this n that

Well both boys were off school on fri too so have managed to drive me up the wall for several days LOL...Eldest did manage to get to skiing yesterday, they both went to club in afternoon and today they both went to respite playscheme...Have managed to get to gym on fri, yesterday and today LOL...I do miss it when i don't get and am managing to use cycling machine thingy again...Still can't use that cross trainer it makes me feel seasick and i don't get seasick <G>...I do need to book an appointment to get shown how to use the weight machine things in the gym...I am annoyed that they have opened yet another asda down beside the gym, parking is now a nightmare down there and the guys collecting trolleys etc treat it like it is asda private car park...The other shops and the gym are apparently going to be complaining about it...Bet it won't be long before they put a time limit up on staying in the carp park which is a bit useless if you go to gym for an hour or more then want to go to any of the shops...Yesterday we got asked if we wanted to book skiing lessons to turn this block into a 10 week one instead of a 6 week one...Will be doing this but can't book it until 2 weeks time as eldest is going away next weekend...

He's off to Ardroy outdoor centre which is beside lochgoilhead...This is slightly north of loch lomond and he went there last year...Beautiful countryside and the loch itself is also beautiful...They will be doing a lot of outdoor watersports again...He loves kayaking and i have been trying to persude him to do this up here also...He goes away fri at usual time for school and comes back on mon but not sure what time yet with him being off school last week...

Generally had a lazy kind of weekend and the weather has been warm and sunny and gorgeous...Sadly it has not long turned cooler and looks like heavens are about to open and pour down...Pity as i fancied going and BBQ the tea...Must get some flowers to chuck into the pots that are empty looking although some have survived from last summer...Toodle pip xx

 

WOOHOO!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS it worked...Ohhhhh am so chuffed now kids think i have lost the plot (nowt new there lol)...Now need to go experiment with my pics and FTP space thingymajig...

Have defo decided will write letter of complaint to the over all headmaster of eldests school about head of the base...I showed what she had written to his worker last night and he was gobsmacked...He knows she has been moaning about his hair for over a year and now wants to write to her and complain about her stupidity himself...Said no but he is going to write a bit to put in with the letter to head of school :o) ...He is also going to come to next review meeting with me :o) ...Both boys have been off school yesterday and today...Sore throats and feeling generally yuk...Eldest gets chronic hayfever every year from about end march through to beg sept...He first got it when he was 5 weeks old :o( ...What he has just now is i think the hayfever kicking in as the weather has been so up and down the pollens haven't come out in force yet...Youngest has only ever had hayfever once but he is sniffing, got iffy eyes and has a touch of sore throat just like hayfever affects eldest...They better both be back to school tomorrow...They drive me up the wall being at home all day LOL...I haven't managed to get to the gym which i am now sad enough to say i miss...I have a committee meeting for support group tomorrow morning and i really need to be at it...

I printed off pics of daughter looking pretty last night...Might get proper photo paper to do some with next week and can then frame one...Ex is demanding up to date pics of them all and to be honest daughter shrugging her shoulders about it...When i was in PC world yesterday i did see paper for making cards with pics on so may get a packet and do a pic of each of them on a card to send...That can be ex's birthday present LOL...

Got tickets through post today for rugby union match at local footie ground...It's Scotland V Barbarians...I got a call on tues from council sports officer for disabilities saying she had been given some freebie ones...One for the child and one for a carer to accompany them :o) ...She knew both mine liked rugby so she was phoning round parents of kids she knew who liked rugby first...Youngest doesn't want to go :o( ...He's been to that footie ground once and it was a blizzard and truely awful night...We ended up leaving before halftime as both boys were blue with the cold, they were wrapped up in several layers and i took my 2 jackets off to put on them and still soaked right through to the skin...Although that was 2 years ago he still remembers and refuses to go to that ground...If it had been at Hampden or Murrayfield he would have gone <sigh>...So there is a ticket for eldest and a carer...Guess who isn't getting to go <SOB>...He doesn't want mum with him (too embarassing) and asked his worker if he wanted to go...Am miffed i LOVE rugby so am mega miffed youngest didn't want a ticket...Speaking of youngest i asked in PC world yesterday what would be easiest MP3 player for someone to use...I explained i needed one easy to use because of his autism...A very nice man took me over and showed me the ones they sell and have now decided that an i-pod shuffle looks like the best option...Not too many buttons to confuse him on one of those...So will get one next week for his birthday pressie at end of the month...Still have no idea what he wants to do for his birthday he won't discuss it <sigh>...Have to go for now as daughter wants on to check emails...Toodle pip xx

Third time lucky???

Okies here we go attmpt no3 LOL...I now have an email with instructions on how to use the FTP space and get pics on here without having the box bitty round them...As a complete fruitcake with techy stuff this is now attempt no3 to get this into the journal...I did manage to get the pics into the FTP space though so that's a start <G>...My techy skills are on a par with a choccy teapot, in other words useless <laffs> ...Big thank you to person who told me what to do, you know who you are :o)...1st attempt pic wouldn't appear, 2nd attempt it ended up at the top and intermingled with the writing so here goes fingers crossed <G>

 

Whos a pretty girl/woman

Here are pics as promised of daughter in her prom dress...I know every parent thinks their kids are gorgeous but in a non biased way i do think she looks stunning...She had fun and enjoyed herself and wandered in at some sill hour of the morning LOL...She did say party after at someones house was a bit boring though...Am glad she enjoyed herself and had fun and hardly anyone recognised her...The wrap is actually black and purple devore velvet which you can't see...Am still rubbish at adding pics onto here so they can be seen bigger LOL...Toodle pip for now xx

This n' that

I had a great time on saturday...It was good being out and i got a wee bit pished <G>...Shame the club we ended up in was full of oldie blokes instead of dishy youngish ones LOL...I walked home in my bare feet much to daughters disgust and got in about 2.45am ROFL...Had no hangover yesterday <smug> lazed about and watched the grand prix then went to the gym...

Went to gym this morning and then took daughter shopping AGAIN <sigh>...Took her to see a pair of shoes i had seen in sale i thought may go with her prom dress...She didn't like them and they were too wide fitting but she did end up with a gold pair in same sale...I said would go with the evening bag she got last week...Turns out she returned it as it was no use DUH!!!...So we had to go up into town and see if they had any left...Luckily she got the very last one...Last week we had bought a nice necklace and hair thing to go with earrings she already had...Got 2 new pairs of earrings and another necklace today...She isn't wearing the thing in her hair as it isn't any use for the way her hair is being done...She's spurned fake tan <phew> but has got pretty false nails to wear...As the prom is tomorrow evening i THINK we have everything needed now...or put it this way WE BETTER have lol...I am not doing anymore damned shopping...I will take pics and i know i am biased being her mum but she does look gorgeous in her dress...

Went to ww tonight and wasn't happy lost a measly 1lb...I know i was out drinking on sat (which is rare) but i was so good all last week...I saved all my extra points from the gym for my alcohol...Have decided i am going to write to the headmaster of the school and make a complaint about stupid woman...Have about 20 zillion dates to write in diary for this month that are all scattered about on bits of paper...I think i may have double booked myself for 2 different meetings/talks next week LOL...Anyways am off to watch some more Hugh Grant...Never really liked him that much but he looks so much better and a bit of alright in this film <G>...Toodle pip xx
