Sunday morning and we lost an hours sleep last night as we had to put the clocks forward into spring.
Its another lovely sunning morning its 12 o'clock and i am still in my Pj's oops.

Polly went off with uncle Paul at 9am this morning to either legoland or Chessington as Paul needs to get is annual merlin pass sorted and Alfie and Phil are out front playing cricket on the green.

Had a chat with mum who at the moment is in France. They went to on the night ferry on Wednesday night and they are coming home tomorrow evening. They have done the garden but today it is raining so Dad is going to watch the Grand Prix and mum is going to read her book before the long drive home!

Alfie has football at 1.45 so i best get them some lunch then i must have a shower and get dressed.

Another, not so great football match, with all then kids on Alfie's team getting very upset as they keep lossing. This is due to the U8's football manager Mark not putting out to equal 6 a side teams like the last time a couple of weeks ago when Phil mentioned it to him, but he obviously did not listen as he has done the same today! The only time he looked around to watch our game was when a goal went in, probable to see who had scored as Alfie is on 21 goals so far for this season, and he desperately wants his son to get more goals than Alfie, how childish is that but that is why he also playing Alfie in defence!

Its 4pm and i hope that Polly is having a nice day the weather is lovely, Alfie has his cousin Ella around they are on the internet looking at the site for Moshi Monsters which is all the range at the moment. Another expense collecting the monster cards!

Having trouble uploading any photos onto my blog will have to try again later or tomorrow!

Polly had a great day at Legoland thanks uncle Paul!

Yippee its Saturday and we have no plans apart from Polly off the Stagecoach then off to a party straight after. Alfie and Phil went off to Wycombe to get their eyes tested. So apart from that the day is free to what every happens.

Polly had a great time at her party they had a magic man which she said was really good. Alfie's eye's are perfect so there is no excuse for him not seeing the board at school. I must do a letter to his teacher and just inform her that we have had his eye's tested and they are fine as it was her that suggested we do this as she thought that Alfie could not see the board from the back of the class from where he sits, so all is good! Phil's eye's are ok also, which is good no need for him to wear glasses just yet!

As the weather was good a bit colder than the pass couple of days but still sunny. Phil cut the lawn so i did a bit of weeding and trimming in the garden. Im not a great green fingered gardener i like the garden to look  nice but am not very good at what plants are best where in the garden i just like alot of colour which is why a put flowers in pots on then decking, i can manage that but not much else! I know its bad but perhaps i will get better with age!

Played a bit of cricket with Alfie on the ground outfront and then the boys watched football on TV,England V Wales at Cardiff. England won 2-0 i think. Polly and i went for walk as she wanted to take her baby doll for a walk. so we walk upto Spar and then popped into to see Ella who was on her way out to the park so we walked back down to the park with her and Phil and Alfie came over after the football had finished to play a bit more Cricket which Alfie is really getting into at the moment as nanny brought him a new cricket bat and ball for his birthday. Alfie is a typical boy who loves being outside being astive all the time and trying his hand at all sports.

Ella and Polly played in the park and looked after their little cousin Harry who is 2 who came to the park also, not on his own but with his mum Amanda. Stayed for an hour or so but it got so cold so came home. Ella stayed and played for a while and i gave them a lift home around 7ish as we got a takeaway from the Risborough Chinese. Naughty but very nice!

Friday and another lovely day ahead the sun is shinning again and the day is looking good!

Phil mentioned that he was going to sort out his clothes this weekend as we had a charity bag through the door on Friday. So i thought i should do the same as i have clothes in my wardrobe which have been there years without me wearing them so i am going to be ruthless and just go for it and get rid of things which i no longer like or no longer fits me. I have a coat in there which i used to wear when i was pregnant with Alfie OMG this coat is 9 years old that must go!

Good job done just in time as my nan turned up! Had an afternoon doing my ironing with the help of my nan bless her who is getting more and more confused as the weeks go on! xx

Had a very productive day today, cupboards or draws sorted, ironing done and entertained my nan for the day!

Been thinking about work today and the situation with my new work and the office move and i am  looking forward to it doing different work and learning more about the property side of the business. I think it could be good for me i just have a few concerns which i will speak to my new boss on Monday about but all in all lets get going. With moving office's at the end of the day i dont mind where i sit as long as i am busy and enjoying my work it does not bother me where i am, as i am only there 3 days a week and anyway its not up to me im not the boss which is what i will say to them Monday! You have to think of it this way, things dont always stay the same and changes can also be a good thing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A GREAT AND DEAR FRIEND WHO IS 38 TODAY. HAVE A GREAT DAY DODDY AND DONT WORK TO HARDxxx

A lovely day today sunny and warm lets hope that is the start of the spring summer months.
Waking up to a nice bright day makes you feel so much nice and fresh and ready for the day ahead!

23rd March 2011

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

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!
