Happy Easter

Woke up this Easter morning and thought someone had stole my back and left some extra nerves in my back. Wowzer haven't had a really sore back like this for ages , doesn't help that i have the cold as well. I can feel every cough. Bummer!!

Anyways Mum and Dad and Kate( i think ) are coming for tea, Conor helped me go shopping , (thanks Connor), I wouldn't have managed otherwise. When we came home Callum offered to help with some of the preparation (thanks Callum) and ended up browning all the steak and sausages ready for the slow cook. I took some pics and will add them later.

I think we may have a Jamie Oliver in the making

Happy Easter to everyone!

Finally persuaded Kyle to get his hair cut !!

Have been trying to get Kyle to gethis hair cut he is 4 and "loves his curls". Secretly so does mummy. Anyway thought as he is starting school in august we should try and get him used to going to the barbers.

He was none too please and took a lot of persuading to get it done, thanks to Kathy , we got there in the end. First stared off sitting on my knee then finally progressed to the chair woohoooo result!

See the before and after pics below. He doe love his new hair and was even excited to find out it had changed colour (LOL :) not really long it was fair and when it is short it is light brown)

Well done Kyle , Mummy is really proud of you , you look a proper wee man now.

Bowling !!!

My sister is visiting from down south , so we decided as a birthday treat to take the families bowling.
All the kids were really excited including my younger sister who is 24 by the way :). we popped into McDonalds and had something to eat first , then headed across to the bowling.
We had 2 lanes booked to play 2 games.

First mishap , we were given two lanes next to each other, one had finished and one was still to finish. So we started the kids on the empty lane and then proceeded to wait 20 minutes, the other lane was still not finished. We were moved to another lane again same story one lane finished , one lane to finish. Eventually managed to get started and everyone was having a great time.

Bowling alleys are quite noisy what with the bowling and the music , and about 20 minutes into our game we heard a muffled announcement and managed to pick out the words "Fire Exit". My sister went to check and sure enough we all had to make our way to the nearest fire exit. We then waited another 15 minutes outside in the cold , with no explanation and no sign of a fire, to be told we had to hand our bowling shoes back in and that the place was closed. So that was our eventful bowling night.

My sister has to go today and see about a refund, here's hoping shes successful.

Black and White Cat 17.02.09

Thought I should post a motivating update of my black and white cat. I have just purchased a new stitching stand and am slowly getting it set up around me , how did i ever manage without one :)
Now to save up the pennies for a proper light , I have portable one but can't get it close enough.
