ok ok i know i haven't blogged for a while but hey life happens.
I am still living in rented accomodation but the house is really coming on now...hopefully we will be able to move back in sometime in May. I am so looking forwardto it, I will have a craft room and so all my goodies that have been backed away in boxes for the last six months will be able to be unpacked and used....I can't wait. I am just hoping that nothing got lost in any of the moves.
Today is a beautiful day ( and the correct time now is 11:03am) the sun is shining , spring is in the air, children are playing outside and laughing and the birds are singing...
How do you let someone know how much you care about them? I'm sure that you have gathered that I really love my family but sometimes I'm not sure that they realise just how much and how special they are to me...Now i don't want to be over the top but i would like them to know.
This year I will be taking part in the Walk for Life in memory of my dad, "pops", who died in 1995. Thinking about Dad and Mum who I lost in 2002 makes me wonder if they knew just how much I loved them. I think sometimes we all get so carried away with the humdrum of life that we tend to forget the important things, those we love and those who love us.
Now as I have said previously friends are special to me too and showing a friend how much you care can be even harder, words sound so flippant sometimes and rarely express how you are truly feeling. I have a very dear friend that is going through a really tough time at the moment and I'd do anything to take that pain away from her. She knows who she is and she knows that I am here for her, I really am, at anytime.
Take care all, speak soon.........I promise

my middle name is Lesley
L is for laughter, I love to have a good laugh with my family and friends, i believe I am the source of their laughter on occasions too!

The F word
I would imagine that when you all saw that you thought of a four letter word which seems to have worked its way into everyday language. i have to say I hate the word!
But thinking about it so many good things start with the letter F , Fun, Family, Friends.....
and its Family and Friends that I would like us all to think about, people say that "we can't choose our family but we can choose our friends", "friends are the family we'd choose ourself" whatever aren't we lucky to have both?
I don't talk much about my family on here but that does not mean that they are not special to me, sometimes they drive me round the bend but I wouldn't be without them. We've had our moments, my husband left me when the boys were 7 and 5 respectively, it was a very difficult time and I don't think I'll ever forget how I felt when he told me he was leaving. He was away for two years and my relationship with my boys grew so strong. Things didn't work out for him and we both decided we would give it another try..we are still together now , and the boys are 24 and 23. It wasn't a decision either of took likely and learning to trust again was so very hard..even now sometimes I wonder......
6 years ago my eldest son had a terrible accident playing football, he was put on a life support machine, I had to watch my beautiful boy being kept alive by a machine, the noise of that machine still haunts me to this day, seeing him lie there so lifeless I wondered why, why my son, why now, why why why...I was fortunate enough that he made a full recovery and cherish every moment withhim and all my family. You never know what is around the corner, so make the most of your time together. We have our problems like other familes but I feel blessed that we are all together and can work through any problems and worries we may have.
Then there's my other family , my family of friends..my dear friends who share my laughter and my tears, who are always there for me in good times and in bad, my friends who make my life complete.
So thanks to you all for you make me what I am......
now go and have some FUN!!!!!!!

Why 365
now I was thinking, probably a stupid thought but a thought just the same. Why is it that a year is 365 days? why is it that we have 12 months? When we were decimalised shouldn't we have looked at this as well? just think we could have a year which was say 500 days, 10 months of 50 days...and we'd all be younger

Blood Pressure
now where shall I start. Today I had an appointment to have my blood pressure checked, it runs a bit high but then living with my lot its not suprising!
The day started well, up at 6:30, shower, wash hair, have breakfast, read the paper, make lunches ...all ok so far but then.......agh!
Dog was sick, not a major problem you may think but as I have told you we are in temporary accomodation. what I didn't tell you was that I have an off white carpet....so there I was on hands and knees scrubbing carpet and trying to get rid of beautifully yellow coloured bile. yuk! There's more....husband came in demanding how long had my front headlight not been working on my car.....now is that my responsibility ? I just drive it!
so its now nearing 7:30 and i thought that I could nip to the garage to see if they could change the bulb ( hubby not capable). Well I was greeted by 7 members of staff , great I thought, all who could but wouldn't as they weren't "technicians"...come back later. Don't they realise that I have other things to do? So 7:40 now , so I could go back home and face the wrath of the super grump or go to my sisters for a coffee, doesn't take much guessing which I chose. Got to sisters house, not up...so got her out of bed to make me a coffee, she's sweet like that. Had a nice calming chat and left at 8:30 for my doctors appointment at 8:45, not a problem I thought usuallu takes 5mins. WRONG... the road is closed in a local village and so all the traffic is coming through the town , so after trying three different ways I abandonned the car and ran....it is now 8:55. Now as my friends know I am not fit, fit to sit, fit to drop but definately not fit to run! So as I arrive at the doctors puffing and panting it is obvious to me and everybody else that my blood pressure is likey to be raised....and guess what...it was.
So after another 15 mins got taken again...still high and now I may have to see the doc for different medication. ITs not my fault I'm stressed out!!!!!!
But did my morning end there oh no.....took the car back to the garage who arranged for bulb to be changed. 3/4hr later after sitting in reception listening to some male twit using his mobile acting as if it was his office and sharing some secrecies, my car was fixed ( little does the twit know that I wrote down his name and his bosses name and the name of the person he was talking about and have googled them ...an email is winging its way to his boss as I speak). So off to work then?...no off my house to have a word with the builders and my neighbour. Yesterday my neighbour and I received a mail shot from a london company who were after work. They have totally upset my neighbour , she is 87, and after speaking to the builders, completely unecessarily.I am so cross, the lengths people go to to make a few bucks...I will be writing to them.
So off to work now....petrol light comes on, should be ok till later so won't worry about that, get to work and I don't have my identity card to get in ( shall I go home?) Anyway get in , here now, and wondering what else today will bring...............

time wrong
whilst it has been known for me to stay up late on the computer I am never on at 2:40am so ther is obviously something wrong with my blog clock.
Due to technophobia and excessive hormones it is likely to stay that way so unless I can summons some wonderful wizzy giggy being to alter it , it will stay that way.
Please bear this in mind when reading....and oh by the way it is actually 10:50am!

do you have a favourite loo?
now I know that may sound a really stupid qusetion but why is that when I am at work and have the choice of six do i always go to the same one? and even more bizarrely why do i hang on and cross my legs if the others are free but "mine" isn't"?
It's the same at home, I have two loos but only ever use one? Why?
It's not as if one is more comfortable than the other, I mean loo's are much of a muchness aren't they? It's not as if one smells nicer than the other ( although at home that is often true) , The loo roll is the same quality ...mmmmm why then?
any ideas?
