Finally got some new layouts created today. I bought two new kits yesterday We are family a charity collaboration kit by Geek Chic Scraps, Litabells Designs, simply.scraps, Connie Prince, Lauren Grier, Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Jennifer Fox, Sir Scrapalot, and Nikki Epperson to benefit Sally Bouley (KyRainbow) and her fight with cancer. This is the LO I created using the kit.
I was so pleased this page got choose for a gallery stand-out by pepsibubbles over in the Gotta Pixel forum, I love when I get a gallery stand-out. It makes me feel that my hard work is appreciated. So thank you pepsibubbles.
Its my birthday tomorrow :) going to be the grand old age of 29, another year closer to the big 30. I've got no plans for my birthday, probably just have a lazy day in the house with my son. Got a few cards to open which will be nice. Today has been spent doing housework and arguing with my son. He had a answer to everything today, I stood and thought to myself i'm arguing with a 6 yr old and he's wining lol. Gave up in the end and ignored him, after 20mins of grizzling he gave in and apologised. Stroll on back to school time. I finally got my letter through about my student funding :) cant wait to enrol on the 26rd aug now. Start looking for a decent digital SLR camera now. Its all a bit overwhelming as not sure which make, model to buy. A lot of people have recommended the Olympus E series, but i'm a fan of Canon. Which is what my basic camera is. Will have to have a good shop around and see what's about.
Right off to bed now, as im sure I will be awake bright and early. Even though it will be my birthday I doubt my son will let me have a lie in.
I haven't got any LOs created today, due to lack of concentration. I've been suffering with a bad back on and off since just after Christmas. At the time my doctor told me I had a trapped nerve, and prescribed diazepam and pain killers. After about two weeks my back was better, but has not been completely right ever since. Well I've gone from having lower back pain to a really horrible burning pain in my neck. I visited the doctors today and she told me that its tension or something, she's prescribed pain killers and referred me for physiotherapy. But unfortunately there is a 6-8 week waiting list for physiotherapy :( So its looks like I'm just going to have to put up with the pain for a bit longer. Luckily the painkillers do help. So today has been spent cleaning my house, doing the washing, which has now turned into a mountain of ironing and relaxing in front of the TV. I found a great group on facebook how to photograph your baby you get help and hints on how to edit your photographs. Right I'm off to take some painkillers and try and get some sleep. Night
I haven't actually had time to get any LOs created this weekend, life actually took over for once. Saturday was spent rushing around, firstly had to take my son to his swimming lesson. He is slowly learning to swim, he is booked in on some beginner intensive lessons on 9Th Aug which I'm hoping will help him improve. He was disappointed this weekend though as he was supposed to get his certificate, but it wasn't ready. Told him we will collect it when he goes for his next lot of lessons, fingers crossed it will be done by then. Then I had to take Callum over to his dads, he's staying with him till tomorrow. I had to rush back then to go to my hairdressers appointment, had a family party to go to on Saturday night. Had a fantastic time at the party and only spent £5 fantastic night all round lol.

| Me before my night out |
I woke up late today and had no plans at all, was going to spend the day being lazy and watching tv. But my sister called and asked if I wanted to go to the Big Cheese Festival, which is a large event with craft stalls, funfair, live music etc. So that is were I have spent this afternoon. Had a good afternoon watching my nephew enjoy the funfair, eating waffles, drinking coffee and sampling some Welsh Liqueurs :) The coffee was delicious, bought a small jar of hazelnut coffee, wish I'd bought some more. But definitely going to be ordering some more off the company's website, Jaccs Coffee. The liqueurs were rather nice as well they were from Condessa Welsh Liqueurs.
Had a rather quiet evening, just been watching TV and browsing the net. Been having network problems this evening though, so trying to establish a internet connection has been a nightmare. Telephoned Orange and was informed that the telephones masts in the area aren't working properly. So basically got to put up with the problems until its fixed. Finally connected long enough to update my blog. Just going to chill in front of the television now and watch Sherlock Holmes and drink my coffee.
