its been a while!

pinch and a punch for the 1st of the month!.

yes i know its been a while....i wasnt sure i had much to say and i would like to move to another blog host, but dont know which one, so til then, theres not much going on here!.

so it comes down to this....the last night in 335.

i was kinda hoping for a quiet night to reflect and think back over the past 3yrs 1 mth, but due to the hold up with the removal men, i shall instead be running round like a headless chook....with wet hair trying to get as much crossed off the to-do list as possible, so i can be away from here at a reasonable time tomorrow.

todays prompt for JYC is about weather, so i'm going to do something about hot and cold xmases....not sure what yet....will ponder in the bath in a wee while!.

with moving out tomorrow i'm not sure how often i'll be able to update yet, but will do as much as possible.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE XX

that kick worked Emma.......

having said they would turn up at 4pm, they rung at 1345 and said they'd be here at 1430!!. hooray!!.....my life is now in storage!. am a bit panicky about being finished by wed, but know i'll get there in the end. got the kidlets all day here tomorrow, so will put them to good use....duster and cloth at the ready....nothing like a bit of child labour!!.

visted my mate Ann today in her sick bed.....ouch, it hurts to watch her move. she was in good spirits and has her wonderfull hubby home this week to help out. Bless him, he even made me a cup of tea....i havent had tea there since......oooh....cant remember the date, but do remember the maker ;-).

1st Dec today and the prompt for JYC is to write a dedication for your album. i shall work on that shortly, just writing down the words, and will do the page on saturday at the crop. have decided to do a dedication page and then a 1st dec page, since my stuff went today...so have photos of a flat full of boxes, and will photograph it in the light tomorrow virtually empty!. have had a sneaky peak at Anns journal and its gorgeous as per normal...shes such a talented lady!.

right, off to run a hot bath and soak this weary body, then settle down for an evening of JYC inspiration!.

good things and bad things.....

first the good.....i made the cover for my 'Journal your Christmas' last night whilst babysitting and am thrilled with it today....was a bit unsure last night, but happy today!. the colours are better in real life...i had to play round a bit to try and not get loads of reflections on the overlay.
am seriously thinking of taking it away with me now to do as and when i can, and am also thinking of taking my laptop, so i can sort the photos whilst i'm away also...will ponder that some more...never travelled with my laptop before!.
JYC starts tomorrow....cant wait to read the 1st prompt and make notes.....roll on next saturday when i can sit down and do some more!!.

now the bad news.....the sodding removal men cancelled me today, cos the job before mine was longer than expected. so now they are coming at 4pm tomorrow....has really set me back....tomorrow was cleaning the flat time, so now i'll have to work round the boxes and try and catch up on tuesday when one of the kids is here in the morning. (insert loads of rude words!).

4 nights left in this flat.

i've begun the major pack up today.....i have 2 men and a van arriving tomorrow to take all the 2 people/heavy stuff to storage, so have been busily packing everything up so they can cram the van as full as possible and save me some runs!. when i moved here 3 yrs ago it all fitted into a transit van, so i'm hopefull alot of stuff can go tomorrow.
am taking a break to watch the rugby.....wales v oz on tv, and all blacks v england on an online match tracker!. after 1/2hr both oz and nz are leading their games!.

am all excited about doing the JYC, and have finally nailed down the album, so am happy about that.....just want to sit and cut pages now, but i cant til next week!!.

am being disconnected on wed, but will check in from time to time and will check emails as much as poss.

oh!, and 3 wks today, i'll be getting ready to head to australia....i leave around 10pm sat 20th.

isnt it always the way.....

my mojo has come home and i cant scrap yet!!. i have another week to get shifted out of the flat and cant even begin to break out the stash, so i just have to sit and look at the bag and wish!.
i have bagged up stash for Shimelles 'Journal your Christmas', along with tools and my folding table, and plan on taking the lot with me to stay with LM, and to the hotel i plan on staying in, in 3 wks time when i go have some hermit time!.
cant wait for the prompts to come and get started on this journal....theres alot to record this dec/jan.

4wks tomorrow i see my parents again, after 2 yrs!.
am beginning to get all excited now!.

i feel a one year on post should be the order of the day.....

'cept i havent thought much about it yet....will mull it over and post tomorrow or monday.

think i will shelve the new blog til the new year, but have had lots of feedback on the idea, so will still do it once in the new flat!.

a week late, but a huge hug and thanks to my mates Ann and Ally for taking my to see Joseph.....it was just brilliant....i had no idea the Elvis lived in the time of the Pharoes(or however you spell it!)
will get the photos off the camera and post some as well!.
