Harlow Night Out!

The weekend arrived .... even though the train didn't want to (an hour late tut!)


Anyway better late than never as they say. So on eventually getting back to mine around 10pm we had food and then blasted out a few tunes on the karaoke - well everyone but Kae that is!!!

After all of 3 hours sleep (going to bed at 3am and getting up at 6am with babies - oh what joy!) we pottered around abit and then we headed off the pub for a pre lunch drinky :)

Back at mine we lit the BBQ and burnt a sausage or two:




then drank a few bottles of Bucks Fizz and then decided it was time to hit the town!!

A few pre-night out photos (because you have to!)

Always stay safe when your out is what I was always told ....... so we made sure we were very safe!!

As the drink kicked in it got harder to take photos where you actually see us or that weren't blurred!!

But we managed a few of course! :)

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!!

24 hours to go - there's only 24 hours to go!! (sing it! lol)

Well this time tomorrow I'll be jumping in my car to go and pick up Kae and her little darlings :)

So looking forward to this weekend it is just what I need to boost my spirits - girlie chats, drink and hangovers!! Yey!

Been shopping and my fridge is bursting at the seams - mostly with alcohol but hey! :)

Get ready for the photos - cause there's gonna be alot!!!

HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO FILTHY?!

As a few of you already know the apartment we rented out got completly trashed by the tennant living there. At the moment I'm spending every evening there to re-decorate it to try and get it in a decent condition to sell.



This was our apartment when we let it out:

Here's some photo's of how the filthy lady left it! It was only her and her baby that lived there.

(But Im guessing she had a bloke to - unless she was into Big Fat Momma's Take It All 1 and 2)

The nice expensive carpet:

The wrecked cooker:









The Walls:







All the walls in every room looked like this (and yes that is human poo!!) :








This was the brand new sofa bed I put in:



I didn't get a photo of the beds as I didnt want to touch them!! There is loads of other damage too, like broken plug sockets, ciggy burns in the bathroom suite, broken window frames, broken kitchen units, holes in the doors. The list goes on!!

When I initially turned up there you could not physically walk around as the floor was completly piled up with papers, toys, clothes - when i say piled up i'm talking waist height and higher!!!

How can people have no pride in the way live?? You can't even call them animals as animals live cleaner than this!!!

Anyway after blood, sweat and alot of tears this is the stage I'm at now, just got one more bedroom and finishing of the other bedroom and then I think we can say it's ready!!


The Lounge:








The Main Bedroom:

Not brilliant photos as took them on my phone but hopefully you get the idea :)

HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I know I haven't been around for a while, but I'm back on the up and things can only get better ay?!


Soooo looking forward to next weekend as remember my night out in Manchester - yes the excess booze, badly bruised knee and broken toe?? Well it's time to return the favour and Kae is coming to Essex!! It's going to be fab!!


Watch this space on the 9th to see what we ended up getting up to ... hehe!!

YES YES you can see it in the background!! Ok so not a good photo but I bumped into Brian May in Tesco's petrol station so got a quick snap when he got back into his car!!

Saturday Night!

Ok you remember me saying 2 weeks ago that I was NEVER EVER EVER drinking again

well I did!!

And yes I'm now saying: I'M NEVER EVER DRINKING AGAIN!!

It was Daisy's birthday as you know, so the drinking started at 1pm when guests started to arrive .... this continued till 7pm

then ........ we had Adrian & Karen's 15th Wedding Anniversary party to go to!

I was led astray of course and drank far to much!

and killed the karoke machine AGAIN!!

And yes .... here's the photo's to prove it ....

Karen, Adrian & Meeeee


Sheila, me and Daisy on the Karoke - as you can see Daisy is very impressed!!!

WINDOW - An opening in a buildings filled with glass. Show us a window in your space today.

This was a hard one today as no interesting windows around here! So took a photo of my cats favorite place to sit - on the window sill looking in.

HS:MS - 14.04.08

A small pool of water. Find a puddle in your space today.

Or in this case a big pool of water!
It's lovely and sunny so the only puddle is the duck pond!

I was quite please with this photo as I was holding the pushchair in one hand to stop it rolling down the hill into the pond, and in the other hand I had the camera with Leo on his reins hooked over my arm pulling in the opposite direction so not the steadiest photo!

(BTW - Kae these are THE ducks!)

MONDAY'S LYRICS

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

For the break that will make it ok

There's always some reason to feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction,

oh beautiful release

Memories seep from my veins

They may be empty and weightless,

and maybe I'll find some peace tonight

Arms Of An Angel - Sarah McLachlan

This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it, it's so beautiful ....

MONDAY'S QUOTE

Not all scars show, not all wounds heal
Sometimes you can't always see
The pain someone feels

SUNDAY'S QUOTE

Do you believe me or your own eyes .....

Those of you that know me know I'm a bit of a rock chick and that I can play the drums - do you think my 2 year old son is showing promising signs??

(sorry that you have to turn your head to one side!!)

SATURDAY'S QUOTE

After my recent "naughty girl" quotes I thought I would put one up today that's more thought inspiring ...

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

LMAO!!

Go and visit Burnsy's video from Saturday night - sorry guys I am classy really!!!

Don't you just love what drink does!! hehe!
