Maybe

not the best start to the day but once my headache cleared I was able to enjoy the rest of the day, well what was left of it and that included a little cutting and sticking.

My JYC is still in the form of journaling in my notebook, not how I envisioned it but I am keeping up and exploring my feelings around each of the prompts. I may have a go at creating some scrapbooking pages tomorrow but that's really the 'icing on the cake'

I hate days

when I wake with a killer headache, makes me cranky, moody and altogether not a particularly pleasant person to be with.
Hope to stift this one soon.

Santa was at

Joshua and Matthew's school Christmas fair so after all the children had seen him, I thought a little cuddle up with the big guy was in order and like many of the children it was recorded for posterity but Hazel 'official' photographer. Sadly the assistant was MIA mainly cause she was frivolously in front of the camera!!!

I'm well chuffed,

I managed to cross off everything on my to do list plus a few extras as well

• Get rid of the scrap cardboard boxes to the dump.
  
• Bag up and take to the charity shop clothes that I've been dithering about whether I should keep or not.
  
• Clean out all the craft stuff I'd like to re home from my working area. Wonder what's the best way of re homing it?
  
• Tidy up my work area
  
• Sort out this week's menu and go do the boring weekly Sainsburys shop. Mustn't forget to get a little birthday cake as we're belatedly celebrating Dads birthday this afternoon/evening.
  
• Journal for day 3 of JYC 09.

Plus I cooked Bacon Garganelli with Sweet Roasted Squash for tea that went down a storm with everyone, the recipe's here. Unfortunately I forgot the cake but dad was made up with the apple crumble I made. So it was smiles all round.

Today

Right best get back to it then.

The 'Her' in the

Her, Him, Me and a Little Scrapbooking is DD Hannah who I have to say drives me crazy at times, I know, I know she's a teenager! Having said that in actual fact I think she's amazing.

Yesterday was college parents evening for us and although we were only able to see a couple of her teachers the reports at interview and in her written report were glowing.

Her diligence and hard work will hopefully take her as far as she wants to go, certainly her achievement to date have exceeded all my expectations

JYC 09

it all starts today. Oh and the serious business of getting ready for Christmas.
