A lovely day ahead the sun is shining so i am going to get my PINK shoes out to wear to work, to give myself a spring/summer like feel to today!
Shoes for today are alittle odd looking not sure you would get me to wear these! Blue leopard print "Heart of My heart" scalloped sandal, Jan Jansen, 2010.
Been told today that i am moving officies at work! I have very mixed views about this as i have been in the same office for the last 14 years. The reason i am moving is that i am doing extra work due to a person on maternity leave and my boss semi retiring and coming in 1 day a week. So all in all i will be working on other stuff which involves me working with my boss on that 1 day that he comes in to work, so they have come to the conclusion that i am best upstairs with him in his office great! Not sure when it is going to all happen may be in a couple of months as they need to fit two desks into John's office so he has got to get his finger out and start to sort out his stuff or i will siting on the floor in the corner on top of a pile of files! My other concern is that i want to know what will happen in 6 month times when the person on maternity is due back? What then happens to me, at the moment i feel like i am being pushed from piller to post, dont worry its only Nicky she's the capable one she can do it!!! I just guess that time will tell!
Feeling knackered today so am being boring and going off to bed and its only 9.30pm. Sweet dreams everybody and have a safe trip to mum and dad who are off to France tonight, lots of love to you both xxx

22nd March 2011
Got the kids off to school on this Tuesday morning then i am off to Thame to meet my lovely cousin Rachel for a coffee. She has just lost her gramp who died on Saturday night, so my thoughts go out to her at this very sad time, but like i said to her he is at peace now with no suffering and up in heaven with the angels looking over us in a much nicer and better place, which is what i believe!
We had a lovely long pot of tea from 9.30 until 11am which was very nice and enjoyable to catch up with her.
Had a very lazy day as did not feel to good, tummy again!
Picked the kids up from school but had to hang about to see Alfie's teacher due to an incident which happened at playtime yesterday. I must keep my cool! Alfie told us what happened and i have to believe him, but it seems if something has happened at school Alfie is always the one getting into trouble. I know that he is not an angel and he can be a typical 8 year old boy. But what happens at school should stay at school and i am not going to keep punishing him. They kepted him in at break time what more do they want me to do. I can talk to him and explain that he must be careful in the playground when playing and not throw things but also accidents happen! It just winds me up!
Took Polly swimming and each day i ask her how her day has been and the reply i always get is FINE mum, so i said Polly you always say that, so she said ok mummy is was beautiful then. I give up, what do they do at school and why do they not share with us about there day?
Had a nice curry for tea, a bit naughty better never mind there is always tomorrow to be good!

20th March 2011
A lovely sunday morning apart from Alfie and Polly waking up at 7.00am. They started to mess about in my bed so i sent them down stairs to play on the Wii, as i was not ready to wake up yet!
9.00am and i have a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich in bed thanks Phil, its one of those mornings when i can not be bothered to get up, so i start to read another book. I'm sorry mum but i brought this to give you for Mother's Day so i will read it first and you can have it when i finish it, i promise i will get a move on and finish it quicker than the last one! The book is anotheer autobiography by Sherrie Hewson, called Behind the Laughter.

Best get up as Polly has a Pizza making party at Pizza Hut in Aylesbury at 12pm and Alfie has Luke's bowling party today also and we have to drop him off at 12.30pm at Luke's house in Chinnor. So card writing and present wrapping is done and we are on our way to Aylesbury. I will drop off Polly and then go off to Tesco's and do our weekly shop. Tried to be good and only buy what we need but i still spent £150 and making good savings today of £29 not bad! No treats, no alcohol only good food with little fat in due to me trying to loss weight. Brought myself some cardboard rice cakes for work so i can pick on them when i get hungry instead of eating biscuits.
I have been very good this week as i have not had any alcohol, i poured myself a glass of red wine last night but had a couple of sips and then gave it to Phil as i did not fancy it. I will do my best and try and keep it up, but can not quarantee how long i will keep it up for. I am off to doctors tomorrow so i will get on the scales and see if there is any difference from last time i was there. If it has not made a blind bit of difference i will be having a large glass of wine tomorrow night believe me! Stop worrying Nicky and read that paragraph from Gok Wan's book that i posted yesterday!
Watching Come dine with me, that woman is agonying the hell out of me, she is picking at everything they put in front of her, why go on this programme if you are like this and the man witch did not even eat his own meal, unreal!
19th March 2011
Saturday and the weather is looking good. Polly went of to Stagecoach while Alfie and i stayed at home. Phil popped into his Dad's to pick up is new computer that he ordered last week. He also ordered a new TV for our bedroom which was delivered on Friday but i was not in so it is going to be delivered again on Monday we hope so Phil is working from home until it turns up. All we need is the bracket to put it up on the wall then we are up and running, yipee!
Due to the weather being so nice we decided to go to Thorpe park this afternoon and use our Merlin passes. So off we go around 12 o'clock only to find that there is a queue of cars going up the Stokenchurch hill to get onto the M40 due to there being a very bad crash by the Lewknor junction so all the cars have been diverted off and the M40 was closed between Thame and Stokenchurch, two lorries we heard on the radio. We eventually got onto the M40 and got to Thorpe park around 1.30pm as we stopped off at the new Beaconsfield services for some lunch as we thought it would be easier to eat before we got there.
Parked up and got into the park which did not look to busy, this is the ideal time to come just after the park
has opened for the new season! Went on a few rides dry and wet ones which the kids loved, but got very wet on the last ride so we decided to make out way back home as the park was closing at 6pm and by this time it was 5.30pm and my jeans where wet and i was starting to feel cold! Why do kids never feel the cold Alfie was walking about with no jacket on saying he was warm i will never understand them!
Had a really good afternoon, looking forward to having alot more like these with our Merlin Passes this year!
I am very pleased as i actual managed to finish my book, i know what you are thinking how long does it take to read a book? Well for me it could be a week but then again it could take a lot longer, like this one i started back in 2010 but i have finished it at last while driving to Thorpe Park. It was the Autobiography of Gok Wan
so i can now pass this book on to mum for her to read. There is a paragraph in the last chapter of this book which i would like to share with you: Gok Wan's words are:
' I firmly believe that you've got to embrace who you are as a person. You do not need to lose weight because you look in a magazine and see a woman who is airbrushed, re-touched, underweight and on a catwalk. And i know that because i've been on both sides of the fence. There's no point in losing weight and becoming addicted to the gym if you don't understand the person you are. You can never be happy that way. Accepting who and what you are and resolving to make the most of that person is the kjey. I truly believe that.'
I like this and it has alot of meaning to what he is saying!

Red Nose Day today, so the kids have gone to school either in Red or Green dressed as a monster or in their there best clothes. Polly wore a dress with some red lipstick in her hair, not sure it will come out? Alfie went in his Tottenham football fit what a surprise!
Friday my day of housework, but not today i am off to have my hair coloured, then Doddy is coming over so we can have lunch out again and to visit a shop which i pass every day going to work in West Wycombe.
I was a little late coming back from having my hair done as Claire my hairdresser suggested i should have it cut shorter due to the ends being very badly damaged becaude of all the colour and perm that i have had on my hair over the year. So off she went cutting away, OMG yes a bit shorter than liked but i guess it will grow quicker now i have all the split ends cut off. I must not straighten it as much as that does not help either.
Doddy was already at home when i got there so we went straight off to West Wycombe. The shop is called The Apple Orchard http://www.theappleorchard.com/ Its a lovely shop, so if you are passing you must pay them a visit, there is lots of lovely furniture and various gift ideas. I purchased a present but will not say what or who for just in case! There were some lovely and different pictures of buildings which had letters hidden in them which were put together to make a line of four letters spelling LOVE and HOME, these were great but a little pricey.
We were going up to the golden ball for a walk but it was raining so we will have to do that another day and Doddy said that she has never been down the Hell Fire Caves, which i have not done for years. Not sure what the kids will make of it but will have to do that also very soon when the weather gets better.
We had lunch at The Rose and Crown in Saunderton, as when we drove past there was a sign outside saying 2 for 1 meals so we went there and had a really nice lunch, thanks again Doddy what am i going to do next Tuesday and Friday when you have gone back to school!
The evening is here and we are settled down to watch abit of the Red Nose Day programme as Phil is not home from work yet. Its so sad watching this programme those poor children and adults with no sight. We did our bit and donated another £20 plus the rest we have given over the past week, lets hope that it gets to the people who need it.
The stars and celebrities do a great job putting this programme together, we liked the JLS dancers and the James Corden sketch he is so funny and having George Michael in the car with him was brilliant!

Had a good day at work getting to grips with some new job that they have given me to do until Mita comes back from Maternity Leave, if she returns that is as you get so used to being at home it is then so hard to come back to work, i know as i have done it twice now, but going part time is a god send, time at home and time at work is a very good split!
Read one of the guys papers in the factory today, yes The Sun of course, and there was an article about health but the one bit of information i liked the most was this:
BIG HIPS
FAT on the hips can mop up fatty acids and has an anti-flammorty agent that stops arteries clogging, according to scientists at Oxford University. Researcher Dr. Konstantinos said: "Some fat around the hops and the thighs is good for you."
I have cut this article out and have pinned it up on my pin board in the kitchen so every time i think that my hips and thighs are to big, which to be truthful is probable every day, it might make me feel a little bit better about it!

16th March 2011
A foggy morning driving to work which is never nice! But i have noticed that one of my headlights has blown so must get a new bulb before i get pulled over by the police.
In the papers today there is an article about the wax works of Justin Bieber being revielled today so we will have to pay another visit to Madam Tussuads for Polly to see it have her photo taken with him as she Loves him madness from a 5 year old i know!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_9420000/newsid_9426700/9426704.stm
Justin Bieber with his wax works model which critics say looks nothing like him!
Shoes for today: Fuschia silk " Pomposo" peep-toe stiletto pump with large rosette, Stuart Weitzman, 2008.
I like these ones very pink just how i like them!
As it is such a dull day today completely different from yesterday i am wishing it was like the picture on our calender at work which is in Tissington, Peak District, Derbshire. A lovely quiet little village in the countryside with clear blue skies.
Left work at 5pm but it was a nightmare getting out of Wycombe it took me 25 minutes to get from work to the pedestal roundabout, due to traffic lights just by the roundabout going out of Wycombe!
I must remember this for the morning as it will take ages to get to work in the morning if those traffic lights are still there, but is always the same nobody was working on the road typical i am sure they just do it for fun and agony people going home from work!
Kids eating there tea when i got home thanks to mum and dad. We will have ours later when Phil final comes home from work and probable when Alfie and Polly are in bed asleep, but not sure what though!
