniform and change later for a bowling trip. But, that's it for her till college in September. I will have to leave a list of all my housework to keep her busy :D

A Tiring week

I don't get stressed that often (thank heavens with MY family!) . But it has been a very stressy week and I am worn out this morning!

Meg had her ART exam on Thursday and Friday - I am not happy with the help she has not received from the school ( she has an educational statement ) . She should have 20 hours 1-1 support a week in school but I know she doesn't get it and never has. As an ex teaching assistant I am well aware of the lack of resources in school . She has shared a TA with a small group of other pupils so I haven't made a fuss. She has never has any support in art ( they don't send any one at all as it is not classed as academic but I think she needs help to understand what is required of her ). I am annoyed that I wasn't told about the extra sessions put on at lunchtime ( although again , she would not have got any help). I am also annoyed that my back up plan for her , if she finished her final piece too quickly, was ignored by her art teacher and she was given something else to do. I am also annoyed that she did not wear an apron and came home covered in acrylic paint ( she still has a week of school left and I have had to scrub it off her uniform as best as I could by hand and put it though the machine twice).

I have an Eco report to write for the school ( my school) governors meeting this month and no time to do it at school , so that's today then.

I spent yesterday feeling sick as I was trying to get Natalie seen by a doctor all day . She has a nasty infection and needed antibiotic quickly as I only found out about it yesterday. After numerous phone calls and discussions we were finally given an appointment at 10.15 last night ( thankfully locally as Derek is away this weekend and I didn't want to drag everyone out). Nats has weird "fits" if she is ill but thankfully was ok yesterday and the doctor said we had caught it quickly enough.

I went to bed with a splitting headache to be woken at 3.30 by Natalie and Daniel arguing!!

Hopefully today will be a better day - fingers crossed. Sorry for the moan :D

GCSE Art Exam.

I will be SO glad when this week is over! Meg has her Art exam on Thursday and Friday of this week. I feel like I am nagging too much. She doesn't want to practice and she needs to. Drawing is not her best skill so we have chosen simple bottle/pot shapes to draw. The painting will be easier. Part of me says back off as she will not be using this at college ( she is going to be doing a life skills course) Meg had moderate learning difficulties and type 1 diabetes. Her weakest areas are numeracy and literacy. Her older brother and sister also have similar problems. Meg will be the first of our children to sit a GCSE. All I want is for her to pass. Her predicted grade is D/E which is fine. Am I asking too much ? Should I back off? I just think it would do her self esteem the power of good to get it.

Her friend is also sitting it so it would really hurt if she failed and her friend didn't.

Anyway, I have bought water colour pencils, paints, acrylic paint, oil paints canvases, water colour paper , sketch pads. She has access to all my craft supplies and tools ( not many people can say that! ) I bought everything so we can do a complete run though of the exam. I suppose its because I am her mum that she is resistant. All she wants to do is watch the blinklin Disney channel! Or chat on Facebook!

I managed to get her to paint the background yesterday ( based on Mark Rothko paintings )

We even mixed up a gold glitter paint for the first coat and painted a recipe in her sketch book.

Now I just need her to paint the image, we have photographed an arrangement and turned it into a poster art image with filters. This way she only needs to use four colours and they are in blocks of colour. Apart from do it for her, I can't think of how else to help her. I have to say that I am NOT impressed with the school - originally the exam was on the 20th May , so they have brought it forward two weeks. But, also, they have not supported her as much as I would have liked. There were extra classes at lunch time but I guess no TA would give up lunches to help her ( not that she has a TA in art - She SHOULD have 20 hrs a week) Working in a school myself and as a former TA , I understand that resources have to be stretched sometimes. I wasn't told about the extra classes though , I found out from another parent.

Like I said, I will be glad when this week is over. In the big scheme of things, it's not that important ...but ...just in case...cross your fingers for her please.

Preparing for Prom

The hair Style..But with red hair.

The dress ordered, paid ,just waiting delivery.

We still need shoes and Meg wants fairly flat ones as she is tall. I also need to get a petticote ( watching one on Ebay) .

Hard to believe that she has 10 days of school left + exam days before she leaves.

Natalie's Birthday

Natalie was 26 yrs today..Where DID the time go?! We had a small BBQ in the back garden to celebrate as it was such a lovely day. We bought her a new suitcase and a camera for her Butlins Holiday later in the year. Thankfully I also bought her a hard case to put her camera in a she has already dropped it!!

As usual I left it to the last moment to decide to do something. A couple of hours before, thought I'd make a banner. I used my new spellbinder dies and a Tim Holtz alterations die ( for the rosettes ).

Daniel never seems to wear much in this weather around the house, just shorts. I have cropped this photo to save your poor eyes!

Derek took hundreds of photos of himself, so I thought I'd better include one of him trying to be cool. He also took loads of me but not one is flattering!

Lovely sunny day with the sun about to set.

HAPPY EASTER !!

Oppps

These fell into my basket and a snip at £13.30 ! Nip over to Craft Obsessions Where there is an Easter sale and NO P&P at the mo . They have Sizzix,Tim Holtz , SDpellbinders and Basic Grey all on special.

I was only looking at these particular dies the other day ..thinking that I needed them but I'd wait as they were over £15........Kismet! ;) ( sorry I think I bought that last set).

What a glorious day it has been here ..so warm and sunny. I spent yesterday outside painting stamped images for my cards and caught the sun. Today I popped to the garden centre to get a few seedlings for my pots..just gotta go out there later and pot them all up .......I LOVE Spring !

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

While blog hopping i found This post and thought I would do the same.

Here Goes...

Yesterday

I got up early to enjoy the peace and quiet.

I spoke to my sister for a while on Skype ( it was great to see her)

I cleaned out the fridge and tidied the kitchen

I Created a layout for the first time in weeks.

I accidently ordered A Tim Holtz sizzix die.

I watched Harry potter again this time with Derek.

Today

I found the patio ( under a pile of weeds) and washed down the garden furniture.

I got stung by a stinging nettle as I pulled it out of the patio.

I bribed Dan to let me photograph him.

I washed the kitchen window and the one in the back door..i can SEE!

I made three cards

I cooked Gammon and chips for tea.

Tomorrow

I will take Meg to look round Bury College.

I will hire a skip for all the rubbish in back garden.

I will send back the tiny converse that I got for Derek :)

I will NOT be cooking tea :)

I will have to order some ink for my printer.

I will be taking Natalie to the cinema with her girls group to see HOP.

How about You ?

New shoes!!

I have recently been raving about the tReds shoe store. I LOVE shoes and cheaper shoes are even better. One word of warning..DO be careful when ordering the correct size! Derek loves converse and has a couple of pairs already. He saw some recently in a high street store but I said No.. I'll look on tReds to see if I can get them cheaper..............RESULT..size 13 ( he has enormous feet!) £22 , so I ordered ( a pair of sketchers also fell into the basket in my "normal" size.) Derek has been waiting for the delivery ever since. And today they arrived...

........No Matter what angle you look at them from, they don't look any bigger!! OOOPs..I ordered a CHILDS size 13.

Even the box is too small. He is currently sulking.

These little beauties are mine. They fit perfectly, are comfortable and £10 cheaper than high street stores at £14.99.

My feet are far too cold to actually wear them today though.

I have been blog hopping and spending too much time sat here reading posts, blogs and browsing on-line stores. I would like to share a lovely blog with you by Hannah go check it out you won't be disappointed.

Hols are whizzing by!

Some of the stash I bought yesterday at Papermaze . I am addicted to Spelbinder dies.

I have already got the plain banner dies and just needed theses to go with them. I suppose I ought to USE them now?!

I knew they would and I was right....the holiday is going too fast! I have SO much to do and am running out of time. I don't seem to have done very much for ME ..ahh well.

Meg is off shopping tomorrow and is desperate for more money to spend, even though she has her birthday money.....she actually hoovered ..i nearly fainted ..till she asked

me to pay her!! LOL

Love Soojay xx

A Trip Out

To see Ness at papermaze. I took Natalie as she and I rarely go out together and although I have already got her birthday presents, a girl can never have too much stash.

As usual I nearly missed the turn off LOL. It was a lovely sunny day so quite a nice drive.

Yesterday I trimmed and coloured Meg's hair. She had been crazing for sometime. As her hair is so long and thick, I have to use two bottles of dye.

I am hoping to tidy the garden up a bit tomorrow if there is still a bit of sun about.

I am LOVING the Easter hols as so far, its been sunny ( if not as warm as I'd like it).

We are having Chinese for tea tonight as a special treat ( we don't usually have it DURING the week)........so NO cooking ........result!

Ohh you want to know what I bought at papermaze ????

I'll post later ;)

My Baby Girl is 16 today!

As you can see, the sun shone for her this morning. She had asked for a new laptop as her is quite old,slow and has 4 keys missing. I was happy coz it was either a laptop OR a party. I did put a whole load of soft wear on it that has made her very happy. She also had a cordless pink mouse and bag.

Thankfully I had installed it all before I wrapped it so all she had to do was switch on. She was up nice and early this morning :D I doubt I shall see her for three weeks now!!

I even got a very small smile ...BEFORE school!!

Her cake tonight. There was only Megs, Derek and I as the two older ones had gone out..still we got the biggest slices ;)

I have a cake sale at school tomorrow in aid of the climate run. I look after all the "Eco" stuff at school and some of our pupils are running on Thursday. I was a bit worried that I would also have to run ..but thankfully, I just have to bake cakes tonight. I had better get on with it then.

In the words of some of my fav year 11's......Laerrrs!

Mothers Day

Always bitter sweet as mum is no longer here. Daniel did the whole arrangement above at college this week, including the decoupage on the pot.

Meg asked me to print out a digi stamp - I thought it was to make a card for her friend ( most of her friends are also 16 this month). Instead she gave me the card above, with inked edges as well!

From Nat I had a beautiful card with a badge that says "loved to bits" and a teddy.

Derek bought me two bottles of perfume- secret wish (Anna Sui ) and Naughty Alice (Vivianne Westwood) and some flowers.

Really spoiled!

An Ordinary Day

That's so funny as I doubt that many of my days are ordinary. That's okay though, I don't mind. Our house is manic at the best of times even though my children are hardly "children" any more. Meg, the baby, is 16 in 10 days ahhhhh !

They all have learning difficulties and OCD. Two have tourettes, one "tic" disorder, one has ADHD, one is diabetic, two have had seizures,two have ASD, one has dyspraxia. I THINK that's it, I can't always remember. They ARE all Happy, Loved, loveable, noisy, "normal crazy" Teenagers ( Nat is 26 but might as well be a teen ;))

So like most siblings they dislike each other most of the time, unless I am cross with them all and then they all gang up on me.

So a normal day...well, I certainly need to be up early. Derek works nights so is only home on a Sunday morning. ( at least that's one less fighting for the bath room!) The morning has been planned down to the last detail. They get up at different times so that they all get my attention, time to use the bathroom, and get meds and dressed. One leaves at 7.15, then another at 8.10 , that leaves me 10 mins to get me sorted and get to work ( thankfully a minute away in the car). Nat's taxi arrives later for her placement.

I usually get to work ( not really sure what my job title is ..behavioural assistant? Pastoral care ? pupil support??) Anyway , I get there early ,i need a good car parking space so I can get out quickly (if I am needed or for when I go pick up Nat).

Parents always call before I get to log on to my PC :) Pupils pop in to ask questions, borrow uniform and remove make-up and hand in phones or iPads...iPADS!!! I know!!

Then the day begins at work..most of the things I do are confidential , my boss is one of the child protection officers. I LOVE my job. It is so busy though that I am lucky if I get chance to go to the loo before I go home. At least the day goes quickly.

When Nat and I get home , the others are waiting to tell me news, give me letters. I DO print out a weekly menu so that everyone knows what we are having for tea (very important when you have OCD) , It also means that I don't need to think about it and we buy just what we need.

The best bit of the day is when they have all gone to bed and I have another 20 mins to myself .

Just an ordinary Day

Good Things

Prompt three was a list of fav things. I have done that recently - Still loving Ben and Jerry's fairly nuts ice cream. Listening to Bruno Mars. So I thought I would talk about of some of my fav things from today.

Above is Derek on his new toy :) The poor old x-box is getting dusty. At least he has realised that there's so much more you can do than just play games on it ;). The table trolley, I assembled yesterday and told him that he could also use it as a zimmer frame ;)

Aren't these flowers beautiful? They arrived at work for me today from a parent.

We went to look around a special school that one of my children attended with the possibility of a shared placement for her child. Its SUCH a very difficult thing to do , try to deicide where your child with extra needs should be educated, especially when there are no local special schools. Only someone who has been in that situation can understand. I was very touched to receive these.

They definitely brightened my day.

These pretties arrived from HERE today, along with some others ;) I Love Jeans shop , If you want any, you have to be quick as they are selling so fast. I noticed that there are less on there today and I only ordered a day or so ago.

Other Lovely things from today include:

Hot coffee - brought to me by my boss after lunch ..sigh

Nat hoovering today - without being told.

Dan coming straight to me when he got in from college for a big bear hug :)

Meg actually doing art coursework (without me having to pay her - ok I lied about that one!)

A New book to read- given to me at work (so I didn't even buy it!)

Derek going shopping and remembering everything, he tried to buy me my fav ice cream but couldn't so got the next best thing -Hag an daz praline and cream...yummm.

Love soojay xx

catch up.

I WAS going to post yesterday but was halfway though a long post and gave up as I was interrupted too many times!

I was trying to explain what makes me happy and why. Going into all the details of how past life experiences have changed me almost beyond recognition. As I work in a high school, I am often reminded of how I used to be. Its hard not to laugh sometimes ( don't worry I wouldn't) when they tell me of the things that bother them. They used to bother me too - you know, how I look, who likes me,. what possessions I have.

At my youngest daughters age (almost 16), I too wanted it all. I was shy, uptight, good ,bossy, naive, materialistic and thought I knew it all. I wanted a handsome rich husband, big house and two children. I was going to be a beauty therapist ( I was for a while). My family would all sit around the dining table a chat politely over meal. No one shouted and certainly no one swore! Ha Ha.

Now my idea of heaven is a warm sunny day, a few moments of peace and quiet and if the children were to be nice to each other ( no ...that's asking too much!) If I go a day without swearing would be a minor miracle too ;)

The Blogging for scrap bookers prompt asked us to think about an event or special day to talk about. I suppose the event that sticks out for me was a few years ago when Derek and I went to a family wedding in Somerset. Derek's niece married the manager of a famous singer songwriter so it was a big affair and something I won't ever experience again. WE stayed here (which was fabulous) for two days and nights. We had the whole place to ourselves ( the wedding party that is) The food was to die for . The wedding perfect and even the singer attended and performed.

It was a lovely escape but the planning took quite some time as all three of the children had to be farmed out or go to respite care. I do remember how beautiful it all was and our suit was amazing..there was enough room for ten people in the shower ( no we didn't try it!!) and there was a tv in the bathroom on the wall.

Back later with prompt three

A New Class

To tell you the truth , i forgot that i had signed up to this. It was a little while ago before my other PC broke. It was a nice surprise to get Shimelle's email today :)

Anyway i have had a very quick read and taken a photo of my work space ( well one of them). I have a very messy desk behind me where i have left everything out from the weekend..if you pop over to my other blog, you will see that all i actually did was a card..but i played with new stamping ideas, inks and die cuts.

I am still in love with my PC . As you can see above, in honour of Spring ( here at last!!), i have adorable bunnies as my wallpaper for now. I am sure i will get bored soon but it will take a few weeks.

I spend far too long sitting here, blogging yes but mostly reading forums, social net work sites, hopping all over the internet not to mention shopping!

I do intend over the next few weeks to cut down on this a bit..my baking has taken a back seat , so i ought to do a little more of that. and a bit more scrapping instead of just thinking about it.

Ohh and a lot less shopping..i can't really afford it and ought to be saving up.

I need to get back to scrapping at least weekly , i can't remember that last time i did a layout!

Hopefully back tomorrow.

Sooooooooo Tired

Its been very busy at work and I have managed to catch a head cold. Most of the coughing and sneezing has stopped and I am just left with a pounding headache now.

On a better note...the sun is shining :) (at long last) hard to believe that it won't be long till we are out in the garden and wearing less layers.

Derek's laptop arrived last week and he loves it (probably more than his x-box!) I spent the evening the other night , downloading, installing, deleting all the software that he would need. I only need to network my printer and all is done.

Meg has decided that instead of a party , she now also wants a new laptop for her birthday!! ( only about 3 weeks away!) and she has started to save up for sims 3 ( the game that wouldn't work on her old one as the graphics card was not up to it).

Nat has asked for new luggage (she is going away to Butlins later) and a digital camera...i'd better get saving!!!

Have a great weekend.

My Shoes Arrived!

Yayy..They are lovely, very comfortable and make me an inch taller LOL! Very fast delivery too. I can highly recommend this store tREDs . The shoes I ordered were £80 in most stores but here were £30, there's savings on most brands so go look. Thanks to the lovely Tracie for the heads up on this .

Glad its the weekend as I was starting to wilt at work. After managing to not catch anything all winter ( and you have to remember that all the sick pupils have to come see me first before they go to med room - its amazing how many get sick just before a language or maths lesson! ;) ). I thought i was doing really well. I just have a sore throat and sniffles but I am also shattered. I intend to do very little this weekend except potter. Unfortunately there's loads of things I could have done including attending an all day crop with some of my fav people . Instead I'll keep my bugs to myself and hopefully be raring to go on Monday morning ( well up and dressed and facing the right direction anyway :) )

If anyone watched Ideal world this morning, they were selling my PC (below) - it sold out. I bought mine from Amazon UK for the same price ( just not with the four easy payment options but it did have free delivery ) I have to say I love it.

Right enough waffle from me -off to stuff as much washing as I can into the washing machine ( no not really its new and I am frightened of breaking it!) But with 5 of us , I shall spend quite a bit of the day filling it up!

Hi I Am Back

With this little beauty!! cept it has a wireless mouse and keyboard and is also a touch screen ...i am in love! :)

Its amazing how much time is spent using the PC, how much I depend on it. Three Email accounts ( four now!) Music, games, just typing stuff up and that's not even including shopping or scrapping :)

Derek has been hovering over this and wanting to use it, so we have given in and ordered him a laptop of his very own - so much more grown up than the x- box!!

Right, i shall turn off Bruno Mars ( my new Fav CD) and go cook tea.

Another quick update

I am So missing my PC..It doesn't help that it is half term so don't even have my work pc. My poor BIL is working so hard to try and backup my data to then see if he can fix it. I am thinking that i need a new one :(

I have looked at some beautiful ones but they seem to be all beauty and no substance. I have seen a nice one but can't afford it ATM so need to save up.

To update today. My pc seems to have died :( It is not easy typing on this thing as Meg has managed to lose four keys on this thing!!! We have no A, D or W they do still work but you need to press in just the right place..boy it does my head in! The A is the worst offender.

I am not getting my emails , so cannot continue with the photography challenge t the mo..i will catch up if i can later.

Not sure when i will be back to update again ..hopefully soon

Love Soojay xxx

Catch up again.

First I am sorry these are rubbish photos( must try harder!!) This is NO5. What you "love to hate" about them. This is Derek's X-box..not only does it eat away hours at a time of his life, his language is foul while he is playing AND you can see how he leaves it !! Most weekend mornings i wake to find leads trailing over the living room floor.

NO. 4 - Is also about Derek. ( sorry another rubbish photo taken quickly before work). Derek has at least 100 Rugby shirts..they are everywhere!! He even has a couple that are still in packaging, as they are "limited editions!!" He is truly a fruit bat about these and is ALWAYS on the look out for a new one. In fact he has one on pre order coming later this month and at an average of £50-60 or £20-30 (in the sales) , it's NOT a cheap hobby!

Had a rubbish day yesterday as I had planned a quiet day crafting and pottering about after a manic week at work. No...................................Megan managed to snap her spare specs on Friday night :( She broke the others a couple of weeks ago, sitting on them. I phoned the local opticians for a new frame. They wouldn't as she was overdue with eye sight test and they were too busy to fit her in and wouldn't even give her the same frames and book an appointment to suit them. In the meantime, Megan ( still a child as she is under 16) can't see!! So, we had to go to Norwich where they could fit her in, do the sight test and get a pair made up straight away. Megan was in a foul mood the whole day. ONLY wanted the exact frames, asked about contacts , so we had to listen to the complete sales talk, then changed her mind :) In the end ( and only £80 worse off) we had two pairs of specs ( one still need picking up later in week- i will NOT be going!!)

I had thought we would make the most of the day by looking around the shops......no grumpy drawers didn't want to. Derek managed to have some fun and had his feet nibbled by fish (wish he had photographed it!) and get some new converse boots.

After getting shopping in Tesco on the way home i was ready to shoot myself !!

Here's to a peaceful ,productive Sunday :)

Day 3

Then and Now .. Then was when Megan was 5 years old just after she was diagnosed with diabetes. What a cutie!

Now...almost 16 ..much harder to get a smile from her. Red Hair and like me, needing specs all the time now.

Back tomorrow

Day Two

Today the photo challenge was to take a picture of "How they Look" LOL!! Megan in the morning before school. As far as she is concerned, this is the most important bit of her "uniform".

She often keeps her poor taxi driver waiting !!.

I have persuaded her to get dressed first and leave this bit till last!
