Have we all put out heating on yet? It is getting rather cold down here now But the sun is still shining too so we mustn't complain must we lol. </div><div><br /></div><div> Firstly I would like to say a rather belated thank you to<a href="http://bekisbloggybits.blogspot.com/"> Beki</a>.

A nice selection of fabric scraps to play with and a quarter of CK boats fabric. A quilting magazine which I Have never seen before, can't wait to take a look through it (I'm hoping that now river's at school full time I might get a bit more time to do these things lol), a yummy little scrapbooking kit which I know somebody had his eye on so I've had to hide that just now And well I was sure there was a bar of chocolate in there somewhere but hmmmmm I wonder where that's gone hahaha :-) </div><div> So Thanks again beki I hope you loved your parcel as much as I loved yours. </div><div><br /></div><div> Ok so a quick baby update.

Did we manage to survive the summer holidays and settle back into the dreaded routine ok ? ( yes I just know were all shaking our heads at that one hehehe).</div><div><br /></div><div> Well as you could probably tell from my last post I have been going through a rather " uppy downy" phase at the moment a kind of an emotional roller coaster if you will. I know some of you will be nodding your heads and totally understand what I'm dribbling on about and if you don't then sorry you'll just have to bear with me a little while longer lol.</div><div> </div><div> A few major things have happened over the last few months that have made me stop in my tracks and really think about where I'm headed in life. Although I'm not usually one to be sharing these sort of things on my blog I just feel like I need to kinda get this off my chest a bit. </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div> The end of July saw my baby boy graduating from pre-school. I must say I was really sorry to see him leave. They had been soooo kind to us during his two years there and had put in and endless amount of work to meet River's needs and for that I thank them very much. This is then followed by his long awaited two week trip to granny's. I must say I was looking forward to this as much as he was. A nice break with some peace and quiet hmmmmm Not quite so because you see once he had gone I really did find myself rather lost. We had never been apart for so long. Our home had never been this quiet or this tidy lol. These feelings were made worse when I received the news that my nan had suffered yet another stroke and wasn't expected to make it through the next 24 hours, shortly followed by another call to say that she had passed away. Unfortunately living away from home and being unable to drive meant that I didn't get to say goodbye. It was then that I realised Hey life is too short and fragile to be moping around surely there are other things I can look forward to. Hmmmmm in a weeks time river was coming home and we were booked up to go off on our summer holiday. With lot's of day's out planned, trips to the beach yeah !!!!!!! </div><div> But no a phone call to say that nan's funeral had been booked smack bang in the middle of our holiday, two hours in the opposite direction of our holiday destination meant that all of our plans had to be abandoned. Poor old hubby in an effort to salvage something managed to get us booked onto a camp site near where my family live. So off we went trying to be cheerful if not for anything other than river's sake and do you know what ........ It tipped it down with rain the whole time we were there. we honestly got to the point where we just wanted to come home, and that we did. We stayed long enough for me to be able to go to the funeral and then came home the next day. </div><div> Hmmmmmmmmm Do you ever feel like you do nothing but moan lol I know I do !!!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div> Well to say that I was soooo glad to be home, sooo glad to have my little family back all together again was just a bit of an understatement and to be honest I couldn't wait for the holiday's to end. couldn't wait to regain some sort of normality in life lol. </div><div><br /></div><div> So into September now and things are moving forward. River has started primary school and I really didn't mind at all. I knew he was more than ready for it the question was were they ready for him lol. Unfortunately the answer to that seems to be no. after-all if you ask a child to sit and learn things that he was already able to do over a year ago, do you not expect that child to become frustrated and somewhat angry !!!!!!!!! we have a meeting with his teacher on Monday so hopefully we can tell her yet again that giving a child a stage 1 reading book when he's already on stage 4 is really not going to cut it for him lol. But I am very hopeful that we can get it all sorted out in the end. </div><div> </div><div> And on a slightly happier note. Last week hubby river and I went on a little family outing. Nope we didn't go to the beach or the cinema of the park . We went to he hospital !!!!!!!!!!! </div><div><br /></div><div> Ok so I know I've got loads of you who aren't already in the know very puzzled in deed so I'll let you in on my little ( although not so little any more ) secret. We actually went for our first scan so week could all meet .......</div><div> </div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPQyGfvojHN_rRFzdFi4Z_fJM7sbZNFNDJdnJ_EdgsdFvYKKYsfWau9d1gdq8aw-uJNCVHkUTr4JQv3fXadAf06S2DFOhTOSKqcBzSici3ML4OWYQ60ZIUQZ1QqzcFgO36whTBBahpxw/s1600/babyscan3.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPQyGfvojHN_rRFzdFi4Z_fJM7sbZNFNDJdnJ_EdgsdFvYKKYsfWau9d1gdq8aw-uJNCVHkUTr4JQv3fXadAf06S2DFOhTOSKqcBzSici3ML4OWYQ60ZIUQZ1QqzcFgO36whTBBahpxw/s320/babyscan3.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518016502989029762" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> ...... the new addition to our little family.

That's the one ....... Well a couple of months ago now she decided that she wanted to be a mummy. So Hubby and I ( being very unprepared for this ) took a trip back to the chicken breeder and asked him for some advice. An hour or so later we found ourselves armed with a broody coop ( in the form of a rabbit hutch <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span></span>) and 8 fertile eggs!!!! So we slipped the egg's under Kate and crossed our fingers <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lol</span></span>. Over the next few day's Poor Kate managed to break 4 of the egg's but sat tight on the other 4 quite happily for the next 21 day's.</div><div> So anyway to cut a long story short two of the remaining egg's turned out to be infertile, one tried to hatch but sadly didn't win the fight and well ....

How are we all? Did you all have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year? Yes, yes, I know, we are three quarters of the way through January and I've only just got round to speaking to you all but all will be revealed very soon I promise.<br /></div><br /><div>Well for me the end of 2009 bought with it Lot's of depressed feelings and the feeling of being well kinda "stuck", you know that "same shit, different day" kinda feeling when you get stuck into a routine where your not particularly happy or contented but you carry on regardless because..... well.... that's just the way things are (Am I making sense or am I the only one who gets like this lol). So over the last few week's I have been doing a lot of thinking about how to pull myself out of it and decided to try and shake things up a little, make some changes and maybe set myself a few challenges along the way.<br />So What have I actually done about it? I hear you ask. Well yesterday saw me start my new voluntary job at river's pre school. It's just one day a week (Thursdays) doing art's and crafts with the children. It gets me out of the house and besides, getting covered in paint and being called river's mummy all day ain't that bad hehehe.<br />Last night Hubby and I called in a neighbour to babysit ( something we never do ) and headed out to<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6t47YIxprVafVe34HSb4c6xhEoaji8xHdn7xeFoBiU1rwuDXYbu71L9amlSmZVUXPR8gvULmwFwaIchZIA1TCIXx-Hju-2rKwCbjYy5LQJAuM44rJnaoxfQkHTZi-geTKksnc1woLy5I/s1600-h/axminster_title.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429689435146237442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 66px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6t47YIxprVafVe34HSb4c6xhEoaji8xHdn7xeFoBiU1rwuDXYbu71L9amlSmZVUXPR8gvULmwFwaIchZIA1TCIXx-Hju-2rKwCbjYy5LQJAuM44rJnaoxfQkHTZi-geTKksnc1woLy5I/s320/axminster_title.png" border="0" /></a><br />Where the man himself was cooking and indeed serving a rather delicious stew. </p><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:78%;">( so delicious that hubby just had to go back and try the vegetarian option too hehehe)</span></p><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj358ncW9U3RjhVgx64dM89YhK2YCuh7G2jXY0jOfiMY_ACeZAOwoWeWn9lGoY8Ha3dfzhGEUoAsgLNvlpduO2h45nIRf8O5oy1DX70ovwwnhSMDGeK8G1wNDfaW6woVYBmj4U7R9V5dC8/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429690180638237458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj358ncW9U3RjhVgx64dM89YhK2YCuh7G2jXY0jOfiMY_ACeZAOwoWeWn9lGoY8Ha3dfzhGEUoAsgLNvlpduO2h45nIRf8O5oy1DX70ovwwnhSMDGeK8G1wNDfaW6woVYBmj4U7R9V5dC8/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a> We also picked up a copy of this whilst we were there ............<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT6hIn2Q26BzHuCzX85ZuiHX_V95uBMjXoeAZeA16UnKtysyzvxo1q-HcUnUu2SVsRmEcurX4rB_izQmlGt_FBJZyrv4C_HRofV1n1v2NrfH8-KAnTfqaUV83MF6FAclopgl0_1lzaHb8/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429691270935549122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 104px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 118px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT6hIn2Q26BzHuCzX85ZuiHX_V95uBMjXoeAZeA16UnKtysyzvxo1q-HcUnUu2SVsRmEcurX4rB_izQmlGt_FBJZyrv4C_HRofV1n1v2NrfH8-KAnTfqaUV83MF6FAclopgl0_1lzaHb8/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a> and me being the shy kinda girl that I am, sent hubby up to ask Hugh to sign it and this is what he came back with.......<br /><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcRqORFC85WSM1fdJEDDXtSa2YyEgQR-JNprl5vzXATb_sW0z4EoO4tIgHWDnujOfVoV6xa0vwgpWWC8n9buFMj2jqAuXQS7RAnS5CpLZfwKdz_k_33pnXKD7esIb0g_saJD1sBuPFTc/s1600-h/20100122_9.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429693768302288354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcRqORFC85WSM1fdJEDDXtSa2YyEgQR-JNprl5vzXATb_sW0z4EoO4tIgHWDnujOfVoV6xa0vwgpWWC8n9buFMj2jqAuXQS7RAnS5CpLZfwKdz_k_33pnXKD7esIb0g_saJD1sBuPFTc/s320/20100122_9.JPG" border="0" /></a> Those of you that know hubby and I well will know that hubby is the cook in our house. I can bake, if you want cake's, cookies or bread I'm your girl but I'm afraid if you want a decent meal then you'll have to turn to hubby lol. So Yes you've guessed it I have been inspired to TRY and be a bit more adventurous in the kitchen and fingers crossed produce and edible meal of two along the way lol. </p><p> I'm also considering a couple of crafty challenges too but I haven't quite decided on that yet. Maybe a granny a day/ Try something new ? Not sure yet I'll keep you posted on that one. </p><p> OK so are you all still with me? still awake ? Yep .... well done .... only a bit more to go, I promise.</p><p> So after talking to a certain <a href="http://themiddlestsister.blogspot.com/">lovely lady </a>from across the pond I discovered that although I have a blog full of pictures of this and that, my blog doesn't actually tell you guy's anything about <span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>ME</strong> </span><span style="font-size:100%;"> So I'm gonna make a few changes here too ( if that's OK with you guy's) My blog is currently all about the things that I have made with a few extra bit's chucked in so what about a bit more of the real stuff. River and I are always doing something or other so what about showing you a bit more of what he's made or where we've been and how about showing you a bit more of where we live. So how about it guy's let's have some idea's here what would you like to see on my little old blog???? I'd be interested to know what you think.</span></p><p> </p><p> OK so I think I'll leave it there just know I will try my best to blog again over the weekend.

I did survive my two day's crafting at pre-school last week only to be asked to do it all again this week ( why can't I just say no lol). So this week we will be making Christmas party hat's and next week I'll have the honour of making the cake's and mince pie's for the pre-school nativity play.<br />Anyway The reason I'm here is to bore you all with a couple of holiday snaps .........<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3aZXrBsyq66XNMPLpt3UBeR19Z8X0gZgjXtHul0uPk8R1-l9Xj-FxsYq2ieUCijx_R_ouCozwekyJnXRoqJIDSkH0g5MdUGLp3xnE7UcuqbhkxwkxacD6B4l5YdaLqEVYhC4VMsIYnMQ/s1600-h/20091208_3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412961937608818162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3aZXrBsyq66XNMPLpt3UBeR19Z8X0gZgjXtHul0uPk8R1-l9Xj-FxsYq2ieUCijx_R_ouCozwekyJnXRoqJIDSkH0g5MdUGLp3xnE7UcuqbhkxwkxacD6B4l5YdaLqEVYhC4VMsIYnMQ/s320/20091208_3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />The view from our hotel balcony on Monday morning.
