Maybe not everybodies

idea of a great Bank Holiday but a day relaxing doing not a lot works for me.

Watched 'The Holiday' with Hannah this afternoon and after quite a bit of discussion watched The Green Mile, this evening. Boy is it a good film although I had forgotten how long it is and yes I did need the tissues.

Mission accomplished

- all GoGo LOs and cards completed, photographed and uploaded. Here's a couple from Septembers Seasonal Soiree kit that I've been working with.

When people move on it makes me sad, even knowing it's what they want and maybe even what they need, does that make me selfish?

The last saturday of the month

means only one thing - Wyverstone Crop :) As normal I had a great day, only one down side, the day always goes in too quickly.

Having gone to bed at silly o'clock

the morning arrived too soon.

Bathroom is looking good but requires another 1/2 days work to call it job done.

The stress, nerves, excitement

and ultimate relief of results day have come and gone. Hannah did well and is one happy girl. The biggest whoop was for the B in Maths a subject that she's always struggled with. Proud doesn't even come close to how we're feeling right now.

So now our house is once more at peace, well apart from the plumbers who've been clattering around the place today. 

Had the shock of my life today

when I went to buy tiles. Do you know how much they wanted,  £15 square metre!!!!!!  Needless to say I came away empty handed and will be tile hunting tomorrow.

It's GCSE results day tomorrow and Hannah's a bag of nerves. She says it's the waiting that's the worst bit, roll on tomorrow and whatever happens we'll know and can sort it.

In my living room

I have a toilet pan, cistern, basin and pedestal. Oh and some taps. All exciting stuff as we have the plumber coming on Thursday to sort out our en suite bathroom, so they won't be the living room long.

I do have to get tiles tomorrow, mustn't forget.

I'm happy to report

that Hannah had a fab time at the beach yesterday. She did remember the sun cream apart from her ears and nose which are both a little pink today.

I had hoped to get some scrapping done this evening but I've pulled some muscles in my back, not serious I think but uncomfortable. I have GoGo deadline looming so hoping it settles soon.

What I did manage was a gentle walk with Jon, Hannah and the hounds this evening but boy is it getting dark a lot earlier theses days!

Today is more than hot enough

to send any pale skinned peeps running for shelter and that's exactly what I'm doing. I may indulge in a little cutting and sticking later.

Hannah on the other hand has packed her bags and head off to the beach with friends. I hope that she remembers to slap on the sun cream.

I had to be up at 6 am

and I don't do mornings!
But a day spent with the GoGo girls made the early morning worth while.

I got a flyer today

and was home by 2 pm, which pleased Hannah.

I was chuffed because I also manage to get rid of the boxes and bags of old clothes that have been cluttering the boot of my car to the charity shop.

Hannah & I took our seats to see

'The Time Travelers Wife' with about a minute to spare. Having read the book I was prepared to be disappointed but the film followed the book enough to be a winner in my books. Of course like when I read the book it had me crying at the end.

It may have taken 9 years

and many discussions between Jon & I along the lines of I want one and he can't see the need but thanks to my Dad I now have a door to my en suite bathroom. The original was  removed by the previous owners for reasons best known to themselves.
