to show you my desktop, i have chosen my desktop from work rather than home as it is mostly pictures of Sydney to cheer me up with a couple with Chris and i on...

Well the weekend ended up much better than i thought it would! Friday night Chris went out and i had a nice relaxing evening in front of the TV.

Saturday i cleaned while Chris was at work and then we had Amanda and Paul round for dinner.
Have to admit by the time the house was ready and we were ready i dont think either of us were really in the mood but it turned into a great night!

They didnt leave until 3.30am so that was another late night but we made up for it Sunday by having a nice relaxing day watching films and being too lazy to do anything more than fill the dishwasher with the debris from the night before.
My mums drainpipe has been moved to tonight so we didnt even have to leave the house!

Another whinge.....

We're skint, we're bored and we're fed up.

We both pretty much hate work at the moment although that one is much worse for Chris than me.

We are both totally fed up of NEVER doing anything fun.

We are both totally fed up with how the other one deals with being skint, bored and fed up.

Highlights of the weekend to come, Chris is working all day Saturday, I'm cleaning as we have guests Saturday night which will be nice but we can't really afford it.....

Sunday we get to fix a drain and hang a tv bracket....at my mums.

Video Cameras

Video cameras are without doubt a great thing to have with you when you take children somewhere exciting.
The only problem is that having borrowed my sisters video camera and filming our day with Sydney we didnt take any photo's!!
I was gutted when i realised.

We didnt take her to Knowsley Safari park in the end as the weather was awful we figured it would be a waste of time.
Instead we took her to Eureka which was fab!

As soon as we get a copy of the video i will try and post some but don't hold your breath, Sydney's mummy & daddy have a lot on at the moment with Sydney's grandad in hospital so it will probably be a while!

For the rest of the weekend we were incredibly bored, we didnt go out, no-one came round. All we did was watch TV and we were both bored with that!

More photo's!

Thanks for all the very flattering comments yesterday :0)
For those that don't know the photos was from Sydney's christening which was July 05, she will be 3 in May!
My older niece Claire has just turned 20!
I was going to post a current photo of Sydney but as we are having her overnight on Friday and taking her to Knowsley Safari Park on Saturday morning during which time i'm sure we will take a hundred photo's i'll wait till then and leave you with another old one from when she was a baby.
I always think this photo could've been used for an advert for something!

I want some fun!

Chris and i dont seem to be having any fun lately.

Poor Chris is going in work early everyday, finishing work late every day and working Saturday mornings.

I'm just doing my normal hours but now driving to Warrington its a slightly longer day and my job is changing all the time, at the moment its fairly boring.

When we do get some free time together where we dont have to visit anyone or clean house etc we are skint! Watching TV seems to have become our only past time and there is very little on lately.

Anyway whinge over, i just felt like a moan ha ha

Tuesday Ten #2

Would i rather......?

1. Live without music or live without T.V.?
I'd say music, i dont listen to it that much so probably wouldnt miss it AS much.

2. Have a beautiful house and ugly car or an ugly house and beautiful car?
Beautiful house, I can appreciate a nice car but am not really bothered as long as it gets me there...

3. Have x-ray vision or bionic hearing?
Hearing, there are more things i dont wanna see than i dont wanna hear...

4. Be stranded on an island alone or with someone you hate?
Someone I hate, I wouldnt want to be on my own and am not really a survival kinda chick!

5. Be 4'1 or 7'9"?
4'1. Wouldn't want to be taller than my man and i think small girls get a better deal than tall ones.

6. Speak like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vader?
Apparently i already snore like Darth Vader (so Chris tells me although it has been a while since he woke me up by saying "Luke, I am your Father!" in the middle of the night to make his point)

7. Read minds or be invisible?
Whichever would make me the most money...

8. Be able to fly or be able to live to 200?
Fly, why would i want to live past everyone else dying??

9. Get shot from a cannon or walk a high wire?
Shot from the cannon. Hopefully i'd hit something soft unlike the ground...

11. Watch a soap opera or star in one?
Star in one, i feel like i do sometimes, at least i'd be getting paid!
