Photographs

Last week I had a new laptop brought for me - no not another present to myself and it has prompted me to start tidying up my photographs on my old one. My youngest is after my old laptop so he has been pestering me too hurry up. I was amazed at haw many photograph I have stored and have never had them printed off. I also found I had the same photograph stored twice sometimes three times! It hasn't taken me too long - still have some photgraphs stored on an external hardrive and main PC but these are probably copies of the ones I have on my laptop so will get round too them soon. It has also helped me thinking about my scrapbooking as I have found lots of photgraphs I could use for Georgia and Alfie's scrapbook. I will need to get some photographs printed off.

Hopefully next week I will be able to start on them.

Buying Furniture for Turkey

I am going away today with my sister Liz to Turkey to buy furniture for our house.

It is all very exciting and hubby has given me free reign to buy anything I like, what a fantastic gift that is have a huge list and hope there will be enough money to buy everything.

I am back on Sunday so will update then unless I can find an internet cafe in Altinkum

Sharing a Skill -flower arranging

The nice thing about this target is that the sharing is both ways. Met up with two good friends today to learn what to do with tulips. Was a bit worried would be rubbish at this but luckily Diane is a good teacher and brought along everything we needed to make a lovely display.
Must learn how to put photos onto this blog so you can see our lovely creations.
It really is an interesting passtime and might give it another go soon even if only re-using the display elements for the tulips.

Had a lovely lunch supplied by Phillipa and then went home for an afternoon nap, a lovely morning

Bra fitting

I cannot remember the last time I was fitted for a bra if indeed I ever have been. I went last week to Marks and Spencer to be fitted.

More Flowers in the Garden 2

It's Mothers Day today so Happy Mothers Day to you all.

For Mothers Day I got some gladioli bulds and also a clever packet of seeds called the Red Garden full of well seeds for red plants. Apparently you just have to sprinkle them like magic fairy dust and lots of lovely red flowers will come up all summer. Just need to get somone to plant the gladioli bulbs all 45 of 'em. now Ellen bought them so.... ELLEN

Also got two lovely Dragon trees for conservatory as have managed to kill my maidenhead fern and another soft leafy plant that was in there. Maybe too cold in the winter for them.

Write a short story and send it to a magazine

I realise that I have kind of completed this because I wrote an article about the 101 challenge and sent it to my local fibro group. It has already been published on their website and will be in the next newsletter.

www.fms-sas.co.uk/fms101.html


I may still write a short story I was thinking of sending one up to Prima so will follow on if I do this.

More Flowers in the Garden

Having filled the hanging baskets with lots of colourful plants I decided to carry on and buy more plants for the beds, I am hoping to have a riot of colour for the summer. Will post pictures when all in bloom.
Tom took me to B and Q and Joyce took me to a garden centre on Tuesdayso heres what has been planted:
Cytisius -goldfinch- the picture does look like little colourful birds
Heuchera lovely reddish colour and lobellia - a deep red
Seddum- lots of green, red, and yellow
Viola- sorbet yellow and lovely purples
Pansies- yellow, purple and sizzling burgundy with frilly edges
Mossy Saxifrage- pastel colours mixed
aubretia- purple
Mallow-pink
Laveteria-pink
dwarf veronica- blue and purple
Aquillega- summer pastel
And not really a flower but have always wanted one a quarter size Kilmarnock Willow it is pretty with lovely soft catkins.
So all the above join the camelia rhodedendrons for colour now to be followed by fuchia bushes and then monbretia in the autumn. Heres hoping that will give me some lovely colour for lots of the year. Think I will take pictures of the beds weekly to see the changes.
Had a lovely time planting them up today sitting on my little gardening stool can't wait for them to flower.
Was thinking about not getting bedding plants but they give so much pleasure immediately and cost no more than a good bouquet so thought it was worth it and they look lovely.

Ipod Touch

I decided to treat myself to an IPOD touch! I have been doing lots of paperwork at home in my own time for the preschool where I work and its usually unpaid but as its essential paperwork I put in to be paid for it.Used some of my savings as well. Its my new baby and I have just taken it out of the box.

Hopefully wont take me too long too learn how to use it!

More Flowers in the Garden

Went out today with Ellen to garden centre for bedding plants for hanging baskets, We bought primullas, pansies, lupins and little pansies- know these are called something else but can't think of there name right now.
Ellen got more pots and compost for her vegetable plot on top of the air raid shelter. We then spent a happy hour or so re-potting hanging baskets and a few pots. ellen potted up a plum tree and various other stuff up on the roof.

I need to do a bit of research now of what plants to buy for the beds as would like it to have a riot of colour in the summer so this job is only half complted but the baskets and pots look nice.

Not Buying Clothes

I can't believe how hard I am finding this, luckily in some ways have not been well enough to go out to shops like I would usually but am sorely tempted by clothes in magazines and the internet. I am still looking but have not bought anything.

Have asked for clothes for Mothers Day to help me but would really like to go out myself. My wardrobe is actually jam packed with clothes and I am trying to wear items not worn before but it is not giving me as much pleasure as actually going out and buying something new.

I even looked at clothes-pajamas- in Lidl I was getting that deperate but I couldn't bring myself to buy something there. Still am halfway through so will perservere, was hoping to try this for longer but do not have the willpower.

Spa Day at Home

Had a lovely day today with Joyce and Suzanne having a spa day at home. Got up early and had a bit of a tidy up then got ready with facepacks, magazines, Zen Chi Machine and massagers as well as Orgasmatron- not as rude as it sounds- and reflexology rollers. Had made simple soup for lunch. Joyce arrived with lovely pudding of friut jelly and yoghurt yum and Suzanne bought make-up to experiment with.

We started with noisy things things such as massagers and the Zen Chi machine and we did a kind of circuit between the three things, chatting away all the time as you do.

Joyce tried out the Orgasmatron but its a bit like tickling- you can't do iy yourself.

We had lovely lunch and then settled down for facepacks and meditation. We listened to Jan Sadler Five Feel Good Factors which was very relaxing although we looked pretty wierd with the facemasks on- especially as mine and Joyces were actuallt masks made of paper and very very cold.

After that we had tea played the Yes No Game to make us laugh and packed up ready for the others to go home, We were all chilled relaxed and happy. Sorry to those that missed it hope to have another soon Linda

Lunch with Pierce

Had a lovely lunch yesterday with Pierce in Fullers pub near Guys hospital. Nice food bit too much for both of us should have shared it. Had lovely chat with Pierce about his work, he will probably be going to Boston again in a few weeks. He then had to leave me to go back to work for a video conference call with Boston. Glad he is enjoying his job and he also showed me a picture of snow in Ireland where MIchelle is visiting her Dad and family. Think Sue is right to include partners of children so will add them into my list. Will meet Pierce again for lunch for next appointment which I foulnd out is not till December!! so hopefully will just do it again before then anyway.

Sues - starters orders

Got off to a good start today - worked on my list and now have 79! Hopefully finish it tomorrow.
Went out to dinner with OH - he thought it was 1/1001. I had to enlightened him that it was once a month he had to take me out to breakfast (may be not if its too early) / lunch/dinner - did have to agee that once in a while the'kids' could come too for special occasion i.e birthdays! Quiet here this weekend so working on a few things while I have the chance! I think I may have to set myself a some target for each month otherwise Ill be working on too many and as always will get muddled!

101 things in 1001 days - late starter

Thanks to Linda for starting us off on this challenge! I started my challenges today - haven't managed to get 101 things on my list so it is a work in progress . If I wait until I get too 101 we may be half way through the challenge. There are lots of things when I think about it that I want to do to do but never seem to have the time to do so hopefully this will help me in my quest.
Haven managed to do one already on my list - upload photograghs to my Ipod- dont ask me how but I did. Like the sound of taking each of my children out to lunch but guess they might run a mile. Will work on my list this weekend as have been busy with work.

Lunching with Children and Burning Work Papers

Thomas was off today so I just thought I'd ask him to come to lunch with me. We had a lovely lunch and a good chat so hope to repeat it again after have done once each with other kids.

Tom then encouraged me to complete another 101 so we set about burning all papers to do with my work complaint. At first I was holding some back like the nasty report my boss sent to OH saying I was a burden and the letters from my colleagues saying I was favoured by other bosses and took long lunches etc- but then decided it was best to do them all. Tom has taken my picture by the bonfire so hope to post that on here too.There are stil a few odd bits of paper around so will burn them as I find them probably on our normal fire as we might as well get a bit of heat out of them lol

Spa Day At Home With 101ers

Am having a spa day here on Tuesday for local 101ers. Pity we are not all closer but why don't you have one too. Would like to see all other 101 lists but no- one has posted them here yet or emailed.

We will be giving and recieving hand massages and maybe learn about Indian Head Massage if I can remember how to do it. Face packs maybe deep condition on hair, back massage with portable massager, nail bar, make-up experiments, lunch amd maybe a chick flick.

If you have any other ideas for what to do let me know

This months targets

I think I am going to work on a few things this month. I am starting the not buying clothes for a month. This is hard for me but if I combine it with wearng clothes out of my wardrobe that I haven't worn then hopefully I won't feel deprived of my clothes fix. When I look in my wardrobe it is actually bursting at the seams so really no need for me to buy anything but have to decide what to wear to Mum's 95th birthday party.
The listening to all my songs on my ipod is ongoing so am up to about 92 and find it very interesting.
I am also going to try to go on the wii starting this month as am now in negative pounds for ly losing 30lb goal since going away last week- may have to rethink that one or just start from where I am now.
Don't forget to follow the blog and post some comments.
If you also subscribe anytime there is a new post it will be sent to your inbox.

101 Things in 1001 Days lets start 1st March 2009

1st March 2009 to 27th November 2011
Its the day to get going and start our challenge it is so exciting, all those that are joining in seem to be really inspired by the idea though some seem to have started already- Ok guilty myself - have already worn a dress for a whole week- not the same one.
Have since noticed some other 101ers taking pictures of themselves doing their challenges so if decide to do the dress thing again will take pictures.

Hoping to take pictures of all the fireplaces in the Surrey pubs if only to prove to D's uncle that they are there lol

Am very new to blogging so hope this works out OK but think this could be the best way to keep it all going. Am taking lessons from P in how to blog so hope to make it look good and easy for us all to use. So will add on my list to this and if you send your lists to me whether completed or no I will add them to blog. You can of course add comments to this blog with your progress.

That can be next weeks lesson for me and Joyce as have been working on my sharing a skill target
